I always that that its name was hydrogen hydroxide....well that's the way my chem teacher taught me...
In Soviet Russia, Hydrogen (and Moderators) burns YOU!
ummm....no. There is no Chloride in the above equation. Sodium powder + Water = Hydrogen + Sodium Hydroxide...and maybe something related to the silica gel they're using...
Nobody called Nike glorious or benevolent. What they're doing is wrong. But like I stated above simply boycotting their products might make you feel all good about yourself for having done The Right Thing, but in the short-term you've created more unemployment, starvation and loss of income, which extends to the medium-term at the very least. You want to get kids out of work, then get them into school, and pressure the government of those countries to implement better laws. Which are difficult and of course nobody in the rich world wants to do. So instead you take the easy way out. I live in a country where Child Labour exists - India - and I see what those kids are exposed to. There's no racism involved here, it's just simple facts - these kids work in the factories because they have to - it's either that or begging on street corners and dying due to starvation or any other number of poverty-related diseases. When you stop buying nike products, all you're doing is putting more kids on the street, not into schools or giving them a "better" life. If they don't die in the factory, they'll die on the street corners. You achive nothing. Furthermore, these multinational companies have done anything but take over the local economy. Maybe in small countries, but that is definitely not the case here. You may accuse me of racism, but it is you who has fallen for the regular stereotypes. Indonesia's economy, and India's and many other countries' economies are far bigger and more resilient than what you think you know. The only true way to get rid of child labour is, as I've said above, to improve the primary education systems in those countries, and India bears me out. While the secondary school system here is pretty good, the primary system is absolute shit.
Have to agree with you. Child labour is a much more complex situation than the NGOs/Left-wingers would have you believe. The best way to stop child labour is not to ban products from the companies that use child labour, but to find ways to imrpove the primary education systems in the countries where child labour is taking places. Countries with lousy primary education systems are the ones with highest amounts of child labour. When I say improve the primary education system, I mean ensure that ALL primary schools conform to a basic, high standard, and that admission is open to all. Boycotting Nike Shoes (if they're using child labour) just means 2 things:
More expensive Nike shoes, and a lot of children who will starve to death due to no money, or abused to death because they didn't bring enough money back to support their drunken no-good parents.
I call shotgun on the Tank. I've always wondered what those Autobahn things were all about. That and the beer. Mmmmm... beer......And I'm sure the Germans will gladly accept us as they're benevolent overlords who will gift them some democracy and freedom..... oh.....wait....
But clearly not a a grammar nazi. It's I am a spelling nazi. 'a' before consonants, and 'an' before vowels...unless that was a typo, in which case you're not a very good spelling nazi:-p

Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of zombies? (Wow that works on so many levels...)
In Korea, only old people are zombies.
and of course...:
1) Lots of Zombies buy a Non-linuz operating system with a browser that has a blue E logo
2) ????
3) Profit!!
Well although you're partially right, you do require "intelligence" to survive. The smarter dog/cat/human/microbe wins - smarter in this case could easily mean the one that figures out it needs a gun to kill all the rest, or that it needs to go work out at the gym to kick every other competitor's ass. Or that it could simply kill off a virus with an injection, and thus immunize its species, ensuring survival, until the virus becomes "intelligent" enough to fight back. It all stems from survivavl. You do what you do to stay alive - well most of us anyway - and the ones that don't get killed off. Evolution. End of story.
That's all fine and dandy with Word, but has anybody seen the weird way IE behaves.
If you double click the IE icon, say 3 times, there will be 3 IEXPLORE.EXE processes running, but if you if you only double-click the IE icon once, and then type CTRL-N (for a new window) there is still only one IE Process. Weird. No wonder it's difficult for those characters to move to tabbed browsing...
Well not flaming you, but i think that Return of the King - the movie was absolute crap. I thought Jackson got the first two just right, by filtering out some of the superflous stuff, and leaving the juicy stuff in. But ROTK was just plain bad in my opinion. I wanted to stab my balls with hot knives and put on electrodes imported from Gitmo when I saw Aragorn start to sing. Ew. Hell the movie just turns out to be the Riders of Rohan vs all of Sauron's army. Where is the gathering of Gondor's forces? Where is the uniting of Gondor's people by Aragorn (from the Stone of Erech) - which adds some legitamacy to his becoming King. In the movie , he just kind of says "Hey Buddy, I'm the King'.
Because I'm a karma whore, I do believe that it's a reference to the animated series South Park. Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to link to it, but you can find it on Wikipedia. Just look up Slashdot Subculture... or some such thingy-ma-jiggy.
You're what might be called a typical cynical indian dolt. And it's people like you that hold out country back, and allow injustices to occur. Here, read this and STFU.
That being said, I do feel that the prices being charged are a complete load of bullcrap...
explorer? PSHAW! Everybody knows that the Great Satan's name in reverse Mesopotamian is inetinfo.exe. Don't you dare mod me down or I shall curse you with the following: May you be forced to plug a memory leak in a Visual Basic app sharing C++ structs over the Christmas Holidays....

Maybe that's the cause behind Slate no longer being owned by Microsoft! COINCIDENCE? I think not! In Communist China, Google searches for YOU!
Amazing nobody else noticed the irony. A story about censorsip, only getting through if it has the obligatory Microsoft-sucks statement....
