RE: "The enemy is "radical" Islam. They are not numerous, a few thousand out of many millions. The same enemy is here at home, and calls itself "Christian Identity". But the radicals have power in places like Afghanistan."
You are wrong. A complying enemy is the millions who have neither the intolerance nor the power to disengage their influence. Not an evil enemy that the few represent, but a craftable, redeemable enemy to us nonetheless.

What really disgusts me is the Americans who will profit from this tragedy.
Oil companies and their barons.
Currency traders.

As I view the news online, and read and get ready to post this, it dawns on me the ugly realization I am using Netscape.
Over and over again with the footage on tv.
My God.
Are you going to sue your satellite provider when solar flares occur?
Are you going to sue the state if there is a traffic jam and you can't get to work on time? That's a service I pay for too.
Shit happens. Deal with it. and stop bitching.

I worked at an outsourced OEM desktop provider of tech support solutions by e-mail.
If you were in a crunch and needed to do a certain number of emails to keep your job, you cherry-picked.
(1) Chose the easiest questions to answer.
or
(2) Chose the answer for which you had a pre-written response.
Control V +COntrol C is a godsend. Especially when you aren't responsible for what you don't answer.
This kid is a pretender. All you have to have running is a good text editor and some prefabricated scripts to send to people and you have FAQ lawyer. Sickening.
If people rate him high, don't wonder why you get seemingly non-answers when you describe an issue to your vendor.
Hey Hemos, Newscientist.com came out with another article. Feel like linking to it? Content initiated.
Just another lazy-ass topic by Hemos. Slashdot has fallen so far.
It's just like that radio show on PBS "Wait, wait, don't tell me." that pretends to be content but is really a rehash of Reuters "Oddly enough" news.
Go-ogle! an image search engine, huh?

It was mentioned to Stalin that we had a new super-weapon, and he acknowledged. He had no idea about this weapon. Think about it. If Truman didn't know until FDR kicked off, how would Stalin know?
that the buzz is that the synching is well-done. I have heard from many reputable people that the synching was done poorly and is actually the main rip on the movie.
People who pirate music are actually more likely to say that they would purchase that music if they liked it.
The fat guy I don't even know (was he in the band?) who went back for seconds and thirds for free cake at my wedding is likely to spend more money on unstolen food. He is also more likely to say that he would pay for it were it the expectation.
such as in nuclear power, which was not safe when it was explored and implemented.
Sometimes, economies of scale would not have benefitted us and we may have ended with a monopoly by AT&T or worse. Cell phones are rumored to be dangerous (though unproven), but they may have actually been so with early adoption.
Think of the chemical industry. DDT helped millions avoid starvation, but in the end proved unsafe because of early adoption. Consider Thalidomide. Thalidomide is now recently a useful drug in treating certain types of cancers but is given a bad stigma because early adoption led to absent safeguards for the general public, providing birth defects to countless children.
Who's gonna teach these aliens, especially the dumbass democratic-leaning ones, how to vote? And what if they become 'disenfranchised'-whatever that means?
When it comes down to two equal choices in my game of minesweeper, this thing is completely worthless.
Also, it will never validate the educational postulate that the famous philosopher Wesley Snipes offered in the critically acclaimed movie 'Passenger 57' that we should "Always bet on black."
