Come to Malaysia and Google would have a lot more Islamic propagandas ! When people do searches on Google on Osama Bin Laden, they would be inform that Osama is a Hero ! A Freedom Fighter ! A Saint !
But there's a catch... Malaysia will NEVER allow any Jewish content to be stored in Malaysia. Malaysia hates Jews ! If Google comes to Malaysia, when people do searches on Jews, all they will get is a picture of a rotten Jewish corpse.
Please, Google, Please Come to Malaysia !
Al Qaeda needs you ! Osama Bin Laden needs you ! UMNO needs you !
Malaysia will even provide Google with information on how to make IED, RSB and most importantly, how to make a Dirty Bomb, and how to smuggle it into the United States of America !
So, Google, Please ! Please, Please Come To Malaysia !
I live in Malaysia, a third world country where majority of the population aren't rich.
I am in charge of my church's computer recycling project - name is a little misleading since our main aim isn't recycle, but re-use, but anyhow - what I do is to disassemble the donated computers, test if the parts are still working (don't want to get people electrocuted - and then re-assembling the usable parts and make them into working (refurbished) computers.
There are lots of poor people out there, got children in schools, needing computers, but they just can't make ends meet (hence no money to buy computer for their schooling children) and they are our main source of refurbished computer takers.
However, I have now over 30 PC systems ready to go, but they are without hard drives.
People need to know that hard drives are among the most fragile part of the entire PC system, and yet there are so many people removing their still usable hard drives before dumping their old PC to us.
It's a grand shame really. If we can find working hard drives those 30+ PC, at least 30 more children get to learn with the aid of computers.
People, please, do NOT PULL OUT your hard drives when donating your PC to us. Thank you !
1. The US and China are spying against each others. Both are bad motherfuckers to the fullest extent.
2.The US isn't as poor as some have portrayed (this you got it right)
3. Your point about Japan barely register in the radar just isn't gonna jive with the REAL TRUTH.
4. This world isn't only measured in terms of population and/or wealth. Don't forget that most turmoils of human society has nothing to do with wealth and/or ethnicity, but rather, RELIGION, as evidenced in the WTC bombing, the slaughering of little children in Southern Russia, the Bali bombing, etc. And that aspect alone will altered, whether we like it or not, the world's outlook in the long-run.
6. With Rumsfeld's help, George W. Bush has fouled up almost everything, and that hurts the United States of America a lot, not only in image, but in the morale of the American as a whole. That doesn't work well with the global cut-throat competition that is happening all around us, in terms of commerce, technology, strength, believe system, and so on.
And finally...
7. Screwing around with facts and figures is easy, but to get the real facts out of everything isn't as easy as you think.
When the Taliban declared that there is only ONE GOD and it is their god that is valid, and that everyone must kow tow to their god, the rest of the world pooh-poohed.
While the rest of the world isn't looking, the taliban gained a lot of supporters. From Indonesia to Algeria, from the United States to France, cell groups of the Taliban mushroomed and multiplied.
The fundies, aka Republicrooks, noticed that trend, and saw that they have a fierce competitor. In order to win this race, the fundies decided to outdo the Talibans - to become MORE TALIBAN THAN THE TALIBAN .
If you can't fight them, join them
Declaring that the theory of Evolution as invalid is just the first step. There are more to come.
Why is the term for a space-going human different depending on the nationality of the person in question? U.S. space-farers are astronauts, Russians are cosmonauts, Chinese are taikonauts... This is stupid. What the hell does somebody's nationality have to do with anything?
If anything, space is the one place where everybody can be truly united -- political divisions don't seem to matter very much, when you're looking down at the entire Earth and see it for what it truly is -- a big rock in space that we all live on.
Leave this idiotic divisiveness down here. I think a great many wars could have been prevented if we'd shot the leaders of the opposing sides into space and let them look down on what they are really fighting over. So let's call it, in the interests of fairness, a taikosmastronaut, and leave it at that. No new terms. This is stupid.
I can't agree with you more with what you have said, but there's one thing that I'd like to point out - and that, if there is a space-race, it definitely wasn't started by the Chinese.
I also thought that recently there has been quite some crap oozing into Wikipedia
If that's the only problem, then we can find ways to deal with it.
The REAL problem is, some of those craps seems to be stuck with Wikipedia. They just can't be removed.
Take this example for instance, the text in is supplied and controlled by a biased party, - the Malaysian government.
The text in the above example has been so prettied up that, everyone reading the text would think that, "Oh, it's such a wonderful place !"
Well, the truth is far, FAR from that. But everytime when we tried to alter the above example to reflect the reality, it is altered back again.
And if we make too many attempts to alter, someone representing Wikipedia will warn us.
And if we keep it on, then, the whole record will be locked up, so that we can't change it anymore.
So, the question is, why Wikipedia is letting an obviously biased party controlling its content, - albeit a tiny part of it?
Why warn us, and sometimes even lock us out, when we only want to tell the truth?
If Wikipedia let keeps up this attitude, the end result is that it will forever be stuck with lies, and Wikipedia itself will become an instrument to spread lies.
You are right. It doesn't have to take a/. old-timer to be nauseated by those postings.
Unfortunately, these type of postings keep occuring in/. This is supposed to be a place for those interesting in tech and style, to educate and to be educated, to share with each others what one knows.... and so on.
Have been with/. ever since it started, and I'd have to say that I have no idea what/. would be like 10 years from now, if these type of postings keep on drowning out other meaningful messages.

