That is why Chinese goods are so cheap. Japan and S. Korea experienced similar booms, but their products got more expensive as time passed, because their currencies were determined by the free market. China's essentially cheating, but due to their size and their strategic importance, there's not much we can do about it.
You are generally on drugs all the way through this post, but this is where it goes really bad (you seem interrested in economy so please study it a bit more). Ok, China is "cheating" how, exactly? China is by buying large amounts US debt, which is only available because the US is spending way more than they afford, this money-transfer keeps the yen unusually low and the dollar unusually high (considering the debt and trade-deficits). Now, if China stopped "cheating" this way the dollar would plummet and US economic would go completely and utterly bust, and probably wreck the rest of the world economy on the way down.
Whether or not a person believes in Intelligent Design doesn't affect whether he/she is a real biologist or not
Yes it does. He might be a biologist by profession but when arguing about Intelligent Design he is doing Theology or at best Philosophy and as such do not speak as a biologist, but as a (hobby) philosopher or theologist. Remember biology is a natural science, biological research must be scientific, and ID is by nature no longer scientific.
Yes, use a german translation of a danish expression in english when you already have a similar and perfectly usefull expression in english. I think it would be hard to find a more useless foreignword.
The tag is the most useless of them all. Apple has already decided only to support QT movies in it, and Opera and Firefox have decided not to support QT (patent issues). So even among the first movers it will be completely incompatible.
While it is true that Al-Qaeda was originally a US invention with little base in reality, many organizations has since adapted the name and the cause, creating a real version of the US invented nightmare. Bin Laden may not have anything to do with these organizations, and the organizations nothing to do with each other, but it is a global movement and cause now.
As I said: "They will typically find other excuses even to themselves". Add a bit of Freud and you get: And they will be hostile when challenged with the truth;)
Of course everybody have different standards of success, for some it is beauty for others it is income or even intelligence. But however you see it, you can not get around the fact that woman has more choice and are more picky than men.
I am not trying to whine here, I am just musing over why the only virgins I've been with had Ph.Ds, and why I went from always rejected to women seducing me; after I got older, higher educated and rich.
However it seems especially women find it hard to fuck down, and would never marry someone they consider less succesfull (though typically they would find other excuses even to themselves). This means you pretty much have to give up on smart or successful women, they seem to strive for a life of loneliness.
The low chances were already at 110. That is ~40% of all males.

There are better algorithms that stretching. There is no reason a SD 50" TV shouldn't look good. Unfortunately people buy shitty DVD-players. I start grinding the axe everytime I see de-interlace artifacts, or boxy pixels on a big screen.
I think what he meant is basic research. This is research that has no immediate products, but might help future research that CAN produce new products. The idea is that research that isn't constrained by the need to be profitable is more free, more pure.
In Switzerland, you must help whenever someone needs your help and helping doesn't directly endanger your own life. At the same time, someone trying to get your charred arse out of the wreck formerly known as your car and you suing them will get your rebuilt arse thrown out of court.
It think this might be part of Napolion law, and probably the same in most of continental Europe. I know Denmark where I live have the same law, and I know France has too.
You rarely get charged under the law though. Pretty much only if you stand passively in the way of other people trying to help.
Only under ideal circumstances. If the machine is under load the game will run better in Windows. In fact it will run better in Windows Home than in Windows Super-duper Advanced Server edition, because Windows optimizes the home and pro edition for games, where Linux is always optimized for servers.
We all have have deep dark suspicions there are secret organized groups who go around manipulating message boards. An innocuous example is Snakes On A Plane. If you go to cinemamontreal, half the user comments are english, whereas the normal fraction is about 10%. That made me think maybe I wasn't so paranoid after all.
What? You are scared of French comments on a French message board?
For so many people 8-15 mile range was perfect for urban workers, as long as a recharge was possible during 9am-5pm for the commute home
Actually these ancient history cars could go 100miles on a fully charged battery. The hybrid cars just suck in comparison, a this 8 miles limit really show how bad they are at fuel efficiency.
They always have loads of snack food around, eat junk food, etc. Trying to get you to eat at McDonalds, etc.
I have shitloads of snack food around, plus candy, eats pleanty of junk food, always take an extra slice of cake at work. Guess what: I am skinny, so are most people I know who are like me, and eat like me. The only difference I can see is that I live in Europe, and I don't eat stuff with corn syrup or nutra-sweet in it. You know the stuff that the evil scientists believe are causing the american obesity-epidemic.

Yes, but FSF is a not for profit organization. That makes a huge difference.
Which is why you shouldn't contribute to MySQL unless you are paid to do it.

J+J apparently use the red cross on first aids to make them look like Red Cross first aid kids, so this is really really twisted
People ignore them because these LICENSES are invalid and should be ignored. They are only there to fool gulible people.
The artists don't get any part of the revenue from downloaded tracks unless they own their own record company, which small artists usually don't.
So it doesn't make any difference.

The recommended weight for somebody around 6'0 is 160lbs. So he is 20 pound underweight and you are 20 pound overweight.

No he can't 'cause he's a pig"

Yes. Kinda like working for your customers instead of working for your boss. It might be the moral high road, but it still gets you fired.
