All the major corporations are moving their operations to overseas, and the only leftover jobs will be for Lawyers and other PR personnel.
This is FUD. While it is true that a lot of jobs are moving to other countries, the US is still the world's largest EXPORTER. This would obviously be impossible if the US were not producing goods. Therefore, there are still many, many jobs in the US.
I don't mean this as a troll, but it seems to me that if the US courts did something like this to a small business man (rather than to Satan), the slashdot crowd would be screaming about Ashcroft and free speech rights.
I don't know about the UK, but in the US, the courts decide.
The difficulty here is that the courts usually take community standards in to consideration. What is acceptable in New York city might not be acceptable in a small town in Georgia. Since the Internet is inherently non-community specific, it becomes much more difficult for a specific community to uphold it's own standards.
As somebody who has worked in the Pentagon and with the policy makers (though not one myself), here is a big FUCK YOU to you and your total lack of knowledge as well as to the mods who gave you an insightful. I was in that building during the Clinton admin and the current Bush admin, and it is FULL of people doing their absolute best to protect you and the United States no matter who is in the White House. You may disagree with the admin, or the way the people in the Pentagon do things, but 99% have the best interests of the U.S. in mind.
How dare you sit at your keyboard and accuse them of being "shadow employees of weapons dealers".
They don't use the Euro directly, but the Krone is linked to the Euro. Denmark participates in what is called the revised Exchange Rate Mechanism of the European Monetary System.
Add to all this that the public would need a near-100% safety record in order to buy into a space tourism industry, and we're looking at more decades added onto the R&D and testing.
I respectfully disagree. I think many, many people, including myself, would be willing to take a trip to the moon with a less than near-100% safety record. The Risk/Reward ratio is what really counts.
they charge twice as much for the same stuff you can get from other brands. Of course, the high value of the Euro isn't helping. Those are the reasons why the company is having financial problems.
With other industries starting up? What percentage of restaurants fail? Bookstores? Coffee shops? Are these number way out of whack with business as a whole?
Something like 70% of all new businesses fail within their first five years.

On the other hand, my 8-year-old kid plays video games even more than I did.
The game industry is simply maturing, like any other 25 year old industry.
Based on your slashdot Friends list, I'd say that's about right. ;)
Would we really want to replace that with the government controlling all of our information?

Try having children. I can punch my computer without going to jail.
Privacy issues because they track their own sales?

Appearantly, your freedom of expression is intact given that you were able to post.
Other than carrying a knife on an airplane, which freedoms have I lost?
moron
No, I wasn't paid to be "respectful and eloquent". I had no interface with the public.
How dare you sit at your keyboard and accuse them of being "shadow employees of weapons dealers".
I say again, FUCK YOU
Is your post a joke? I'm not sure. When I said that the original poster should have invested in paper, I meant cash, government bonds, CDs, et al.
Don't blame your bad investments on bad people running the companies you invested in. Next time do the due diligence or invest in paper.
That's what civil court is for.
How the fuck is the parent a TROLL?

There is no clear winner yet. Wait for the actual case.
What?!? How much are you paying for processor cycles now compared to 1,2,5,10 years ago. What, exactly, about computing is getting so tight?

The photos clearly have been doctored because they don't match the scenery in "Total Recall".

Actually, diabetes is one of the major causes of heart disease.
I would point out that anybody can write a bill. The real trick is getting it sponsored and buying enough votes for Congress to pass it.
