Actually, it's illegal to insult the president in France also. Nobody else, just whoever the current President of France is.
The last "war for oil" was a series of minor battles running as a side-show to the WWII. Even the oil-starved Germany did not set Russia's oil-rich Caucasus as its main target.
To call our Iraq war "war for oil" and then call someone else "stupid" is a good illustration to that kettle-pot proverb, if you know, what I mean. Oil is not worth fighting for — US could've gotten Iraq's oil (and cheaply) by siply lifting the embargo — as France (among others) were suggesting.
But let's not change the subject, shall we? While continuously painting the US as a gloomy monster goose-stepping towards Fascism, France herself has seen prolonged racial riots and such new limits to freedoms, over merely suggesting which Bush would've been carried out of the office by his guards. Ha ha.
While looking for a car for my parents recently, we wanted the Bluetooth.
"Fully loaded" Nissan Versa was a very strong contender — it can memorize four different cellphones, announce calls coming on any of them, and wire the call through the car's audio — at the touch of a button on the steering wheel. We ended up with Honda Fit, because it was a whole foot shorter (parking space is very limited), but it was a hard choice, because Honda still does not offer the Bluetooth integration.
We are looking for an after-market solution now, but those are not as nice as the factory/dealer-installed one would've been.
(Versa also comes with CVT, so Honda would've lost for sure, if it weren't for their length.)
Wait a minute... Is not France, like, the only hope the humanity has to avoid the, caugh-caugh, Fascism of the "single-polar world", in which we all found ourselves after the USSR's (unfortunate, was not it?) collapse?
But hey, it's just the potential end of the world, so nothing much to worry about there.
Hey, it's only a government official asking for more funding for his agency...
Contrary to what people may think, the danger of getting hit by an asteroid has not increased over the past, uhmm, 5000 years. What increased is the frequency, with which the potential incident is mentioned in the media...
If the fee is high enough (say, $10 or even $50), you will want to bring the dead equipment for (partial) refund to a place, which will gladly process it (paid for by the rest of the fee).
Kind of like cans and bottles, except their meager 5c fee is not enough to encourage anyone to clean them up, not even the "poor" homeless...
Is there really any reason why government-funded research shouldn't be made available to the masses? After all, wasn't it the masses who paid for the research?
Those were American masses, who paid for the research. The talk is about making the information available to the masses world-wide.
The majority of them dislike America and Americans today (multi-polar world, et al.) — and some are actively hostile towards us. It may be nice of us to help them all out anyway, and it may even help improve our standing (don't count on it, though), but we don't owe it to anyone.
This is, probably, not enough to outweight the benefits, but is not anybody concerned about our sworn enemies using our scientific advances against us?
It seems pointless to seek ideas and feedback if you're going to ignore and delete the opinions you don't like.
It certainly is annoying to those, who posted the removed feedback, but it is not at all pointless for Dell to do so. They've received it and read it. They may remove it to make themselves look better (or try to, rather), or they may simply want to filter (what they perceive as garbage) out.
Their point may have've been to get ideas they would like — removing others may make sense.
Yeah, we know it's not just one. It's more like a billion and three.
I challenge you to name TWO Acts of Terror, for which Israel (not pre-Israel Zionists of 60 years ago) is responsible. FYI, "terrorism" is defined as: terrorism, act of terrorism, terrorist act -- (the calculated use of violence (or threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear)
There's plenty of blame to go around to all sides for the huge mess in the middle east.
You are equating the sides, which is a sign of a very short attention span... They are not equal, and — however elitist it sounds — Israel is far better. Inhumanely so...
Trying to access my account at Fidelity is also slow and with intermittent failures today and yesterday.
The "snowballing" is not in the prices moving too much up or down, but simply in the increased activity as a lot of people are trying to check their accounts and trade in and out of positions...
That said, you're assuming that they're also running a mail server on the same machine as the webserver. [...] I'm pretty sure your mail would bounce if no connection can be made to port 25.
As was explained before, when we were all worked up about the SiteFinder itself, the mere existence of a DNS record can be a decisive factor in a number of applications.
For example, an anti-spam filter can lookup the domain of the (alleged) sender to weed out some spams. Servers using SiteFinder's "DNS" would then validate bogus domains, because SiteFinder never said "NXDOMAIN"...
If the browser developers don't need the money, there are enough good causes to contribute to. Being a browser-only thing (unlike SiteFinder, which messed up DNS for all programs, including e-mail), this is not evil — so just do it!..
Mmm, I think Sitefinder only resolved/resolves A records, not MX records. Your mail would STILL bounce with NXDOMAIN, providing I'm right.
In the absence of an MX record e-mail gets delivered to the A record — MX records are optional. If none is found, the request is made for the A-record, and that gets used instead.
Don't worry, a conspiracy-uncovering documentary like this one will explain it all... Only the centralized planning (preferably, in the 5-year periods) can alleviate the so called "free market"'s constant failures and get the real innovations adopted without delay.

Really? Reminds me of Venezuella.
Yes, that France is not really a country of Law is well known... What I have not seen before, is anyone considering this to be an advantage...
Power of countries like
- Turkey — no laughing at us and our dear leaders;
- France — no Nazi-memorabilia sales; no non-journalist videos of violence;
- China — Democracy? What Democracy?

How do you know, you weren't talking lauder after firing?
You missed his/her first paragraph — about talking to each other calmly. Combatants don't do that — not with own side, not with the enemy.
Wait a minute... Is not France, like, the only hope the humanity has to avoid the, caugh-caugh, Fascism of the "single-polar world", in which we all found ourselves after the USSR's (unfortunate, was not it?) collapse?
Trolling? Maybe, but only a little...

Ok, so you've identified the line along which both the "above" and the "below" align. Now, which direction is "up"?
How do you tell above vs. below in the context?
If the fee is high enough (say, $10 or even $50), you will want to bring the dead equipment for (partial) refund to a place, which will gladly process it (paid for by the rest of the fee).

They already do that, but they want more...

There is NOT ONE Act of Terror, that committed by the State of Israel. Not ONE. So — bugger off.

This is, indeed, a crucial distinction, which makes Microsoft's practice benign compared to the evil of SiteFinder.
Look what happened in Guatemala's capital a few days ago...
