Scientists have done surveys of people all over the world
You mean like independent neutral Swiss scientists?
When it comes to differences/preferences between/among the sexes you'll see the most ludicrous results and theories, and more often than not are they plain wrong if you look at their data.
They are however extremely popular amongst the tabloids since it allows (mostly) men to see how much better they are, and they can even back up their claims with "scientific studies", which we all know can't be questioned.
While true you journalists are allowed to not give out their sources in most cases, the difference here is that with a blog you can write yourself and don't have to go through a news paper who may, or may not, put their spin on it.
Obama has made several statements that lead many of us to believe that he's not quite sure WTF he's doing. Nobody is perfect, but this 180 degree shift doesn't make sense unless he is just pushing the program underground or plying for political favor somewhere. Neither of those options speak well of him, and neither explanation bodes well for the security and safety of the citizens of the USA.
Unless you believe that the fact that USA wants to have weapon everywhere and power over all is one of the reason it's so hated. Maybe, just maybe if we stopped being asshats and pick sides (the side that will in one way or another profit us) in every conflict we wouldn't need all those weapons? We could start being a nation among many, and like the rest of the world use UN.
I guess this is a strange view for someone like you but there are many countries in the world who safeguard "freedom" and yet not see the need to arm space and have enough nukes to blow the world up.
I think a nice start would be to start checking if our previous leadership shouldn't be tried in Haag or similar, the attack on Iraq (and partially Afghanistan) where clearly unprovoked attacks on independent nations which breeches international law.
I don't see that happening but as an alternative, not trying to piss off more people by building more weapons (of mass destruction) would be nice.
So you're claiming waste is treated in accordance with all out knowledge today? If so why is south Italy more or less a dump, why is so much waste "sold" to various countries in Africa (and to China)? Container ships cleaning tanks straight into the sea? Why do we still kill off huge masses of land for mining and storage of uranium?
All those things (and many more) are just tales?
And don't come saying "It's them third world countries..." it's companies and governments in Europe and USA doing it either actively or supporting it by paying for it.
...They have a database of who is making international calls.
I made my donation today. Please, please, please make yours.
How would this in any way prove they have a database of that? It's not at all unlikely they do (if for nothing else to see what type of customers they have) but you are aware of that when you call out they do know who you're calling, and there's nothing stopping them from putting you in said database at that point.
EA will misinterpret this as Spore being a badly designed game.
They wouldn't be far off by assuming that either. I'd say the long AC description of the game is pretty much spot on.
It's basically 4 mini games and a short game molded into one game. Neither of the games are good at the genre they are belonging to.
My only consolation after years of waiting is that I couldn't resist the urge to get the pirated version before it was released. Now there's no way I'm buying it.
It's just as unwise to trust him as it is to trust $corporatePrMan.
But if it was open $amd_corporate_pr_man (only a fool would use camel case in variables in perl/shell/php) could go "well, sure we score worse but look here -> the test isn't fair."
And then sites like tomshardware would catch on and $bigstrat2003 would be informed.
I fail to understand the hypocritical nature of socialists... its good when they fuck your neighbor, cause his car is nicer, but its bad when they spy on you so they can fuck you if they find out you've got a nice car too. I think what you really fail to see is that this law was voted through by a coalition of liberals, christian right wingers and social-conservative people.
These are also the people leading Sweden currently, where are all these scary socialists?
This is mixing two separate issues. Oil is not the problem as far as producing electricity, its coal. Coal produces an enormous carbon foot print and is just all around nasty (from other residual waste to the damage to the environment that occurs just getting at it). I grew up in north east Pennsylvania, and I have seen first hand the impact of coal mining, its pretty horrific. That is unfortunately also a very big problem with uranium mining many people forget when they're talking about this "clean" power source. The storage also being a big problem, since much is taken care of by third world countries. I haven't read any reports where you can compare uranium/oil/coal easily.
I think that's the ill side effect of the green house effect hysteria, green house gases aren't the way we're screwing up our planet but the only focus currently.
not quite. keeping version 1.0 of linux under copyright would be expensive. version 2.6.25 would however be almost free
So then all previous versions would lose their license and be free lunch for Mega Corp?
I still don't see how the FOSS licenses would benefit from this whole idea, or small (budget-wise) projects either for that matter. Same thing with small time artists and designers, Wal-Mart etc would be able to just don't pay in a couple of years. These large companies otoh would be able to keep paying this 'tax' for a long time.
How about the tax start out at something like $10 for the first year, doubling each year thereafter...
So Torvalds would need to pay $655.360 this year to be able to keep Linux GPL licensed? And Emacs and vi would be $21,474,836,480 each.
On the other hand Vista would be $20. Not really sure I think that's a reasonable model and it's also the main problem with this whole idea, how do the small people protect their inventions from large companies? MS paying $40 960 for keeping it's Win95 protected isn't a problem but any GPL/BSD/any other FOSS licensed non profit product would just be open for companies like Oracle and MS in a couple of years while they would without any problems keep paying.
Might be possible to work out something good from the original idea but just implementing this straight on would just strengthen the positions of large companies.
What's this with captureing CO2!? Our friends at the "Competitive Institute" very well explain that CO2 is our friend. We should not capture our friends!
[i]Every non free-market solution requires the hand of government. Are you that trustworthy of government to hand them the reins of the economy? Some of you think George Bush is the stupidest person ever to be born, yet you want his government to control livelihood. Others of you think Nancy Pelosi is an utter idiot, yet you want her government to be in charge of your money. What gives Kerry or Thompson or Edwards or Obama or Romney or Clinton any special insight into your lives that you feel they are capable of running it better than you can yourself.[/i]
The choice isn't between Bush or you handling your money. It's between Enron, McDonalds, Wallmart etc and Bush it stands between.
Its a pity that they posted it to youtube, you can't download from there Offtopic but: You can download movies from youtube try video downloader for firefox
I can't understand what the fuzz is all about. Sure NK isn't the most pleasant country in the world but it's their right to get nukes if they so wishes. They aren't members of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty so why can't they have their nukes?
I didn't see this when Pakistan, India and Israel got their nukes. I'd say all three of thoose nations are more likely to use their nukes.
What worries me is that, at some point, the Russian government wasn't...
What worries me is that the us has elected a complete moron for president, a retard with a red button is scary. (If said red button is not just a toy button that makes a beeping sound and the retard smile)

Yeah, and you know the name of the journalist.
While true you journalists are allowed to not give out their sources in most cases, the difference here is that with a blog you can write yourself and don't have to go through a news paper who may, or may not, put their spin on it.
Of course this is great news for classical media.
Did you hear the sound of swoooosh after you hit submit, or was it too high over for you to hear the sound?

If you knew as much as you pretend to you wouldn't need someone at your root prompt. :-P
And also, if you knew as much as you pretend you wouldn't give a random person root.
I was thinking about later, and I realized...
I made my donation today. Please, please, please make yours.
How would this in any way prove they have a database of that? It's not at all unlikely they do (if for nothing else to see what type of customers they have) but you are aware of that when you call out they do know who you're calling, and there's nothing stopping them from putting you in said database at that point.
You don't have to be american to be interested in the eff
You don't have to be American to be on the terrorist watch list

It's totally allowed, unfortunately. Media companies have been dealing with this crap for centuries.
Welcome back from the future. Can you also tell us about what the automobile industry has been doing for centuries?
How would he be a shallow player if he was ready to move to Korea to play a 10 years old game with crappy graphics?
It's just as unwise to trust him as it is to trust $corporatePrMan.

You obviously missed the part of the post saying in most civilized countries
