Within Muslims, toss in Western converts - White, Black, Hispanic... Of which, much of it occurs in jails w/ incarcerated criminals. Once they are converted and out, they resume their crimes, but this time, w/ a sense of purpose. Since under Islam, any crime against infidels is legit, they can do whatever they like, and then rationalize it in the name of Islam.
Demographically, Arabs are big, but not the biggest group of Muslims. Biggest would be South Asiatics (600M) - Pakis, Bangladeshis & Indian Muslims, followed by Arabs (450M), then East Indians (250M) - Indonesians, Malaysians, Bruneians & Filipinos, then Turkic & Iranian peoples (150M each). African Blacks & others would make up the remaining 200M.
Like you said, nothing like Jews, but at the same time, they are a real existential threat to all of their neighbors. In the subcontinent, they would like to resurrect the Mughal empire. In the Arab empire, they are busy either obsessing over the existence of Israel, or persecuting non-Arab minorities, even if Muslim, such as the Darfuris and Kurds. In Indonesia, Jihadists are busy trying to Islamize all the islands that have not become fully Muslim. In Malaysia, Bhumiputra is apartheid by Muslims against non-Muslims, and there is a Malay Jihadist movement in South Thailand. In Mindanao, there is a Jihadist movement trying to separate Mindanao from the Philippines and make it another Islamic state. Turkey is busy exploring how to become the leader of the Sunni - and thereby, the larger Muslim world. In the stans, Jihadist movements are affiliating w/ ISIS and Chechen movements and plotting to recreate the Timuride empire. Iran has been busy exploiting Shi'ite sentiment wherever it can, while in Tajikistan and Afghanistan, it's leveraged its ethnic commonality to influence those countries.
Not your typical 'live & let live' crowd. But then, neither are the Leftists
That's actually the best solution to all of this, like I suggested when this topic was discussed some days ago. Have the company at the destination rent laptops, or even have loaner laptops that one can use. Before leaving, back up all the work on DropBox or Google Drive or OneDrive, and then at the destination, take the loaner/rental laptop, log in and then download whatever files you need to be working on, use it at the conferences and meetings, and when you're ready to return home, just back everything back on to the cloud, and either wipe the login yourself, or let the company do it for you. That way, every laptop is new again for the next user. Don't leave any data on the laptop yourself before you logout/leave.
One assumption in all this: do not use the laptop for personal stuff, like checking your bank account, going to Twitter or watching porn.
Short Microsoft stock. Since their attempts at both the phone market as well as the Surface has fallen flat, and the surface just serves as a laptop, chances are that business people will see the need to use phones increasingly as a substitute for laptops, thereby replacing laptops entirely for uses where people have to travel, and where telecommuting ain't enough.
Wouldn't portability be an issue as well - namely, that the dataflow language may have compilers in one platform, whereas C is pretty much universal? Therefore, converting something from a flow chart to C would help target all platforms the programmer is interested in.
The irony is delicious. More often than not, these tech people happen to be infra-Leftists who have a fetish for living/working in places like San Francisco. Then the moonbats of San Francisco have a problem w/ them using robots to deliver goods or services. Had they simply done their thing in other cities, like Phoenix or Atlanta, they'd have been fine. But no, they have to do it in the great city by the Bay.
Honestly, I'm not remotely sympathetic to companies like Yelp! who set up shop near Market Street, and then have to face moonbats pissed off @ them for using robots. In fact, the sooner they go out of business, the better: that will be a salutary lesson to people to start their dream companies outside the Left Coast
But all the 3 platforms have Angry Birds, don't they. Similarly, NFC could develop apps for the lowest common denominators - Android 4, iOS 7 and Windows Phone 8.0. That way, all the platforms would have it.
Actually, no. Even on the iPhone 5s, one couldn't get it. And when Apple Pay was introduced, the iPhone 4s was still being sold: not sure about the 4c.
