If you look at the global rankings, http://cpi.transparency.org/cpi2011/results/, Canada's politicians are rated higher than US ones, which means less corrupt, and therefore, more expensive.
In Uzbekistan they are really cheap, but what would you do with your bought politicians there?
Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, recognises the right to practice six religions in total: Islam, Protestant, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhism and Confucianism. Atheism is, however, illegal.
I'd go with Confucianism. If nobody can understand what he said, nobody can understand if you are practicing it or not.
If you live amongst a horde of unpredictable religious fanatics, it's best to keep your mouth shut.
You know, it's easy to just glaze over things like, "conversion from int to long," "unused variable," or "insulting and desecrating the principles of Islam." But it's better to fix them . . . it may save your life!
Perpetual good weather outside! I feel great, and work better!
I had to use a link to Slashdot, because Wikipedia Links are, like, so out, today.
Now my only problem is that I have to replace my broken windows often. Rocks get hurled through them, flaming Native American arrows get shot through them, and even I manage to damage them when plinking with great-great-granddaddy's 'ole Gatling.

Seriously, is maybe one hour a week a little to long to go without our life's electric information and communication traveling symbiotic companions?
What's God's twitter channel anyway, maybe I should listen in? Isn't Facebook problematic for Allah, because he doesn't like seeing pictures of himself and Mohammed?
So did he twit what he does with his harvested organs? Are they used for the stem cell fresh blood car washing therapy from yesterday?
Prior Art: Doesn't London have a park where any wing-nut can stand up on a soapbox and spew nonsensical non sequiturs to a gullible crowd, who would rather be assimilated than think for themselves?
I guess that really sums up the Internet today, actually.
Democratic? Hardly. I never voted for him, and neither did any Swede. But I guess in this case, one twit is as good as the next.
Obviously, IBM is giving them some financial incentive to do so. Maybe they have "frequent patent-er points" . . . with 100, you get a mainframe or a Rational license. It also means that IBM values patents highly enough, that they give employees time to spend researching and writing them. It would seem that IBM's patent business strategy is financially successful for them.
So any other company could do the same, and direct their employees to patent their work, or even ideas that haven't been implemented yet. It's just a business question if a company can make money off patents. This leads to the cranking out of questionably patentable ideas.
I know that advocating patent factories is not particularly popular on Slashdot. I must be nude here.
But it seems that, at the moment, it works well as a business model.
Why doesn't he rent the place and turn it into a publicity center for his pseudo-space flight program? You know, future passengers can sip champagne and chat and rub shoulders with other folks with too much money? Take a peek through a real telescope, that is looking at outer space!

If the answer is "no," then don't bother trying to learn computer programming.
No amount of education, expensive tools and technology will solve that problem that most humans have.

It she weren't a lawyer, we wouldn't even be speaking about it.
Is she weren't no lawyer, she wouldn't be able to afford one to litigate for her . . . or maybe she is litigating for herself . . .
. . . apparently, this process had already been started on the bridge of the ship before, during and after the accident . . .

Fix that for me, Samsung.
Interviewer: "So, Dr. Shiva, what are your responsibilities at Apple?"
Executive: "Well, as 'Director of Digital Destruction' at Apple . . . "
I'm surprised they didn't give it some schmaltzy name, like, "Re-birthing of New Education, for the Age of Aquarius Epoch" . . .
"Digital Destruction" is bound to get the attention of the DHS, TSA and their pals . . . "Hey, they're planning to destroy our Homeland Industry!"

Unfortunately, they won't notice it until things go "crash!"
And then claim that it was the car's fault.
Still, some users will always find a way to muck things up.

Now, what did we do to cause that? Maybe if we all just sit down and be still, the Earth's orbit will stop variating?
If the Earth's orbit is variating, it's because we did something bad, and we had better change our ways . . .
