You don't need to resort to excessive violance. Don't you wonder why that lousy theather soda cost you three time as much? You guess it, you're granted the right to pour it on these bastards!

Turn off your cell phone now, or you'd be automatically revoked the right to reject anybody from pouring soda on your head when you try to use it.

Yes, but unless there a good political/military excuse we can't prevent India from raising/establishing tariff barrier/ban on other US imports for retribution. That'd hurt US trading more than it gains.
US is a well-known international victim of import-tariff(look at how bad the deals with Japans), therefore US govt dare not interfere international trades like that.:)
In Sudan there are about 2 millions landmines remaining, and there are more than 700,000 landmines victims since WWII.
"The average citizens wouldn't know a hack if it walked up and bit them," Sweeney said. "And many of the so-called landmines require a very specific event to occur and the odds are very slim that it will occur. "
Idiot. People care about the security problems is like Sudan's citizens care about landmines problems. The fact that majority of them are not victims doesn't mean it's safe out there.

Hmm, not that I heard of, but there's a case Microsoft was accused for suggesting in its Encarta 96 Encyclopedia that part of ancient Korea was ruled by Japan, and for a Spanish- language thesaurus that offered "savage" and "man-eater" as synonyms for the word "Indian."
I think I remember a slashdot a while back on some eastern block country using a 800 in a hospital. Really can't think of what one could be used for.
If my memory served 400/800 was produced way before Apple I was being popular(Note, 800 not 800 XL. XLs were made after Apple I), and they were almost the best/cost desktop computer you could find at time. (except Commodore, but it was not as popular as Atari in my area) Btw, I'm quite worried about the patients there when the hospital is still using 800s. Well, at least they won't have Blue Screen of Death, but they might get Colorful Flashy Funny Characters Screen of Death.:)

800 was my dream machine. It came with a real typewriter type keyboard, not that cheap touchpad kind you found in 400. Mine has 16K RAM(yeah), and yours has what...48K RAM right? But there aren't much apps that can't run on 400(though were the days). My grade school actually had a couple of them for wordprocessing needs. 2600 has no keyboard at all, but you could buy one for it, and there's really wordprocessor for 400 and 2600.:)
And 800 has two cartidge slots instead of one. I'm not sure beside saving time swtiching games to Microsoft basic there's any need of two slots....can you enlighten me?:)

Same to Pac-Man for Atari 2600. I owned both version of Pac-Man for Atari 2600 and Atari 400, and the latter is almost exactly like the one we found in acade shop. My family and my relatives liked the 2600 version for its simplicity. The sound was not that awful as described, at least it's not as noisy. Most people at time found the original Pacman difficult to play, thus made this 'simplified' version of Pacman popular. There are countless titles of games in 2600 were actually simplified versions of those in acade for that huge market of family home video games. Of course, technological limitation in 2600 is also a major factor.:)
Then they decided to change course requirements so that they no longer offered courses that were required for graduation.
What will happen to you? Forever paying school fee with no hope of graduation? Why paying for endless torment without purpose? Are you posting from Hell?

How about this one? Frankly I know not much about them, but according to their unsolicited letters sent to all small and medium companies, they claims to be a non-profit organization which offers free audit for companies computer systems. They even request everybody assist in the auditing. How nice they are.
That's a lot! Black market price of a valid credit card no. with associated information(or a real stolen credit card) is around $10, that's $5,000,000 in total!!
with China rising hugely -- in the Linux sense -- right in the middle of it all.
Right on. Look at RedFlag Linux. It's backed by China Government, RedHat-based Linux distro.
In my opinion, China Government is no much an Open Source advocate, instead, MS forced them to take this path. I got some underground news when I worked for IBM around 94, when we completed each other developing a Chinese OS for Mainland China. The progress of the development our Chinese OS/2 was not as fast as Windows 95 because they outsourced their work to Taiwan and we've put comparatively too much effort on testing(I were one of the full-time tester in Asian region).
That was the biggest mistake MS has ever made.
As usual, MS pushed their first release of Simplified Chinese version of Win95 before thorough testing. To China Government dismay, they found that whenever they type the word 'Kung'(the first word of Communism in Chinese), the association helper immediate popup the word 'bandit' after it. 'Communist Bandit' is how Taiwanese called Communist party in Mainland China.
That was a really good prank the Taiwanese Developers made for China Government.:)
I've also been told that there's still a couple of nasty easter eggs hidden in this first release of OS(or Word/Excel?) that made fun of some lead people in communist party, that pissed them very much. Although MS had done everything to 'repair' the damage, but as a common practise of them "this shall not be forgiven."
RedFlag Linux may be the first major getback on MS.:)
Why are explosions in space circular and not spherical?
The circular shape you've seen is the hot gas emitted after a massive explosion. Normally the explosion of a star was spherically symmetric. Within the explosion core, higher density part will force the lower density part(gases) escape in a planar direction, provided that the force is uniform in all direction, which is commonly seen in massive explosion like supernova.

The major problem the IT business is facing is the programmers in general failed to follow what has been planned by management.

I don't know what their core values are, neither, but when we've made them, they should follow them precisely. Also, we've emphasis on the importance of COM(Customer Oriented Management) for years and even introduced 4P(Professionalism, Partnership, Proactiveness and Priority), but none of our programmers seemed to have followed them. Therefore, this year, we restated the nessacity of TCQM(Totally, Completely Quality Management) and our compliance with ISO 60002. Guess what, none of them understand a hell of them!
At the beginning of this year, I gave them one last chance and called for "paradigm shift" and "thinking out of the box", to my provokation all they could do is eating out of the box!

I hope they could at least re-organize, re-engineer or re-prioritize their code toward the heaven of total quality, but all they could raise up is to urge me to adopt some craps like design pattern! We are not running garment business God damn it.