The link that slashdot gave indicated that the titanium backed solarcell with CIGS is rated 15.6% while this link clearly stated that the CIGS has a 19.2% NREL rating.
According to Fluent.com's own pages, the software requires a minimum of 256 MB or RAM to run, under both the Linux and Windows. However, under Windows, it requires 35 MB of drive space for the software, and on the other hand, under Linux, the disk space requirement is 50-75 MB.
Does that mean Linux installation is more troublesome ?
Sauber Petronas can launch whatever supercomputer they want, but if they can't get top gradeed drivers such as Michael Schumacher, they won't be able to be the #1 team for Formula One.
Although computing power is extremely useful for the F1 race, it's the driver who makes the difference.
How many times has Michael Schumacher turned the situation around, owning to his quick wit and his superb skill ?
Unfortunately, also-run teams such as Sauber Petronas never learn the lesson. They kept thinking that technology will win the day.
We know that the Sauber team has a "rich daddy", its sponsor, Petronas Malaysia, has pumped BILLIONS into Sauber, and the money does make a difference - Sauber climbed from nobody to #3 or #4 in the team ranking.
The climb, although is encouraging, doesn't mean much, if its drivers keep crashing the cars. For the past 3 years, the Sauber Petronas drivers had had to drop out many, many times, due to car crashes.
How to grab the #1 spot if your driver can't even finish the race ?!

Things that are bad, are actually good.
It needn't take a book, and/or modern culture to know that.
Shit, for instance, is bad, and yet it's good, because if we don't shit, we all die.
No kidding !
If things don't work as planned, frustration crops in, and " SHIT !!! " is often the first word we utter.
Imagine a world without shit.
Imagine that we have to yell " Holy Moly Sweet Jelly Pie ! " everytime we hammer our own thumb instead of that damn nail.
Doesn't " SHIT !!! " sounds better ?

The sheer arrogance emitted from some posts are really not worthy of slashdot, and/or its readers/posters.
What China has done, - in terms of the Qinhai-Tibet rail-line, or its spacecraft, - is not better, nor worse, than those from other countries.
Do we see any comments like the
" Some of the images of the spacecraft look fake"
and
"and the ones that don't look fake show damage on the spacecraft"
and
"This just seems unsafe to me. Imagine something goes wrong and the train is stuck up at that altitude?"
and
"Well that seals the cultural genocide of the Tibetan people"
and
"Wow, you are finally almost to the point where the USA's space program was over 40 years ago. That is impressive"
and
"It also comes at the same time that the number of Chinese people living in extreme poverty rose by 800,000 last year"
ad nauseum
if the spacecraft or railway is from the United States of America or Russia ?
This development of sheer arrogance, is not checked, might even venture into the territory of racism.
I'm an /. old-timer, and I'm really sad to see /. goes to the dog because of these type of postings.

"I have been a very long time usenet user - and since 1996 I've been using deja, which later became google-groups.
The original interface was working perfectly, and why are you forcing users such as me to use the clunky "google-group beta" ?
I can't check message thread, nor can I check my own usenet messages under the much inferior "beta" interface !
Stop bugging the users !
I am not opposed to advertisement on google-groups, but STOP FORCING THE CLUNKY INTERFACE ON THE USERS !!!"
