>Bush is hardly the first president to use the military for a little jaunt.
so that makes it okay? no. it does not. your "little jaunt" destabilized the entire middle east, putting iran suddenly as the regional superpower. it killed tens of thousands, maimed hundreds of thousands, and displaced millions.
your "little jaunt" left us lagged an entire generation of military tech behind china as we spent our money waging war for 10 years rather than investing and innovating.
very expensive things, in terms of blood and innovation, those "little jaunts"
the iraq war, and guantanamo bay. that is how.
it doesn't matter how many people hate GWB. the fact of the matter is, these human rights abuses and atrocities occurred.
you think it is somehow less despotic that an elected government performed those actions?
we also had decade+ long war without cause, open "legalized" torture of prisoners of war, corporate malfeasance robbing millions of their retirements and life savings, etc. etc. etc.
qatar had none of that.
>There. Is no such thing as a progressive muslim state.
Qatar. i lived there for a few years. less human rights violations, crime, despotism, corruption, justice irregularities than the USA under george w. bush.
the facts are hard to swallow, but there you are.
making corporate actions based off feedback from people engaging upon criminal activities upon your livelihood is even less intelligent than basing your retirement portfolio on the results of a slashdot poll
"This is a major problem in Asia, particularly China."
what are your prices in China, and do they factor in the large PPP disparity found between there and Europe and America? Would they really be honest paying customers?
ANWR, which you based most of your curious rambling tirade about, will only fulfill 6 months of US energy consumption.
We can spend the exorbinant amount of money, time, and energy required to find ALL untapped resources, and keep drilling holes in the earth no matter what political, ideological, and financial cost we need to bear until we are literally on fumes, or we can act responsibly and take action now, forcing a switch to alternative fuels and focusing on conservation to reduce what we need to consume.
I find it curious how you can support the first option.
I'm very excited about this project, even spec'd out a new dell to handle it. But before I can lay down the cash, I just wonder: why?
why? Is the cell processor expected to go anywhere past PS3? There is obviously no OS port planned, and I have no access to PS3 game SDK. I have read some pretty awesome posts regarding the technical details of cell vs. x86 or Mac architectures, but none that would encourage me to download, install, and play around with this with the hope of ever making a buck.
although you personally feel that "Plan B" is, in fact, a form of contraception...
the fact remains that the president of the United States (along with a certain population of the US and the Supreme Court), driven by religious convictions alone, believe that life begins at conception- so there is no moral difference between RU-486 and plan B (or even an overdose of birth control pills the next morning)... and they are quite verbal in the desire to legislate as such.
your post certainly brings to light an example of the erosion of pure science, yeilding to religion...

yep, and 640K is more memory than anyone will ever need.
yes. because we do not have free speech in the united states, that is a valid concern.
way to focus on one tree and neglect the forest.
that is the most disjointed from reality statement i think i have ever read on the internet. congrats, i guess.
"Qatar has supported the US in these wars" but they didn't *wage* them. logic 101. get you some.
the iraq war, and guantanamo bay. that is how. it doesn't matter how many people hate GWB. the fact of the matter is, these human rights abuses and atrocities occurred. you think it is somehow less despotic that an elected government performed those actions?

what was the last war qatar waged against a sovereign foreign state for no reason, resulting in hundreds of thousands dead, millions displaced?

i'd imagine that would be the case of many

Reality does have a well known liberal bias...

Where do you think Ruby will be in 10 years? My guess is either:
1) extinct, or,
2) 'bloated'
for Mother 4... it's gonna be AWESOME.
Could you conclusively and accurately list the name of EVERY programmer to touch the code
assuming a source control policy that forbids check-ins and commits by anonymous accounts, yes, you probably could? I think?

the storm went from a "cat 2" to a "cat 5" in something on the order of 72 hours.
Something on the order of 40% of residents of NOLA are at or near the poverty line. You do the math...
