    The US does - search for choice in this page. I cannot find sources for Cambodia, but from what i hear they do (from what I hear most countries do)

    Yeah, it is enough to get him deported, but not extradited. The difference is, when you are deported you have the right to go to any country you want to. When being extradited, you are in custody the entire time, and you are forcefully moved to the country you are being extradited to, and handed over to the authorities of the country.

    Well, it was not as well publicized as the video. And instead of Lord Ganesha, if they had chosen some female Goddess Saraswathi or Lakshmi and made them go DP with Jesus and Buddha, I am sure India would have been in riots. (Hell when a famous Indian artist drew a naked Lakshmi, there indeed were riots)

    The US government does allow free speech. If it had not allowed free speech, not this would have happened. I think they rightfully hold the US govt responsible.

    Drew Curtis would beg to differ.

    Innocent until proven guilty only in the eyes of the law. So unless I am called to be part of the jury (which is unlikely as I live in different country), I can judge him any way I want. I would not act on it, but I would definitely judge.

    It is your CD. You should have tested whether it works before giving them out to couple hundred people, not after.

  8. Re:Chrome is for ICS/JB only and requires Gapps on Firefox OS: Disruptive By Aiming Low · · Score: 1

    Simple, change the default font (use something like comic sans serif and size it small, like 9). You could also play with default colors. Now your browsing experience will be crazy, and your fonts truly screwed (I understand that GP said font rendering. As someone who tried firefox mobile before v14, I can assure you it was the default fonts that were crazy, and not the font rendering (which if I understand android architecture correctly, is done at a much lower level)).

  9. Re:Hmm... on Google Pressured Acer/Alibaba Because of Android Compatibility Issues · · Score: 1

    While everyone's Microsoft analogies sound good, they don't really work - because if they were true Google would have kicked Acer out of the OHA for making a Windows phone...

    Or they knew Windows Phone is not going to take of any time soon. Aliyun though is already very popular in China, and is a much much bigger threat than Windows Phone.

    Did you try it after they got hardware acceleration and new UI (Firefox v14, July 17)? I find both working equally well on my smartphone.

    Ahh, I have always been on cynogenmod (and have been upgrading as new releases come up), so I never noticed this. Interesting decision from the Chrome team.

  12. Re:Firefox for Android on Firefox OS: Disruptive By Aiming Low · · Score: 1

    That is because it is hardware accelerated. You should also try Chrome (which is also hardware accelerated).

    That is like saying you created the iPhone 5, because you hold shares in Apple (or even better you paid for an iPhone 4s, and Apple funded iPhone 5 development using your money)

    Good riddance I say. Let the rich leave, and other entrepreneurs start new businesses that actually make the economy grow.

  17. Re:What good is public comment on DHS Gets Public Comment, Whether It Wants It Or Not · · Score: 2

    That would not be enough. What about people who dont fly, and are afraid of planes falling from skies into their office buildings and apartments. We need to divide the country's airspace into two. One in which TSA vetted planes fly, and another in which unvetted planes fly. People are free to live under either of the airspace.

    PS: How many do you think will live under either of the airspaces?

    Simple pat-downs have not been used for quite a while now. TSA now uses enhanced pat-downs.

  22. Re:Sure, you can resign anytime you like, worker on Foxconn Says Vocational Students Aren't Being 'Forced' To Work · · Score: 1

    Pay is not very good indicator of good work. I had to submit a letter from my supervisor describing my job to get them to approve my credits (And they get to determine how many credits it is worth too (I was in graduate school, so they were a lot picky)).
     
    And I am glad I was able to. It was not a good time to be looking for a job as a computer science student with little experience. My internship got converted into a full-time with a very good pay.
