No I am not linking any of these to IP held by US citizes at all. You are linking it. What I am saying is, nullfying US debt held by China makes no sense at all, what so ever. And I dont agree with the statement that US should be scared of China dumping US securities either. Please work on you reading comprehension.
They consider more factors than the ones you referred and place US as one of the worst. The actual research is located here. Do dig into the data (There is a link in the right half of the page)
Yeah I guess the People's Bank of China doesn't hold any US Treasuries and Chinese government doesn't have anything resembling an industrial policy that might be construed as systematic looting of US IP.
People Bank of China does hold US treasury, and chinese govt does have loot US Ip. Neither of these mean that treasury notes come with an implicit agreement though.
You dont understand. Treasury notes are not some sort of agreement between two govts. A lot of Treasury notes are privately held. You cannot make implicit terms with something that is as widely held (hell, my city holds some US Treasury bonds) and held by all sorts of people.
And it is funny that you should mention that US cannot inflate the currency to get rid of these notes. From what I understand from current policies, that is pretty much what US govt is currently doing.
I was just referring to the hypothetical league. I was saying that as much as nations fights go, this is a fair one.
So china is being found guilty and is being punished for it. So as long as this keeps happening, everything is fine right? And didnt the US do the same when it was a rising power? Which again goes to prove that it is a pretty fair fight when it comes to the league of nations.
Yeah right. We have do something, so might as well stab ourselves. Treasury notes are only as good as the borrower's promise to pay back. If the borrower changes the terms later, even if just for china. They become worthless instantly.
If you consider Apple a patent troll (some on slashdot do), then yes a university can be considered a patent troll too. But only if you consider Apple a patent troll.
What China does is considered a fair fight, in the league of nations. US used to do it a lot and still does a lot of bullying.
China doesnt care about US territory, only about resources. It would gladly take foreign resources if it could (and some believe it can). And if there is one thing that really pisses of China, is affecting its economic interests. If you nullfy Treasurly bond, I would expect China to go on a full on war.
And you have no clue about how Treasure bonds becoming worthless would affect the US, do you?
I only answer to ACs answering my postings if they make good points.
I dont suppose you answer to non-ACs that dont make good points either right. Then I dont suppose it matters if the person responding to you is anonymous or not, does it?
Er, because it would widely publicized. Apple has good PR personnel who usually make sure it is widely publicized that Apple is contributing to OSM. The simplest is to throw money at them, to help them run servers. They could also share their routing algorithm, and the code that uses OSM maps.
Well if they are trying to push Android and cripple iPhone, to me, they are evil.
Google held usability ransom, to gain more control into iPhone, and Apple sacrificed usability to retain control. Both are equally evil in this case.
Why do you think Apple sacrificed usability? The fact is they did not switch to their own mapping data until they could offer something more usable.
Not agreeing to terms that would make the maps worse for users (like larger and more prominent logos that EVERY app developer has to rev an app to make sure they are not hiding) is not "sacrificing usability".
I guess it depends on whether you find navigation useful. If you did, then apple did sacrifice usability. If you did not, neither Apple nor Google did anything that affects you. So neither is evil.
I dont see Apple contribute to OSM so far
Why would they not want the data they are presenting to be more accurate? If Apple is using that data they will help improve it.
How should I know? Why are they not contributing to OSM again?
Actually there was power play between Google and Apple. Google ultimately wanted Apple to allow their own app, which Apple did not want too. And Apple wanted Google to license everything they had on Google Maps, which they refused and agreed only to give a taste of Google Maps.

And about OSM, I could give a shit about who uses OSM, unless they contribute to it. I dont see Apple contribute to OSM so far, so I dont give shit that Apple uses OSM. May be slightly disgusted, but nothing more.
Wow, you were so happy with Apple not providing you with turn-by-turn navigation? And now with iOS 6, you suddenly are really happy that you get turn-by-turn navigation. Talk about fanbois.
And yes, it was Apple that did not provide you turn-by-turn navigation. Apple licensed Google Maps data, and build their own app to provide Google Maps services, and for some reason did not think navigation was important enough (until now of course).
I know you are joking, but HFT system run anywhere other than the same network as the exchange servers is useless. You would very predictable, and the other HFT systems would eat you up. So no the 15 microseconds does not matter, in the larger scheme of things.
The larger customers will support the infrastructure. Google is basically saying that it does not nickle and dime customers. It also helps that it puts competitors in negative light.
Nope, the point was to get gigabit internet out there, for a sharp discount compared to non-existent gigabit connection from other companies (and also cheaper than their 50 mbps plans)
Nope, I am not taking away credits from Windows 7, but from Microsoft. Please read the GGPs post carefully, and my response (hell, read the title of these post carefully).
I do and I did.
And now read your comment. Ok I realize I am trolling now
Try Windows 8 and you would take back any credit you give them for Windows 7.
Why would you take back credit for some thing someone did 2 years ago based on them making a fuck up now? That is like saying I would take away you bachelor degree simply because you failed your doctorate.
A simpler example would be multiple tests contributing credit to the same course (I feel this is more similar to Win7, Win8 than bachelors and doctorate). I am choosing a model, where I can give negative marks to a test, because it failed so bad. So when I sum these two tests, I get a zero. You may not agree with me that negatives marks can be awarded, but I would say its more like real world (Its like money. If I pay you do two paint jobs, you do the first one very well, and the second so bad that you damaged the walls or something; I would obviously reduce the money you would get for the first job).
Thorium on the other hand produces much more power per gram and has very little waste. The waste it does produce is exceedingly less dangerous than the current 1950s style reactors.
You forgot most important part (assuming you are referring to the molten-salt thorium reactors), there is no boom. The reactor can never go out of control. Hence there is never a nuclear cloud or fall out. And also, the reactor can be designed to be started and stopped in minutes rather than hours or days or months.

What do you call when you target enemies and hit friendlies. That correct, friendly fire. Now read GP's post again.

Well, it is difficult to classify people online as American and Non-American. So it is easier to keep a doiser on everyone, including all Americans.
Tressury notes will become worthless overnight. If the US can do it to China, who says they cannot do it to others. Being a sore loser never helps.
Not mention that China might very well go to war, if this happens.

Perhaps, that is all the skills that is required for the job. Just like car mechanics, IT support is becoming less and less of a highly skilled job.
Buy weapons from them, and dump it in the sea. See, the solution is simple.
