In the countryside, where 70 percent of India's population lives, the government has reported that about 100,000 farmers committed suicide between 1993 and 2003.
Hmmm, 70% of 1 billion inhabitants, that's 700 million farming people. So in ten years, of these 700 million, 100,000 have committed suicide, netting 10,000 a year. Which is 1/70,000; way, way below the western or japanese averages.
>The former is authoritarianism, but the latter is being tough on crime.
I see no difference in that. The real difference is how the laws are determined that criminalize certain parts of the population. Ethical and moral codes are not absolute.
So you're suggesting that anyone who can say where their ancestors lived 3000 years has every right to go and demand that they live there now and the present inhabitants should have no say in the matter ?

well it must sound ridiculous, I guess it makes more sense to just nuke people off the planet.
If you want to get down to it, Israel is at the foundation a bunch of 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation European squatters occupying land belonging to others. That and a recent enormous infusion of Africans to boost the population.
According to my history teacher, jews have been living in that land since at least 1000 bc until the muslims declared them unislamic and kicked them out. The land that they occupied early the previous century was afaik bought and paid for; the rest wass assigned by the UN. If muslim countries do not agree they are free to leave the UN.
As to wiping them off the map. Maybe that's a good idea at this point. They've made their bed since 1947 and now complain about having to sleep in it. If the US stopped pumping public and private funding into that territory, they'd have to change their tune quickly and arrive at a peacable solution instead of constantly provocing violence.
While we're wiping nations off the earth, let's wipe the following nations off the map as well: Iran, Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia and the UAE. Especially the last one. How would you feel about that?
And while on the subject of "constantly provoking violence" hmmmm did you see the video of the israeli kids beheading a muslim? burning the muslim flag? calling out for global warfare against non-israeli's? burn embassies? dress their kids up with explosives? glorify the ak-47? could go on and on.
Now there's no reason why all those people can't live in peace and work towards eachother's benefit, but in order to do that the, state sanctioned racism, apartheid, genocide and terrorism on Israel's side and the racism and terrorism on the other side have to stop.
hmmm why do you think israel is an apartheid state. afaik there is even a jihadist in the knesset. israel makes it hard for non-citizens though. what a load of crap in one sentence without proof to support it.
damn, you must either be very ignorant or trying to obscure the stuation in favor of the jihadists.
When this happens, content providers will have to begin rolling out custom Wimax networks. If you cannot reach Google very fast through YaHooFi, but you can through GoogliFi, which in its turn blocks Msn.
It won't be long until the pc owners will combine their own Wimax access points and form a completely free unwired network. This is inevitable.

I don't agree entirely. I usually don't care about reinstalling a unix systems; a few config files here and there and the machine is back. restoring (frequently changing) home directories in a different issue though...
The Dutch 'stichting thuiskopie' (home copy association) is under firing for selling DVDR's that were seized during actions on fleemarkets etc.
These DVDRs were imported 'illegaly' i.e. no fees were paid to the recording industries, so the organisation gave the retailers two options: turn them over or be sued. Naturally the retailers complied; then the organisation would re-sell the discs keeping all profits for themselves.
This seems very much like a clever extortion scheme if you ask me.

I can't name ONE song or artist today that is as good as have been in the past. Artists from the early 70's were probably the last ones that will last longer then 5 minutes.
Please, broaden your musical taste. There is actually great progress in the EM scene, where songs last 10 minutes, artists are as anonymous as they can be (often creating a new alias for each record) and the music is actually progressing and getting better and better over the years. I have records that are over five years old for which i'd kill (not literally) And this is just one example, there are many more areas in music outside mainstream that progress well.
Please note that Mainstream Music is just what it is - made not to offense or be enjoyed by a particular group of people, but to make as much money as possible and reach the largest common audience possible.

Actually, he's polling whether it will create a word war . Apparently the worLd war has already started.

This is what people call biased journalism.

I see no difference in that. The real difference is how the laws are determined that
criminalize certain parts of the population. Ethical and moral codes are not absolute.
I bet you wrote those wikipedia articles..
FTFA: 18,000 in the US and 2,000 in the EU sums up to 20,000. But the story
headline is still incorrect.
So you're suggesting that anyone who can say where their ancestors lived 3000 years has every right to go and demand that they live there now and the present inhabitants should have no say in the matter ?

Let's just wait 10-15 years and see how the US is doing then, and how they feel about their european ancestors, mmmkay?
Excuse me.
The US and its private companies built and paid for the Internet. Billions were spent on research and development. We've been at it for over 40 years.

Please explain how to install Mozilla on a generic linux box without being root. If the installer binaries are infected, well, you're screwed.
hmm i tried your code:
.. does it ever get to infect another? There is also someting 'overflowing', it's called a 'stack' , hmmmm?
void infect(this-host){
infect(this-host);
}
but it keeps infecting my host only

Lots of stuff WILL be thrown up in the air if someone connects a USB wireless adapter.
Really. And how will this person be able to install the driver and configure the network?
If you really want to get data out you can always take a screenshot with your mobile, though.
