Why should they listen to your morality when you don't accept their morality? Nobody goes to war for some moral reason, nor should they. We seem not too bothered with genocides in Africa (and in Balkan earlier). Nor do we go after Soviet Union and China for their oppression of their people. Just the same, should the EU "do something" about the US because we have capital punishment which is supported by large part of the population?
Respecting sovereignty seems a prudent default stance, because it gets messy very quick after that.
If they stone their people for whatever reason they feel justified, we have no business telling them not to, just like they have no business telling us not to put what picture on our websites.
Wrong. Iran is about the only Muslim country run by the mullahs. Most (all?) other Muslim countries are run by king/dictator/elected ruler trying their their darnest to keep their hotheads under control. Look at Egypt, for example.
You know you drank the cool-aid if you manage to read whatever you want to read out of vague statements from the candidate that you for whatever reason decided to back. This seems most prevalent among Obama backers - guess the "hope" campaign is working. Also interesting that Pew pollsters profiles Obama backers to be more educated lot compared to Clinton backers (among Demos).
I don't mean to (dis?)endorse Obama, Paul, or Clinton, btw. I am not even sure what a candidate ought to say during the campaign, given the way they are waged, and what correlation, if any, exists between campaign positions and their actions in office.
I agree. MS is going to the shareholders, not the management. If I was a shareholder, I'd take MS offer in a second (cash, of course, not share swap). Yahoo's been doing mediocre for years now, before and after the return of Jerry Yang, and is not presenting any plausible growth plan, with/without Google alliance.
This is only good for trying to squeeze extra in the MS offer. Not gonna work either - +50% premium is pretty damn big, especially when the economy and ad revenue along are expected to slow down.
Church (or temple, mosque, synagogue, etc) serves social functions, too - it's not all about theology/philosophy. Get a grip, my man.
As for the Superbowl, I couldn't care less this year. I don't like either team. GO RAIDERS!!
Like other posts mentioned, how reliable is that info? Suez links Med to Red Sea, Dubai is on Persian Gulf, on the other side of Arabian Peninsula - no water linkage (unless you go out to Arabian Sea/Indian Ocean).
Hyderabad and "Hi-tech city" is pretty well known as the Indian software boom town second only to Bangalore, at least to those familiar with software/business oursourcing sector. "Google" has become part of English language and maybe it's ubiquitous in India because English is at least partially familiar to many Indians.
The guy's publishing in the journal he controls, and his org seems to be backed by state of New Mexico where I'm guessing there is lots of dino fossils and so pulls much weight in this dino business.
Asian economy has been busting through the roof, and the dollar's been falling for much of this decade - $600m isn't THAT much of a bait. The Google prestige, on the other hand, is something, but on the third hand, it's a data center, not R&D.
Dude, say what you will about the dude, but his book (the red one) was and still is an awesome book that taught whole lot of us programmers the nuts and bolts of cryptography, both the algorithms and implementation, in a nice compact package.

Well, not exactly lock-in, but stories of CA gouging their customers are stuff of legend - so I'm told. Wanna chime in here?
Why you so afraid of Bush?

WTF?! Stick the nail in already. And STFU!! Nail first. STFU second.
Two words, o smart one: noise cancellation.

Hm... this "universe"... feels different somehow...
Probably a Patriot fan - calm down man, it ain't the end of life. ;-)
And the prophet "whiskey".

Why chase them? Let them come to you...

Bit sensitive today, are we?

India and Vietnam won't work - power supply issue. Japan, Taiwan, S. Korea, expensive real-estate-wise.
I see that you have the "jihadi mindset". An engineer, by chance?

Like I've been saying, we should exterminate all the sociologists vermins. That's right, I did EE in school. ;-)
You guys put fuse into every extension cord?
