Maybe they're just more educated about the overstated impact of outsourcing compared to the natural churn of job losses/gains in the economy as a whole.
to word everything as, like, a question? You know?
"Like, I was like, down at the pool hall? And this totally cute guy came over? And I was like, Oh my God! I totally didn't know what to say? And he was like, 'whatever!'"
of when I was in Mallorca getting polaxed every night. The fact that I had to use cash meant that I could pace myself and not blow all my money, as you would do very quickly when you're so drunk that you could lose track of how much (or little) money you can spare. If I was able to just wave my hand and get a drink I'd be bankrupt in no time. I think that's a more pressing concern than any privacy issues.
I thought you were supposed to go to hell after you die. At least that's what they tried to tell me when giving me reasons to believe in this invisible dude with white hair and a beard.
Babylon 5 got it right, I loved the way the Star Furies could spin around and fly backwards. The White Stars were the same, they didn't move like atmospheric jet planes as they do in other Sci Fi shows. As you say, it's easier to do in anime, and it was the same in B5 which was all CGI special effects.
All computers make all sorts of little bleeping noises every time something moves on the screen. Just like motorists are capable of driving along with their heads turned 90 degrees to face their passenger and can drive for endless miles through the traffic without looking where they're going.
What I'm saying is that they have towns, roads, electricity and a middle class in Africa too. Some people post here as if the entire continent is a disease-ridden refugee camp.
The last time the IT business in Africa was mentioned, this place was bombarded by ignorant and short-sighted comments about how sustenance was a more pressing priority and that the west should concentrate on sending food aid rather than stimulating growth in industries like this. A bit like the clueless anti-globalisation protestors:
Members of Jubilee 2000
burned a laptop computer on a
beach here in Okinawa to show
their disappointment with G8's
failure to fulfill last year's
promise to cancel up to $100
billion in Third World debt.
So far, just nine countries
have qualified for debt relief of
up to $15 billion. Jubilee 2000
says debt relief is the first step
to ending the cycle of poverty,
since poor countries are spend-
ing more money to pay back
debt than on basic needs.
"You can't eat a laptop," said
Barrett. "It's a crisis, it's an
emergency, and it's something
that they've failed to deal with this weekend."
Don't get me wrong, canceling debt can be a good thing, but it's good that African economies can develop intellectual property for export if natural resources are not abundant.
All they have to do is reverse the polarity of the anti-proton injectors in the warp core, re-route the resulting subspace pulse through the plasma conduits, synchronise the comm-system to transmit the frequency of the subspace distortion field to the deflector dish and emit a sub-tachyon particle scan over a wide area. That'd surely reveal what they're looking for!
the technology was so limited that it was barely usable
Joe Average the phone user could only access content that the phone operator deemed worth giving him access to through their proprietary menus. The process of punching in a URL required an A4-sized page of instructions, hardly the way to endear the public to a technology that purports to give 'internet access.'
Open standards can make a huge difference in this market.
of a guy who felt the call of nature and went to relieve himself behind a hedge, as you do. Little did he know that there was an electric fence running through the hedge - he soon found out the hard way that water conducts!
Diesel fuel is a lot safer in that respect. A freind of mine who drove a diesel car was in an accident once, and he and his girlfriend had to be cut out. If they'd been driving a petrol car there'd have been a bigger chance that they'd have been burned to a crisp.

So 9/11 was all the fault of the gun control lobby and the communists? Anybody else you'd like to blame while you're at it? How about the Jews?

Let's all go to Uganda to by cheap pills then.
People don't speak so loudly. [ducks]
Dude, you strayed way off topic as your post progressed. Yes, branding people by force is evil. Nobody is being branded by force here. RTFA.

Ah, but you can decide how much cash you're gonna bring before you start drinking.

As long as it doesn't record my bank details and party affiliation, I don't see what harm it would do. It would do more good than harm IMHO.

Best argued post I've read all day.

We can do without shit like that here.

Try living in Europe. Last I heard it was about $6.50 per gallon.
