Canada is one of your closest allies. If we're cutting off your oil, you've already burned all of your bridges. The rest of the world would be just waiting for you to start WWIII.
The problem with a flat sales tax is the rich can afford to not spend all of their income. Hell, some make more off the interest on their investments than they know what to do with. They get richer and richer. If you're not printing money, that means someone else is getting poorer.

Most people have no idea who HTC is. Then they see the commercial. Now they have at least heard of HTC, which is better than nothing. That's building brand recognition. The first commercial is just "HTC has the phone for you!", which lodges the name "HTC" into your head. The second commercial goes into what a smart phone is. The third goes into what separates an HTC from other phones. We don't see any of this because we already know all of that. This campaign is aimed at people who are just going to buy a phone. They bring HTC into consideration instead of a "never heard of them."
I have an idea to combat this: Instead of clicking next or yes or ok there's a grid of buttons and you have to actually read the instructions to click the right one. If you just keep mashing next you get goatse'd.
The Tokai Nuclear Power Plant experienced almost exactly the same conditions a Fukushima, but was only mildly affected. It has resumed operation. The difference is that the national Japan Atomic Power Company which runs the Tokai plant headed warnings that the dikes around the plants were not high enough, and extended them by 1.2 metres. The private Tokyo Electric Power Company which ran the Fukushima pant did not.
I'm not a US American and I've never heard of the Jobs Bill before, but I grep that the republican party is threatening a filibuster. Basically one person can stick their fingers in their ears and say "La la la I'm not listening" until the bill is amended with enough bribery, everyone just gives up or a 3/5ths super majority tells him to STFU and vote. Don't you just love politics?
No one's complaining "we have no rights." GP's points are that some US Americans are all to quick to label anyone other than themselves as "socialist" or "communist" and that many of those "communist" countries wouldn't be so quick to throw away their rights.
The Soyuz rocket lifts both the Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. Progress is basically a Soyuz with the reentry capsule replaced with fuel tanks to refuel the space station it's resupplying.
The ShenWei page on Wikipedia says 140Gflops at 1.1Ghz over 16 cores, or 8flopc. That implies single precisions on a 256 bit vector FPU like the Loongson's
The revisions after Steve joined amounted to adding the SCC, doubling the RAM and condensing the random logic down to PALs. Jobs had absolutely nothing to do with that. It's true that the Mac didn't turn out anything like Jef Raskin envisioned, it would have been interesting to see what he would have built. Bill Atkinson and Burrel Smith built the hardware and the software respectively. I think Steve Jobs' contribution was less obvious: he was the sheer force of will behind the Mac. His "reality distortion field" convinced everyone that they could change the face of computing. There was no one "father of the Macintosh", there were dozens of people responsible for it's creation. They deserve credit too.

Honest, not stupid.
FedEx != USPS
It's not like the USA just magically ends up spending more on the military than the next twenty nations combined.

Yes! Where do we sign!?
Take the title, remove common words "an" and "with."
Oh shit, I just remembered! Google only gives the first 10 search results and the rest are lost forever!
Well, I think you're worthless. If it were up to me, I'd dump you in a hole and leave you to die.
Eh, I'll take what I can get. Enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy and all that.
He's posting on Slashdot. It's assumed he knows how to search.
I just fucking Googled it. Last result on the first page nails it.

Wait a sec... where did I get that JAPC was nationally owned?

Hmmmmm... the quality of petitions seems to have plummeted... "take us seriously" is just behind "admit aliens exist."

Ok, how about this? People try marijuana and think "hey, this isn't so bad, and the gov says it's worse than crack!

You're right, tobacco companies should be allowed to print whatever they want on their products. New Marlboro cigarettes! They cure asthma!
