Just goes to show the value of free access to encrypted Blackberry communication, whether in Egypt, or in Dubai, India, China, or even the US and Canada. There should be concessions to governments on that front.
While not addressing your other points, in the case of the dentist business owning more than it can generate, can't (or won't) the note holders go after the dentist himself? They will attempt to show that the corporation was nothing more than a front for one man to do business, and as such, personal assets of the proprietor(s) should be on the able.
Whether that's a good thing is debatable, but isn't that what creditors would want to do?

You never know you're in a mania while it's still on.

So you have a graph showing.8 degree C variation. And the temps are being recorded from surface stations, which over the course of industrialization are now located in cities and yards from air conditioning fans?
A lot of the current hoopla among PHBs is over social networking.
I have a little trouble understanding how being able to integrate the ubiquitous Facebook "Like" button (an simple IFRAME or Javascript call) or being able to set up Add to Any for social bookmarks means you're trained in an entirely new kind of "technology" which more experienced devs have no chance of even understanding.
Maybe the much-awaited Linux surge isn't going to be in desktops but on mobile devices. Increasingly, people have become resigned to the fact that their portable computing devices aren't going to (and don't have to) look like the PC at work.
Android and Meego (when it finally ships) are harbingers of the trend.

software engineer!
>Seriously, WHY do so many sites default to a 5 point font size?
This. The old idea was to set font size to 100% and let the user set their font size (for 100%) to whatever they like.
Blame the artsy-fartsy crowd that doesn't get their pixel-perfect "magazine layout" without micro font sizes.
Oh, and moderate seems to work, too. (Select moderation, and click the moderate button at the bottom of the page.)
Yeah, but it works without Javascript, doesn't it?
I always browse (Slashdot) without Javascript, and I'm replying without it either. Is there anything else that's not working in this release?
Actually, I could get used to just the look of it.
But make the fixed "taskbar" on top go away. Just let it scroll up with the rest of the page.
Sure, they shouldn't mind, since they have nothing to hide, of course.
You seem to quite informed on the issues.

Automated Payment Tax of .3% on every bank/financial transaction. No other taxes.
I saw it originally on Slashdot, and it's an interesting concept.

And how successful would they be (anybody know)?

A Drupal site doesn't have to look like anything in particular (especially a stock Drupal site with a blue theme and "Drupal devil" icon).
Here's
a newspaper: http://observer.com/
a magazine site: http://www.economist.com/
a discussion site: http://dailypaul.com/
a parody site: http://www.theonion.com/
And some more: 45 Drupal Sites Which You May Not Have Known Were Drupal Based
Is there any significance to the fact that Google chose IETF instead of ISO (where MPEG-LA and M$ submitted H.264 and OOXML)?
Wasn't there another way to destroy the data?
(Taking it out to a field and sledgehammering it?)
US Government denies Halliburton bias in mandating no-bid KBR contracts.
Lol! Somebody mod this up.
Thanks for the laugh, and I'll remember this for the next April Fool's Day.

China has the advantage of being much larger than either the US or Japan. They can afford to just throw things on the wall to see what sticks.
An educated population of a half billion (not there yet), with geniuses being 1 in 100k, that's 5000 geniuses to fuel innovation.
Well, just their domestic market is going to be huge.
And London might not buy Chinese for a 10% discount, but Bolivia, Indonesia, and Vanuatu might.
>I'd toss in a charge of treason as well
Wha??
The US isn't at war with China.

Just a note for anyone else who's tempted: Don't talk about Usenet or Fight Club either.

Is this simple enough to be appropriate for a home/family server? As opposed to LTSP?
And what kind of resources are required on the server per client?
QEMU? Isn't that excruciatingly slow?
