What they don't realise though, is that people living in said Third World countries actually aren't stupid, despite American white supremacist myopia to the contrary. As IBM impersonates Ganesha and gradually generates an affluent middle class in Bangalore, eventually labour unions, and labour laws, are going to start springing up there as well. Indian society has been undergoing reform for a while now, and as the caste system is erroded to a progressively greater degree, Indians will start announcing that they no longer want to work in sweatshops either, and then what is a poor megacorp to do?;)
That's when they move to the next 3rd world hellhole.
If you have a large population of men without women, they're going to want more women. The most obvious way to get them is to kill some of the other men and take their women. Especially considering that many of the places that value men more than women aren't the most civilized to begin with.
One difference is that in Windows (pre-Vista or probably Vista with UAC turned off), you don't even have to give a password to run nakedbritteny.exe. nakedbritteny.sh or nakedbrittany.dmg do require a password, which means some of the less stupid won't run it.
You are going to be lucky to have running water in your house in another 10 years let alone decent roads to drive on.
Heh! My city has a lot of beautiful fountains, and there was serious talk of leaving them turned off this year to save money. Yeah, fountains are a far cry from house water, but it's still disturbing.
(Its astonishing the number of people that have [for instance] Yahoo as their home page, and I tell them to go to a specific page address and instead of typing the address into their browser's address bar they *search* for that address in Yahoo - like calling information to ask what the number for 911 is [999 for you UK folk] )
Which is why Safari's support of Google matters. You or I might type "www.bing.com" in the address bar, but Mr. Sixpack might not even think of going anywhere but the "Google bar" (will IE users call it the "Bing Bar"?).
I feel like I'm just tweeting into the ether. And I have little or no interest in the various tweets floating around. Most regular blogs suck. So do streams of tweets.
I know several people who don't have internet, and several others who don't have reliable internet. It's certainly not 100% yet, especially in poorer areas.

Except for them popping into your cube in person. That, IMO, is even worse than a phone call.
But even they have to fool people into thinking they serve.
Yeah, and IIRC, Florida was very upset about that.
Good communications has always been a tool for political change. And in Iran, Twitter is the best communication they have, scary as that may be.
In most of the world, blonde & blue eyes = pale skin = sunburns and skin cancer. Unless I lived in Minnesota, I'd rather have darker kids.

I once wrote one that stored my finances in 16 bit ints. The sad thing is that it actually worked.
That might be the scariest thing I've read yet!

Not true. Clearly, WHO gives a shit.

The way he drives, I thought he was Stevie Wonder.
When I was in school, Pluto was still a planet, and nobody heard of a Kuiper Belt.
It was so bad, even I couldn't stand it.
1. It has a catchy name. Binging your mama sounds even cooler than googling her.
2. MS is throwing a lot of bling at bing.
We weren't talking about germ cultures!
I can get that with my Tivo.
I haven't really used Hulu much, but from what I saw, it's not really worth paying for.
My own TV time has certainly dropped. These days, I'm more likely to be online instead of plopped in front of the TV.

The problem is, they'd probably take one look at your neighborhood and decide that Gitmo wasn't as bad as they thought.
I would believe that it had no ADDITIONAL hardware/software for that. Just the standard hardware/software will do the job. *adjusts tinfoil hat*
