However, instead of "youth unemployment", the questions our politicians are trying to dodge are a bit more worrisome:
1: "How is it that a person, who had himself declared clinically insane to dodge Lawsuits, is now our elected President?" (You might gape, but it's true.)
2: "You said our electricity problems would be solved by April, yet we have rolling blackouts (for up to 36 hours in some places!), when will the Govt. solve that?"
3: "Why isn't the Government obeying the Supreme Court and re-opening the Swiss Court cases against the President and his cronies?"
4: "Why are most of our Senators, MNAs and MPAs (National/Provincial level Congressmen) having fake degrees?"
5: "When will we stop having to stand hours in line to get Sugar, Flour and other necessities?" (Incidentally, checkout this vid I made while I was standing in line for Sugar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSTbkO4vyRs)
There are other, equally worrisome, questions, but as you can see, any of these questions, if dug deep, can be used by the (equally corrupt) Opposition Parties to break their already weak Coalition Govt.
So the solution is simple: "Why are you taking out rallies against us, Look, the Danes drew a cartoon/Facebook insulted him/[Insert Diversion Here], go there! Yes, Burn those evil western overloads, (even though they are the ones giving us the loans that we squander to buy our Jets), Burn them!!!"
"The chakra points (or chi/ki/whatever) nonsense may be total bunk"
Tell that to the Hyuuga clan and see what happens;-P
But I agree, this placebo thing is awesome, why not use it on purpose? After all, in a tablet, isn't most of it composed of non-active ingredients? Make a tablet totally made of the non-active stuff, label it "Medicinol" and give it to people.
If the problem still persists, then use the real thing. Useful in weeding out the Hypochondriacs:D
1-Symbian isn't that bad, It well liked all over the world, it just didn't capture the american market, but functionally, it is quite solid.
2-Nokia is just about to release S^3, and seeing their official video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rER1fnBrJg ), and reading a few reviews, I think they are going to make quite a come back (whether it will be a case of "too little, too late" is yet to be seen). And S^4 following soon after, I think they have got that scene covered.
Also, they have Maemo/Meego as their high-end OS, which is reckoned as kick-ass by all and sundry.
3-Nokia is fully committed to going open source, especially since it open sourced Symbian and Qt and what not. And well...Microsoft and open source don't seem to go all that well, especially if we were to believe/. posters:D
4-Nokia just partnered with Yahoo, so it will be difficult to edge in using Windows-live.
I am not saying that Nokia and Microsoft can't partner up, I think they just did something together on the E-series (something regarding the email client or something), but working together to replace Windows7 and Symbian, and creating a "Win-bian" from scratch? Not likely. They have thrown too much R&D on either project too long to abandon it now.
To be fair, N-gage QD didn't have side-talking, had a nice small form factor and had a wide array of games, but still get picked up, since the original "N-gage" moniker had gathered so much bad publicity.
1-Um, you are the ones who gave us the money to create the god-damned idiots in the first place, and they were created to bug the soviets as you well know, not the Afghanis and the Indians... and now when we are asking your help to get rid of them, you are ignoring us, come on, don't you want these guys gone or not? they attacked you because you stopped the gravy-train, and now they are attacking us because we did too.
2-We do get get aid, but we don't get "billions". Trust me, the finance minister is crying our budget is shot because we didn't even get the last-dole out of the international aid or whatever.
3-Also, its not the money problem only, we want the tech to find the the bad guys in the first place.The bottom line is, the bad guys are out there (literally in my case) and since you guys are so pressurizing us to get rid of them, then help us. The recent govt. seems to be genuinely interested in getting rid of the menace.
4-No we don't cheer in glee, because we have more attacks then them. We get even more paranoid.
Um, troll? I am being deadly serious here.
Read the news please, our president recently attempted to (and failed) to get drone tech from you guys, but you wouldn't share. Come on, if you want to defeat them, then please help us, instead of ignoring us.
The problem is, unlike you lucky folks with you spy satellites, we have to rely on such open techs as Google Earth. If only you guys would share the info and the tech with us.
Instead, your military insists it wants to hunt the terrorist itself in our territory, which seeing your track record, we simply cannot allow.
And the terrorist roam free as a result, blowing bombs with impunity, at least once a week.
It isn't? My father once imported a car from Japan (a Nissan '87), and it had a (rather cute) chime that went off after 100km/h. Later on, we had a Toyota, and that too had a chime (that one sounded horrendous), which off after 120km/h. I have noticed that chime in other Japanese model too. I think it comes standard with all Japanese cars, atleast.
An ID card scheme here in Pakistan since, I guess, the 70's. My father has had three different NIC over the time, the current being a "Computerised" NIC that is linked to the "NAtional Database and Registration Authority"(NADRA). And that in turn links to everything.
For example, if I need to buy a mobile SIM, get into an institute or handle any sort of official paperwork, I need my CNIC.

You have hit the nail on the head.

There is one coming soon, Engadget just did a review: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/
Meego 1.5 feels very nice and snappy on that 1.5GHZ tablet.
Also, in separate articles they said Asus and Acer were warming up to Meego.
Still in beta, I see...

Would you have preferred "HP Shippuuden"?
Surely, you mean 22nd July, there is no way those silly Americans can fub that ;-)

Q: How Can I Contribute To Open Source? :)

That they will not be on the Shiva B-vaccine list. That should make all "skeptics" fall in line. :)
With a four digit UID? I don't think so.
The closest we have to that concept is perhaps the Hat-trick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat-trick#Cricket
