I realize you're trolling, but Indonesia also has a history of treating the Chinese living in Indonesia like shit, so it's not surprising if the Chinese didn't do as much. (Note, I'm not defending this reaction, but it's not surprising.)
this guy needs to grow up. (Mods: I'm not trolling here). This is the worst thing about working in software: some developer's baby-like attitude about the code they write. Every fucking place I've worked has always had some guy who's pathological about his code. (for the peanut gallery: no, it's not me).
What is it about coding that draws these types? Was it being beaten up in school, and now they're nuts about the one thing they're good at?
Is it the fault of the operators of the plant?Is it the fault of the company for not doing enough oversight?
Exactly, as awful as this event was, I have a question:
Was this plant being operated by the locals? I.e. Indians? Did they live in Bhopal? I'm guessing the plant wasn't operated by a bunch of fat white American men smoking cigars and wearing top-hats.
To make a trivial comparison, our company has all sort of problems with our outsourced QA teams in India - we have all sorts of detailed specs and info, and these guys still produce some really sloppy work. Is it our fault? Well, maybe a little for management deciding to outsource to begin with. (Not intended to be a slam against Indians BTW.)
Why doesn't TB offer something like SpamBayes: Good Mail, Maybe Spam, Spam. I tried TB a few months ago and don't like the idea of having to check dozens of spam messages to make sure a good e-mail didn't end up in there
Dude, I've used TB for year or two now, and get a few thousand spams a week on my work account - couldn't live without Tbird. TB's spam filter trains rapidly like within a day or so it seems, and is very accurate. My account would be unusable without it.
I have a work copy of Outlook 2003, which looked neat, but tried it for a few days with SpamBayes (well, I think it was spam bayes), and... I hated it. It took longer to train than TB, and I don't know about you, but I don't trust MS with freaking anything when it comes to security. Especially not my personal and professional emails.
Though see my sig for a humorous bug/feature of tbird:).
And people could like buy their own "car" that is used on these tracks, they could be independently steerable, and instead of a track, we could use a simple paved surface (!!!). We could POWER them with gasoline until electric power becomes cheaper to support!! Truly transportation for the masses!! That means real FREEDOM, and then... oh wait.
There has been this thing called "Space Command" in the Air Force for a long time now. There has even been talk of branching the space forces from the Air Force for a long while - like over ten years or so?
Somehow between now and 2008 the Democratic party has to become a whole lot
more than just an opposition party. It's got to become a party passionate
about truth, feedom, and life. There are ways to break through this morality
battle currently running across the country, but they require boldness,
confidence, passion, and strength. States issues must be kept off the
national stage.
I heartly agree - and if the Dems did this, I'd be a lot more apt to vote for them. Just like I would have voted for Truman, et al over Bush. But sorry, not Kerry. Better luck next time.
Is it just me, or is everyone noticing that each and every time we get new data on bodies in our solar system, scientists are "shocked", "mystified", "befuddled", etc. by the data? What exactly were they convinced of and proven wrong, after all the Ios, Encledaeus, et al surprises out there?

Drop all the "MacOS does this", "ClearType does this", etc. shit please.
More interesting still are the Browsers used and OSes by the Slashdot crowd. Hey, Firefox is doing pretty well around here. Still surprised at all the IE6s though.
Yeah, on my two user XP Pro box, I was able to index and search the seconds user's files, but their account was not "protected" using a password, etc.
One annoyance is that the second account cannot use Google desktop at all. It warns roughly "Only the user who installed this can use the Google Desktop", etc.
I'm surprised to see Google restricting themselves to such a small set of files.
So far I'm impressed even with the limitations, as its even finding matches inside my Java source files. I don't know why I find this so impressive since it's just text, but this is damn cool IMHO.

The machines at work, at the church, and my older PCs suffer too much of a hit when I use AA.
Actually, most anything, including churches and old PCs, will suffer when you hit it with Anti-aircraft.
Also, good luck finding an USB keyboard connected to a PC, and good luck finding a PC keyboard port on this iMac.
I've picked up a USB PS2 port for like $8 bucks at Fry's, used it to convert my blessed Keytronic keyboard to USB. I'd assume Mac supports it also.
Yikes, everyone take a look at this one:
Amazing detail photo
Can't wait for others of this caliber!!`~ Made me weep!!
(it's a joke son)
I use a Hauppage WinTV PVR USB2 mpeg encoder/tuner. It works great on my 4 year old laptop (600MHz) with a PCMCIA USB2.0 card.
I run it with SageTV, as all the other options I tried (BeyondTV, GB-PVR, etc couldn't handle the older hardware.)

The guys/gals who were labelled this at my (fairly big) company, sucked at UIs.
:P)
They seemed capable of making pictures of UIs in Photoshop, and had backgrounds such as Bachelor degrees in History, etc.
But god forbid if you tried to deviate from their designs (i.e. the jpg images), as all hell would break loose.
Sorry, but as a developer, I could produce equally usable UIs, without any explicit UI training. (and my icons were better too

...but you can not get more information than exists out of an image.
True, but you can get some good results with poor-quality video:

...I thank you for your concern about this wonderful Company founded by my father and uncle...
So does this like mean his mother married her own brother or something??
There is one thing, however, just one thing that I crave so bad for that I can't get over here: QUALITY TURKEY GRAVY!!!!!!!
You see, you just need to use:
http://www.qualityturkeygravy.co.jp
instead of:
http://www.qualityturkeygravy.com
It's a Java Swing app, running on a Mac:
Welkin.java
Moderation -1
100% Overrated
WTF is this? How can it be overrates if no one modded it up? Retards...
Dude, you can tell in 30 seconds if a person is computer literate just by observing how they use a computer.
I.e. when you say "click that link", and they ask "which (mouse) button"?, you know you're in trouble...

I call alarmist BS, nothing new here.
I think what you're seeing is related to "format=flowed" in the content-type header of sent messages:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Though this shouldn't force scrolling AFAIK, at least when I view it in T-Bird.
