It's not the technology that's the problem. As with anything it's lazy parenting and the technology being used to replace something a parent should be doing. With proper parenting, a child learning how to text will have a head start over his friends and not being a spoiled little twat.
Seeing how he is white in the picture, I'll assume his brown skin was in his briefcase and in that instance then yes, having brown skin is a serious crime.
He should have been mentioned to everyone in history class but as you say scientists don't get much press. Which is unfortunate it. It's no wonder kids don't value intelligence when intelligent people don't get much press and instead they're bombarded with how great it is to be a celeb or jock.
Will the Americans apologise to the Indians afterwards and what about the Iraqis? What about the French, Dutch and pretty much every other country that's not a 3rd world country?
In most instances that is true but sometimes improvements in some areas have knock on effects on other areas.
For instance my stereo receiver is older than me (from the early 70's), it's weighs about as much as a car and it's not necessarily pretty since it's got the old wood and silver design but it's nearly invincible and has outlasted newer components and will keep going
In some ways you could say it's inferior in other ways it's not. In general I would say there is a trend for manufacturers not to care as much about a unit having a long life and instead improve things by just adding in more features. Hardware with a long life helps create a used market and, like software publishers, they don't to compete against their own products being resold.
People thinking driving is a right and as such driving tests are easier to allow more or less anyone to drive. Computing licences and especially driving licences so should be much harder.
But the hardware companies, especially MS won't. Can you imagine MS allowing those using the competition's system with it's free internet service being allowed to play against paying subscribers? At worst the graphics on the PS3 and 360 are the same so Madden on he PS3 and 360 are effectively the same.
Why would anyone buy the system that makes you pay to get online with no web browser, charges through the roof for wifi, doesn't give you an HDMI cable, doesn't play both DVD and blu-ray movies, charges you for add-ons that are free on the PC and PS3 and charges you extortionate amounts for proprietary hard-drive add-ons?
There is no way in hell EA would have a chance at making 360 and PS3 games interoperable.
Black people would get more sympathay if it weren't a case of them wanting the best of both worlds like any other group.
While cracker and honky aren't as bad as nigger it is still offensive to people yet it is completely acceptablle to use it if it's no different than the jokes you complain about.
It's a double standard and as long as it exists there will be white people wanting to "balance" it out with black jokes.
Everyone would be better off if they realised all humans are biased against their own and grow a back bone.
Seriously, while it's a cool idea, it's not going to be deep enough, imo. It's basically group level. Even when you have a basement that goes into the ground it's not always that cool except for perhaps the floor but that's usually a good 10ft down.
While his point could have been expressed better the fact is the use of the word nigger is not always racist except for in the eyes of mentally retarded PC thugs.
Poland has a rising Asian population (Koreans I think) which are basically replacing the jobs that Poles used to do before running off to the UK. So actually the asian would make more sense as a foreigner than the black man even if blacks do exist in Poland as well.
If you're worried about getting caught having an affair then you have more to worry about then outdated satellite photos.
Anyone and everyone can already look at your house in person if they want. They can step onto you property as well without you ever knowing which would be more of a concern than someone in China accidentally see your house.
I'm aware of that sort of stuff. But there is also stuff in there about forgiveness, not being a twat about your religion and keeping it to yourself.
But as usual people pick and choose which bits they want to believe in and unfortunately it's usually the old testament that attracts the mentally handicapped.

Naturally the kid should be able to communicate on a certain level beforehand. That just goes without saying.
Giving a kid a phone and allowing them to text when they're not capable of communicating is just a sign of bad parenting because it makes no sense.

He was in the military and I don't think he did any sports. He just sat around in the nude in his spare time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leon_Benouville_The_Wrath_of_Achilles.jpg
Is driving drunk acceptable then if accident rates go down?

True.

Seriously, anything to keep the jack-off spackers off the net is a bonus.

Thanks for using the UK and the exchange rate to boost your profits, cunts.

I'm sure the reason they haven't done this all over Europe is because they're only popular in the UK so they feel they can get away with this.
It may not apply to all gypsies but if you've had to live near pikeys you'd realise it's more true than false.
This isn't because of how people treat them, they've just always been uneducated violent shitheads.

I didn't have to do anything special and Ubuntu works quite well on my EEE laptop. The battery life might be short but not by any noticeable amount.
No one reads the T&Cs so it doesn't count!
Get off the internet, gramps.
I think Rosemary looks better. Liskula isn't gonna age well, imo.

Both are quite old, the first one is probably from around the time of their US antitrust case.
I'm sure he doesn't sit at home throwing darts at Vista boxes but I suspect it is his least favourite company.

Do you really believe Ellison hates Microsoft?
When talking about MS you sometimes think he posts here.
