I agree. I think that 2D interfaces are the most useful for 3D creatures like ourselves. However, if we were able to navigate in 4 physical dimensions, 3D interfaces would be just right. And VRML would rule.
I don't think you're personally responsible for building America... However you're ancestors may have contributed and they were most likely immigrants.
The US is a BIG country with plenty more room/resources. Judging from your post, you should move to a country with a tiny population density, such as Australia.
Yes - there's a demand for tech workers in the US that can't be supplied by Americans. So you allow immigration to increase the supply.
After all, the USA was built on immigration, no?
I think you'll find that in this day and age, discriminating against a people because of their country of origin and their culture is considered racism.
Hitler also hated people based on their nationality alone you know.
What a load of rubbish. Probably true 30-40 years ago though, but nowadays almost everyone goes through some sort of further education. The universities are heaving with people too.
Besides which, haven't most people developed their writing skills before they reach the age of 16?
I assume you actually have read the Bible, in which case you'd realise that capitalism is inherently anti-Christian. Communism is much more compatible, what with all it's wealth-sharing etc. Anti-American does not equal anti-Christian, after all.
OK, imagine that you've copied your consciousness to a machine of some sort. Now you have TWO of you! At this point of course, the "useless" organic you should be disposed of, but somehow I don't think that would be very nice for you.
Even back when most western nations were seriously Christian, fairy tales and the like were told to children. It seems that today's fundies don't understand the need for a bit of nonsense and fun in their childrens' lives (at least not consciously;-))

Where's your evidence for that allegation?
There hasn't been any decent punk since the 70's...

The previous post was simply saying that large-scale change CAN happen relatively quickly in China. Not what the change would/could/should be.

Actually, Barbados and Iceland are ahead of Australia. Medal Tally per Million Population
The French invented film, then the Americans stole it. Bastards.
1 dollar = 100 cents...
Oh my God, you've been metrified without even noticing!
Notice how, through arrogance and the mistreatment of their most faithful customers, Apple are quickly becoming almost as disliked as the big ol' MS?
Who'll be around to save them when their next crisis rears it's ugly head?
If your spoken English is as poor as your written English, they probably can't understand you.

Don't need one - so there!
Oh dear
Do you read what you've written?
Slashdot is extremely US-biased, although I wouldn't really expect anything else. After all, it's written by Americans in America.
I'd point you in the direction of The Register, which is a great source of computer-news with a UK bias. And a great deal of sarcasm.
The government already runs the narcotics industry - those black helicopters are delivering pizza...
Happy Trollmas!

How would they raise revenue?
You must be prepared to back up your claims, or not make them at all.
I used to whistle into a microphone connected to my spectrum, loading the whole of School Daze into memory. Those were the days.
