But the "face" issue has been addressed already by the Iranian regime when they say that they have taken successful countermeasures against this attack. Since the reports of iranian failure come only from hostile western media and by the nature off the installations there is no way to verify who is saying the truth, nationalism and flag wrapped iranian theocrats wins.
Now the incumbents could claim with proof -a tenuous proof, if you like- that the opposition is in bed with the US and Israel and against their own country. Nobody likes collaborationists. They managed to set back the enrichment program, but strengthened the hand of conservatives far more. Time will tell if this isn't another pirric victory like in 1953.
Well, if the general american public were has well educated has they believe they would know that in the ancient Roman Republic they had several laws against the concentration of wealth and luxury precisely to prevent that the rich roman citizens could buy votes from others. If the general public doesn't know this then the guys at SCOTUS definitively should but their voting record shows that they, too, are ignorant in law matters.
Thats' a ratter original view, but without a good general public education system you end without a modern state since education is the basis for a responsible citizenship, a working public health system and the existence of a middle class. The main tension between the public school system and religion comes from its almost inherent secularism and the divergence from religious/custom based knowledge and scientific knowledge. About kids disagreeing with parents and disrespecting gods, thats what kids have been doing at least since ancient summerian times if we trust the oldest written records by humankind.
I'm from Mexico and in my case, thanks to the public education system is that I afforded an education than let me work in IT instead of cleaning up windshields at crossroads. That system was painfully built by heroic teachers that faced execution at the hands of ignorant mobs. Close to the town where I was born is Tabasco, Zacatecas where in 1935 was violently raped, murdered and carved up the teacher Maria Murillo by an extremist catholic gang of Cristeros. Around 200 teachers were murdered in those years, and many more had their noses and ears cut out in the name of God. Despite that they succeeded and thanks to them Mexico made the "mexican economic miracle" of the 1950's-1960's years; if not were by the incredibly corrupt, inept politicians and mexican elite of the last 35 years Mexico could have been like South Korea is today instead of the bloodly mess that currently it is.
The public school system purpose is to set a mínimum level of knowledge among the population of a given area/state and, on a secular democracy that means that religious dogma has no place in it, but you are free to put your sunday religious school and let the children study there if they and their parents choose it. If you let religious dogma creep in the public school system you will end with México or Chile in the best case scenario or Saudi Arabia, Iran or Taliban Afganistán at worst.
Well, here in Mexico most people used to think exactly like the Chinese do now. Many didn't mind the mass murder of Tlaltelolco Square in 1968 or the US sponsored Dirty War in the 70's since they had a realistic hope of a better future, if not for themselves, for they children. Now, with 30 years of stagnation, the north border almost closed and two generations that will not get a better life than their parents, people is more politically involved than 15 years ago.
If this site is staffed by ex-Wikileaks members then Wikileaks is better without them since they didn't understand the point that Wikileaks is not about "leaks" but about accountability. A democracy without accountability is no better than a tyranny and the key to a lack of accountability in a sick democracy is the control of the mass media.
For that reason is better the approach of Wikileaks. Who are they to say who is an interested party and who not? They need to do better than Wikileaks and promote themselves with a better argument than a ad hominem attack against Assange. They say that they were members of Wikileaks. Where is their proof? I or Cmdrtaco could say the same.
That is what those cables seed light in the case of Mexico. I feel strongly about it since the mexican army almost killed my grandmother an 3 other family members in an illegal raid in their home just because the stupid assat that we have has president launched a war on drugs on US's government behalf.
Really, if americans citizens are so used to being lied at by their government then at least they should make all of us a favor and make pretty sure that their armed forces don't operate outside their country's boundaries and stop all that bullshit about spreading a democracy that they don't value or know.
Some people in USA and western Europe are eager to support wars in the name of "freedom" as long as others put the battlefield, casualties and they are out of harms way. For them dropping bombs on wedding parties are just innocent mistakes. They still are in the mindset that they need to destroy the village to save it.
Here I pay more on income tax in a single day than Walmart Mexico in a whole year. This arrangment destroys the markets. After all, poor people don't buy stuff.
The writer of the original article and many posters look like they aren't aware of the next release of OS X. This will be a perfect justification for the 30% cut on the App Store. Perhaps they will even offer a service similar to SourceForge to sweeten the deal. With this capacity, they can afford to do it.
Here in Mexico I remember sending to the trash can dozens of USB 1 ports around the time of the early Pentium machines,that was around 1996, they were useless because Windows didn't had drivers for them and you couldn't get any device that used USB, but in the next year I bought an Hp2200 or 2100 USB scanner for home use. Here is the inverse of Argentina, you can't get a PS2 keyboard anywhere, and the PS2 mice are USB mice with adapter. But most early USB devices on sale were "bondy blue" and white to match with the original iMac.
