the one browser that should make the best use of multiple cores (Chrome)
Since you said "should", I have to say that other browsers should also be able to do that using multi-threading, assuming your reason is because of Chrome's multi-process approach.
What insult? Is that because I said "is this just a way for the British to flatter themselves?" I wouldn't go to a brit and say just that. This is a philosophical discussion.
The only British people I've seen are on TV or movies. So I don't really know the honesty of them. But I would indeed question what's an innate sense, and whether honesty is one of the universal values?
IMO, Liu deserves neither the prize nor to be in jail.
At the junctures of many Chinese revolutions there are leaders of great emotional appeals. Is that bad? No. But it might be a distraction from the real message.
So exactly what's his vision for a more democratic China? I think his vision is more of a critical one than a constructive version. Here's a quote from wikipedia:
In a 1988 interview with Hong Kong's Liberation Monthly (now known as Open Magazine), Liu was asked what it would take for China to realize a true historical transformation. He replied in this way: "(It would take) 300 years of colonialism. In 100 years of colonialism, Hong Kong has changed to what we see today. With China being so big, of course it would take 300 years of colonialism for it to be able to transform into how Hong Kong is today. I have my doubts as to whether 300 years would be enough."[63] Liu admitted in 2006 that the response was extemporaneous, although he did not intend to take it back.
I don't think Liu has the ability to lead a democracy movement. Unfortunately he has been in such a position. I could be wrong in believing that the Chinese government would start political reform on its own, but it's obvious to me political confrontations are making things worse for reforms.
Thanks for the link. The punch line of the article is quite interesting:
what we can expect Wen to achieve, at most, is to go down in history as a solitary voice that not only “challenged” conservative forces, but got away with it. - Taipei Times.
No saying I agree with him being "solitary", but isn't that worth a peace prize?
because the British were at least capable of being ethical
I've seen this kind of idea before in The English Traits. It says the English is capable of being honest while the French isn't. The reason, it says, has something to do with the language. English make one more honest while using French is inherently equivalent to lying due to features of the French language.
Since I have learned English myself and in the process read a lot in English, I did notice there are many writings that enforce the idea that honesty is the best policy. Is that what some think "the British were at least capable of being ethical"?" Or is this just a way for the British to flatter themselves?
Personally of course I don't think a language is at fault. It's all about how an individual's intellectual ability is developed. And I wouldn't judge a person only by their nationality.
We no longer have the ability to take the moral high ground with China because of our huge economic ties to them. Not because we don't have the desire to at all.
No, any one should have the ability to take the moral high ground in the face of wrongdoings. China's political system IS probably on the wrong side of the moral high ground. The west knows that but it's unclear exactly what the west wants to do about it.
Why does the mainland Chinese government get better treatment from the "free world" than any other petty dictatorship?
Let's take a look at the treatments of China, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq of Saddam Hussein. I'd say they were doled out very appropriately, according to the New World Order printed on the US dollar.
The Chinese are obviously eying the vast and largely untapped resources of Siberia and it's hard to look at the recent large number of Chinese migrants to that area as anything other than a colonization effort.
You are probably not following recent news between China and Russia. Their relationship hasn't been this good since ever, thanks largely to their common rivals. China is not eye the north. You got the wrong direction.
During the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident, Wen Jiabao and Liu Xiaobo were actually on the same side of reformists. In the famous photo where the later imprisoned communist leader Zhao Ziyang went to the square and talked to students, Wen was at his side. Interestingly, Wen not only didn't lose his power, but has since become a prominent figure among world leaders.
I believe Wen is still part of the faction within the party that favors political reform. A few yeas ago in an official meeting, Wen said "to talk is not a crime". And it caused quite a stir in the media. In a recent CNN interview, Wen also seemed to hint political reforms.
However on the economical front, (or on the matter of rare earth - Wen is a geologist), Wen is China's leader for battling other powers. Yes, there is global ecomonial battle going on right now. For some, it is really convenient to demonize China so that everything that China does is as evil as throwing a dissident into jail. If you are one of those who was hoping Wen's achievements would help him win supporters for reform, you might want to give the prize to Wen, who I think actually deserves it more.
To pretend US checkpoints are worse is to be intellectually dishonest.
I have always been puzzled by the practice of demonizing your enemy, especially by people who seem to appreciate intellectual honest.I don't know about the checkpoints, so allow to me use another example. North Korea has always been demonized as a crazy guy who could blow up at any time, but it turns out the US had(or has) considered nuking them several times and the US even said talks about the nuke options had an actual effect. Why don't we, people who appreciate intellectual honest, just state the facts without the often abused practice of demonizing?
If you are really Chinese, you should know China has a worse reputation than it deserves here in America. As a Chinese, you might want to improve China's image by posting informatively and insight-fully, but not to incite hatred by making derogatory comments. But If you are not really Chinese, well, you've achieved your agenda.
Oh, in case you missed it in the Wiki article, the Chinese gave names to the islands first. And the Japanese name for the main island, Uotsuri Jima, has the same meaning as the Chinese name. It's not China getting more aggressive, but Japan can no longer bully China. Get over it.
I think there has to be international treaties between neighboring countries to settle disputes. Until then lets just call each others' evidence miracles.
The Japanese don't allow anyone to enter territory waters of the islands, even though they only have administrative rights, meaning they can't arrest anyone simple for entering the waters. So they create crimes by positioning a boat in front of any vessel that is navigating towards the island.
Recently the Chinese fishery authority sent two boats to circle the island and played this cat'n mouse game with 6 Japanese boats. From the articles I read, it was very funny.
Since the Japanese only have administrative rights over the islands, it's aggressive for them to say there is no disputes, hmmm, got to go.

The replacement of 5870 will be the 6900 series, not 6870. This is confusing as the x900 series used to be dual gpu cards, but this time it isn't.
If rare earth is everywhere, why does China have to mine it for everyone?

Are you implying everyone should use the same calender in the multi-universe?

Looks like it's time to patent how clever you can use MS Windows.
An OS is more like the blueprint for the weapons sold. Most countries sell weapons (often old versions) but most of time not the technology.
Simple reason: "Everybody wins" is not an option in real wars.

You seem to be quite assertive in using strong words as if this is a done deal. But anyone who can read can see what the disagreements are all about:
