put this invention to use ! design us a light-emitting table-cloth, so we can game (works for other table-top games too i guess) on an interactive map !
maybe their ideas weren't fascistic, but they surely ACTED fascistic. from wikipedia : "Fascism is a radical totalitarian political philosophy that combines elements of corporatism, authoritarianism, extreme nationalism, militarism, anti-anarchism, anti-communism and anti-liberalism." totalitarian -> check, authoritarian-> check, nationalism-> check, anti-anarchism-> check, anti-liberalism-> check, militarism-> check. That's 6 out of 8. I agree totally with the 'NB'.
Because being green is, unfortunately, usually more expensive than the alternative. I don't entirely agree with this, because part of the cost of a product is materials and energy, so it's a good thing economically to think green. Not poisoning your customers will also help:)
The longer you wait, the more places wind power is viable in. over the last 20 years the price has been DIVIDED by 5. Expected is that these prices will drop even more; Expect 50% in 20 years, that would make it by far the cheapest energy source, without even taking environmental costs into account.
Nuclear power is a great way to replace coal. No it is not: it is expensive. Wind is getting cheaper and cheaper, and this with a massively lower R&D budget than fission.
Why would you first install a free OS to later add a paying Office application ? my answer would be : only in a very small number of cases. So potential sales for this MSOffice4Linux are small... not attractive for MS.
they're all conveniences that make dealing with text far easier.
that's only because our brains are trained to see a difference between capitals and lowercase.... do we have a 'bold' key on our keyboard ? do we have a 'italics' key on our keyboard ? do we have a key on our keyboard to switch fonts ?
I've removed the caps-lock key for a long time allready. I've even wondered what use capitals are... they serve no purpose. You say they can emphasize words ? I tend to disagree, most of the time emotions are transferred via text, they are misunderstood.

such problems are related to the fact that too much money is involved with drugs, due to the illegality of it.
Too much money involved from all sides; too much money is required to make news; too much is too be gained or lost... It is VERY hard to make unbiased news when your being pulled from all sides. Additional problem to this is the exponentional interlinking of companies via the stock-market.
something i always found peculiar : generally the choice of format depends on language; in dutch you say something like this : 7 juli 2006, so we have DD/MM/YYYY... english countries generally have MM/DD/YYYY. But this strikes me as odd; why wouldn't it have been based on ascending(smallest unit/day first) or descending(largest unit/year first) order ?

I want that to use as my second monitor. Good enough for editing text-files on.
There's nothing historical about fascism

What you call Anti-communists or communists BOTH borders more on fascism and/or dictatorship.

A bit like a tape robot?

so that would be a reason for MS Not to implement MSoffice4linux ... that's shooting their own foot ?

That idealism tells me a person should be able to sustain himself on a 40hr a week job, and if he doesn't, his pay is not enough.
working 2/3 of their existence may be well worth it for the pay they recieve.
I hate this kind of reasoning. It says western people are better than the rest This INDUCES terrorism.
Your kid is going to have a million babies ? impressive.

me too, It's hard enough making simple software just bug-free, and I don't think the perfect virus-shield is around the corner too.
It's being flogged to death with advertisements, virusses, spam and whatnot ...

Postal services around the world buying loads and loads of mailservers just for driving internet usage ... I'll go check my spam-filter now.
How long will it be until having an unpopular opinion against the government will be considered "anti-social behaviour"??
In the US, this would be called 'anti-patriottic'
Language is not static; would it be that bad if it would change ?