But, in the case of SSD's and hard disk drives, the most plausible scenario is that homes too will change to a tiered storage like data centers with SSD's on mobile devices and HDD on backup appliances. I have at home one 1.5 Tb disk, 3 1 Gb disks, and several others ranging from 250 Gb to 500 Gb. Backups are a necessity at homes too. Even if mobile devices are faster with solid state storage, you will need a local backup of all that data because those devices could be lost or stolen. In many places even in fist world countries the broadband speeds simply are not enough to make or recover a 64 Gb back up in a reasonable time.
They still do Painter in their several versions for mac. The last Corel Draw that they developed in 2001-2002 for Mac still works with some kirks on Snow Leopard, something that I can't say for many software from Adobe developed 2-3 years later. Certainly, Corel dropped almost all of its mac software doe to poor sales, but in Adobe's case, they still get strong revenue for mac customers, it is not like they don't have a business case for developing quality mac software.
XRes was killed by a lawsuit that Adobe brought against Macromedia related to the user interface, IIRC it was related to the snap tool tabs and a too broad software patent granted to Adobe. At the time, Xres was a serious contender against Photoshop because it had a far better memory manager and it was compatible with almost all Photoshop plug-ins.
If this history developed in China or Venezuela, here will be many comments about the dictatorships of China and Venezuela's Chávez. Where in the hell is the public outrage about this!!?? For shit like this is that I never have set foot in the USA and instead go to vacation and shopping to Japan. If I wanted to be mistreated or harassed by security forces, the mexican police and army already fit the bill, thank you very much.
The end of Xres is one of my main reasons to hate Adobe. That, and the incredibly crappy software that they develop for OS X. It is like Adobe really don't want it to work. Even Corel with all their troubles manages to build their apps properly for OS X.
This is more gossip trying to become an urban legend more than anything else.
If Jobs went to Japan around the times of the Obon festivities when everything everywhere is more crowded than normal, he really does like Japan enough that he will be back again, shurikens or not. After all, have too many amazing places that even Jobs with all his money cannot buy.Kyoto
Another reason for why i will never set foot on "the land of the free". At this rate the USA will be barely distinguishable from China at the end of the next decade.
Sorry, but when more than half the people in the all the countries south of Rio Grande/Bravo live with less than one dollar a day the offer of a chance to work in USA even for 10 dollars a day is extremely compelling, with papers or not. Immigration is an economic problem more than anything else. A USA without migrants is a USA without jobs to offer or a too poor USA that nobody wants to go there. Illegal immigrants should pay a fine high enough to be a good punishment but low enough to be paid by honest means. Also, I think that the funds from those fines could be used to pay a reimbursement to legal migrants. The point must be to keep honest people honest.
You could say that we* should fix our problems ourselves and you are right, but, the main problem with Latin-American countries is that almost all have rulers more worried with keeping the people in Washington happy than in improving the supposedly "independent" nations they rule. And we can't get rid of those bastards because the US will send money, weapons and soldiers to keep their puppets in place, even if our countries get destroyed in the process because lives of brown skinned people are less worth than the life of an NYC street dog. Our resources on the other hand...
For example, the bosses of the murderous Mexican gang of "Los Zetas" were originally Mexican special forces trained in the (in)famous School of Americas in the USA, the American taxpayer should be proud because those guys put to use every fucking disgusting thing they learned there on civilians, police and of course, illegal immigrants. But, since knowledge is like fire, now all the gangs use those methods too.
A better technical solution would be special alarms/monitors for parents, similar to the common baby monitors for home but with a motion sensor to detect the presence of a baby. They could be even 3G so they could phone a series of preset numbers and, in the case there is no response from parents then autodial 911. I remember reading a/. Story one or two years ago about the mayor car makers researching an special alarm for these cases.

I'm from Mexico and even me and many of my coworkers admire Russ Feingold.
Maybe american citizens don't see a need for honest men in their government.

A modest proposal
Well, using that convoluted logic the mexican state of Guanajuato declared that effectively, women that had an spontaneous abortion are guilty of murder, even if those women had that spontaneous abortion because they were poor and couldn't afford effective health care. Some of those poor women spent more than 5 years in jail. So, if conservatives are really against all abortions, they surely must be in favor of a quality universal health care and 100% behind preconceptives, no?

Or the fact that in the Honduras coup the ambassador and Clinton were fully aware that the removal of president Zelaya was illegal while they were lying to the public? Here in Mexico they confirmed the information of the prestigious magazine Proceso that currently is under attack in a smearing campaign by the mexican government and media megacorp Televisa.
