Umm... and that country to the north of the U.S.A., you know, the really, really big one? Coloured pink on the old maps?
Sorry, I'm Canadian, we don't like to complain, but it hurts our feelings being fogotten all the time.
Not defending Pol Pot. He was trying to return Cambodia to an agrarian based economy, and was a brutal (maybe psychotic) dictator. This really doesn't have anything to do with the basic tenent of "From each according to their ability, to each occording to their need."
If you study scripture at all, JC was pretty close to a Commie. Definitely a Socialist.
Finally, someone who realises that "Communism" has the same root as "community". Like Socialism is related to Society. And just to repeat myself from an earlier thread "Communism has not been tried and failed: Communism has not been tried."
Stalin, Lenin, Mao, even Trotsky were at best egomaniacal political hacks, but that should not discredit Marx and Engles.
Names don't mean anything by themselves. I work for a certain high tech company, in support, and we have people from 5 continents on my floor. There are more accents than skin tones. We are in Ontario.
So, the moon has more than HALF the water in the Great Lakes? The US only owns half of those bodies of water, the other half belonging to another sovereign nation (which is technically bigger).
!#(* Mars! Long before we drop ourselves into another giant gravity weel we need to open up High Earth Orbit manufacturing, and maybe a moonbase. Drop a couple of NiFe and H2O asteroids into orbit for materials and use solar reflectors for power/smelting.
This idea has been around for in SF decades, and is still way better science than landing on another large rock.
Yes, but it was not a one-off, the show is still being produced, and the character continues not to evolve to this day. Therefor he CAN be considered as "in the last 20 years"
basically, as it collapses into a black hole, it emits a beam perdendicular to the axis of spin. a wiki article goes into more detail here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_ray_burst
unless it sends out a Gama ray burst as an effect of magnetic constriction. As I understand it, tyhat would produce a beam of extremely nasty crap, directional, and that could reach well beyond a 25YL limit.
as per: http://scienceblogs.com/loom/2008/06/02/a_new_step_in_evolution.php - evolution has been seen to occur, and we even have every-500th-generation snapshots. This made a wava about a year ago, then went kinda quiet. In brief, a bateria was exposed to a mild poison (a citrate), and over 44,000 generations, mutated into a form able to metabolize it. Evolution in action.
When since the death of Mao and the rise of the "Gang of Seven" has anyone thought China was Communist? That is like calling the old Soviet Empire a Communist state. They are a totalitarian dictatorship. Just 'cause they call themselves commies, that doesn't mean they are.
To quote I-don't-remember-who (maybe Hunter Thompson?) "Communism has not been tried and failed, Communism has not been tried."
A casnticle for Liebowitz
1984
The Chrysalids
Brave New World
A Clockwork Orange
Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep
Stand On Zanzibar, and
The Sheep Look Up
Also consider Frankenstein and The Handmaids Tale (although Ms. Atwoood will maintain that this one is NOT SF, I think she is just trying to stay out of the Ghetto)
All of the above deal with your Socio/political criteria, and a couple (Sheep Look Up and Zanzibar) are directly environmental tales.
For a bit of fun, you might throw in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress as R. H. deals well with the citizens responsability to revolt when the Gov. is irresposible.
The biggest risk today is not The Bomb, it's irrational players.
Some would argue that WWIII began with the invasions of Iraq and Afganistan. Multinational forces invading an "Axis of Evil", hmmmm.... even re-cycling the "AXIS" moniker....
Even the ex-pres. said that this would be a "global war".
Just a thought.
If your BlackBerry Smart phone is connected to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, and you use the BlackBerry Browser (as opposed to Internet Browser or whichever browser your carrier supplies in their software package), then all off your requests pass through the server, instead of "directly" to the 'net over your carrier - as a result, you share whatever filters/protections IT has put in place on the server.
If you are BES connected, then you get whatever spam/phishing protection is enabled in your email client at work.

the classic definition is "from each according to thier ability, to each according to thier need"

Anyone else rminded of http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/07/30/0337232 ? Is there anyone out there in Security who actual keeps data secure? Or should we just give them all red shirts?
Hence, WWIII has not happened yet.

try standby mode instead of lock (it's the little button up on top of the 'phone).
