I admit I don't know alot of South East Asian countries.
But you have to admit there is some pretty big trading going on in the past and present between Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and China. Which all helped China to reach the position that it has now.
India has the disadvantage of not being able to really trade with its neighbours.
Perhaps the whole new technology things of China is just Taiwanese (and perhaps Korean and Japanese) mobo and chip fabs moving to China because of cheaper labor and less enveriomental laws.
I think it has to do with the fact that China has some very wealthy and developed neighbours who have almost the same culture. Those neighbours being South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. And between those countries and China for some decades there have huge money flows. Europe and the USA are playing catch up.
Especially for Taiwanese and Hong Kong business people it should not be culturaly a big effort to invest in China. And already for many years there were huge money flows between Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. You would know some Chinese local government guy that would allow them to open up a shop for cheap products to be sold in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
India doesn't have rich neighbours, well actually it's close neighbours (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka) are one of the poorest countries of the world.
And besides that India's region (Its neighbours) has more political issues. While South East Asia is more stable if you forget North Korea which I think will not do anything really crazy without China's consent.
From what I know, excuses are there to be used;). Also studies have shown that people that lie more are more succesfull in life and have a better social life.
Well anyway.
After googling a bit I found that the FDIC is like what I had in mind. The country where I life (Netherlands) has a similair organization and as far as I know it hasn't failed.
This is not an excuse but reality. Sometimes its better to fix something then dump it and forget it.
About the government bailouts, to me this means that these organizations FSLIC/FDIC don't have enough funds or back up from their member banks. Fix that.
I would go for a system where an organization like your FSLIC/FDIC doesn't have any real money but it manages the customers of bankrupt banks and other banks. All banks should be forced to share the bankruptcy of a certain bank and take over the customers. Just taking over the customers accounts and not paying them cash money this should be better as its just a matter of the bank giving them credit for their current mortgage, loans etc.
However I wouldn't want to put all my life savings at the mercy of Nick Leeson and the Barings Bank.
However don't you have this kind of system for your banks in the USA? Where I life it excists and the banks are still making mega multi billion profits.
BTW: Having one or two failures doesn't mean that you from now on that you must forget the system that you had. Its like saying that democratcy doesn't work in this and that country at this moment of time. Lets forget about improving the situation that allows it and just go for a dictatorship. Or other said you need failures to learn but keep going.
Installation After downloading the single ISO and burning it, I booted into a BASH prompt. This might sound intimidating to those newer to Linux, but wherever a user is required to type something in there are directions included. In this instance it indicated 'type Yoper to begin setup'. A little fiddling reviled that the prompt had a few basic commands such as mount and access to Vim. Ready to begin the install, I typed Yoper, pressed enter and was greeted by the installer. Overall the feel of the install was similar to that of Slackware and comfortable enough for any user: even a Linux 'newbie'.
Is it to much to ask for a simple bootmenu? So:
1. Install Yoper 2. Rescue(Bash) 3. Use LiveCD 4. Other
Please press 1-4 to choose your option followed by the enter key. Thank you.
Can't you provide a solution like in the banking world?
Thats is that all banks must be member of a central bank like organization that garantees the funds (in some limits) of a bank.
So if a private investment pension fund firm goes bankrupt the central pension investment agency will talk with other pension funds and those will take over your accounts.
It will make the return of investment of the pension funds smaller because you have to pay in some way for the assurance.
This is also what I thought as dogs are color blind and they are normally hunters. Seeing in black and white makes you see contrast better.
As I understand some of the big cats (lions, panthers, tigers) only see in shades of green. Which is basically the same as being color blind, however the shades of green work out better at night (moonlight) time.
The only species that need to see color are ones that eat fruit, to see if its ripe or not.
No you just port Apache (or whatever webserver google uses) to x86 assembly code and use the BIOS functions to drive the hardware. And voila an OS less google.
However if you ever want to upgrade Apache or your hardware its going to be a royal pain. Well thats what an OS is for, basically an abstraction layer between hardware and software.
Yes but you forget that your $2000 is worth the same of poor persons $2000 but $2000 is all what the poor person has and it must try to live and raise a family of it after which not a lot is left if any. You still have plenty of money left for all kinds of luxeries.
I didn't want to go as far back as WWI and WWII but actually didn't the Serbs fight against the Nazis during WWII? The Croats were the friends of the Nazis and if I recollect correctly some neo-Nazi people went to Croatia to help them against the Serbians in the late Yugoslavian war.
Serbians call them self's Slavic people (that's why they got/get support from Russia) and Croats are Germanic? So saying that Serbia and Germany formed a tight nut in the past is wrong. They are as close as Germany is to Russia.
