Do any American troops ever consider the fact that people might be LIVING in that regions after the war ends?
(That is what you are fighting for, isn't it, the right to live?)
This is one of the reasons the US is not welcomed with open arms when they're coming to liberate a country.
Ya, it's a good thing the U.S. civil war didn't take place nowadays.
Well, at least NASA started negotiating with Japan now, in 2008, as it often takes a year of unofficial negotiation before official negotiation occurs. How about an analogy?

If NASA and Jaxa were two school chums and NASA wanted to borrow Jaxa's car for the weekend, Jaxa would have to consult with every person he's ever met in his life and all of their immediate relatives, carefully weighing the effects of loaning his car on each individual. After considering everyone's opinions, Jaxa would then RECONSULT each individual again and let him know of the other's thoughts. This would occur roughly ~50 times. Only then would Jaxa talk to NASA again, most likely to ask a simple question like, "So what time do you need it on Friday?"
Truly talented people should eventually feel the onus of working for someone else's company and branch off to do their own things. Inevitably a God-gifted talent is going to have some crazy and genius ideas that do NOT fit the corporate mold and whose superiors will be uncomfortable with such ideas and whose potential they will not be able to see. And such people will get out.
For instance, ignoring the dubious notion of 'morality', how many projects have the top Google guys stifled because they were 'evil' or didn't see their potential? Sometimes you just want to make evil.
Thus, I'd argue that perhaps it's not truly a mass-exodus from Google TO Microsoft or Amazon, but just seems that way because of the constant influx of new hires to feed the beasts. Many of the top talents go to start-ups or back to school, or in some cases out of the comp. sci. world entirely.
The whole problem with stealing money is that it's rarely NOT economical for the robbed to come after you.
It's not like you can steal a million dollars from a corporation that has hundreds of millions and they're not going to have the resources to track you down, cut you up, and feed your fun parts to the gimp.
Having an absolute threshold for 'obesity' based solely on a person's waistline shows a serious misunderstanding of the causes and signs of obesity, and also seems a great way to alienate the populous.
First of all, having a 'max waistline' without consideration of a person's natural height, width, and bone structure nor body type (exomorphic, endomorphic, mesomorphic) is misinformed. For example, with a max waistline of 33.5", the man with a naturally 26" waistline is gonna be able to pig out while the naturally 32" waistline man is not going to have much room to breathe. And what about the fat kids? Are the roly-poly youngsters getting off the hook until they hit 33.5", too?
Not that changing the obesity testing methods would be any better, the most effective method would be to address the causes of obesity. For adult male workers in Japan, there's not enough leisure time, there is no CONCEPT of fitness as part of the Japanese lifestyle, most of the food is deep fried or else smothered in oil, the whole damn city of Tokyo reeks of cigarette smoke.
All that said, according to nationmaster.com, 30.6% of Americans are obese while 3.2% of Japanese are obese. Our population is TEN TIMES AS FAT as Japan's. That's disgusting, America. When out trolling for some babes, we've got ten times as many fat chicks!!! Shit, get me on the next plane to Japan~
I haven't checked my facts on this, but last I recall there wasn't really a 3G network in the United States. Yes, Apple and ATT are taking you for a ride, but do keep in mind that some of that goes to development and infrastructure.
Here's an interesting statistic. This is for all students who took the GRE between 1998-2001.
To get a scaled score of 800/800 on the Quantitative (math) section, you needed to be in at least the 94th percentile.
To get a scaled score of even 730/800 on the Verbal Section, you needed to be in the 99th percentile.
Of course, the data could be biased (perhaps more science and math majors took the GRE than liberal arts majors? perhaps engineers suck far more verbally than our liberal artists suck at math?), but even so it shows the GRE math section doesn't do much to challenge and separate the brightest minds.

You could always use wired headsets, too.
