Rather than do the typical knee-jerk US-Bashing, lets get on with some good old fasioned typical knee-jerk China-Bashing.
If China is wanting to go to space. Do we REALLY think China would go through the effort of putting them in space when they could just fire them at the USA from the ground.
I mean *IT IS* the US here who could feel theatened by this...or Taiwan. No, no, it must be the US because its an xenophobic yank bringing it up!
Hunny Bunny: Well what else is there, day jobs?
Ringo: Not in this lifetime,
Hunny Bunny: Well what then?
Ringo: Garcon! Coffee! This place.
Waitress: Garcon means boy.
Hunny Bunny: This place, a Apple store?
Ringo: What's wrong with that? People never shop at Apple Stores, why not? Nobody ever shops at the Apple store after bitching about windows but not favouring linux. Best Buy, CompUSA, local computer shops, you get your head blown off trying to buy a Mac in one of them. Apple Stores on the other hand, you catch with their pants down. They not expecting a windows user to buy something from them, or not as expecting.
Hunny Bunny: I bet in places like this you could cut down on the ctrl-alt-delete factor.
Ringo: Correct. Just like Best Buy, these places are insured. The managers don't give a fuck, they're just trying to get ya out the door before you find out the extended warranty is a waste of money. Geniuses, forget it, they ain't takin a question about linux for Reality Field Distortion Steve. Floor Attendents, some wetbag really give a fuck whether you dislike windows, they want you to buy a mac. Customers are sittin' there thinking about the one button mouse issue, then next minute, bang, the Genius offers a logitech one. One minute they're talking about the headaches of the registry, next minute somebody's stickin a finder in their face.

No not globally because not *everyone* is as stupid and ignorant as the US, some other country will take over the economy after the US has fallen. YOU do some research I think you will find alot of markets are quite strong or will become stronger when the US goes totally downhill.
I agree, i am never travelling to the US either, i had always wanted to go, so you are not alone, but is there enough people to decide this and make a difference? Don't care because i'm hoping the US and its affairs is on a downwarding spiral into chaos. But I only ever thought this after 9/11, my attitude changed with theirs.
If you mean it in that way then i understand, strange because as a mac user i've not needed to do that either, and if its a windows user i could fix it but again this issue of it being my time crops up again.:) Most guys are dick heads anyway.
This *IS* the guy with the ferrai laptop, right? Is it just me or is he generally behind everyone else when it comes to his articles? He seems stuck in 1998 still.
Then call me an ignorant user as well, I don't know how OSX works and quite frankly I don't need to, yet. I've had 3 macs using 10.2 and 10.3 and so far i've reinstalled about 8 times on all the macs, probably rebooted them all twice as much. If I don't have any problems why would I need to waste me time to learn how OSX works? When it fails is when I learn something but so far I've had to trouble other than with a printer and it was apple's fault with the supplied drivers on the install CD, I had to go to HP.com and download them myself.
I dunno this could apply to everyone but I was under the impression that OSX wasn't like windows where you have to understand the control panel inside out + registry and BIOS. People have to understand all that crap because windows is a failure. I'm not suggesting either that I'm totally stupid, i read up on apples releases and have tinkered with Linux. I have even played with the command line, but then I thought what is the point, nothing is NOT working. But my time is my time and if OSX does everything for me why should I waste my time learning how to fix it (until its broke) when I have more productive things to do?
When it does break is when I learn OSX, at the moment i'm studying to much to care.
Today i modded a few trolls funny, if i had the mod points I would of done the same here, the is the best post today! It seems we have to many mods who are against anti anti american posts which are simply just jokes!
My name has two middle names so I can understand, what i hate as well is those forms, even worse are the credit cards, they always miss off the K (for Kevin) so it ends up JJ Morris instead of JJK Morris. Kinda hard to prove if you sign a bill with the K because it throws up questions as to who I am!
Aussie: That ain't a planet, this IS a planet.
Bart: That no planet, thats a quasi moon.
Aussie: Alright alright, I see you've played planetry quasi moony before then.
I had a 15" 1.25Ghz PowerBook and I thought it sucked for the price I paid, i paid developer price as well which took 1/5 of the price off. This WAS a mint condition PB with no flaws like everybody else was getting.
I sold the PB after 2 months and got a 1Ghz eMac which is far better for the performance price ratio. Now I await the G5 12" to be released... after everybody else has bought one so they discover the flaws first.:)
A good post, combined with an old fable making it an interesting read. I'm inspired to make my own map with paint for a peice of work i'm thinking of now doing.
... I mean, a company has designed something *for* women, something which now makes all other printers a man's printer when clearly that isn't the case. Its not like a woman doesn't know what a power switch is or a ink indicator is? Whats going to be so different about a womens printer, that it is a *women* printer?
GEORDI: You have a better idea... ?
Q: I would certainly begin by examining the cause and not the symptom.
GEORDI: We've done that, Q... and there's no way to determine...
Q: This is obviously the result of a large celestial object passing through at near right angles to the plane of the star system...probably a black hole...
DATA: Can you recommend a way to counter the effect?
Q: Simple. Change the gravitational constant of the universe.
Do you still play it? I use to play it years ago (around the time of the homelands expansion or just after the arabian nights expansion) but I joined it late and could never really afford and keep up with it because at the same time I was collecting the Star Trek CCG and the Star Wars CCG.

This nutcase is probably right, some people care not to admit it.

Good point. We need more famous people to put forward our plight! Get them to complain.

But you post AC for that very reason.

didn't the film come out? Won't the musical tell the same story?
The way I was reading this story gave me the impression that YOU had been the cause of the internal error. Luckily that last line saved you!

Yes I Know, it was a joke since it seems lately that everybody has realplayer. What is HTH?
you assume I live in the EU of course because where in my post was it "EU-centric"? It was the US vs the world type statement.