I think Serbs consider them self's a warrior tribe/people as they first fought of the Ottomans and then the Germans(Nazis). The Serbs say without us being such as pain in the ass too the Ottomans most of Eastern Europe would have been Islamic now.
Basically the Serbs got in power because the other ethnics sided with the party that lost WWII (Germans) and the Serbs sided with the Russian (who won)
And about the Germans, I don't think they are not directly guilty of modern Middle East problems. Before WWII it was the English and French that drew up the borders of modern Arab states and right after WWII, when Germany had little to say, it was the USA, GB and France that granted the Jews the right to form a state (via the puppet UN), were Israel is located now.
I personally don't blame solely the Germans for the holocaust. I think it was European culture that is to blame for it. As for one in the Netherlands there were more people that send Jews to concentration camps then Germans did in Germany (this a ratio), I'm sure it was the same in other European countries. No one forced them to betray the Jews to the Nazis but they were happy to do so, most people didn't like Germans ruling their countries but could agree with their Jew agenda. Hell every country knew that Jews were being slaughtered but they didn't care.
But I do get your point as I read the emails from Al Quada members and Bin Laden that were posted yesterday on/. and for them (the emails) I understand its not really about the USA just about Israel and whomever stands in their way to get ride of it. (The friend of my enemy is my enemy).
With out oil the Middle East becomes a lot less interesting to all other countries. And perhaps it will seal Israel's fate as the dominate power of the region as the oil selling nations will get less support and have no money to buy modern arms.
What if you used some device that works like an ideal transistor?
What I mean and it is actually far of, of how a transistor actually works. Is that you don't measure the entangled particle but mimic it and read that mimicked data. Sort of a pseudo entanglement.
So if an entangled photon changes its state a pseudo-entangled particle will also change its value. As if a particle changes its energy state it should have an effect on its surroundings (at least those sensitive to it) not? However by just mimicking not measuring (interacting) you will not touch it.
Lets say you have a group of particles of which some are entangled with another group of particles within a non-entangled group. Wouldn't the non-entangled particles react to the changes of the entangled particles within it?
It will take a hell of a lot to block your signals from reaching space.
As if they find humans aggresive they may also find other aliens aggresive. So you will need stop your signals leaving your solar system, which is a massive operation. Encoding will not help as SETI (I think) is just looking for patterns not the information stored in the signals.
However I can imagine that the aliens are using some other form of long distance communication other then radiowaves and perhaps have different ways of mathemathics and so the encoding is totally unhuman.
Isn't the question about if the French, Germans and Russians were more concerned about their local businesses investments in Iraq and debts that Saddam owned them then protecting Iraqi rights?
I mean France and Russia have both a recent history of doing nasty things if it fits them.
On the other hand, the more localized government gets, the more it tends towards cronyism with local businesses.
Which is good IMO. The taxpayers money returns to the community that paid the taxes. However it must make business sense of course but that's an issue of corruption that any form of government can be affected by.
I, personally, don't see the need to make the funding of Federal projects like NASA up to states. If the Federal gov. was out of the way of more local gov.s on the issues they're supposed to be on, they wouldn't need to pull as much tax money and could be more focused on their missions.
Its logical for a state like California to make big donations as it has a big high tech industry who benefit from the space program but states that are mostly rural don't benefit from it at all (job wise), so they can choose not to donate or spend a part of their budget on another federal project such as energy (fusion, windmills, solar), communication networks (wireless internet in rural areas) or other projects that affect the population of the state more directly.
However, it's kind of a silly discussion at this level, because big corporations like a big central government that can give them big centralized tax exemptions and big centralized regulation loopholes with a big centralized high barrier of entry to keep concerned citizens' groups a miniscule voice.
Well I don't agree with that, as the states will compete more with each other to get businesses to settle in their state and so they will give the businesses some tax exemptions. As a poster mentioned in post below your original in the same thread, however he believes that's its bad because companies will bully states in submission to corporate policies.
I think that's not true, as you don't see that in Western European countries and in most developed countries. Third world countries will take more from international companies but this policy is influenced by poverty more then decentralized governments. Just look at China and its single highly centralized government and its very polluting industry at the same time. I think you can say almost all countries that have a bad human rights reputation have centralized governments.

Well I guess the Chinese government figured out that first you need wealth before you can distribute it.
So maybe later when China has reached its economic peak the government will increase taxes for the rich and so distribute the wealth.
From what I know, excuses are there to be used ;). Also studies have shown that people that lie more are more succesfull in life and have a better social life.
Well anyway.

Well I consider it more as a failure of the American banking / insurance system then the idea it self.
I know it will cost money and needs regulation.
However I wouldn't want to put all my life savings at the mercy of Nick Leeson and the Barings Bank.
