That's why people who have been walked over by the US want to nuke it.
Polute my air and water and refuse to improve your factories, power stations? Then I'll nuke your country/factories/government with a suitcase bomb so your actions may be accounted for.
The US creates over 25% of global air pollution yet is affected by less than 5% of this.
Would you allow your neighbour to shit in their garden but throw most of the wast at you? This is the opinion of the US held by most of the rest of the world.
A 1% rise in productivity equals 1.5million jobs. The entire offshoring in the past 10 years has equalled 300,000 jobs. In both cases the consumer benefits from lower costs of supply and the pension and mutual funds benefit from better investments.
Take a problem, and two teams of similarly formed people, give them the same project, and see what happens.
To be statistically significant you'd need to do this several times over with several pairs of programmers. Your programmers would have to be a representative sample of programmers in your hypothesis, and the problem (or better several problems) would have to be representative of real life problems.
Slashdot is proof that a reasonable opinion can be instantly improved upon!
The whole issue of loking phones is a bit mixed. For example, at Carphone Warehouse a few months back they said Vodafone started locking their handsets, but you can walk into a phones4u and buy a brand new model contract Vodafone unlocked.
I don't think mm03 are locked, but maybe they are as I bought a mm02 contract phone from phones4u, I was bargaining over a Vodafone contract when they suggested mm02... never removed the phone from the desk though!
I am not an expert, but this has taught me the whole issue of locking on Vodafone/mm02 is a fallacy built up with them and the retailer... even if they insist the phone is locked, you can get it not locked. T-mob and Orange which use the other spectrum are similar I guess, but have historically taken locking more seriously.
In short, if the retailer tells you the phone will be locked they are doing it because they get a couple more squid... it doesn't have to be.
Most Japanese don't speak fluent English and don't claim to. Some benefit from good instruction, some try self-learning on top of typically poor instruction, good on them.
Have you ever visited the Netherlands? The majority of the population speak reasonable English and German, as well as Dutch, and in many cases additional languages - French, Spanish, etc.
It is not hard to become fluent in another language - systematic and disciplined learning with a reasonable resource are all that are needed - this is easy if you have caught the 'bug' of language.
I agree a 'core' common language makes business-related communication more efficient, but that is no reason to leave other languages. Language is a means of expression - there is no need to converge languages for this, infact (as you point out wrt slang) language evolves and changes quickly with this in mind. There are many major languages in the world now - English, Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese (Mandarin)... try converging or replacing these!
You probably think you have, but you have not. Your body posesses only a small faction of what made it up over the past 40 years. You are nothing more than absorbed animals, plants, dirt, air which has rearranged itself in image of 'your' previous appearance.
Unless MS choose the easy option and licence the existing AV products, like they did with WinZIP. This way Symantic/Norton could concentrare on the real AV stuff, have some bells-and-whistles premium products and soak up lots of cash for MS doing the retail side for them. In this scenario they'd be the last people to complain.
Perhaps the parent was short on MS? Or as someone who knows the ticker ID is MSFT maybe your post is nothing more than an advert for Microsoft rather than an actual statement based on FACTS?
Adding support for a different combination of bits should not be a performance drag. I agree the parent was confused (programs accidentally having buffer overflows in their inbuilt operations vs. deliberate buffer overflow expoits), but hey, they criticised 'M$', so they got modded up! You must be new around here, etc.
Taikonaut was a word that was coined for Western audiences as it would fit in with the terms Cosmonaut and Astronaut. The term Taikonaut is not used in China, instead the word 'yuhangyuan' (literally 'astro-navigator') is used - which refers to Astronauts, Cosmonauts and 'Taikonauts' without distinction of nationality.
The trouble with a modertion system is moderation is often wide of the mark. There are some really good mods, some really bad mods, and many mods who may not be experts in a field but moderate what seems correct to them - when they may be wrong. And as Slashdot proves regarding economics, incorrect opinions get modded up when they are incorrect one.
Moderation is a way to enforce groupthink, not to encourage what is best.

What... like the MP3 file format?
I think he is affiliated with The Sed Rugs .
And FYI, techies are usually those who can't hack it as management.
Incremenal improvements can be just as statistically significant as revolutionary developments.

Time to get your head out of your ass, friend!

Not insightful but +5 informative.
Medical ethics should prevent that. Any doctor that allows such a thing to sway their opinion/treatment disobeys their most basic agreement.

ROFL with that one, keep the genius rolling!
Surely it is his freedom of speech/expression to set up these websites.
Every day we head further towards 1984. All freedom loving Americans should get their M-16s and take to the hills to defeat this facist state.
I too live in the USA for 40+ years

FUCK OFF
Fuck off with your fucking paranoia (and paedopliliac sympathy) you fucking fuck.
