Google shareholders have next to nothing voting rights, so it would be up to the founders to fire the management. Clearly, Brin, Page, and Doerr fully agree with the current decision.
It should be the people's choice and the people's fight. I know Americans wouldn't like a foreign country trying to push the United States to ban capital punishment.
Making such comments, I sincerely hope you were against the war in Iraq - otherwise deal with your hypocricy first.
1) Refuse China's request, therefore reducing the average Chinese citizen's access to information on the internet greatly.
Yahoo and Microsoft are there already to provide enough information to the average Chinese citizen. Google is here clearly for the money more than anything else, while the moral thing to do is not to cooperate with the regime.
When are submitters/posters will even know the distinction! This is becoming more rampant - wait for a bill which equates the two due to mass confusion.
The entire floating ice pack in the arctic could melt and it wouldn't effect the water level one bit. Why? BECAUSE IT'S FLOATING ALREADY.
I would strongly disagree about the 'one bit' thing. The portion of ice that's above the water would certainly contribute to raising the sea level once melted. The effects will not be dramatic, but they will not be nil either.
And, if you don't believe me, conduct your ice in the glass experiment.
That's why it puzzles me why no earthquake advance warning systems has ever been setup in the region. I understand how poor the affected countries are, yet the foreign investment that owned the hotels on the beachfront, etc could easily have paid for such a system.
"Voyevoda," a noun that refers to a leader-- a leader whose power is achieved by being the toughest kid on the block
Utter bullshit. The noun does refer to a leader and denotes a warrior chieftain and was generally used in pre-XVII century Russia. Voyevoda's power was achieved through combination of successful combat, smart politics and helpful genealogy.

Similarly in chess, the program decides the best move based on how "we to told it how to decide" which is search the game tree k levels deep, apply pruning algorithms along the way, examine interesting positions even deeper. And the scoring function which evaluates the board is what makes the reaul difference which up to you to implement. You can simply add up assumed values for pieces available on the board or you can look at particular piece arrangements, take into account scores of boards deeper in the tree, etc. This is not any more hard-coded than whatever you guys were doing (except the case when you simply add the values together)
So if you imagine that you have a right to police other sovereign countries, you can then justify using force against those that oppose you?

If it isn't working, maybe it's time to scrap the whole concept and start over. Maybe with one that has a few less veto powers. Or maybe has a check on the powers that have them.
Looks like your dream is have US police the whole world. How about we just let US and UK have the veto power
Now this is completely absurd. Thank God there are places in this world (Eastern Europe, Asia, South Africa) which will never have crap like that passed, enforced or tolerated. So, refrain from saying, America does it - the whole world follows. America does it and dies off - that's a more likely scenario.

I thought /. was all about being anal. Don't tell me there's any other use for the forum!
When are submitters/posters will even know the distinction!
Its "?" - not "!". When are submitters/posters will even know the distinction?
Since the sentence in question was meant to be a retorical question, an exclamation mark is quite acceptable.
Its "will" - not "are". When will submitters/posters even know the distinction!
It's "It's" not "Its".
Lesson: If you're going to be a nazi, make sure you're typing is fawlless.
It's "flawless", not "fawlless". It's "your", not "you're".
Lesson: before teaching others, learn yourself first!

Not entirely true - we satisfy the urge to procreate, and pleasure is a side effect. 99% of sex people have is for the side effect of pleasure.

Significant research is very risky and rarely profitable--and never reliably profitable in the way that normal business investments are.
Then how do you explain hundrends of millions poured by Japanese car manufacturers into robotics?

Sorry, you are right. My mistake.
You meant to say up? Where do u think the portion of the ice go? Evaporate?

According to this, age of consent in India is in fact 16.

That would be Tatars rather than Tartars. A Mongol tartar is what you'd get at a russian tavern at the end of 15th century.
Btw, If it's seven binary choices and 24 choices for colors, it should be (2^7)*24 = 3072, NOT (2^6)*24

"stoy" (noun) comes from russian (verb) "stroyit'" "to build"; in the context of "kommunsticheskiy stroy" "communist regime"
