All of them were selected in the early to mid 1980's because they were successful at their Engineering and Science postings. They were chosen because of their education and experience first and foremost. It was a reversal of Mao's policies to promote the "hard working farmer" over the educated and technically inclined by Dingxiao Ping.
In the end it worked a hell of a lot better then a government run by uneducated farmers. Just don't tell communists and the 99% that shit gets done with educated people over the "common person".
In 1981 a Canadian diesel submarine managed to sink the USS America (a American aircraft carrier), and another one sunk the U.S.S. Forrestal also a aircraft carrier in NATO's Ocean Venture exercise.
In 1989 The Royal Netherlands Navy in NATO's Northern Star exercise was also credited with sinking another American aircraft carrier using a submarine.
In 1996 during RIMPAC 1996, Chile managed to sink the American aircraft carrier the U.S.S. Independence.
In 1999 again the RN Navy sunk the USS Theodore Roosevelt in JTFEX/TMDI99, as well a Swedish submarine is credited with the sinking of the USS Ronald Reagan in the same exercise.
In 2000 a couple of Russian fighters decided to test the response time of the USS Kitty Hawk, got the the carrier without being detected and managed to do a few fly overs before the Americans decided to do anything about it. Gen. Anatoly M. Kornukov, the Russian air force's commander in chief. ‘In the pictures, you can clearly see the panic on deck.’
In 2002 Australian Navy submarine H.M.A.S. Sheehan, took on and defeated the U.S.S. Olympia in another war game.
In 2003, the Australians in another exercise also got credit for sinking another American aircraft carrier, and they successfully took on 2 Los Angeles class nuclear attack submarines in the exercise as well.
And well the US Air Force did well against Iraq, regretfully, most of the Western world has time and time again made a mockery of the American Air Force, just as the mockery of the American's battle fleets.
For the sake of the rest of the world, I hope the American's can learn something from their past before they end up fighting a enemy who wants to fight.
He has not gone to Congress with laws that are anti-gun, he just has slithered around when it comes to being anti-gun. As to not impose the image of Clinton or Kerry onto himself and lose votes.
He openly blocked the importation of World War 2 vintage firearms that would have been resold to the American public by the CMP from South Korea. Which is a open move against firearms.
Additionally promoting people into positions that will allow them to rule in favor of more gun restrictions, knowing full well they are anti-gun and anti-2nd Amendment does indeed count as being against guns. Since Bush already patched up a lot of the laws when it comes to firearm ownership and defense, its easier to stack the judicial system to your favor (ie anti-gun judges) to effect a reversal of the current laws without going to congress.
He has quietly pushed the anti-gun agenda without overtly acting, which cayenne's reply covered the bulk of it.
He also blocked the repatriation of a bunch of surplus guns legal to own from South Korea. Guns that the CMP (a government founded agency) would have sold for peanuts to new gun owners to get them active and involved in the sport.
And clearly, allowing guns to fall into the hands of the people that have destabilized your neighbor is perfectly acceptable to the Obama administration when operations like Fast and Furious are allowed to take place, and once found there is no real punishment to the directors of that operation. Showing, that he is either perfectly accepting of the situation, or is supporting it. Either way guns going to drug cartels is okay, but a bunch of guns from South Korea going into the hands of law abiding people is wrong.
Stop bringing logic into this, they do not want equality, they want preferential treatment, and to have everything for themselves, humans are selfish irregardless of what crap spews from their mouths.
It same as the communist uprisings of the last century, people wanted a bigger slice of the pie, and a few of them got it, the rest like this sap, ended up losing his share just like most of the people who lived under communism had happen to them.
If you had any more then your neighbors you were automatically a criminal by the virtue of being able to save/maintain your property. Therefor you must be a capitalist pig, so your neighbors turned you in, so they would be happy, that you will get punished for having more then them, which again is simply a form of selfish jealousy
The moment the person or people who wrote the Sweet 16 test, read a copy of the MMSE test, its a derivative work, which is why Compaq, Award and Phoenix all created the IBM BIOS in clean room techniques so that the people writing their code had never seen IBM's, and therefor non-infringing.
But that would imply that the only people who should have guns are criminals and not law abiding citizens per the Obama administration, and we all know that isn't true.
GWB also made it easier for law abiding people to protect themselves, and passed as a executive order that gun companies were not liable for the actions of criminals, something that the courts should have never allowed to happen in the first place.
Apple is using Samsung's flavor of the ARM core, along with a PowerVR GPU on the same CPU core. The initial firm specified the CPU's SoC make up from a list of available options that Samsung provided, they did not "design" anything in the traditional sense.
