The thing is that in Japan you can't talk on the phone onboard most public transport because it is forbidden or impolite but you can send text messages. The predictive text software in the iPad for japanese input method is one of the best implementations around. For sumo wrestlers, sure this would look like a godsend. For them, voice communication will be a nice added bonus, but not a deal breaker.
Brian Deegan, whose son, Josh, was killed in the 2002 Bali bombings, said the reality of terror plots at home in Australia is exactly why students should learn about terrorism in school. He said the teacher could have been on to a good idea if the end result of her lesson was to extract feelings of regret and sympathy for the victims of their fictional massacre.
"I think discussion about it in classrooms is a bloody good idea, as long as that's the direction it's going in," Deegan told The Associated Press. "If it was intended to teach them about the impact, the effect of terrorism on innocent people and to try and extract sympathy, empathy and regretfulness in the aftermath, then I think that it's a positive move. Anything else and it's plainly stupid."
Hard to put it in a better way. Perhaps I would add in the asignment what countermeasures they could take against their own plot, with emphasis on diplomacy.
I was under the impression that the prices would be similar to Japanese prices in the US. There I bought a clip of 10 for the equivalent of $USD 8 more or less.
What I can't understand why some analgesics here sell over the counter an in the USA are very restricted. I would guess that NAFTA has some provisions for coordination in the 3 countries, or at least the DEA and the FDA should have interdepartmental talks. It is not like the gangs need aside the business of drug smuggling, people trafficking and protection rackets the business of analgesics too.
Even more disturbing is the fact that the strict controls over several analgesics are creating a new market for drug traffickers, giving even more money to the mafia. The northern Mexican border is filled with pharmacies that cater to the American consumer aside the thriving illegal analgesics market under control of the mayor drug cartels.
Here in Mexico a box of 50 Bayer's Aspirin sells around $USD 3, generics are even cheaper than that.
I live in Mexico, when I was making my preparations for the rainy season I put white roof coating with a textile reinforcement membrane bought at my city's Home Depot. After that, the temperature dropped 3 - 4C inside the home. It actually made me cancel the purchase of an AC unit. Instead I use a set of timer-controlled fans that inject cold air from 3am up to 9 am that makes the average temp inside around 25C (77F) even when the outside temp is 34 C under shadow.
I would love to put double or triple pane windows but since the local construction code doesn't have a word about insulation those are prohibitively expensive. My next home improvement will be to put a solar water heater, that thanks to the high gas prices are becoming cheaper and popular here.
...for starters, from POTUS and the Congress for what the US did to Iranians in 1953. Anything less is just posturing. In a perfect world, they could also press charges against the US officers and corporations that against the US laws of the time knowingly supported the crimes of the Sha regime. I pretty much doubt that the US Constitution and laws have or have had provisions for the authorization of the torture and murder of innocent people at will.
The current half assed job at "justice" that the US does simply paints the legitimate Iranians activists as collaborators of a foreign power that menaces to destroy the Iranian nation and provides the current regime with a perfect scapegoat for their brutality and economic incompetence.
Every truly independent nation state works in their own best interest. That's a given. I don't understand why you got a insightful mod. Russia is not Colombia or Mexico. For the Iranians case, getting into a war of choice against the west would mean the end of the Iranian regime. That would be an unlikely case of extreme collective stupidity. Your mention of North Korea reinforces the point of why the Iranians "would" want nuclear weapons, nothing more.
This plant produces plutonium-240 useless for weapons so the only contentious point remaining in Iran's nuclear program is their enrichment facilities.
Now, if the claims that the Kirchner's were friendly to Clarin when they got support from them, is another history, but, if communications licenses are not legally transferable like some argentinians posters say, this is more a problem of stupid management than anything else.
Certainly, if Clarin group whasn't one of the main supporters of the murderous Argentina's dictators of the 1970's their claims of freedom of the press would hold more wather and not be simple posturing.
Actually, León was the thing that made me make the horrible mistake for voting for Fox in 2000. Is a really nice city, if they got rid of the Christian Taliban theocrats that rule the state and Leon's bishop León by far would be one of the best cities of the whole country. About the comment that the country is going down in to anarchy, for northern Mexico it is awfully true.
Ups, that was my "wooosh!!" moment. Well, yes, if banning guns have the same effect that banning drugs had, kevlar and armor will become a necessity like food an shelter. About home made firearms, it reminds me of Jules Verne's "Mysterious Island", when the protagonist make nitroglycerin almost out of nothing. Except for the steel, everything needed for the gun's workshop could be bought in a Home Depot.
It was awful, but, since my grandma is a famous and respected citizen in her town, the people there helped to fix her house, because the army destroyed the house's doors and some furniture. Fortunately, only a cousin needed to go to the hospital because she suffered a nervous breackdown. It was a severe screw up, the people in town became very angry and needed the intervention of the state's governor to calm things. Sadly, the same people that were angry against the army 2 months later were demanding the army's presence in town because the security situation deteriorated sharply, having more murders in a few weeks than in the decade before.
From the military side, they will not pay anything, the op was off record and the human rigths commission is a worthless bureocraucy.
This is a remake of the british opium wars in China. I suggested legalizing drugs since 10 years ago here, but I was received with funny looks from my coworkers after they heard my suggestion. After legalizing drugs we will still face the public health problem only, not like now, we are facing a public health, security and an economic problem. But, since Mexico is a de facto american colony, things will change until a decision is made in Washington, but I doubt that the Obama administration will gave its permission to the puppet here to do something so politically risky.
It is not necessary to build a gun in prison when the prisoners can simply smuggle a high quality weapon inside, or even better, get to use the weapons from the prison guards. That what was allegedly happening in the Gómez Palacio prison, the death squads that where murdering people in Gomez Palacio and Torreon were the prisoners that could get in an out of prison when the gangs needed their gunmen to execute mass murders.
