If ever a term was crying out for a rigid, ostensive definition from astronomers, it's 'planet'
You must be a lawyer. Or perhaps you were just brainwashed by the patent department.
I suggest that, rather than founding an interplanetary comission (so the Xenians may or may not be in it) for the ultimate definition of planethood, we learn to live with a universe that has a number various sized lumps of matter in it, and use language to explain more precisely what we mean in a particular case should the need arise.
These are trivial details that any accountant in Brussels could have given in a minute. After all, there are millions of people working in foreign companies all over the european union. Apple not knowing how to transfer money (but probably well aware how to receive it from customers and investors) sounds like the lamest excuse ever.
"As a conclusive counter-example, check out Johnson & Johnson's credo. Shareholder value is fourth on that list and it's been below other goals for the past 60 years."
As a former employee of this company I can assure the Esteemed Shareholders that the fourth place in the credo does not reflect the order of importance for management decisions.
All bombs currently in use are ethnic in some sense. Race is one of the most clear indicators of the likelyhood that you're going to get killed by one.

I guess it shows that Microsoft cannot make the 'quantum leap' in scalability that the linux kernel made (with a lot of help from SGI, who had been there on their MIPS platforms).
Perhaps they should have hired some SGI engineers (instead of the CEO...)
Of course; aren't we all true believers in the gospel of the free market? Private corporations will compete by putting forward presidents, until the best possible president money can buy dominates the market.
What part would that 'good sound' reasoning be? Did French do worse than the U.S. in Vietnam, or does being kicked out count as leaving voluntarily? Or does being kicked out of Cuba?
Superpowers have misbehaved throughout history, and the U.S are no exception, no matter how much propaganda sauce you pour over the facts.
When you grow up you may come to realize that those anti-American people 'bashing' the U.S. are actually the ones that care most for its values and for what the U.S. could mean for the world. Or do you really believe that the corrupted puppet regimes you instate and that only support you as long as the money is rolling in are really interested in things like freedom?.
Depending on the report you believe the cost is between 800 and 1800 million U.S. dollars, most of this money is spent on professionals like doctors doing the clinical testing and lawyers protecting the IP of the pharmaceutical companies.
The companies that have managed to do the same in the field of AIDS treatment, and provide it for less come from for instance The U.K, France, Germany and Switzerland. None of these would have been included in the 15 billon deal proposed by the the US government.
Given that fact: it is hard to dispute that the U.S. is the LEAST imperialistic country in the modern world Hard to dispute because you put fingers in your ears and sing 'I can't hear you' I suppose?
I am so tired of the U.S.-bashing I'm losing faith in humanity. Despite one of the largest deficits in our history, the U.S. came up with 15 billion to fight AIDS in Africa
Those 15 billion were almost exclusively intended to buy drugs from U.S. companies who manufacture them at less than 1% of that price. So this was only a thinly disguised attempt to subsidize the US pharma business and look like benefactors at the cost of the millions dying in Africa.
Aren't there local, state, federal, and international laws against exposing the vulnerability of a private system?Haven't many people already been harassed by the FBI for doing much the same thing with corporate systems? Or do these people get a free pass because they're from a University?
In other words: So, when will you stop beating your wife? Except that to make the analogy complete, you should add that in this case the question is put to somebody who is actually busy beating his wife...

I think it's a great definition:
I now officially qualify for planethood.

As far as I know the monitoring of other countries is being run by the UKUSA organization ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKUSA ) in the echelon ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON ) project. No need to run that through an external contractor...

Hm, interesting.
I'll check on monday to see if my 64-bit version is resistant to the bug.
You probaly need to accept funny charactersets in the url as well:
I have 'intl.charset.default' with 'ISO-8859-1'
and 'intl_accept_charsets' with 'iso-8859-1,*,utf-8'
Yep, lethal if network.enableIDN is true,
no problem if set to false in about:config
well, I guess that now is the time to declare war on P2P networking.
That'll put a stop to it.

How about:
No Yes Yes No Yes No
But then, IANAL
Isn't that what they call running a reactor without coolant until meltdown in China?

You cannot read maps either, you mean?
