When a company moves its manufacturing division from the U.S. to Malaysia to take advantage of the industry-friendly labour laws in that country, they're applauded for their ingenuity. You're applauding companies that moves jobs out of the US?
On the other hand, when U.S. consumers take advantage of consumer-friendly copyright laws overseas, they're criminals. Allofmp3 is not the criminals here, it's the US consumers who illegally imports pirated material. If you go to Holland and buy some hashish, the DEA doesn't come after the coffeeshop, but they come after you if you import it to the US.
If it's not contaband in the country you bought it, and it is in the US, the only criminal is you if you import it.
and so does wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China apparently, so how come McDonalds Japan is getting blamed for this?
What will happen if the US starts banning flights? Some european countries could start banning US flights, which admittedly would be kind of grotesque.
What financial aid are you talking of? I might have been living under a rock for my entire 24 years, but to the best of my knowledge, the only financial aid european countries has ever gotten from the US was the Marshall plan.
Besides you're forgetting that dropping these demands might help the US image problem in europe.
In most cases of cancer(as I recall it it's about 70%), it is found that the protein p53 is in someway defect. p53 is the protein responsible for during a "checksum" of the DNA string, and is damaged instruct the cell to repair its DNA or undergo apoptosis. The damage to the p53 can, amongst other things, be caused by disease.
Same goes for me. I tend judge the software (in most cases, like on tucows and the like) on the screenshot, if the interface looks like it's accompanied by "cool" sounds or has lots of "pretty" colours, it will probably be a pain in the butt to use and I don't even bother to download it.
If you gave me $1500, I could get you an iBook, rip the screen off, and patch it back on woth duct tape;-) Especially since I never would have to touch it again, let alone meet you... I should start my own ebay store, selling hardware I tinkered with(read: FUBAR'ed)
Last time I checked, iTunes Music Store had music videos. Put the video iPod on the market, let the movie folks see the potential just in music videos.
In March GoogleGuy commented that this sort of activity usually happens to low quality websites

Since the PowerPC architecture(I know, wikipedia is not to be trusted, but I can't really be bothered to find another reference) is based on IBM's POWER architecture, and I don't _guess_ that IBM would be licensing it to Intel, isn't IBM going to be pi**ed? or are Apple going to be using IA-64 instead? or x86(no it's not a serious guess, but it would be cool if I could run MacOS X on my P4)
Adopting Intel chips would help ensure that future Macintosh systems could meet the price and performance of products from tough rivals such as Dell Inc..
Can you really compare Apple and Dell? I don't know any persons(personally) who uses apple for their home computer, but I do know a few who use them for work(video or sound editing)

Maybe it's just me, but I have yet to find something for iTunes on win2k. I would like to use ogg, but when neither my portable mp3(lol) player nor my program of choice supports it then...

WHAT? You're backing up to a STRIPE SET?... oh well good luck with that;-)
sounds like you've got a pretty good job, being able to do all that, especially when it comes to the power bill. That setup is just not affordable by your normal outsourced geek.
That way he doesn't have to worry about things like hypothermia, sharks, giant squid, icebergs, polar bears, or being attacked by a creche of killer penguins.
hmm polar bears in the atlantic? polar bears != stupid Norvigeans Penguins? PENGUINS? The only penguins on the northern hemisphere is in zoos, good thing too. Seen that OS they made? just think what they could do to a swimmer...
pretty much OT, but I gotta ask. why is "Christian Science Monitor" an oxymoron? studying physics, has only convinced me (more) that there is a God. I mean try explaining gravity otherwise, or "the big bang". We have NO idea how to explain it. Even Einstein admitted this in his later years. Stating that christianity is anti-science is just plain ol' weird.
But when it comes to religion, there is about twice as many opinions as there are people, so let's not start a flamewar, please.
This is why creative commons is so much better for works of art, sure it's not entirely free, GNU, RMS and whatnot, but it'll work alot better, and we'll all be alot happier.
Not having RTFA I don't know how MS wants people to use this, but if it's for all input, it won't be good. I used to use a trackball, and I ruined my righthand thumb. I can just operate my cellphone, but even though I haven't used it today, I still have a slight pain in my thumb.
Well when the drive is othervise dead, then it can't hurt to try. Did it on so far to cd burners, and they came back from the dead. uh... zombie drives
BINGO! Since Shakespeare already wrote all the dialogue, it's sort of "right" for a play or other visual performance(but it makes it extremely dull to read... ok, I'm weird, but I HATE MacBeth). While LotR or tHGttG were originally books, and as books contained alot more detail(mentioning of thoughts or other stuff) than a movie could ever dream of having. But since it's the little details that makes us love the books, the films shouldn't be attempted... or perhaps we should just learn that, whenever a book is made into a film, we shouldn't look forward to it.
