Wrong. Since when did an American become a stakeholder? I'm not referencing the true definition rather than calling your post bullshit. A "stakeholder" can make decisions about their future; moreso than a shareholder can.
Well, I'm relatively sure that US spammers are not advertising in South Africa for penis enlargers....but I wouldn't put it past them. Anything for a buck.
Believe it or not there are ethics courses out there that students MUST take from accredited schools in order to graduate; I know....I've taken them. Apparently they don't mean much to certain people. The courses I took were historical, up to date and factual accounts of the misbehavings of companies like Enron (not in my time frame, but similar). What specific individuals take away from these courses should be part of an exit exam for these graduates. It sure seems to becoming more important each day.
"Likewise we who hire people to fill roles in our government should judge them on their performance in the role, not because we like or dislike them personally." You mean like getting a blowjob from an intern while president while talking on the phone? Shit, I want THAT job. Hell, I wouldn't even care if my wife knew. Apparently it's a best selling book afterwards, as well. Even the wife would get a book deal....how ironic. I'm in the wrong business.
Jesus Christ...you sound like something out of the Godfather...."Business is business and it's not that I'm insulting you 'Fredo, but, BANG!". Hey, it was only family, right? Not personal; just business. Then they all go to church and pretend to be good little Catholics.....what a farce. No offense intended against Catholics or FFC; especially if you've ever had a familly member "offed".
So what do we do now? Provide "spam rehabilitation"? That particular attempt at social engineering doesn't work, either. No, I think nice long prison terms work just fine. It may not stop the influx of newcomers but it makes society feel much better knowing that the assholes got their comeuppance; and I'm part of that society....like it or not. Personally, I feel the death penalty wouldn't be out of line here but there are too many pro-life junkies out there to condone electric death because of electronic correspondence. Oh well, the planet still turns, I guess. How ironic.
Right.....and if it's on opensecrets.org or in a valid Google search, it must be true...right? Thank God for the internet, where else wuold I get my 100% true factoids?
I, for one, am glad you're a European and have no say in the matter. I CAN contribute money to a campaign and your stated opinion just doubled my contribution. Thanks!
Women have that effect on ALL men (homosexuals exempt); geek or not. However, in the immortal words of Sam Kinison: "It's either that or suck a big dick; thanks God....thanks for the big menu down here!"
I know....it's called "progress". I hate when that happens.....especially in Khazingtibnul or some other obscure state that demands world rights based on a history of oppression. UN......WAHOOOO!
They don't really "retire" a chip, they just re-name it. The last phase of chip production is testing. Since the manufacturing of a chip does not guarantee a certain speed, they need to test it before they label it. Seems kinda' backwards, but that's the way it is.

"Just don't use Windows or IE"......now THERE'S something new for slashdot. Sheesh
The 'significant research' in that case was even arriving at the destination; which was a monumental feat. We had to find out first if we could, rather than if we should. I, personally, don't view being the first on the moon and collecting moon rocks a one man adventure nor do I consider it a small step. If the man collecting those rocks for the very first time in history wants to have a little fun by jumping around or swinging a golf club, so be it. The end result was still the same. By today's standards you're correct; however this was not the case in 1968. The flight team was not there to perform any major research projects...just to show the world (more specifically Russia) that it could be done. The rest was left up to our future, which is where we are today.

Godspeed Mr. Doohan. You'll be missed....regardless of some of the responses in this post.
Hey...take that back!!! Damn 'yungins

...or does MS REALLY over-use the words "royalty free"? Sounds fishy from the git-go.

I believe that number should be 99.68%; just to be statistically correct.

Here go my mod points but proprietary IS profitable, right MS?

So there's a known "screw-up" but they release it anyway. Hmmm, sounds familiar.
I don't know if you've been into a Target store recently but their prices are NOT competitive with Wal-Mart; better quality maybe but not competitive.
Batman did.

Wow. that was really philosphical....really.
I'm still looking for games in the Sega Genesis section. Crap.
ooooff, even better. I guess we're breaking the sound barrier on pro-creation.
