Wow, dropping an h in written language. I haven't seen that before.
And any country on Earth could take a US embassy if the defenders of the embassy decide not to use lethal force against the aggressors. It's hardly humiliating or embarassing that the US didn't machine gun unarmed students. Of course reverse the circumstances and it won't turn out the same way - again not something the US is or should be ashamed of.
Really? There was a time when the US made essentially everything. And did it cheaply and with good quality.
Of course essentially every factory in Germany had been blown up in a little thing called WW2 shortly before that - and a similar thing with most other manufacturing centers outside the US.
Post the 1960s is a whole different story of course.
So what? The claim was the population density of the US was lower than than of Sweden - something which is plain old false.
And even so, why then does NYC not have that super fast and cheap broadband - given it has a far higher population density than the southern Provinces of Sweden.
What about the state of NJ? 90% of the population of Sweden in 5% of the area. Oh NJ has cities with above average population density too.
Do you just make stuff up for fun? When I was in school I was taught that 20* is less than 33**, did that change?
But even if that was the issue, then the midwest is irrelevant. Why does, say, New York City with a population similar to that of Sweden, but a population density three orders of magnitude higher not have cheap broadband like all the places that do apparently because "the have high population density"?
Except that they screwed it up so mightily that they mightn't survive as company to make the transition.
Sure stock price isn't everything but seeing it plunge from $300 to $70 in a few months isn't exactly reassuring. And of course the "we are going to lose money" isn't a great sign.
I'm pretty sure people other than the politician (you know their staff) are the ones who organize the robocalling in the first place. So that seems fair enough.
never fail, right? Surprise, surprise so do ones that are outsourced overseas.
If you are a startup for whom some piece of software is a code component of your business then outsourcing - whether in country or out of country - is stupid.
Sure outsource the development of components but do you really want your business to be built upon something you had created for you by some external coding team? What advantage are you going to have against a competitor who can use the very same external coding team?
You want a lead developer in house - someone who will understand your software. Someone who can actually provide realistic estimates of how much work changing something will be. Someone with some skin in the game.
Then you can outsource the development of components - now you have someone who can partition off the work and judge the quality of the results. You can get short term quality feedback, instead of having to wait until you are thousands of hours in to see if the work is any good.
No one's willing to give them a loan to see over the short term? Or does them being part of the government mean Congress has to OK such a thing (since it would be government debt)?
Why would anyone get defensive about such a stupid thing?
My work requires more personal computer power than that of a movie reviewer or heart surgeon , but less than that of someone designing fighter planes with CAE or a Java developer. Which says completely nothing about the relative importance of that work.
It can't be cited other than by checking every single scientific study in all of history and seeing that nonw of them proof that ADIS is caused by HIV.
it can be trivially disproved by showing the proof of course.
They are very rare though, and just because something that isn't influenza can cause flu like symptoms doesn't mean influenza doesn't cause the flu.
Essentially everyone with AIDS tests positive for HIV, and >99% of people without AIDS test negative for HIV.
2. The germ must be isolated from the host and grown in pure culture This is done routinely .
3. The germ must cause the disease when introduced into a susceptible healthy host. 4. The germ must be re-isolated from the infected host
Ethics prevent us from doing these steps for things we think will kill you.
However, there have been a few lab accidents in which workers have been infected with HIV (cultured HIV, not just say blood from an AIDS patient getting into their bloodstream, which would carry more than just HIV). All of them showed T-cell depletion. And HIV was then isolated from them and matched the one they had been infected with exactly.
Plus the dozens of health care workers who have contracted AIDS from mistakes with HIV+ blood/etc - clearly not as good as isolated HIV infection for showing it is HIV, but more volume.
2) Germany's standard of living is based on an export driven economy that essentially relies on the fact that first the mark and now the euro are way overvalued relative to the us dollar.
An overvalued currency harms exports - it makes your prices higher than those of places without overvalued currencies. (And nothing is overvalued relative to the US dollar - well OK, US treasuries but those are really just future US dollars anyway).
3) Germany has a declining population - if Germany was so great, why do they have a forecast net population decline? By contrast, the USA has a population that is growing the fastest out of any of the NATO nations.
So your logic has Ethiopia, Liberia, Somalia, etc. as being "greater" than the US? And Luxemburg and Turkey have faster growing populations than the USA so your facts are wrong too.
4) German corporations have a -lower- tax rate than American ones do. Oops, did I say that? Also, German laws are absolutely brutal for debt collection compared to American ones. If you, in America, blow off paying a loan bank, you get a bunch of angry letters and pissy phone calls and for the most part that's really all about they can do to you. In Germany, they can just come and start taking your shit away.
15% business tax + 15% corporate tax + 5.5% solidarity tax is much lower than a 15-35% federal + 0-12% state progressive scheme? That would depend entirely on which two locations in the countries you are comparing the income of the corporation. Pick a US corporation booking its income in a state with a 12% corporate income tax then sure, saner corporations not so much.
And having consequences for your actions is a bad thing now?
7) Speaking of taxed to the hilt, Germans are actually more in debt per capita than Americans are, and the American financial picture improves rather dramatically when the Bush tax cuts expire, and the budget sequesters kick in.
You ignore half the equation. Germany has more external assets than the US. if I owe $5,000 on my credit card but have $6,000 in my checking account I'm in better shape than the guy who only owes $4,000 on his credit card but has $3,500 in his checking account.
Subtract external debts from external assets and Germany is at +$1.2 trillion (USD) while the USA is at -$2.4 trillion (USD). Note that Japan, whom Americans who like to pretend debt doesn't matter love to cite, is at +$3.4 trillion (USD).

