There is some evidence that the Chinese economy is unstable. Right now its in a boom cycle due to rapid industrialization of its previously agricultural areas. This has brought a lot of investment from outside interests. However this growth is very much like the.com boom in the 90s. If China doesn't do something to stabilize growth soon they could face a massive recession.
Personally I think the US needs to shape up quite a bit very soon. Many of the current trends are similar to the culture of the Roman empire just before it broke apart.
Yep that fact can even effect game balance in MMORPGS.
When women have 3 sets of clothes for mens 2 then the male characters have less choice in armor. This in some cases lead to points where most of the armor you find is for females and females can therefore get their armor cheaper.
He really said rusty, but you know how those asian languages are with their Ls and Rs.:)
Nah seriously. How is this important?
If the robots need to reproduce they will have to have ways to build other robots. Robots can't use chromozonal mapping for protien creation like animals can. Therefore cromosomes are useless for robots.
Of course the article could have completely misquoted him or misunderstood him, but in that case how is this news?
Dan Rather was given retirement. Most of the problems he had were because he would not publish a retraction even when faced with evidence of the problem until public opinion forced him to. Even after he published the retraction he continued to state that even though the memos were false that the story was true despite having no proof of this.
Four people do not constitute an entire news organization.
Haven't heard of Palast, but a Google web search shows him accusing Bush of lots of things, but doesn't show any "evidence" other than one difficult to read memo with a censor block on it. I can't say for sure that he is wrong, but I'm sure if he could back up his claim that CNN, the NYT, and everything else with the possible exception of Fox News would still be airing it every minute on the minute.
No one will take on Bush's people... except, you know, pretty much every Democrat in the public eye. Just look at Boxer and Kennedy's attacks on Rice. The only thing they had to suffer from was the public's reaction to their hysterical accusations.
As for the CIA front being nuked, I'm pretty sure that it was already compromised by the leak.
Your last sentence is completely out of the blue. Where the heck in all you mentioned above do corporate effects come into play? The only corporation you mentioned is CBS.
I hate to point out the obvious, but the extremists are already at the point where they will attack any targets they can.
If they stopped getting support from other Muslims they would quickly kill themselves off.
The leaders that need to be brought to heel are the leaders who are oppressing their people to maintain their own power. I would give you a list, but I'm sure you've heard it already.
I don't see what people are always critisizing Walmart for. It has become a large and successful store because it treats its customers like kings, and provides them with what they ask of it.
You might disagree with its labor practices, but everyone I've encountered have said that its benefits package is amazing.
I love this line.
The only way a Republican run government can keep a hold on stupid people: Make them think that Christianity + the opposition of "evil" (read: gay rights and terrorism) makes you intelligent.
I add this.
The only way a Democrat run government can keep a hold on stupid people: Make them think that Activism + the opposition of "evil" (read: Christianity and Republicans) makes you intelligent.

Q: Which system has zero guarantee of future benefits.
The current one where the money is just taken and thrown into a giant bucket and thrown at any problem that comes along.
Most of what is attractive to me is that the main cost here comes directly from the government's budget.
For some reason I don't trust the government with money no matter who is in office. What with the $500 hammers and all.
Try the soylent green. Its delicious.
I passed my high school MS Office^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H computer class with a 110.
I was pissed when they refused to let the extra 10 percent transfer to another class.
Triangulation
GTA + SimCity = Streets of Sim City
I loved that game and its wacky physics engine.
Accelerate to max speed, throw car into a 180 degree spin, release the slide button and shoot in the other direction at max speed.
That gave me a head on collision with someone chasing me so many times.
They need to make a Streets version for the newer sim city games.
Cool a new IE only feature.
Just what we all need...

Ah forget it. Its not worth it if you have to explain it.

(Well actually thats kind of a good thing. What with the remaking of the universe and all...)
He should have at least considered the fact that someone has to repair the screens.
1. The one who repairs them knows how they work.
2. The one who knows how they work can prevent them from watching him.
3.???
4.Profit!!
I think we will get 3d desktops when we have common 3d interfaces.
I also think we will get common 3d interfaces when we get 3d desktops.
So its a bit of a catch 22.
And you didn't print them out and paste them all over the campus?
The shame.
Good catch. :)
And it actually supports my post more.
Right...
Okay your points in order.

I consider it more scary when the numbers can't make you out.
Because then somehow you have travled half way around the world, and back in time to Soviet Russia.
