Example: Shooting someone is illegal, yet you go out into times square and shoot someone in the face. A cop comes out and looks at the dead guy, looks at you, and sort of shrugs and walks off. Do you feel like you broke the law? What if you do it every day before work, and eventually a cop says "Hey, maybe it'd be a good idea to stop shooting people". Did you break the law then?
Cheney didn't break a law shooting that guy in the face. Remember? That guy apologized to Cheney for putting his face in the way. No laws were broken.
I've been in a few countries, and I drink a lot of beer, and I love Anchor Steam. Sierra Nevada is crap. A lot of US microbreweries are run by potheads who only use hops.
Little Creatures (Western Australia) is great. If it ever gets sold here, I'd like to try it, but I don't have high hopes. A lot of beers don't travel well. Something about tossing 'em in a ship and sending 'em to the US destroys the taste. The hot and cold cycles, I reckon.
Speights (New Zealand) sends crap to the US, but I really enjoyed it when I toured the brewery in Dunedin. But they make it different there. The crap Speights is brewed in Auckland and that's what they send us.
I'm riding round the world on a 40 year old motorcycle. It doesn't provide enough power to recharge a laptop. I want to use things that run off AA batteries. AAs are available everywhere.
I asked the same basic question you asked on slashdot a few years ago. Through a recommendation, I bought a Psion through this guy. It's working out great. The keyboard is small but it's complete and way easier than typing with a stylus.
The Psion saves onto a CF card that can be loaded onto a computer at an internet cafe, so I can write my blog on the road and update it when I can. It has an RSS feed and can download email, but I haven't played with those options.
Canon makes good AA digital cameras. I'm using a Powershot A85. Don't get one with an LED that twists because that's one more thing to break. It's the same CF card that my Psion uses, and I bought a few cards. Once in a while, I save all the pics onto a CD and send 'em home. Plus, through the magic of gmail, I can email them to myself.
Oligonicella, you're the one being ignorant. The same thing that iminplaya pointed out. People can move food anywhere in the world, and it's usually rotting at the docks of the country going through a famine.
Drought does not cause human death anymore. Greed is what causes it. When famine is caused by a drought, food is brought in, but distribution is lacking. Human suffering and death is caused by political-economic situations.
As far as infant mortality, the United States has the second worst newborn mortality rate in the developed world. We have the money but once again, the infrastructure isn't there. We top out at the most amount of doctors, but greed, in this case, the high financial costs, triumphs.
Sure a BA isn't a BS, but a bachelors degree in anything requires more than taking a 101 class.
People don't die because of droughts. The food is there. It's greed causing the lack of infrastructure that kills 'em.
Hunters and gatherers "work" way less than you. 20 hours a week is the number that comes to mind, but it has been 10 years since I picked up my BA in Anthropology.
When I'm overseas and someone asks where I'm from (usually after guessing Canada because I brush up a little on history of the country I'm in), I say, "California". I rarely hear anti-US comments with that answer.
Sure, a lot of US tourists say, "Canada" because no one is mad at them, but I'm willing to take my lumps.
California also still has a small town that you can't call a number directly. You have to go through an operator just like in Mayberry.
It's in the hills and cell phones don't work there. The phone company won't upgrade because there's not enough of a population for them to care. Damn, I can't think of the name of the place. Article in the Sacramento Bee about 5 years ago.
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.1 on 2000pro and just checked the Walmart site. No problem at all. I found they sell "Idiocracy" for $18 and change.
Not that I shop at Walmart because I'm one of those "support small business" types. Has anyone else with Firefox, Safari, Opera and other browsers tried going to the Walmart site?
That would explain why the old place I worked for (bought up by an Ohio based company), tried that trick in California. It's not legal here, and they had a claim filed with them with the labor board for that shenanigan. Ended up paying time and a half for the employees who left.
Yeah, I use a different place to register domains (pairnic) and I wanted to give Google a chance to see what they're like. I've never had a problem forwarding domain names.
I *assume* the GoDaddy people were in the US (or they had great accents). I easily got ahold of someone, and this was right before Xmas. I then got bounced up to a supervisor or two, and they said, "If this was a GoDaddy domain it works this way, and at this point, we'd just set it up for you. But you don't technically own the domain name. It's Google, and we aren't allowed to touch it". At least GoDaddy has really good hold music.
All my emails to Google are automated. I can't get a response. Argh.

Google is tarnishing their image with the "buy your domain through us" thing. Check out the google boards and read the many responses from people with problems.
I bought a domain for a friend as an Xmas present. I wanted to forward it to a blog (blogspot, which is owned by google). No go. Can't get an answer out of google, it's automated. I just want to cancel it and re-register the domain with another company. Google used GoDaddy for registration, and GoDaddy said they can't help me because the domain I bought is owned by Google. Sheesh.
It drove me up a wall and I'll end up letting the domain sit blank for a year and then expire and die.
$10 for the domain and 1 hour 15 minutes on the phone being bounced around GoDaddy. When Google really decides to go evil, we're all doomed. Doomed, I tells ya'. Doomed.
Where do you get the idea that South Koreans hate the US? All the South Koreans I've met, like the US. That's not just including South Koreans who've immigrated to the US, that's South Korean tourists.
I think you've confused "US" with "Japan". Many Asian countries are still pissed that Japan won't apologize for anything they did in WWII (when they saved other Asian Countries from "Western Influence").
The Asian countries, like many other countries, can defend themselves without the US and/or UN involvement. But militarizing space isn't a good idea. Colonizing the moon is fine, and it might be another country that gets there before the US. I know that colonization means military involvement, but hopefully we can get around that this time.

Same thing with my original 5 digit slashdot number. 31???. Hellifiknow what my email was back in the hotbot and lynx days.

Firefox 2.0.0.3 on 2000 Pro.
The image "http://www.danamania.com/temp/dontloadthis.jpg" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
It brings up the magnifying glass which does nothing.
My main domain, nokilli.com, shows up around $20,000 after hitting refresh a few times. Crazy. I'd say this site isn't accurate.
OpenID means you can comment on other people's blogs/pages without getting a log-in or doing so anonymously.
Oh, yippee!!! More comments from an ex-girlfriend that I'm a "pregnant cow".

If one was wrong about that, the judge wouldn't have been sentenced to jail.
It was a sad day for me when the Abe Vigoda: Dead or Alive monitor quit working. I liked the Abe face in the corner.

I sent an envelope full of tiny monkeys to someone for my invite.
Plastic monkeys. Ateles paniscus plasticus.
Lastly, shouldn't that headline read: Woman's Right to Criticize Surgeon on Website upheld
The Sacramento Bee has the headline, "Woman wins right to attack her plastic surgeon on the Web".
Attack? What the hell?
What is Skypes bad history?
Yes, because cops know the law. That's why they arrested the guy at Best Buy for spending a 2 dollar bill.
That would explain why the old place I worked for (bought up by an Ohio based company), tried that trick in California. It's not legal here, and they had a claim filed with them with the labor board for that shenanigan. Ended up paying time and a half for the employees who left.

That would be "fun" if they arrested Sony executives about the rootkit.
I think if they went after someone huge like that, this case would be dismissed in a heartbeat.
SAAB = GM
Volvo cars = Ford
Texas plants are GM and Toyota, I believe.
