The US still is under the impression that sanctions and trade embargoes will actually cause regime change in these countries. My response was directed at that statement, not the Cuba situation specifically.
The UN still is under the impression that sanctions... Fixed your typo. Unless you're under the impression that the US has complete and total control of the security council suddenly.
Desktop searches are designed for the non-techies. Non-techies typically use Windows. 'Nuff said. Look, I know everyone here has hard-ons for Linux here, but please use some common sense.
yet Google would still not allow them to try their products until everyone else had. No, that's not a correct analogy, as Google does not have to produce and sell any product just because *you* say so. A better analogy would someone getting pissed because they can't get a Ferarri engine put in their VW bug.
...the fact that Nintendo is taking a largely 'hands-off' approach to quality control should provide for a comparatively wide selection. This will also likely result in a number of buggy & crappy games being released.
Despite the years of Halo 3 hype, is anyone else more excited about the (hopefully soon) release of Bioshock? The gameplay footage so far has looked amazing, especially the clips demonstrating the use of telekinesis.
all include unlimited data If the phone calls will be running on voIP, which is *data*, then technically there should be no monthly limit on minutes. Who wants to be the first to try this out?
What about the elderly or other computer illiterates who also will need to use the system? They need to balance the needs of both groups - and not replace the standard catalog search with a FPS because it'll be easier for the youngin's to understand.

which case that'll teach you not to cite a publically editable source! Or, I can choose to not care. I merely pointed out that *technically* the ATM is older than 40 years. You guys can quabble all you want about the US vs. UK argument, but it matters not to me.

From Wikipedia:
A mechanical cash dispenser was developed and built by Luther George Simjian and installed 1939 in New York City by the City Bank of New York, but removed after 6 months due to the lack of customer acceptance.
I suspect that some of the stuff that's about to come out will be quite embarrasing to Jimmy Carter. Exactly - He's been riding the talk show circuit and talking a lot of shit lately in order to sell his books. I'm sure he's pissed off enough people with enough power to do something about it.
The government routinely declassifies documents after 30 years and releases them to the public. I believe the idea is "well, in 30 years, everyone who dealt with this will be dead, so that's a good time frame." Stop trying to stir shit up and act like this is some big to-do.
From the summary:
The 20-foot shipping container (which will be white, not black) will sit on a concrete pad behind the computer building with hookups to power, a 10-gigabit network connection and a chiller located on an adjacent pad. I'm not sure where the confusion is.

Yes, because slide rules and log tables are essential to survival.