Nether technology is owned by Apple, nor is combining the 2 owned by Apple, (something Samsung has been doing for a while actually, and many of their ARM cores combine the 2 as a SoC) which is why dozens of cell phones from all makers use nearly identical hardware in their CPU's.
It is also why Apple cannot sue anyone for real technologies that make their phone work, and instead resort to patents with little to no technological value, such as the case form factor.
Perhaps your sigline should be changed to "Apple is a religion of ignorance and blind faith"
No, Samsung makes money either way. They do not care if Apple blocks them from the cell phone market when they make their money keeping Apple tied to Samsung's IP due to Apples use of Samsung designed CPU's. Which also means Apple cannot just take the design of "their" CPU's to another company and get them made without Samsung approving and taking a cut.
If your as big as Samsung with your hands in the entire design to manufacture to assembly and then marketing stages of your products, you can afford to take losses up in marketing and assembly as long as your designs and manufacturing become busier.
Ford has never said they supported SOPA officially or otherwise unlike GoDaddy, and instead has always said we need technological freedoms. While at the same time its understandable that they'd support IP protection as all companies operate on the need of having IP to keep them competitive.
Remember the bail outs? Ford went to the hearings on behalf of GM and Chrysler, not for them to get a bail out, instead they were the only company not only turning a profit but paying down over 19 billion dollars of debt. There line of "innovation to flourish" has always been a core value, even if it means propping up a competitor who is on their knees.
Can I access the Education Community website even if I am not a student?
Maybe. To participate in the Autodesk Education Community, you must agree to and comply with the applicable Terms of Use and also satisfy the following eligibility requirements. You must be one of the following: (a) a faculty member; or (b) a student; or (c) an Autodesk Assistance Program participant.
A faculty member is an employee at a primary or secondary educational institution or any degree-granting or certificate-granting educational institution or any learning, teaching or training facilities and who upon request by Autodesk is able to provide proof of such status.
A student is an individual enrolled at a recognized degree-granting or certificate-granting educational institution for three (3) or more credit hours in a degree-granting or certificate granting education program or in a nine (9) month or longer certificate program, and upon request by Autodesk is able to provide proof of such enrollment.
An Autodesk Assistance Program participant is either a veteran or unemployed individual who has previously worked in the architecture, engineering, design or manufacturing industries, completed the online registration for the Autodesk Assistance Program, and upon request by Autodesk is able to provide proof of eligibility for that program.
There is no formal requirements that guarantees a drivers ability to drive a car either. Hence insurance to protect yourself from other idiots on the road.
Autodesk gives away free copies to students as mentioned. They support it not because of students but because manufacturers are pirating CAD/CAM software to turn a profit and in all honesty that is just thief. If you make a profit using someone else's product or service you should be required to pay up for it.
Also, Autodesk student copies never expire. So its not a "free now pay later".
No one else offers what Baidu does in one package specifically tailored to (mainland) Chinese people, especially good working pinyin input. Even in Canada Baidu is used extensively by the Chinese community due to ease of use.
It wouldn't be the first time someone tried suing the manufacturer of a item cause of its end users actions.
Heck if they won, it wouldn't be the first time someone won money from a manufacturer because of such a suit.
They cannot sue about the chips production or their design, as they are off the shelf Samsung products re-badged for Apple. Samsung owns the IP associated with the silicon not Apple.
Apple has nothing but a few design patents which are a lousy means to stop others products at best, at worst it shows that the Patent system is completely broken when its supposed to allow for technological innovation and yet a company that has none manages to use the system to shut people who actually do innovate out of the market.
Except there wasn't and the USSR was forced to buy grain on the world market, including over 600 million bushels a year of American grain in 1974. Canada alone was selling during the Cuban missile crisis 300 million bushels a year to them too and it only went up after that to levels nearing the American numbers.
Yes, Canada and the US sold them food, even at the high of the cold war. Why? Cause if the people went hungry, they'd demand war, one which no one really wanted to fight in the first place.
Communism that works is a myth, the USSR didn't understand that till it was too late, China has however since the early 1980s.

And people say Apple computers are immune to malware.
Then that would be a violation of the 5th Amendment as it can lead people to discriminate themselves. After all companies are legally citizens now.

We haven't specifically supported the proposed bill. We believe IP protection is crucial & believe in Internet freedom ^SM
Excuse us, but we never specifically said anything about that particular bill. (con't)^SM
We believe IP protection is crucial and will work with Congress to balance innovation & Internet freedom. ^SM
No official position; we support legislation that protects IP but want innovation to flourish (i.e. Internet freedom) ^SM
More insurance policies ....
