Why Bush a war criminal and not, say, de Gaulle (attempting to re-establish French colonies in Indochina and annex Algeria)?
Er, no. Charles de Gaulle came to power AFTER the fourth republic thoroughly screwed-up those issues by attempting to reclaim them. He recognized at once that France had no need for it's colonial empire and took the steps that culminated with the independance of Algeria. Viêt-Nam was lost thanks to a coterie of corrupt vietnamese petty officials who collaborated with the colonialists.
De Gaulle managed to completely ditch the french colonial empire in order to secure France's position as a world power. Britain fared much worse because it had developped it's empire for survival, as it was a poor island devoid of much ressources, whereas France only took an empire as a copycat gesture as it is a pretty bountiful country that did not need much from overseas.. And even today, Britain only manages to appear powerful because it is simply riding on the United States pettycoats whilst France has only herself to thank for it's power.
Nobody cares about economic regulation. For the average American, as long there's beer in the fridge, two new SUV's in the driveway, a white picket fence, bowling on Friday night and Monday Night Football, no one will ever complain, no matter how far they go. It doesn't even matter who wins the presidency, really, at this point.
[Every country in the world] wants to restrict entrepreneurs' rights by forcing everyone to register their businesses, pay taxes on undistributed and phantom profits, and get a license for all activities that compete with politically-powerful groups. The law is clearly designed to curb competition with government monopolies and free association, although it has yet to be approved by its legislature.
Americans are really clueles... Titling the article "sticking it to l'homme" for a Toronto ISP is like calling an Alabama ISP "A fine nigger ISP", given how the english HATE the french.
I can see where they're coming to... A new service:
Burn all that e-mail that's burning your account on a DVD overnighted to you for only $50!!! For an extra $20, all the e-mail that has been burned will be tagged "DVD" so you can delete it in a click!!!
This won't last long. All there is to be done is that other countries to refuse to hand over passenger data, especially for Canada.
Of course, the US will not allow aircraft from Canada to fly over the US, but this is no problem, because when Canada, in return, will refuse US planes to fly over Canada, and since there are waaaaayyyy much more US planes flying over Canada (going to Europe via the north-pole) than the reverse, the requirement will be scrapped in no time...
The funniest misdiagnose I ever saw was a false-virus alert... At one point (in 486 times), some bright dope brought about CPU fans with a speed alert. Whenever the fan would stop spinning, it would start playing "Für Elyse". So, those got installed at clients all over the place, and promptly got forgotten.
Several years later, a client calls, saying "my computer plays music". So, the tech sent there thought there was a virus, which was quite unlikely because the box was a Novell 3.xx server... Nevertheless, he bgrings the box in the shop, and it was only then that some old(er) hand remembered about the musical CPU fans... Sure enough, it was some caked-in dust that prevented the fan for turning, but for safety, we changed the CPU fan nonetheless...
Remember the bad old IBM that was incompatible with everyone else (remember EBCDIC), which you had to go through a select priesthood in order to do your job, and you had to wait three months for a trivial change to your report?
Apple is just like that: it's a platform so complicated that you cannot develop yourself software easily, you have to put yourself at the mercy of the high priests for software that does what you want, and worse than the original bad old IBM, it brainwashes it's followers into believing that all is well...

Hey! It`s a phone company. They don't care. They don't have to.
(Must be, with this 7-digit ID)
Huge URL.
So did communism.
However, given barriers to entry (last-milers don't have to open their infrastructure to competition), it is far from being a free, open market.
The handicapped mouse...
Who else parsed this as CRISCO????

Why bother? Just fly naked. No need for hand-baggage, being naked will be the in-flight entertainment...

What else can you expect from such an anti-business country?

Given how americans are hugely overweight, it would not make much difference...
Or run too many red lights...
The people who vote for them, **and the people who don't vote**.

Don't worry, pop, we'll make room for your walkier.
