And another thing - why should the country that fruitlessly warned the US Marines to watch out for Hezbolla truck bombs in Beirut take advice from you? Maybe unlike you they have been thinking of the problems and dealing with some of them for many years. I'll give you time to look up what I've written about since you probably don't even know about that major incident because it happened outside California.
Maybe the first step would be people with less of a clue than average putting up idiotic ideas as solutions. The Israeli situation is both very different and nobody is pretending it is anything other than managing the risk.
and also you claim to know more about terrorism than Wikipedia
I haven't put forward anything other than pointing you towards massive holes in your understanding of the issue - so sorry - you are not fooling anyone by trying to offload your faults onto me. Maybe you should start with wikipedia and keep going before telling people what to do instead of insulting half the fucking world in your ignorance.
Norway? If you had a clue you'd know it's due to a single incident that skewed the number so would never have brought that flawed metric up. Your comments about Israel's efforts to keep the pot from boiling over instead of solving anything in a local situation were another thing to demonstrate how worthless your advice is.
Why do people get off on telling others what to do when they know less than what the average person on the street does?
Maybe I should have point bullet points in front of every sentence to help you comprehend that it was in point form, but I had no idea you would be so lazy. To put things in simple English since you seem to have trouble with it, there are plenty of subject matter experts in France that do not need advice from someone like you that has apparently been living under a rock and had no idea of the very long list of incidents that have occurred there. I'm not French but I do not ignore international affairs to such a breathtakingly insular level.
Do you get the idea now about how your initial post insulted just about everyone? It's the sort of thing people will point at as an example of how stupid Americans are so you are really letting the side down.
I thought I had dumbed it down as far as it could go. Governments need money and they get it in ways that they can.
You would expect people in a country that revolted over taxation without representation to get a bit more worked up about those getting representation well over and above those that are being taxed.
It's not bullshit. It is far easier for the government to tax you than it is for them to tax Apple. I've got no idea why I have to state to obvious twice.
Sorry, I can't make sense of your comment as a whole
Kind of my point. If you knew enough to understand you wouldn't have written "France and other countries will learn", but you've clearly not bothered to pay much attention to the issue you are commenting on and thus what is considered normal general knowledge seems mysterious.
Ask the people who sell shareware for $5 about their software getting pirated and you'll understand why your suggestion is indistinguishable from a joke.
The answer is the money has to come from somewhere or you may as well be living in a hole in the ground in Syria. What is a fair amount is complicated and frequently disputed, but remember, every bit of tax Apple dodges is a bit more incentive for your government(s) to try to get it out of your skin instead since you are a softer target. Hence it pisses people off when Apple avoids tax and they cannot.
It was the turning point and is more interesting than blaming Clinton for letting things keep sliding a bit and Baby Bush for not even bothering to turn up for work and try to stop it falling apart.
What you suggest is impossible is the normal state of play for sugar, steel, beef and I'm sure many other protected industries. It backfired though. A nation fat on expensive corn syrup because a protected market has priced local sugar too high and cheap sugar from anywhere else on the planet is not allowed in.
How about wrapping around someone's arm and saying it can find out if they are telling the truth? Oh wait - already done - by a comic book writer no less and endorsed by J. Edgar Hoover the king of kickbacks.
France has far more experience of terrorism than the USA. You may have heard of a country called Algeria. You may have heard of another called Lebanon. You may have heard of a few things that happened in Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. You haven't? Why are you giving advice then?
Not even a floor, just the top of a mine shaft. However revenge fantasies are stupid and capital punishment requires too much messing about to avoid killing off the wrong people by mistake. Just try the fucker for his crimes and let him rot in jail - oh wait - already done - case closed.
Just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Sometimes "the numbers" look good so people do it to progress their careers at the expense of their employer. A steelworks I worked at for a three month gig as a contractor went that way and they managed to go from record profit to completely shut down in under three years - but "the numbers" were good. Tons of steel per permanent employee hour was up through the roof - but so were costs. In software terms I'm using a package where permanent staff were laid off and contractors were brought in to do a complete rewrite in 2003. They've updated the GUI but not much else in the twelve years since. Last I heard the contractors were working out of Pakistan, maybe India was costing too much?
A few years before this site started my time was being charged out to clients at $100/hr (and I was being paid $10/hr - bastards). Many tasks that don't take a lot of time to complete are billed out at high hourly rates.
Ask the clothing piece workers how the "gig economy" goes. It's nothing new it's just a different sector of work bound for Bangladesh or whoever is bidding the least.
you can't remold the shape of a face that much unless you have a severe accident.
Hence the missing bridge for continuity:) Oddly enough that was the excuse in the recent movie "Predestination" for a character having a face that his own mother wouldn't recognise.
Since Vader ends up being mashed up and on life support anyway that sort of excuse could have worked with the multiple changes if some effort had been put into plot and writing. I never made it past movie two of the prequels due to a long list of annoyances of which ripping off Snarf from Elmore without credit to do the very annoying Jar-Jar was just a minor one. So many big names just turning up to do roll call because they couldn't be given a chance to upstage a cartoon stereotype that could have escaped from "song of the south". The problem isn't really Jar-Jar, the problem is nothing was supposed to be better than it.
Undo came in with version 5, so only a couple of years after those annoying fanboys were telling me it would never be needed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...
Anything else you want to do other than call me a liar based on nothing but a guess? Were you really paying attention during those 30 years?
In my case it's making me happy that I never saw the third one and didn't bother rewatching the first two. They had Brian Blessed on the payroll and instead jar-jar is filling the air with noise.

To use a car analogy you are comparing a new F1 race car to an old truck with two trailers that have been attached over the years :)
Seriously?
It was spun off as a library so it wouldn't be the largest part of gimp, not that I agree with that point either.
You sir however do indeed seem to be a tool. A complete and utter one.
What is it with these people?
Because it worked so well in Dune.
Yes it's sarcasm.
