You cannot group all blacks in one group as atheletes or runners. You have guys like Tiger Woods playing golf, you have black musicians, you have black actors and comedians, you have black doctors and lawyers. The average black person is not a genetic freak just like the average white person is not a genetic freak so when you do tests on genetic freaks the conclusions only apply to genetic freaks.
Should we test Arnold or white hockey players to try and prove whites are better at dealing with cold weather or riding on skates?
Whats the point of this?
Since when was race defined by physique? Every race has its atheletes and genetic freaks. The worlds strongest man was once named Arnold, Physique has nothing to do with winning in sports.
However these distinctions, expressed in terms of SAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT scores, are exactly what determine acceptance to elite universities, law schools, med schools, and these in turn unlock the door to different lifestyles. And these "elite"/highly educated professions are where affirmative action has the greatest effect, for better or worse: for example, in 1997 blacks were 3x as likely to be admitted to UCLA's med school as whites/asians.

Thats because theres less blacks. If we were in Africa and 70-80% of the population was black or if we were in Asia and the population was all Asian don't you think you'd appreciate affirmative action?
But since you think Affirmative Action is useless please go live in Japan for a while and try to get a job there.
Race means culture. The skin and hair do not really require lots of genes yet race is decided based on something as genetically superficial?
How about we decide race based on worth ethic? People who work hard are of a completely seperate race from people who don't? In this case we have people who work hard who come from every skin color as well intelligence from every skin color. I've gone to college and when I was there I've met people from every possible race combination and every one of them had above average intelligence.
Race is cultural not genetic, if you want people to have a work ethic you have to teach them to have one. Perhaps this should be taught in school to children at a younger age instead of hoping the parents come from a cultural backround thats achievement based instead of tribal.
George Bush is of the lazy tribal race yet hes president of the USA so lets please stop with the cultural bias and racism. If you truely believe that intelligence is genetic then you also believe most of the people in the south including Mr.Bush have the bad genes.
The highest IQ's come from Asia but this does not really say that Asian's as a race are "better" than another race. Instead of comparing races lets compare individuals. When you compare races it does make you seem racist.
Its going to be even more bloated now that I hear they want to piggyback open GL on top of freedesktop.
Why cant they make X smaller, more efficient and get rid of all the bloat? Make it modular.
FreeDesktop needs to spend more time on SVG widgets, and animated widgets, better quality 2d instead of wasting their time with OPENGL and on this 3d crap.
We simply are not ready for a next generation 3d interface. If you want that just buy Apple OSX.
Right now we need to match Windows on the 2d interface. The hardware isnt ready for 3d, the software developers arent ready for 3d, and you arent ready for 3d.
" Your logic is very flawed. If the US is not willing to carry out their threat, why would China not simply invade?"
They havent called are bluff yet.
" China will not "NUKE THE HELL OUT OF THE US" because the US would NUKE THE HELL OUT OF CHINA."
There are more Chinese than Americans. China would win easily in a nuke contest. We fear them nuking us more than they fear us nuking them. Now I admit we could nuke them back to the stoneage, but if they nuke us we wont have any survivors. The US is smaller than China, the US has less people than China, and the people in the USA are all concentrated in specific areas while people in China are more evenly distributed. In nuclear war with China we would lose.
"The US would some day recover as perhaps a shadow of our former nation, they would not."
Ah yes a few thousand rich elite Americans will come out of their bunkers and then what? The US will be an empty wasteland and Bill Gates and other rich powerful people will simply go to Europe.
Who is going to rebuild America? The Native Americans? Blacks? Mexicans? Who? The US is a country of immigrants and when all of the workers die, the chiefs will move to Europe.
"Getting into a game of nuclear holocaust with the US is a very stupid idea because in the end you loose. Period. Every US city could be flatted, but that just means everything higher then a few meters if flattened in China. The US just recently reaffirmed that the consequence of using a WMD on the US is getting a WMD thrown back in your face and then some."
Like I said China is one country that does not fear us. We could use all our nukes on them and there will still be enough Chinese people to come here on boats and kill the survivors.
"Taiwan is considered US protected property. The US have made it clear in both words and in law that Taiwan is under US protection. The rhetoric Bush is using against Taiwan right now is just that, rhetoric. Bush doesn't want to fight China, but like ANY American president, Republican or Democrat, he will fight China if he has to protect Taiwan. Being a mildly rational person (or at least having some rational advisors) he is going to go out of his way to avoid fighting China. That isn't to say he wouldn't if he had to, but if the cost of keeping China from going after Taiwan are a few harsh words to Taiwan, he will certainly do it. That doesn't change the fact that at the end of the day there will always be a couple of US carrier battle groups sitting between main land China and Taiwan."
The end result of a Nuclear war with China is worse than the end result of letting China take out Taiwan.
We can always do business with China after they take out Taiwan, but if the US and China go into a nuke contest there will be no US left. So I see this as a bluff.
"Saw what you will on the US, on this one issue they are principled to the point of insane fanaticism that makes Islamic terrorist look like sane and rational people. The US would defend Taiwan in an instant from China, and the US wouldn't think twice about respond to any nuclear attack from China with their own. In other words, the US would risk absolute destruction of all parties involved (themselves included) then let a nation like Taiwan fall to a nation like China. "
China has nothing to lose. Most of Europe would not help us in a War with China. What would happen here is the Superpower who everyone loves to hate, the USA would be brought back to the stone ages and in the end will be just like China with the only difference that China will have more survivors. Suddenly some country in Europe will become the super power, perhaps Russia.
Who is going to rebuild America?
You see China has nothing to lose, most of them already are living in the stone ages, so why not take us a step back with a nuclear war which they'd win simply because in the end when we both are in the stone age there will be more Chinese people.
Also do not expect rich CEO's to be loyal, Bill Gates will come out of his bunker and run back to Europe along with most other survivors.
The better approach would be to just let the user store any application window as an icon using iconify, and then zoom into the application window turning it into a full window again when they choose.
They could store these windows on a Deskbar, Enlightenment did this right, Expose is actually a copy of Enlightenment so why steal from OSX which stole from Enlightenment which most likely stole from something else?
IS that 300 million or 300 thousand?
If thats 300 million, Microsoft is in DEEP SHIT!
South Korea is the most high tech internet connected nation in the world.

Tommy Chong deserves to rot under the jail.
Tommy Chong deserves to go to prison! I hope they keep him locked up for the rest of his life. Weed is illegal, he sets a bad example for kids, he promotes weed, organized crime, terrorism, gangs, put the guy in prison for life and set an example. Maybe little kids will think twice before copying their hero Snoop Dogg or Eminem.

I tried it too, its actually slower than just using this very same feature which has been in E16 for years now. NOthing new here, move on.

Improve on stuff! Innovate damnit

Kdrive is for the Desktop.
What do you plan to do about it?
I don't understand why they don't just work on cairographics and then port KDE to SVG.
