I agree totally, but then Arabs are denigrated as terrorists, whereas the Israelis are not. I don't think much of either side, I was just objecting to the statement that most terrorists are Arabs.
"We're getting all sorts of calls from technology head-hunters asking if we have openings,"
Not the sort of question I'd ask a pornographer, but there you go.
How do you know how good Halo for the X-box is? I'm tired of hearing about how great the X-Box is. It isn't great. It might be, but no-one will know until it's released. Don't believe the hype, just wait and see, or else you might end up being badly disappointed.
More Arabs have died at the hands of the Israelis than vice--versa, in actions such as shelling refugee camps, sponsored by the anti-terrorists of the West.
Does it though? I doubt that the average sweatshop worker's lifestyle has changed a great deal, the grind is working 13 hours a day, seven days a week in appalling conditions. Although globalisation is claimed as the removal of trade barriers, what it is is large corps making sure that governments don't get in the way of making huge profits.
Did you know, for example, that one of the provisions of the FTAA is to allow corporations to take national governments to court if any law they inact hits profits? Nice - I wish I had as much right to misbehave as corporations do.
Liberalisation of laws should be for the benefit of everyone, not just those wanting the right to cut labour costs by abusing people in appalling poverty, most of it as a result of western policy over the past 200 years.
Truth is subjective. Just listen to Dubya lying through his teeth at the Globalisation Conference today, and the media presenting it as 'truth'. Same conglomerates as the RIAA.
You missed my point, which is that most of Europe (apart from the UK, which is a crime-ridden hole) doesn't have anything like the crime rate of the USA. Yet citizens of these countries don't need to carry guns around in order for this to be the case. Perhaps it would be a better idea to find out why this is, rather than handing out guns to just anyone.
But the corporatization of the internet is only partially to blame. More of the blame falls on the EU: who would've thought that banding the nations of Europe together in one bureaucratic machine could do so much harm to human civilization? Like the internet, sovereignty was once decentralized and redundant across many pathways. Now, a single marching order can come from Brussels and there'll be a third world war.
What the hell are you talking about? Please explain this statement.
AFAIK violent crime is a great deal lower in Europe (apart from the UK) than the US and yet getting a gun is quite an onerous process, compared to the US. I'd rather live in a country where violent crime is rare than have to buy a gun because every drug-crazed mugger has one too.
Of course. When in doubt, blame the unions, as if there could possibly be any other reason, such as shit wages and aggravation from parents, students and the media. Perhaps if teachers were left to do their job then perhaps they would do a better one.
I've got to point out that Scandinavia is very much like this, and it's nice in a way, to be able to live in a country where crime is so low that people are not really aware of it, especially in the UK, where you have to think about where you park your car or where you walk, and you can't leave your windows of your house open when you're not there.
MS consistently bashes their competition, and some people feel the need to respond. Go to microsoft.com and bask in the glow of marketing zealotry at it's finest (I love the bit about interoperability - it's a hilarious lie). Linux zealotry has died down a lot in the past 18 months. A duff ZDNet article provokes more laughter than fury nowadays.

Market cap has nothing to do with the quality of a product. Next you'll be saying Fords are better than Porsches.

Please don't talk about beating bushes, I'm already double-entendre'd out.
One that has a crap business plan, spends all it's money in 18 months and then blames the slowdown in the economy for the inevitable bankruptcy.
He's also got a diary at Kuro5hin.
Root access on a porn site. Watch out for an invasion of young men sporting backpacks and saying 'Strewth!'. Oh wait, that happens everywhere.

That's what happens when you have a monopoly that makes GUI software.
Please don't feed the trolls.

Offtopinc in what way?

my ass. Parrotting the company line is not insightful, Mr Crack-smoking Moderator.

I'm curious. How does having a concealed firearm stop someone from robbing you at gun point and then shooting you in the face?
Like what?
Bullies are like hyenas - they rarely prowl alone. Get one busted and you have to deal with their friends as well.
