I know that you really hate Corporate America and the Republican Party and think they're the root of all evil
"key players" is not an answer. Name them. Republican Party was just an example. Also that is bullshit to extrapolate "hate corporate america" out of a post. That is an ad hominem attack. Why would I hate corporate America? I work for it. I was asking a question. You did not answer it.
Indeed, it is a valuable question to wonder why the United States, rhetorically a country that supports "freedom," would view freedom-crushing, wicked regimes such as China and Saudi Arabia as "strategic partners." The answer can be summed up in one concept: interests.
Yeah but who's interests? Corporate America's? The Republican Parties? Who's interests are being helped by the USA trade inbalance with China?
Meanwhile, China and India will have become what America was 40 years ago -- the Big Cheese, but *too* successful. Fat on money and industry, with those pesky (educated) workers demanding high falutin' things like medicare, wages, retirement packages, etc.
Except 40 years ago in the USA you could vote, in China you can only vote for members of the Chinese Communist Party.
My Static DSL IP address is on a spammers blacklist. I have no open relays, and I use a firewall and have fought hard against spammers since spam first started. The last is what particularly irks me: becoming a victim of anti-spam activities even though I have never spammed and are sick of spam myself and having spent hours and hours trying to stop spammers. I have tried to contact the blacklist owners many times - they ignore me. I have contemplated suing but the cost is prohibitive.
What you and others fail to grasp is that computers are evolving rapidly, human brains aren't. Our current computers are still far from having the data processing capability of a human brain.
Mathematical work is generally a product of Human intuition. How much intuition does a computer have?
Edgar Cayce once said that Dayton, Ohio was the center of the universe. Maybe it was at one time. It was the home of 5 fortune 500 companies, it was the home of the (generally accepted) inventors of the first powered flight machine called the aeroplane. It was important to the computer industry - NCR is still here and U.S. Navy Bombe used in code breaking was built here. But the automobile which was very connected to Dayton Ohio through General Motors and its divisions helped depopulate the city. The surrounding county is doing fairly well however. Montgomery county which contains Dayton, Ohio has a population of 550,000. Dayton, Ohio has a population of 166,000. Dayton proper used to have a population over 200,000.
Do most low end motherboards handle parity or error correction in memory? I think they just break. I know that higher end computers generally do handle it.
Can you imagine if your DRAM had a few bad memory addresses? I am purchasing over 20 256MB DDR chips for my work and expect all 2,147,483,468 bits to work properly.
I am not sure I want a president who says this: "I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things."
This is hardly a unbiased group. They all are joining together to fight Linux. Not that they like each other. Solaris 10 have more functionality than Linux? That's a laugh. Why is Sun borrowing ideas from Open Source and Linux?
Go to an AA meeting and tell them that. I don't know where you get this misinformation. Alcohol is an highly addictive drug. Like Heroin. It is not a "moral" problem it is an additive drug. How can a "problem that a person chooses not to deal with" be an inherited trait?
That is a generalization I can disagree with. Alcohol addiction is not a "symptom". It is a chemical imbalance. It is being unable to process alcohol. It is an inherited thing. The word addiction might be over used but it is appropriate when applied to alcohol.
That may not be the intent but could the law really be applied in that manner if they so chose? The law should be clearly written so that there is no ambiguity about it. Vague laws are dangerous.
I really meant this as a joke. Where is my Funny rating? jeez. Portable flywheels might be good for buses but not for moving power around. Even wires are better then that. What we really need is diversified, distributed power systems. Not power distribution systems.
coal, biogas, biodiesel, passive solar, solar, wind, water, tidal, wood, dinosaur oil, maybe even a little nuclear. Room for everyone. Trouble is the big companies don't like that.
We should move the electricity around with portable flywheels. Maybe they could be made to fit on the back of tractor trailers and driven to locations that most need the electricity. You could have power specific flywheels: DC versions, 60 Cycle versions and European 50 Cycle flywheels. Even 400 cycle versions for airplanes.

I agree with you. But not in the forseeable future.
Quantum computers will not even help. The state of the art in computer algorithms is to primitive.

Although, I hear the last two presidents have been stoned already.
No, one of them did'nt inhale.
I am not sure I want a president who says this:
"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things."
or this:
"I'm the master of low expectations."
I have this steadycam and it works very well for me.
Next time try thinking before posting.
Perhaps you could do the same.
Only the treads that are touching the ground should
move. The others moving in air are wasted motion. That does not seem efficient.
That probably not trademarked.

Addictions are merely symptoms of problems

Been there done that. Still there in fact.
Sorry misspelled the great state of Kentucky.
Degraded honour. What value is it to give this to a businessman.
Is he serving people? Is he even working for Great Britian. What a sham.
