You, and those who modded you up, are completely retarded. Your military strength means nothing, any war of magnitude between China and the US will utterly fuck up the entire world including the US. Unless your willing for that to happen your military is useless as a threat until such a point such major consequences is better than what you currently have. The US wont even attack a backwater like North Korea who is hated because your scared of China and the potential nukes in North Korea.
While MS can be blamed for many things don't forget the manufactures also, is it win7 fault your machine locks or shitty drivers provided for your sound card etc? I run win7ultimate64 with Intel SSD and the only problems I have had was after upgrading my gfx card games would stutter and every so often huge drop in frame rates, installing newer beta version nvidia drivers cleared it up.
IMHO Being a vastly older country UK towns tend to be "mishapen" or even circular unlike the simple grid/block system that is so common un the US, and yes it can be very hard to spot road signs. To e blunt our towns/cities just were not planned well from the start and now grown too large to fix them. As a Brit who has been driving in the US multiple times, visiting an unknown area is far easier in the US than the UK..
With whites in power no mass rapes and killing also they were not starving like now, as often mentioned they went from Africas breadbasket to basket case.
Thats just facetious, if people have a genuine need for a 4x4 or some other large power hungry vehicle so be it, but mom taking junior to school or doing your daily commute to work does not require a V8.
I dunno, I think the lot of them saw that if they changed their style they made a lot more money...Wouldnt just blame Fergie..Theres deff a certain formula that seems to be getting followed with a lot of todays hit songs.
Jesus I cant believe how many people seem to leave aircon on during the day while at work etc, what exactly is the reason for this?? I am a UK expat living in Thailand...Thailand gets extremely hot and pushes 100% humidity regularly so aircon is wonderful however I only ever cool rooms im actually using and only when people are in the house, as does everyone else I know...
If you cant stand being hot for even 30 mins while the rooms cool down can you not at least put things on timers to cool it before you get home from work??
"A director of the Finnish telecommunications giant, Nokia, has received what is believed to be the most expensive speeding ticket ever.

Perhaps you didnt realise oil got down to $10 in 1998....I was working for a large oil company at the time....we just kept on pumping it even if it was making a loss at some of our locations prompting oil company mergers at the time....I dont think you realise just how cheap it is for the major OPEC countries to pump oil either, were talking $2 a barrel as its so easy for them to get to it.
There seems to be a huge number of people on here who dont realise that there are water problems out there...yes even in America, so this is one time you cant just ignore it.
points out some of the issues. Water is something that will be causing wars in the future as countries sitting on the same major rivers fight for its resource. YES you can waste water, what comes out of the tap does not just go straight back into usable water and fall as rain.
" - The Colorado River Reservoir System will not be able to meet all of the demands placed on it -- including water supply for Southern California and the inland Southwest -- because reservoir levels will be reduced by more than one-third and releases by as much as 17 percent. The greatest effects will be on lower Colorado River Basin states. All users of Colorado River hydroelectric power will be affected by lower reservoir levels and flows, which will result in reductions in hydropower generation by as much as 40 percent.
- In the Central Valley of California, it will be impossible to meet current water system performance levels so that impacts will be felt in reduced reliability of water supply deliveries, hydropower production and instream flows. With less fresh water available, the Sacramento Delta could experience a dramatic increase in salinity and subsequent ecosystem disruption. "
I recently made the switch from Windows XP to SUSE...I have ran FreeBSD boxes as servers but decided to go with something different on my main machine. Tried Redhat ages ago and didnt find it was for me, tried Debian and after it failed to recognize my hardware decided to drop it instantly (after trying it on a virtual machine didnt like the install procedure either), then tried SUSE and was sold instantly...
I still run Win XP as dual boot for games and Dreamweaver (tried some KDE editors but hated them) but now use SUSE 99% of the time...have Crossover to run a couple of financial trading programs tho.
Honestly tho main reason for switch was my generated XP keys kept being rejected so I couldnt update windows;)
What complete B.S...You are deluding yourself with your complete ignorance of history if you think that the Russians could have won the war single handedly and that their part was just a piece of a collective effort that was fought on so many different fronts it was unreal. If the Germans had not been fighting on the 2nd front the Russians could not have managed all that they did. Thus no ONE country won the war, each country played a part in holding off the German war machine (the finest ever war machine). One of Russias major contributions was millions of men fed to the machineguns due to their huge population. Considering all the fronts and sheer numbers German Axis were fighting against shows just how much better their war machine was in contention to the Allies (including the US), on a 1:1 basis the Allies would surely have never won.
Yes ofcourse its fair that things should be paid for...To that end, I wish the "Remember we saved your asses in WW2" comments would stop, we all paid for your help, it wasnt just given from the goodness of your hearts, you profited greatly from it so we are even.
Lend-Lease was the program outlined by the Neutrality Acts that allowed the United States to provide Allied nations with defense supplies without actually going to war with the Axis powers. The U.S. gave Lend-Lease aid to Great Britain, the USSR, China, and over 30 other nations. By 1945, when the war ended, the U.S. had lent out over $45 billion in supplies. By 1960 almost the entire debt was repaid, except for the Soviet Union's debt. However, the U.S. and the USSR came to an agreement in 1972, by which the USSR were to pay back the $722 million debt in installments through the year 2001.
USA badly wanted to stay out of the war and simply profit off of arms sales. USA being the only country to come out of WW2 richer than when it started.
I agree...add to the fact we actually PAID the Americans for their assistance also....we got no free rides from our Yank Buddies and it took a helluva long time to pay it all off but we did. Your help was bought and paid for after you decided to join in late...be thankful we held them off as long as we did otherwise you may have found the US was being blitzzed into the ground before your morning chewing tobacco was all used up.
"Think of the spam that will be eliminated because we disconnect the internet from the rest of the world... No more zombie china computers relaying spam..."
That has been shown most spam originates from USA spammers using the machines in China to relay...so yes, cut off America and watch the spam fall!!
Followed by Dutch eras, china eras, Japanese eras.....China has no real claim to Taiwan bar saying "its ours" at some point in time...as with all border changes years ago, those who could defend it kept it. Now their just trying to regain something they still think belongs to them. Now its just about national pride and that dreaded asian cultural aspect of "face".
Think about it more....what if they just want to make sure they can keep selling to FireFox users by taking away the "security blanket" FireFox users think they have? The Microsoft market is not going to disapear...but the market of users using other products needs to be/remain tapped.
Then why when IE bugs are found do Linux zealots tout the virtues of Firefox etc as more secure as it has/had less bugs!? You guys have to make your mind up if more found = good or bad!!!
"due to the design of the infastructure, and the placement of essential services"
Exactly...and if gas was more expensive to begin with you would have been more efficient with your land use...
America has lived large off of cheap gas, but dont expect people to feel sorry for you when America struggles with its wide spread infrastructure in the future...The rest of us just see those complaining as spoilt children who are now having to share their toys.
