India - Horrendously corrupt political and criminal systems. Maybe your big development center will be shut down because your competitor paid several thousand rupies to a politician.
India - Buys very little from the US, and most dollars that go to India go there to build a competitor that my, ironically, eventually put companies like Oracle and Sun out of business. These companies are basically sponsoring their own demise.
Yeah, outsource your software development to India and pretty soon there is a competing product from... India.
How about the DOJ "punishment" in the MS antitrust case?

About half the time I thought it resembled X-Files more than anything, especially the part in Alaska. X-Files with a trademark Spielberg so-cute-you-wanna-puke child actor.
Too bad the aliens couldn't have save the mind of the Matt Frewer character onto the Internet....
I think so, I haven't turned it on in over 10 years.
Seriously though, I bought a Sony CD-RW drive and it crapped out within about 6 months of very light use. I replaced it with an HP. It sounds like a Buick on rims when it spins up, but it's still working.
How about this: The Bush administration has no qualms about stepping on the graves of the 9/11 victims to push their agenda, which includes all the sweetheart deals in the Homeland Security Act for big campaign contributors, like Eli Lilly.
BTW, I stole the Hitler reference from this article.
Well, it's not supposed to happen if you are a US citizen. But when that was mentioned in the John Walker Lindh case, Herr Ashcroft immediately said (paraphrasing) "Well, then we'll just strip him of his citizenship, then throw him in prison"
In case no one here noticed (and it appears no one has), the Lame [Duck] Congress just passed the Homeland Security Act. It was originally 35 pages when it was reviewed by committee. While the Congress was away for the election break, someone added another 453 pages of pure pork.
"An evil exists that threatens every man, woman and child of this great nation," the leader of another country once wrote. "We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland."
That was Adoph Hitler, writing about creation of the Gestapo in Nazi Germany.
You mean this Poindexter? The only one to do jail time for Iran-Contra? BTW, his conviction wasn't overturned in a court of law, he (and Ollie North et al) were pardoned by GHW Bush. So that means he was still guilty. The CIA (and Mossad, and probably most other "intelligence" organizations) routinely deal drugs to raise money for other operations - it wasn't limited to Iran-Contra.
As far as the CIA in the drug trafficking business, there have been plenty of links, including a major series in the San Jose Mercury News in the late 1990's, also this one. Further, the www.copvcia.com website is run by a former LAPD narc who saw it all from the inside.

Ionic wind farts smell worse than when my wife's dog eats a mostly rotten skunk.
What they didn't tell you was they also hooked up an artificial speech generator. What did the rat say?
How about 'sh'?
So, like, how do you debug your deep brain stimulator code?
Just wonwonwonwonwonwondering.
Santa Cruz Operation moved to Lindon, Utah?
That's gotta hurt.
Fibre to the pole?
BTW, what happens when the Ross ice shelf collapses?

Now try to enforce you contract.
A simple google and you would have discovered that his term as president was 1929-1933.
I think Hoover was a verb in the Great Depression.
Like:
Herbert Hoover: "Prosperity is just around the corner."
Bum: "Hey, Hoover this!"
Now I have to stop saying "Just say .NYET!".
there is no global warming.
Go figure.
I just ordered the shredding attachment for my HP printer. Just print and shred at the same time.

Wasn't Annabelle on that hosted movie show where they cooked a meal each time? It was on TNT or UPN or something.
I always thought Silicon Gulch predated Silicon Valley.
My point?

I guess these are for personal use.
I wonder if they can deflect Planet X (do a page search for "Planet X" or "Nibiru")?
Funny, I hadn't heard anthing about any reporters being arrested.

The thing I like about Slashdot is that I can say anything I damn well want to say...
that is, if I had anything to say.
