You start as DS9 Janitor, cleaning the bulkheads... then work your way up to waiter in Quarks bar. Eventually you earn enough experience to start crafting, such as becoming a seamstress in that cardassian tailor sweatshop. You can then work your way up in the tailoring guild to earn enough to purchase a bachelor suite on the officers deck (no more slumming around in the lower quarter with the pirates and refugees! [p]From there you will be able to purchase credits to use the replicators and make furniture for your new babe-magnet of an apartment (complete with million dollar view of the wormhole!)... the women will be all over you. Of course, all the female card dealers from Quarks will actually be basement dwelling 30 something white guys (buyer beware!)[p]
Other promising careers will include, security attendant, cook, cargo bay inventory officer assistant, and of course, plumber - all jobs include full Federation pension and partial dental. As you can see, life on virtual DS9 will be nothing like real life, not at all!
DS9 was failing and then along came babylon 5... DS9 copied that genius of a show and invented the incredibly derivative 'arc' of the dominion war (whatever). The DS9 universe is so far from the STNG universe that it is almost in another dimension.
pseudo capitalism is in the process of destroying China from within. As inflation increases, natural resources deplete, environmental catastrophes take their toll, grain shortages increase, and the water continues to run out, well, things will just progress in a predictable fashion. The US need only contain China, which they are successfully doing by forcing them to buy their debt by the billions. It's a stroke of genius actually.
Consider, a single wealthy tourist is worth several thousand dollars per visit. They will stay in a hotel, buy food and drink, a souvenir, partake in excursions and other entertainment.
Now, how many FISH does one need to sell to equal that? Answer: ALOT.
Of course, as anyone who as ever actually lived on a tropical island knows, fishing does not generate very much income....tourism on the other hand, or ECO tourism can really rake in the dough.
The sad fact of the matter is there are very few pristine coral reefs left in the world. Build a few 5 star eco logdes on these islands and they will be worth MAGNITUDES more in revenue than fishing will ever hope to bring in.
(I have lived on islands in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean, so I have a clue - unlike most knee jerk global warming deniers on here)
Wow, I thought all the neocons were put out of business. LOL, who are these 'environmental special interest groups' you speak of who go around the world bribing government officials to oppress their citizens?
Your paranoia is palpable, but you really must get yourself a passport and see the world.
One would have thought the recent BP disaster and the machinations of that AMERICAN corporation to limit their liability would be enough to wake your people up, but alas, you're all too obese, insolvent, unemployed, and glued to television, to care. Now that is sad. I hope you have your guns loaded (I just assumed you were a gun nut).
Get nuclear weapons and the USA will not only leave you alone, they will give you AID money by the billions, initiate free trade deals, and otherwise try to be your best friend.
The majority of scientists in the world that agree that humans are causing climate change (some of which hopefully read Slashdot), or the FOX watching sycophants who lack a basic understanding of science and have the reading comprehension of a gnat? Or are you just one of those people who talk in the third person all the time?
You have an ID that clearly shows you have been around for a long time. Yet you post such an inanely stupid comment. It's like rationalizing that while humans are directly causing thousands of species to go extinct every year (true), everything will be OK because in a few million years they will just evolve again. Do humans have life spans of 1000s of years? We each live on this planet for a finite amount of time. We now find that we are causing changes to accelerate which will cause us great challenges. Where is my arranging deckchairs on the Titanic analogy, I need it again!
You fucking moron, do you not have a clue what climate change means? But gee golly! We got someone here who can pick numbers out from a database on a website! Clearly climate change is a conspiracy, especially if I use ALL CAPS a lot! The truth is here folks! (Just one question; How can you live with yourself? And why do you feel compelled to revel in your ignorance here on Slashdot?)
And you obviously feel qualified to determine what the public is entitled to know and not know. Pure bullshit. Information is power and wikileaks is just doing what democracy is supposed to do, reveal truth and let the citizens decide. You, like so many despotic regimes choose to shoot the messenger, rather than deal with the fallout from the truth. It's pathetic.
A little known feature of iphone 4 is that if you sit in the 'stargate' and have a finger bridging the 'gap' of the antennae, you are able to cross into an alternate dimension that can only be described as 'insanely great'. Take my word for it.
Desktops are magnitudes more powerful than what most people require from their computer these days. Probably more likely, the 'desktop' will morph into a server to manage all our files and wireless devices. I'm not about to surrender to 'cloud' just yet.

My plans for world domination are coming to fruition.
But the Japanese have one thing. ROBOTS!

M.A.D. for a safer world! Today!
you actually believe that bullshit you wrote. I almost feel sorry for you.

I hear BP has some PRIME ocean front real estate down in the Gulf for sale, CHEAP!

Coincidentally I dug up Hoffa's corpse in my basement a month ago while unclogging the sewer line, any takers?
He died mere months before publishing his first book. That is fate kicking your ass right there.

The Apple taketh away.
And on the third week of the coming of the iphone 4 Jobs said it was good... And gave to all gifts of bumpers to yoke the strength of the signal bar.
And it was good.
So sayeth the wise Jobs.
Everything begins with an apple.
In these countries there will be no shortage of cheap labor to clean/dust the solar panels 24/7.
