  1. Re:They've gotta do something to get people there. on A Night in the Hotel of the Future · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The oil refinery there is tiny, it's a joke. The guys in Texas City would have a good laugh. And the proximity to LAX is a plus for business, not a minus. El Segundo also actually has a train stop, not that the train actually goes anywhere you'd want to go. Too bad the taxi drivers defeated the attempt to connect the train to LAX, it might actually be useful.

    More importantly, what's the race of the reporter writing the story? If it's not "caucasian", then omissions and errors of this sort should be forgiven in the name of newsroom diversity.

    They receive plenty of aid. The aid is "misappropriated" (fancy word for stolen) by the government/military (they're pretty much the same thing) while the people are left to, literally, starve.

    VIM also sucks if all you want to do is edit a damn text file. Too much crap everywhere, all colored different. Is it OK if I edit a single html file without triggering all sorts of wierd modes?

    Oh, I agree. North Korea spends way too much of its national output on its military, especially during a famine. Its welfare spending is actually negative, in that it receives vast amounts of food aid from abroad, in excess of that which it needs to feed its own people.

    And you say the North Korean Communists are just about the same as the collective Western democracies? Man, were you one of those people who thought the Soviet Union was the land of revolution and the last, best hope for mankind?

    Point of fact, there are some countries, France chief among them, who base their entire foreign policy on automatically opposing the United States. You can bet that these opponents would surely attempt to thwart any U.S. interventions in Africa. In addition, France in particular considers large regions of Africa within its spehre of interest, and would rabidly oppose a great increase in U.S. power anywhere near those areas.

    Yeah, it's what you can afford. There are people who can't afford that. Get out of your cloistered environment and deal with it.

    Well, the fact that North Korea publically admitted having nuclear weapons might sway your opinion a bit. Eh, probably not. Leftists have a way of putting blinkers on that would put Creationists to shame.

    You mean they replicated 1940s U.S. technology? Wow.

    "insufficiant will to feed the masses" sure puts a happy face on years of tyranny resulting in mass deaths.

    Oh, the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea has no problem keeping the lights on at its military bases. It's the civil population that suffers. The DPRK military hoards food shipments for itself instead of distributing it to the people. But hey, the mass starvation in North Korea can hardly be laid at the feet of the ruling Communist government. Let's all repeat together - "IT'S AMERICA'S FAULT!"

    So in other words, massive amounts of cash were still needed. Instead of your parents, your government took money from other people and gave it to you so you could have a good time overseas. Rock on, man.

    You're probably thinking of an American Nimitz-class nuclear carrier, with its 5 acres of deck space and 5,000 crew. This one is WWII-vintage, and not quite so large. It's actually quite small, by aircraft carrier standards.
