What make you think they are not there to help the North Korean's? Didn't China enter the Korean War when the North was almost defeated? An assult by the North with China assisting from the start could possibly push the US and South Koreans into the sea before additional troops could be moved to stop them? Coordinate that with an assult on Taiwan would get both China and North Korea what they want, and would leave the US with no troops on the ground. The US would be facing a beach assult against the most populous country in the world who also has nukes. When you figure in the complaining about only a thousand dead in Iraq, would the US be willing to make that beach assult? or would the US do some multilateral talks, probably some sanctions, and bitch and moan for a decade or two about Chinese aggresion?
Hey, if your dumb enough to lock yourself into 128k at $55 it's your fault. Switch to another company that gives better rates. I've got Comcast for $45 a month with no lock in and 3Mb download. I used to have 1.5Mb download but Bellsouth was gaining some ground with DSL. To maintain marketshare Comcast doubled everybodies max download rate with no change in price. Your right that profit motive doesn't encourage improvment or inovation. At least not by itself. You have to have competetion for the profit to spur growth. As long as the other guy is breathing down a companies neck to get those profits the company with have to do things to keep the customers.
I've lived out in the country, and it's fun. Just my opinon of course. I really want to have a 30-50 acre horse farm. If I can do that while having an it job I will love it.
If you impose those conditions on the ground what are you going to do with the people who can't afford a car less than 10 years old and can't get to work without the car?
Is this really that big a deal? People who currently drive will have to adjust to the new methods this type of transportation takes. Those who haven't learned to drive yet won't have any more trouble learning this than learning to drive.
Think of it as evolution in action. The idiots will kill themselves thus improving the gene pool. Unlike today where most idiots survive there problems and get to sue companies for not prventing their stupidity.
Here's a question I've been meaning to ask. If we can't detect anything over 30 frames per second, how come 60 Hz is the minimum that monitors display? Isn't 1 Hz 1 cycle per/sec?
I think that they are talking about an expansion on the same idea. This is not just sinking the ship it is adding a current to the ship so that coral will grow at an acclerated rate.
If none of us have a choice then how can there be any justification for any laws, rules, or punishments? If we have no choice in a matter then there is no point in any of them since they won't change the way people act.
I'm not going to pay thousands more for a car that will break down sooner. American auto has not recovered because many of the improvments in manufacturing have been fought by the unions. Most of the processes that increase quality also increase efficancy. If the line is more efficient then you don't need as many workers. The unions have fought everthing that reduces the numbers of workers needed.
This only works if you can get rid of bad workers. My brother works at Publix and this is how they do it. Pay at the top of the range and you always have a pool of willing new hires. Then you can set higher standards for hiring and toss out the slackers. Resulting in a workforce of good hard working people whoes higher productivity and motivation cover the higher labor cost. If, as in France, it is almost impossible to get rid of poor workers then the higher pay method doesn't work. Your good people get fed up with having to take the the slack from the lazy guy and leave. Eventually the unremovable slackers build up and you have high labor costs with the same level of people as everybody else.
What and the UN will do any more than the League of Naitons did? They are made from the same people. If people are willing to talk then it makes a good framework to negoitate. If someone doesn't want to be honest it make a great framework for stalling and propoganda. Remember "Peace in our time"?
I thought the biggest bar to linux adoption was that they didn't have the software support that windows does. How is it that I'm reading complaints that windows doesn't have the sofware support to properly benchmark against linux? I'm a little confused by this contradiction.

I think we are mixing up two different scenarios. You are talking about mass causality while the rest of the discussion is about normal ER operation.

All he Indian here are busy driveing cabs. Also, watch out for Iran, they have threatened to cut of the supply of 7-11 attendents.
If I can't fly this car into the city to get to work what good is it?

They will untill I mod mine. I never really liked all those speed and lane suggestions.

ISP's will offer dial-up as long as it is profitable to do so.
Your now getting into the difference between murder and killing. Murder is wrong. The question is, when you killed the intruder was it murder?

There is that malaria thing that DDT seems to help out with.

Isn't the whole point of hiring a good legal team that they will use each opponents mistake at the most opportune time?

I know the 8000 series and up do not have this problem.

I just upgraded my cell phone (I couldn't buy a new battery anymore) and the cheapest phone there was a tri-band.
