Often, when the Red Cross recieves funds designated for a specific disaster, the money takes so long to process that arrives too late, and is permanently trapped in a bank account.
Or at least that is what a red cross volunteer told me.
Sory. I think you are wrong. According to "The Population Bomb"'s first edition, we all starved to death years ago. There is one thing that population projections don't usually include: wealthy people don't have as many children. as the population increases, technology and wealth increase, and food production increases. But the birth rate falls. Every new edition of "The Population Bomb" has lower population estimates. I don't understand this, but it happens. Birth rate in America has been below replacement level for a long time now. If America closed it's borders to immigrants, americans would slowly die out. Even third world countries are getting wealthier, so the birth rates will soon fall there too.
As for a pandemic, could happen even with low population density. Really, the cause of pandemics is lots of people traveling. Take, for example, the influenza epedimics of World War I. They killed more soldiers than the war its self.
I did read it. It is a project news page, not an explanation of what the project does. I looked at the wiki, the FAQ, and the docs too. Some people find "Java Servlets" to be little more informative than "Tomcat". So, now I know it uses Sun's Java programing language and has something to do with serving...?
Please do the research for us before posting? What is Tomcat? Something used to make Java Servlets?
From java.Sun.com "The Java Servlet specification was created under the Java Community Process to provide full public participation in the definition and development."
BTW, the poor are often incapable of getting jobs, because you cannot find a good way to imploy them with your 13 cents... the government must then take it.
If all politians say what ever it takes to be elected, they would all say, "Watch me kiss my wife. Watch me be just like you but also a great leader. Watch me shoot people trying to shoot you. Watch my oponent do the exact oposite of what I do."
Then they would be identical, and no one would bother to vote.
I think there would be more interest in this topic if someone was paying the politians to take a stand on it, even if it was Microsoft.
Why isn't protection for open source software and limitation of intelectual property law a political issue? I never heard it discussed in the presidential election. What can we do to force politicians to bring these issues to the forefront? Don't we want to put all the FUD behind us?

And people who have spent all their money on a drug addiction won't commit crime to get more drugs, whether they can be purchased legally or not?

what will happen when Grandma's puppy wanders into the middle? What about the migration of local wildlife?
How will texans get to enjoy using their AK-47's to shoot rabits if all the rabits are road kill? That is why texans need AK-47's, right?

You need another Dongly Thing to go with your mac.
They tried. They failed.
Usually. Whenever anyone is lucky enough to figure out what engages high school students, it promptly changes.
Otherwise, suicide wouldn't be nearly as common amoung that group as it is today.
I think the story asks a very important and difficult question.

This guy was about as informative as the web site.
This one agreed with me.
Let the flames begin! (Wait, too late for that. Must be a bad karma day.)
Netcraft says they also have FrontPage(!), SSL, Apache, and Linux(no !). Must be a standard hosting package from Interland.
What? If I had a servlet, what would I do with it?

So what does that mean practically speaking?
Are libertarians the "forefront" of politics?
Some day, a story will be posted twice in the same day by the same editor. And not because he clicked O.K. twice, either!
If that's true, why don't all musicians start their own studios?
I always thought that the big contribution of studios was taking a financial risk in buying recording equipment.
If an organization rates a candidate positively, it will forever be put down by the other candidates as a "puppet" or "biased".
Often correctly.
So, how do we prevent marginalization by this effect, and still push a candidate forward?
BTW, the poor are often incapable of getting jobs, because you cannot find a good way to imploy them with your 13 cents... the government must then take it.
What about abortion and gay marriage? Didn't the candidates have different positions there? That seems to be what counted most in Ohio.
Could Richard Stallman be charismatic, or just obsessed? I've never heard him speak, so it is hard to tell.
You forget, many people are born senile.
Others are just senility-early-achievers.

"Micromanagement" can have an enourmous equilizing or stratifying effect on the overall economy. Open source is a definite equilizer.
"It's too bloody confusing."
Which is half the problem with the laws in the first place.
Now that's cynical.
One of the great (and sometimes (as in spam) awful) things about the internet is it can be used to reach many people cheaply and quickly.
*achem*
A good polititain should be able to reinforce the towers of civilization with one hand, and clean the dust of the windows with the other.
*achem*
But the majority of internet infrastructure is based on open source software. That doesn't have a wide impact?
