If you lose an auction to a sniper it's because they entered a higher maximum bid than you. If you were prepared to pay more then why didn't you enter a higher maximum bid to start with? The only people who lose out from sniping are those fools who bid incrementally until they have the highest bid. Their failure to grasp how the proxy bidding system works is their own problem.

Iran has managed to avoid invasion for the last few decades without nuclear weapons. But having them will make it much easier.
critics like to forget that Saddam set his regime up for the chopping block with the invasion of Kuwait Nobody really knows why they invaded Iraq. All the reasons given by the governments taking part have been knocked down one after another. No WMD, no connection to Al Qaeda and the invasion and occupation has killed a third as many Iraqis in a couple of years as Saddam Hussein managed in 24. No doubt the real story is brimming with greed, arrogance, stupidity and incompetence.
Even controlling for some bias, etc., the media usually reports on what happens No, the media reports what it's target audience wants to read. A newspaper or TV news channel is usually a business. They sell advertising targeted at a particular type of reader or viewer and aren't going to report things that jar with the worldview of their target audience.
But you're being willfully ignorant if you believe that they do not have the desire to build them. Well yes, of course they do, wouldn't you if it'd stop the US invading your country for control of the oil reserves?
But when countries like Iran talk about Israel being wiped off the face of the earth That was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President, admittedly a bit of loony. I think you're interpreting the word 'president' as a US style semi-elected king. The president of Iran is not in charge of the armed forces.
It takes a pretty broad stretch to connect taking someone else's work, copying it, and handing it out for free as a violation of free speech No, all it takes is a different point of view.
People have this delusion that China is a big happy fairytale land where everyone considers each other brothers and bows their head does what they are told. They do? I certainly don't. It doesn't make any difference, apathy and ignorance win in the end.
The only real 'speech' laws that the US has that it activly tries to enforce over the Internet are child porn laws. Put a copy of some game or music CD on your website, or how about some photoshopped piccies of Bush strung up from a tree? See how fast you get censored.
China on the other hand has a political system where the masses have little say in governance. The US has a political system where the masses have little say in governance. For instance two thirds of US citizens want some sort of state health insurance system but it's not going to happen against the wishes of the insurance and pharmaceutical companies.
A day of reckoning is coming for China No it isn't. The apathy of the majority will ensure the continuity of business as usual as it does everywhere else.
Not working on my T610 either. O2 are a steaming pile of shit anyway and their GPRS coverage is ropey in the extreme. I was also enraged to find out recently that they block access to the mobileweb AP from PAYG phones, meaning no email. They don't tell you this 'til after you've bought the phone of course so now I've the extra expense of getting the thing unlocked and debranded.
At the current rate of consumption, there is only enough Uranium on the planet for the next 50 years Hence the need for breeder reactors so we can use all that U238. At the same time, we have an energy source right in our vicinity which is, for all practical purposes, non-depletable and delivers several thousand times more energy to our planet in every second than we are currently using but you'll have to guess what it is as I'm not going to say.
By far the most common use for copying digital entertainment is to share it in a way that deprives the distributor of income. And look, here's the worlds smallest violin playing the worlds saddest song just for them. Har, har.
Turns out it was a quasar, a hithero unkown phenomena, but the Soviets made laughing stocks out of themselves by assuming first it was aliens instead of a more mundane explanation
That would be 'pulsar' not 'quasar'. Pulsars were first noticed in the late 1960s and and therefore a rotating neutron star would not at the time have been 'a more mundane explanation'. ISTR when the first one was found by observers at Jodrell Bank circa 1968 the signal was dubbed 'LGM' (Little Green Men) as they were thought to possibly be signals from extraterrestrials.
Perhaps you should read it yourself before assuming that it's a ringing endorsement of free market economics. There are no genuinely free markets that I'm aware of anyway.

Welcome to the Land of the Fat.
Bush is way more frightening than any third world warlord.
Just wait, he'll be a third world warlord soon enough.
They both suck. May they both die the death of a billion indifferent consumers.
