As American citizens, we have the right to dictate how and why people may visit our country.
Sure. No issues.
If we do not want illegal immigrants flooding our country, then as Americans we can choose otherwise. If we do not want cheap, foreign, H1-B labor flooding our country, then we can also choose otherwise.
H1-B != Illegal Immigrant. Duh. Yes, if you DON'T want H1-B labour in your country (it is not cheap - they get paid American Salaries - the same as what an 'American' would make) feel free to stop it. But your government is not stopping it. That could be, because people on H1-B contribute to the Economy as much as they take from it. The salary they get has taxes medicare and soc-sec deducted which THEY WILL NOT SEE, unless they become citizens, which, btw is very difficult.
We should not be made ashamed because our distant ancestors were immigrants.
Nobody is shaming you. They are simply saying your heritage is the same as these people give or take 50/100 years. Once upon a time, your grandpa/great-grandpa was not American. What if he'd been kicked out too, instead of welcomed in? All of this pride about being American wouldn't be there. Instead you might have been a snooty European? The question is what makes you so much more special than these guys who are doing nothing more than trying to make a better life for themselves, just like you? Newsflash: There's an inscription on the Statue of Liberty which says: "Bring me your poor, huddled masses, yearning to breathe free". I'm assuming that sums up the fundamental identity of America - a nation of immigrants in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. You want to stop immigration, start by modifying your Statue of Liberty....which may happen considering America seems to be becoming "Jesusland" these days...
Seriously! After 9/11, I felt like getting a T-Shirt made with the following written on it: I AM AN INDIAN. I AM ON YOUR SIDE. It was just frikkin' ridiculous.
Well it is aptly named "TimePort", heh. I don't think u suck as a consumer though - I think you're actually a 'smart' consumer. You want to perform specific functions, and have bought something which fulfills those specific needs. Apart from the very high-end models (which have only recently broken the 1MP level), camera phones are good for nothing except getting 'up-skirt' pictures. A colour screen, a ringtone that doesn't jar (this is POV, I guess), speakerphone and Snake are all I ask from my phone:-p 3120
You forgot Apple-Moto, you insensitive CLOD! In Soviet Russia, Mobile phones make lame jokes (like these) about YOU!
And for the grand-finale...(rimshot)...I, for one, welcome our single-mouse-button-mp3-player-trendsetting-moto-b randing overlords.
Surely you know Bill of Redmond too? And if the Americans bought the language from the British, the patent system is truly broken and I'm not the least bit surprised the world Hates America. Who the fuck wants to say ALOOOMINUM anyway? I like saying ALU-MINI-UM, thanks. And I like the fact that I don't confuse my parent's siblings with small insects found in picnic baskets.
Yes, we know Slashdot is American-centric, but condiering you took the time out to push a few buttons, you could have pushed a few more and found out that High Street is the british equivalent of Main Street. So, if you have a shop on high street, it means you're in the upmarket, commercial part of town, you fucking neanderthal.
Ok, parent is anything but offtopic, in fact, I think for the first time, the AC post turns out to be insightful. But then I'm just a lowly, moderation-privileges-revoked user. What would I know?
Qrio is just a step up from Aibo, though...I've actually worked with AIBO (development for my senior yr CS project - all the APIs are written in C++!). It was pretty decent. I think Sony and Honda are approaching the issue from different angles though - if you check out Honda's site, you'll see that they've been working on 'walking' bots for while now, where as Sony kind of started out with other stuff..
I'm sure ASIMO is homage to Asimov, but it's also an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative MObility (Here's the link). I wonder how long they took to come up with that one...
As you said,.NET isn't going to take over the Internet (who said it would in the first place?)
Well not take over, but give everything else a run for its money, because at least it's semi-standards compliant with SOAP and XML and stuff. I LOVE the fact that all DB objects are stored in an XML format by default. Now that is truly revolutionary thinking (which probably get me marked flamebait...)

Say what you want about.NET (I disagree with u completely BTW), but the IDE KICKS Hardcore BUTT! I have yet to see something better the VS.NET 2003 for development. Quite a few people have bought into.NET and if I have a choice between C++ and C#, I pick C# thanks....but then I was born and raised on C and Java anyway....
So to answer your question, it's about 0.52 LoC if you count only the books.:)
Sorry, the acronym LoC is owned by India and Pakistan. It refers to the ceasefire line dividing Indian and Pakistani Kashmir (Line of Control). That being said, as an Indian, ALL YOUR KASHMIR ARE BELONG TO US. SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB!

Yep. Combine this with last story on ASIMO, and I can just see an Austrian-accented killing machine coming for people of Irish origins...
Sir, judging by the colour of your comment, you have no honour! Now put on your aluminium foil hat!