As someone posted yesterday, you need 50% of the house to impeach, and 67% of the senate to remove. Not likely to happen, even if the Dems win both houses in 2016
Good question. And have an app that can ride on any phone - Android, iOS, even Windows Phone. Right now, companies make this a feature for top end phones: Apple only has it for iPhone 6 & above, Microsoft only had it for the Lumia 950/XL, and so on. And they are all different and competing standards. Have one across the board that one can use regardless of their phone (it just needs be a smartphone), and let it be as basic a function as text messaging.
Ironically, none of this would be needed if the US could just go ahead w/ Trump's campaign era Muslim ban. All of the fear is of Muslims - original or converts - pulling off a terror attack. But the mere travel ban, which affects not even 10% of Muslims, was sabotaged by judicial runts. Since the US government can't say. 'We couldn't stop this terror attack b'cos these judges stopped us', they are forced to inconvenience everybody who needs/wants to come into the country.
No, you will need to go there.
So instead of the US making money off tourists, the US will become the tourists and spend their money in other countries.
And as for international tourism to the USA in general, watch the numbers fall. Our family won't be back, too much aggravation and risk
Far easier to go to Europe and Asia.
Uh, 'tourism' is not the purpose of such visits. It's to have conferences that enable smoother functioning in any company.
Tourism is a separate industry all its own, and there, people will decide whether to come or not based on a variety of factors. Of course, if they're Trump haters, they won't even bother, but if they're not, a whole slew of other factors will come into play.
Global leadership is China's, if one talks manufacturing. I'd rather have that leadership, and let the French or Germans or Brits have the Climate Change leadership
They may well believe it, but it's not one of the top 3 issues for them: those remain the economy, healthcare and terrorism. Climate change comes somewhere after that, even if they believe it. And support for the Paris agreement is just not there outside the Democrat Party, which explains why the entire Senate refused to endorse the Paris agreement - both Republicans and Democrats!
So after conceding that neither a nuclear nor a coal plant is likely to far worsen your standard of living, you turn out to be a NIMBY guy after all. I'd happily live next to either - would simply like to live rent free there for the rest of my life. As long as I've good internet, I'm happy.
This is what I voted for, glad he's keeping his promises. Climate change politics are increasingly about wealth redistribution. If it was a real issue nuclear power would be the solution, but nobody seems interested in a solution.
I know you're modded down, but the most ridiculous aspect of this treaty is that countries like China & India, which are far worse polluters of the environment, don't have to do a thing about it until 2030. If anything, those countries should bear the initial brunt of cleaning up, and when the rest of the world is where we are, then talk about everybody - including the US - cleaning up!
Show any data demonstrating that Independents are one way or the other on climate change. The only people who've been aggressively on Obama's side on this has been the Democrats.
Yeah, but in NT 6, which was Windows 8, they moved in the direction of making it as microkernel-ish as possible, like moving device drivers to user space. Windows 8 would have been terrific, had they retained the Windows 7 Aero interface, just changed the start button from a flag to a window, and simply replaced the underlying kernel
In that case, why are there separate bathrooms for men & women? Just have 1 giant bathroom in every facility, w/ a few urinals and a few commodes, let people go in as they wish. Women can use the commodes, men can use either, and I wonder whether women will get to do their makeup in front of the men
Nobody wants government to monitor bathrooms. Just that Leftists want government to force every public organization to allow transgenders to use bathrooms of their choice. It's one thing if individual organizations choose to do that. But forcing organizations who don't recognize this to do that is what's at issue, but the SJWs have done a fine job equating that to Rosa Parks and other historical watersheds.
Was Windows CE ever called Windows Mobile? I had no idea
Windows Phone 6 & 7 were based on Windows CE. Windows Phone 8 was based on the same kernel as Windows 8 and RT i.e. an NT kernel. Windows 10 Mobile is based on the same kernel as Windows 10 - again an NT kernel.
I don't think they're going back to a CE based OS.

In case you missed it, the elections for Barbara Boxer's Senate seat last year was b/w 2 Dems: that's how Leftist that state is!
I somehow thought that San Francisco was evenly split b/w the Dems & the Greens, and that it is a 2 party system out there.
