The problem is they don't actually make anything, once renewables and oil shale ramp up and the price of oil begins a slide to stability the UAE will wish they'd invested in industrial infrastructure.
Qatar and Oman will ride the natural gas while the UAE and Saudi Arabia falter.
I've had conversations with Gizmodo, IO9 and Kotaku's editors and writers in the past, "15 year olds" is a good way to describe their "professionalism".
The Tundra has more front end fender flare. Rams have more open grills and try to look more like a tractor rig than a pickup. The Titan has much more arc to the cab and windshield.
Thats how to tell the five full sized trucks apart.
I've been driving full sized Chevys since '85, I can identify pretty much every Chevy or Ford model since '71 by year.
At least hundreds of billions of dollars in conventional internal combustion engine R&D for automotive, naval and aeronautical use in dozens of countries by hundreds of companies.
There are very successful engine designs that were finalized nearly 60 years ago and incrementally upgraded since then which remain among the best engines ever built, Mazda never had the R&D to compete with that, nor will this MYT engine.
iOS has the same problem, I manage 40 iPads and will be getting 26 more iPod Touches in that mix, they are a pain in the ass to manage, image and deploy.

So are the "rest" of them. The OWS protestors are soft and won't do what it takes for real social change, this is something I've complained that the protest movements of the last 15 years are all doing.
They are afraid to get hurt and die to make a change, the labor movements, socialism movements, communism, anarchist, civil rights movements, anti-abortion, and racial militant movements have not been afraid to kill or be killed for the advancement of the movement. However the anti-NAFTA, anti-WTO, anti-war, anti-G8, anti-globalization, and now OWS are soft and risk adverse.
Social change, real change won't happen unless they are ready to go crazy like the 1968 Democratic Convention or Haymaker Riots, until then all the protesters are doing is getting their faces on TV and providing a reason to update Facebook for their own ego boost.
Show me where Herman Cain, John Huntsman, Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney want to "show religion down our throats". Bachman, Santorium and Perry do, but they aren't the entire field of Republicans running for President.
"Akira Takeishi of the Institute of Innovation Research at Hitotsubashi University has investigated why Japanese firms are highly competitive in some industries (carmaking, electronics, imaging products, video games) and less so in others (personal computers, software). He concluded that Japanese firms did best in manufacturing industries with closed product designs that do not require collaboration with the rest of the industry, and worst in fields based on open standards and modular architectures. So if the nature of innovation has changed, and it now depends on collaboration with other firms around the world, Japan could be in trouble. Japanese patents with foreign co-inventors accounted for less than 3% of the total, compared with 12% in America."
You folks that spew the China owns half the US don't ever do research do you?
As of January 2011, foreigners owned $4.45 trillion of U.S. debt, or approximately 47% of the debt held by the public of $9.49 trillion and 32% of the total debt of $14.1 trillion. The largest holders were the central banks of China, Japan, the United Kingdom and Brazil.
As of May 2011 the largest single holder of U.S. government debt was China, with 36 percent of all foreign-held U.S. Treasury securities (16% of total US public debt).
The term American has been used since 1648 to refer to those living in the British Colonies of North America and the Articles of Confederation in 1777 refer to what will become the United States as America, George Washington referred to those living in the United States as American in 1796, while treaties refer to America and Americans in 1795.
So you can whine all you want about it, but those in the United States have been using America and American to refer to the United States and those who living in the United States much longer than Canada has been a nation.
Lets not get too excited about China and manned space flight.
They started trying to get a human in orbit in 1967, they canceled two other programs and this successful program took 11 years to get a human in orbit. They haven't had a human spaceflight since September 2008.

"Road GPS routes can be determined without much difficultly at the network level, and data like from the UAE shows that it will save lives."
My office is 3m from a major road in the Anchorage CBD, under your proposal the messaging would be blocked with GPS.
The accuracy of civilian GPS varies from plus or minus .5 to 6.7 meters.
So I could sit at work and have all my SMS blocked because of the inherent inaccuracy of the system.
In some US states if you need a vehicle to get to your work place you have a "right to work".

Right to Work states are generally among those with the weakest laws punishing impaired driving.

I can tell an iPad and iPad 2 apart at ten feet, Samsung needs lawyers with better perception skills.
English common law, Islamic law, Feudal law and Napoleonic code established the concepts of private propert, not a government.
Tax evasion isn't theft, it's tax evasion.
Would you say Linux is Windows? Of course not, so why say tax evasion is theft?

Compared to the LS Camaro or Mustang the RX-8 has crap milage.
29 city 35 hwy for LS Camaro with 3.6L and 304 hp
19 city/31 hwy for Mustang with 4L and 305 hp
While a C-17 can't land there, the LC-130s can, the C-17s can drop cargo, which is part of what Operation Deep Freeze does.

Right, but in the case of the US, China, Brazil, whoever, the US has far more bombers, submarines, ICBMs and aircraft carriers than the "repo man".

Whenever I get mod points I get 15. Yea, my Karma has been maxed for a while, since like 1999 or something.

While I agree with you about Reddit, at this point Fark has a better system than Slashdot. Fark for godsakes.
Reddit is better than /. because there is a ton of p0rn on reddit, get some p0rn on /. and it'll be a huge help.
