    They figure only one third of the manufacturing jobs, and only the manufacturing jobs, created by this $10 billion IT stimulus will "leak" out of the country.

    I think they underestimate the number of jobs that will "leak" out of the country in all parts due to H1B visas, outsourcing, and, of course, the off-shoring of IT equipment manufacturing jobs.

    Ok, you would send in troops to stop the fuck. The now all you have to do is scale up to conflict so that it is members of one nation being attacked by the members of another nation, member who are part of the elected government which is doing nothing to stop them from attacking.

    So, what is Hamas, a group that shoots AT Israeli children while hiding behind Palestinian children?

    And, what would you do if someone hid behind his children, and started taking pot shots at your child? Just ignore him or shoot back at him?

    First off, where is "here".

    So, in your mind, it is OK to bomb schools and families because "there is very little in the common press on israeli misbehaviour"? But, if Israel acts to stop those same attacks, having women and children hurt is wrong?

    Is that what you are telling me? Hmmm, maybe they should follow your and Hamas' behavior and bomb Palestinian schools and homes. Then, their "misbehaviour" would be on the news and that would make everything all right.

    Nothing racists about what I said. It is a known fact that France has large slums full Arabs and Muslims and that when something happens that they don't like they riot. And, that the French police are afraid to go into the slums. Your government allowed them to come to your country, put them into slums and now you are being forced to cede parts of your country to them.

    Western Europe is a joke, a group of corrupt, failed world powers who look disaprovingly at any nation more vigorous than they. They have huge slums of poor, discontent immigrants who cling to their own cultures and the laws of their former countries while the Western Europeans pat themselves on the back for being so open minded and welcoming.

    Do you know why the government of France, Spain, and Germany were against the Iraq War? It was because those governments had contracts with Hussein for favorable oil exports as soon as the sanctions were lifted.

    The fact is you are a bunch of hypocritical cowards.

    If you want to play that game.... That area of the world is the Jews homeland as was long before there were Arabs or Muslims. The Muslims should leave. It is only fair.

    Or, maybe we should talk about how Hamas targets schools, hospitals, and residential areas and has been doing so for years. Would you like to talk about that?

    Israel is not in the wrong. Palestine is in the wrong and the Palestinian people have brought this on themselves by electing Hamas into the government and allowing Hamas to repeatedly and continuously attach Israel.

    If the Palestinians and the world want this to stop, then they need to stop Hamas. It is as simple as that.

    No, it is not "Hamas did it to.", you dumbass. It is "We are tired of taking this shit from Hamas, and if the Palestinians won't stop them we will. And, we are not going to worry too much about the Palestinians, must like they didn't worry about us."

    Now, why don't you shut up and go do something about all those rioting muslims in your slums.

    How come you don't mention the rockets Hamas has been firing at residential areas and schools for the last 5 years?

    Who shot first is irrelevant.

    It is only irrelevant because people ignore when Hamas attacks Israel and provokes an attack. Instead, people focus on how Israel is hurting the poor, terrorist loving Palestinians who elected a terrorist group to power and allow them to fire rockets into their bigger, better armed neighbor.

    You people even excuse brainwashing young men and women into blowing themselves up.

    Did Akram blame Hamas for starting this? Or, does he think that Israel should sit by and let Hamas fire rockets targeted at schools and residential areas for another five years?

    How about you? Do you think Israel should allow Hamas to attack them repeated and not defend themselves?

    Hamas spends five years launching rockets at schools and residential areas and not one word from anyone. Israel decides it has had enough and acts to stop the cowardly fucks and people complain about how mean Israel is and how it is hurting the Palestinians.

    If Hamas had not fired rockets into Israel again, after taking a six month break to build more and better rockets, then none of this would have happened.

    The only problem is that THEY are the scarce resource and YOU are not. There are more students applying than there are seats. You attend on their terms, not yours.

    If they insist, point out that they already accepted you and you turned down other offers to go to them.

    And, they will point out that you APPLIED to go there and that these are the terms of going there. You don't want to agree to the terms, you don't have to go there. Go to another university. It is not their fault you didn't do you due diligence to find out the terms of attendance. Remember, you have scant, if any, legal footing because no contract has been signed and no money has changed hands.

    You obviously are not a lawyer and have never actually dealt with the law and the legal system in any meaningful way.

    1) The numbers provided by your linked site are not a representative sample of all personal computer owners.
    2) Income will only go up by 10% if adoption by Mac users mirrors adoption by Windows users. This is not likely to be the case because Mac users tend to have a different demographic make up.
    3) The reason that "those who buy expensive (Over $1000) computers are currently more likely to buy a Mac than a PC" is because there are many more WinTel/PC computers under $1000 that have capabilities that are similar to or better than Macs. You may as well say "People who buy expense watches (over $25,000) are more likely to buy a Rolex than a Timex". This also excludes those that buy Mac for philosophical reasons, familiarity, brand loyalty, and status/image.