Of they could not be stupid and say "caused by an SHH Mutation".

Don't need an embassy to do that. And the methods aren't exactly secret anyway.
The last US embassy in Iran didn't turn out so great, so opening up shop tomorrow mightn't be such a wise move.
So what? The claim was the population density of the US was lower than than of Sweden - something which is plain old false.
And even so, why then does NYC not have that super fast and cheap broadband - given it has a far higher population density than the southern Provinces of Sweden.
What about the state of NJ? 90% of the population of Sweden in 5% of the area. Oh NJ has cities with above average population density too.
So low density makes it too expensive. And high density makes it too expensive. And yet lots of other places manage it just fine.
Do you just make stuff up for fun? When I was in school I was taught that 20* is less than 33**, did that change?

In other words made up bullshit, with no cohesive theory tying it all together. So made up data is the least of their concerns...

Um, what about Android?
Or, google.com - you know that search engine some people use?
No one's willing to give them a loan to see over the short term? Or does them being part of the government mean Congress has to OK such a thing (since it would be government debt)?

Sure there is. When negatives are thrown in at the end that negate the absurd positives then you can be pretty sure it is sarcasm.
They're half way there then.
So they should see a huge expense plummet in 5 years and all will be fine.
Now just forget about it and hope no one hacks them before they forget about you.
Uranium does this too (over ever so slightly larger time scales...) - it is not an element?
It can't be cited other than by checking every single scientific study in all of history and seeing that nonw of them proof that ADIS is caused by HIV.

For that we basically have Koch's Postulates.
1. The germ must be found in every host with the disease
There have been cases of of AIDS like symptoms without HIV:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8093633
They are very rare though, and just because something that isn't influenza can cause flu like symptoms doesn't mean influenza doesn't cause the flu.
Essentially everyone with AIDS tests positive for HIV, and >99% of people without AIDS test negative for HIV.

3. The germ must cause the disease when introduced into a susceptible healthy host.

So you don't know what "professional capacity" means then. There's no need to advertise your ignorance and then just make stuff up.
Hint: your quote even references where that very specific term is defined, but of course you didn't bother looking it up.

Of course it will do a damn thing. It'll make the bottom end of that 80% significantly better off than they are now.
No.
The idea is to see if they do. And if they do to see what bad things happen that don't outright kill them.
Both things we'd rather try out on worms before we try it on people.
