Buddhist? where did you get that information? The CIA fact book? There is no predominantly Buddhist countries anywhere in Latin America. Chile is a mostly Catholic country and that information is irrelevant anywhere. Chances are however that the computers installed in the data centre will be build by Buddhist people somewhere in Asia. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religions_by_country) shows that the percentage of Buddhist in Chile is 0.04%
Not evil, but the little monster has no choice on whayt is being done to him. Some religious nut just decides to perform an archaic ritual based on the ridiculous misconception that an alleged diety finds it favourable.
You should be able to sue when products you have paid for are faulty. The previous comment states clearly "I use open souorce. It has a much smaller number of bugs", obviously there is no claim about absence of bugs there. Also, the value of a settlement should not be related to what you have paid for the product, but what damage was produced by the negligence of the organization that produced the product in question. Paying for goods or services implies a level of expectation that does not exist when you receive something for free.
Lets imagine Let’s imagine an hypothetical country that wants to invade another country that is suspected of developing and manufacturing weapons. All they will need with this system would be some hacking to “verify” that this other country (let’s call it Iraq) has chemical, biological and nuculear weapons (If they are real or not is an entirely different matter)
I have been working in the IT industry for over twenty years and I have never actually used calculus nor anything closely related, however when you are studying mathematics, you are doing much more than that. Your brain is being trained to think in a specific way, you are becoming analytical and realize the relationships between abstract concepts. Such way of thinking cannot be achieved by accident, your brain needs to be trained and needs to exercise in that way if you want to become a creative person that will be able to handle the requirements of working in IT.
Not so bad?
Why don't we go and destroy 10% of the productive land in the US with poisonous chemicals and in the process, poision several million people while killing a few more millions just to have fun and then you tell me is not too bad.
That is the kind of thinking that has been producing a schooling system of mediocre, self centered, ignorant and arrogant people that are under the impression they are superior to everyone else. People that imagine that it is OK to ge and take anything from another country by force (Mainly petrol these days) just because you have more and bigger guns. People of the US, you better be worried. Your economy is falling to pieces, the rest of the world looks at you with contempt and everyone is better educated and smarter than you are. Right now your space program is the laughin stock of mankind while the Chinese are getting out there doing things you can only dream about. If a US astronaut goes to space these days, it is in a Soyus capsule. Grow a brain, if you get something without making a serious effort, you won't keep it for long.
In a world with over seven billion people and only eight hundred million facebook users, we have six billion two hundred thousand "suspicious" characters. I'm sure most of them are not in the US. Perhaps we should also make more ridiculous claims here. I have one. If you do not speak English, you are a communist. If you are not white, you are an "enemy combatant". If you are a Muslim, you should be sent to Guantanamo. Tell who ever wrote this to put some stem cells in a petri dish and grow neurones!
I can see that you miss the point. In the IT industry, you are EXPECTED to work unpaid overtime, you are EXPECTED to take work home and even though you may be legally allowed to take holidays, quite often the IT managers tell you that you can not take them when you wanted because there is not enough staff to cover the shifts (That means the manager wants to take holidays on the same period)

So an ipad is as powerful as a 30 year old computer, big deal......
All your base belong to us
I fully agree, it takes brains, imagination and ability to think abstractly. On the other hand, I think you are lacking in your documentation skills
I would say that it is a good thing......
Or are the rats being sent to the atic?

To the moderator that has marked my previous comment as being "Off topic", please familiarize yourself with the Borg
You don't seem to understand the difference between a human being and a foetus. Read a book
Resistance is futile
Because I have been told that Sun Microsystems was lots of tiny hot balls of fire.....

When a country invents lies to start a war, I see no difference between war and murder

Also, they just had the biggest power outage in the planet history a few days ago....
Someone will have to manufacture the six million phones, batteries, sim cards and power adapters.....
Congratulations to you, for missing the point that the murderous actions of the US government are nothing to joke about.

In a planet with over seven billion people, that is not even 0.01%

Please let me know where that is. I'll send my resume....

I do not think you understand the meaning of the word "sarcasm"
