Learning from your mistakes would be getting turned down by a woman, analyzing what might have led to that outcome, and trying to fix it.
I call BS.
Some women find persistence a form of strength. In fact, they often like to play the game "hard to get" for a reason. Perhaps they only want to bare children from those that have this "genetic glitch"?
It's not that we shouldn't encourage immigration (our nation is founded on immigrants after all), it's just that we shouldn't have wide-open-borders too. All nations need a form of flow control. Too many immigrants at once from the same source and you end up with "balkanization". Too little, and you become a nation of isolationists.
Right now, we are facing the same balkanization issues that France is enduring. There are parts of Texas and California that we've lost already from an ethnic standpoint. Hell, I doubt anyone still speaks much English there too. If left unchecked, we may see communities of our southern states ced land back to Mexico in about 30 years from now if not sooner. By limiting the amount of immigration however, you allow enough time for them to assimilate into the greater American culture of ideas and philosophies.
You know. Wars have often been fought over land because immigration has been left unchecked and America is reaching a dangerous threshold with illegal immigration. Something to think about...
Media manipulation is a global phenomenon. Just about every country has their own agenda with it. For example in China, the media is controlled to protect the CCP and maintain control of the populous through mis-information. In the USA however, the media is all about the cultural "shock value". The more shock, the higher your ratings become for profit.
If anyone thinks there is a shred of honor left in any of the media conglomerates would be sorely mistaken. It's about bending, shaping, and molding the premise which to base the news on to achieve the predefined objective.
Funny that, they think the same for the US. Not that they are not in their own bubble. They see a highly consumerist country that weilds their power and lays countries to waist.
No they don't. Please ground yourself back to reality.
If you ever been to a modern city in China (Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu..etc), you will find everyone is living a capitalist lifestyle. If someone isn't getting into your face to sell you something, they are at least buying goods for themselves at supermarkets such as Carrefour and Wal-Mart. Even Bestbuy stores are starting to show up. And oh ya, they actually watch movies in the theaters. The behavior is not much different from that of Americans and Europeans.
As for the Chinese people themselves? They're like you and I. They want to live their lives and not be messed with. In fact, most of them don't have any political or ideological preferences. They just know the quality of life has been improving over the years and want it to continue. Obviously political freedom and capitalistic expansion is the answer. However, most haven't figured out why these fundamentals work. They know they do, and just accept it "as-is" for now.
Nuking your hardware just so you can get a free replacement? What a slimey scummy thing to do. What ever happend to just being honest and where's your integrity?
I cleaned up 8 or 9 PCs this July with XP Antivirus 2008 and 2009. Don't be fooled. That fucker is the causes all sorts of hell. It removes display window tabs such as screen savers and background. It does this to prevent you from rooting it out of the sytem. I've also seen it modify logon registry setting. Clear it out and the infected files, and you will send the machine into an endless log-on / log-off mode.
I found AVG to be very effective at removing the hidden crap. So far, this malware has slipped past Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro (all corporate editions).
Actually, I think that's part of the DOCSIS spec. Time Warner, Cox, and Comcast exhibit this behavior.
When you first power on the Cable Modem, it will seek out the first MAC address it sees and *never* lets go of it in memory. The only way to clear the MAC from cache is to unplug the CAT5 cable and physically kill power to the modem (reset).
Again, the ethernet side of the cable modem is NOT hot-swappable. The only way to hot-swap is to ensure all devices are cloned with the same MAC address. A simple solution would be to use a router and hot-swap from it.
While not legal, cutouts that push exhaust straight outside the engine and bypass the exhaust system do improve horsepower.
Not necessarily.
While you will get more torque at the low-end of the RPM range, you might actually be losing overall HP. By having a proper diameter and length of pipe, you can take advantage of the "exhaust savaging" effect.
BTW, my 99 Miata is properly tuned with the right exhaust system.
You see, it's because of Global Warming, that the heat is being transfered INSIDE the planet which in turn causes massive earthquakes and tsunami! If we keep burning fossil fuels, the planet will crack into a bazillion pieces. At this point, a minute gravitational disturbance cause by the distruction of Earth will force the Sun to go super-nova.
Ya, I agree. Unless it's dark and gloomy, it's not really gothic. The idea is to provide a depressing environment when dealing with *evil*. Oh well, I guess most people prefer a Fantasia/WOW vivid look instead.
To each his own. But having a filter option to choose would be nice. I won't hold my breath though.
First you have to break down the levels of crime. I assume you're talking about a level of crime who commits it out of desperation. For these individual, I agree with you. Compassionate support, education and rehabilitation will go a long way. They need to be embraced by the community and not shunned to obscurity. Of course, this only works if that individual *wants* to be helped. You cannot force them otherwise to achieve the previously stated goal.