The most reasonable thing to have been done is to have edited the documents and then publish them, even if if the information had to flow way slower. But it is ridiculous to assure that the people being killed is "because Wikileaks". The country is already at war, and is even a custom among afghan warlords to switch allegiances in the middle of a battle, so really it couldn't come has a surprise that some people that is named in those documents be a target for the Taliban, Wikileaks or not.
Personally, here in Mexico after seeing how my grandma and my uncles were almost killed by the mexican army at their home just because some asshole SOB did an anonymous tip to the army joking that my grandma had kidnaped someone and our soldiers took the tip at face value, I lost all the enormous respect to the army that I had before. I suppose that the afghan victims or violence by the NATO's forces or the warlords would feel the same at least, even more when the NATO's answer is to drop bombs in the suspect's homes.
If we take in to account that the ISAF, the afghan army and the police behave way worst than the mexican army or mexican federal police, it is no surprise that they are not winning the war, but winning a lot of enemies. If they wanted the Taliban to succeed they couldn't make it better.
The people that does this and don't do anything about changing the password will be really owned, it is already enough bad that Apple after all this time didn't fix the severe remote execution hole in iOS and now this guys are posting without any warning that people install openSSH with default settings.
Aside from that, they are brushing aside a well established brand in hardware and software. Next, they will be selling hardware in the blue and white color scheme or what? I undestand the change if Sun and Oracle overlapped significantly in they offers, but this is not the case like the merge of DEC/HP/Compaq.
I have a Nokia phone that does have a similar problem, the manual says that you shouldn't touch an specific place of the phone so you don't block the signal from/to the RF transmitter. The fact that most people doesn't read the manuals of their devices doesn't mean that many more phones of other manufacturers would show this problem. In Apple's case, they must have been more careful with antenna design, because the expectations of people from their products are fare more higher than from rival companies. If a Nokia phone drops calls is not news, Nokia sells hundreds of different models from the dirt cheap to phones with the same price of the iPhone 4. Another thing is that almost all people that I have seen with a smartphone, have it in a protective case, so really, this is a non issue for most people except for those that want to show off and brag about having the latest product from Apple. But Apple didn't helped itself with de design choices that it previously have made in the case of the first Mac laptops without firewire, the design problems of Time Capsule and other issues where form has preceded function.
A really poorly designed pay system since it only works on really good times. Bonuses shouldn't never be more than a third of the expected income. I would hate to be in the managers or workers shoes. I make around those 35k, but in Mexico, an income like that makes you "rich" and on bad towns, a prime target for kidnaping. I work for an state owned company, those don't do by law profit sharing since in theory the profits go to the state coffers (being Mexico... well,.. Mexico, you can get the idea to where they are really going), but on the plus side we have all the benefits that workers should have according to our legislation and many benefits better than that.
By law in Mexico if a company or business post a profit in their tax reports a percentage goes for all the workers. I suppose that the same goes for many european countries. Even if the law doesn't force you to do it, it is a good practice to do it anyway since it is an incentive for the workers and employees to do a better job.
Well, on defense of Apple, I will say that I had an original eMac 700 MHz first model that just died 2 months ago because my lazy younger brother didn't vacuum it in 5 years. Those machines were really sturdy and extremely well built, almost child proof. The current Macbooks are better built than common Dells, so it is not hard to believe that the machines will be cheaper on the long run. Now, I personally think that at High School level you will be hard pressed to find any task that will be platform specific. Since the machines will be property of students, they should had requested only a minimum configuration and, if the school administration found it cost effective, equip the school labs only with Macs.
The problem with PDVSA was that the management was running the company like it was theirs, not like a property of the state and/or the people of Venezuela. Most people put under the rug the big problem that was the PDVSA strike in 2002, it caused more damage against the venezuelan economy than the current economic crisis. Having the main source of state's revenue in the hands of people that doesn't believe in the necessity of a strong state, ready to sabotage anyway the economy of their nation for their own benefit was suicide. The increase in oil prices from 2003 onward was not only caused by Bush military adventurism, but also because Venezuela and Iran exercised a stronger control in oil production, that benefited their national interest. Now, perhaps the americans or europeans would like better a subservient government that the ones we have had in Mexico, that did everything to keep oil prices down and didn't join OPEC only to became a paria in OCDE, exporting crude oil and buying american refined products. Good for America, really bad for us.
I'm amazed to find so many people with that lousy mindset in this forum. The guy that "lost" the phone left it logged in his facebook account. It would be has easy than post a message: "I Gary! I have your lost phone, call me to XXXXX XXXXX XXX to get it back" from the one that "found" the phone to be in the clear that he did made an honest attempt to give it back. Yes, the big corps have the ear of the government, but that is no excuse to begin to ignore all laws and forget about basic manners. I listen to this stupid excuse in Mexico everyday, and now we have at least 1 million people on the gang's payroll.
15 months ago in a trip in Japan I lost my passport in Akihabara, Tokyo, maybe I dropped it when I was looking for my credit card. I filled a lost item report in the police box in Akihabara; while I was filling my report somebody else came in the police office to deposit a lost credit card. I got my passport 3 days later; I was very impressed with the honesty of the common people in Japan and the kindness of the police force of Tokyo, so much that one year later I got back to the country and spent with my wife and my sister in law around $15k in the country. I have family in USA that always invite my to make the trip to California. But, if I have to tolerate the humiliating treatment that TSA and the consulate gives to brown skinned mexicans and on top of that I have to be afraid that in USA my possessions anyway will be in the same danger than they are here in Mexico; no thanks, I skip.
