You are right, China is spying on the USA. I think we should be doing more to prevent it. I don't think the USA is above it. In fact, I think the USA should be doing more of it, particularly against China. I can put myself in someone elses shoes. If I were Chinese I would be applauding the Gov's efforts to end US bullying--though I most definitly wouldn't applaud their oppressive domestic policy. Just because they may have similar books in China doesn't make the point made in this one any less valid.
The book may be propaganda, but it isn't untruthful; China is rapidly increasing their nuclear arsenal, and they are doing so mostly through information stolen from the USA. It's great that we spy on China. What is not great is the way the Clinton camp downplays the significance Chinese spying.

I'm doing nothing wrong, and I still don't want people reading my email. Why? Because (in this country at least) it is my right. People who give up freedom for protection from the "bad guys" are pathetic.
On the CNN page, if you select california in the little pull down menue, and go to the stat page it shows bush as having 49% of the vote in that state. Why is it then, that the networks, in their rush to get the "first post" of election results, say that Gore takes the state?
" I think that US is one of the most self-centric countries in the world and you should definitely start to look out of your borders. The world does not end there. "
I think we look outside our borders more than any other country in the fucking world. Think about it. The US keeps tabs on pretty much every country in the world. When people start killing each other, who steps in? I will give you that we usually will do the "stepping in" only when there is some US profit to be made. They may call them "humanitarian" and "peace keeping" but I in most cases there are other reasons (oil in the mideast) providing 99.9% of the motivation. My point is, regardless of the fact that our motivation is self interest, the US pays pretty damn good attention to goings on outside of our borders.
It crashes far less often, and although many see this as a bad thing, it is integrated into my operating system (win 2000) very well. All of my explorer windows show the IE links bar. I can be browsing files on my drive, click on one of the link buttons, and poof, the window turns into IE and opens up the requested link.

Use a geometric series to represent 0.99999999999999999999... we get: 0.9999999...=9*1/10 + 9*1/100 + 9*1/1000 +...= 9*(1/10 + 1/100 + 1/1000 +...)= 9*(1+1/10+1/100+...)-9 = 9*(Sum_{i=1}^infty (1/10)^i)-9 It is a well known fact (see http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GeometricSeries.html) that a geometric series converges to 1/(1-r) where r is the ratio of the nth to the (n-1)th terms and r is between zero and 1. (Sum_{i=1}^infty (1/10)^i) is such a series, and so it converges to 1/(1-1/10). This gives us the following .99999...=9*1/10 + 9*1/100 + 9*1/1000 +...= 9*(1/10+1/100+1/1000...)= 9*(1+1/10+1/100+ ...)-9= 9*(Sum_{i=1}^infty (1/10)^i)-9= 9*(1/(1-1/10))-9= 9*10/9 - 9 = 9*10 - 9 = 1 qed beotch
Mario party has a bunch of little "subgames" inside. One of these is won by rotating the joystick as fast as possible. Players quickly learn that the fastest way to rotate the joystick is with the palm of the hand. Pressing the joystick into the palm of the hand and feverishly rotating causes the blister.

This was all the rage on the hardware site message boards (anandtech etc.) well over 1.5 years ago.

.99999...=9*1/10 + 9*1/100 + 9*1/1000 +...=+ ...)-9=
we get:
0.9999999...=9*1/10 + 9*1/100 + 9*1/1000 +...=
9*(1/10 + 1/100 + 1/1000 +

9*(Sum_{i=1}^infty (1/10)^i)-9
It is a well known fact (see http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GeometricSeries.html
(Sum_{i=1}^infty (1/10)^i) is such a series, and so it converges to 1/(1-1/10). This gives us the following
9*(1/10+1/100+1/1000...)=
9*(1+1/10+1/100
9*(Sum_{i=1}^infty (1/10)^i)-9=