On the other hand, we really do have nasty socio and psychopaths behind bars. These people literally feed off the misery of others. It's as though a portion of their brain matter is missing that causes them to act like animals (violent rape, murder, serial killing...etc). For these individuals, nothing short of them being executed will change a damn thing. But as a compassionate society, we at *least* keep them behind bars. Exactly where they should stay...
I use XP. I've used a VPN connection (using it as my default gateway) from Shanghai to Houston. But browsing the web is much faster through a strait RDP session back to my desktop.
You would think screen refreshes would take more bandwidth then redirecting HTTP requests, but that doesn't seem to be the case in my experience.
The main (if not only) reason gas gauges are inaccurate is due to the tanks geometry. When you get the opportunity, look at one end of the tank. You will find it's not exactly square, but more hexagonal-ish in shape. Also keep in mind the filler tube will hold a gallon or two on a full tank (topped off). Inside the tank, you have a simple float device that measures capacity.
So what happens when you drive out of the gas station on a full tank? The needle doesn't start dropping until after 20+ miles or so. Then it drops rapidly, slows in the middle, and starts rapidly again.
Having socalised healthcare costs a lot of money and humanity
There. Fixed it for ya.
Let's face it. The whole idea behind socializing healthcare is to reduce the price. Do you really think the medical industry wants to work without reaping the rewards for their hard labor? We're not talking about a non-profit religion. We are talking about JOBS. When you remove the incentive to work hard, people often cut back on the quality of their services or jump ship to another career all together.
Unless you plan on holding a gun to a doctors head and enslaving them to indentured servitude, it's not going to be better than a privatized system either. Even then, I still wouldn't trust the system.
How about better education and consumer reporting of doctors and the service they provide? The price will adjust accordingly and provide the incentive for more people to seek this line of education to join the profession.
They're also a massive manufacturing center and exporting superpower. It's easy to tell China to shape up, when the only reason wealthy Western countries are relatively cleaner is because they outsource most dirty manufacturing to China.
True, but only because the governments of Western nations impose all sorts of enviromental regulations making it too cost prohibited to manufacture locally.
Basically, it's the whole concept of "the path of least resistance" in action.
I honestly, don't know why we still have the embargo against Cuba. I mean, there *was* a reason for it, but that reason has long passed.
I suspect Fidel Castro had some involvment with Kennedy's assassination. I think until Fidel dies, the embargo wont be lifted. Kind of a political "Up Yours" from the US to Cuba. Still doesn't make it right to punish the rest of Cuba's population however as they don't support him, but rather fear him.
Duh! Server software is always more expensive than workstation side. They figure if you own a server, then it has a home to a company with deeper pockets than a single user.
My latest run-in with this was Adobe. Regardless of how many Acrobat 8 licenses you own, you can *not* install it on a Windows Terminal Server without it going into "cripple ware" mode. I've contacted Adobe about this as a technical issue, and I was informed the licenese keys need to Terminal Server aware. Oh, and that will cost you $$$$ above and beyond any ol standard workstation licenese.
My hard drive only kindof worked after that - booting was fine, but there were lots of broken clusters that sent the computer into a (seemingly) infinite loop, forcing the computer to use all CPU resources waiting for the hard drive, in effect freezing it. Slowly but surely, more and more clusters broke down, more and more files got damaged, until I finally bought a new drive.
FYI your drive suffered a "head crash" in which the read/write head literally smacked the platter causing a minor abrasion to the media.
Your lucky that incident wasn't fatal to the drive. You did make a full backup ASAP right? Or did you just ride it out?
A steam engine generates it's energy outside of the combustion chamber. The idea later came to have combustion take place inside the engine as it's more efficient. Why do you think modern engines are called "Internal Combustion Engines".

So are software viruses alive too? The only difference is that one replicates with code in binary, the other uses code in chain of molecules.

Except it's your cable/DSL modem that has it's own MAC. Generally tied to it's own 10.net address. That you CANNOT spoof.
So can they tell which computer behind the network is at fault? No. Can they nail the subscriber of the service? Yes.
No no no no noooo

Ohhh noes!
You're disregarding one of the best reasons for incarceration: rehabilitation
Correct. Just ask anyone in Singapore who've been caned. I'm sure they got rehabilitated real quick!
Being thrown in the slam for X amount of years is one thing. Getting your ass beaten with a stick is whole other experience.
The fact is, corporal punishment works. Fearing pain does keep one's judgement in check.

Just install the 64bit version of Vista with 8GB of memory and be done with it. That solution is cheaper than Server 2008.

Well actually, WWIII was the Cold War. WWIV would be the Holy Wars II: Islam strikes back.
