Yes. It means I suffered a net loss. If prices went down without me losing my job or taking a pay cut then that would be great but that's not the case is it now?
Well the corporations which are seeking cheaper labor are not going to sit tidly by while the salaries in India or China move up. They will pick up and move to vietnam, cambodia, or africa.
This will set up a boom/bust economic cycle all over the world. It's not going to be pretty for the people of india when all of a sudden they are looking at massive unemployment because they wanted more money then the vietnamese.
In the end one nation (my guess is india or china) will acutally enslave an unpopular portion of their population and sell their labors to corporations for dirt cheap. Since nobody can compete with prison or slave labor everybody else will either offer up slaves or prisoners or suffer too.
The US already offers up prison labor to corporations for cheap but even the US prisoners are getting paid more then 14 year old vietnamese girls.
"Israel is an democratic state with aborginal population that has allied itself with external enemies. "
Haven't we established that Israel is a jewish state? There is no such thing as a jewish democracy or a muslim democracy or a catholic democracy. Democracy means everybody has equal rights.
So when are you going to start the ethnic cleansing progrom in the west bank then? There are three and half million palestenians you need to purge one way or another.
"Israel is an democratic state with aborginal population that has allied itself with external enemies. "
Except that palestenians are not a part of israel. It's not "their state". They don't have any rights there, they are not even subject to the universal declaration of human rights, it's legal to torture them. So in the case of the plaestenians they are not taking up arms against their state because they have no rights in that state.
If Israel was to give them full citizenship and rights I bet they wouldn't take up arms. If they did then you could legitemately charge them with reason. Until then they are people living under your occupation struggling to gain freedom.
Interesting. IN the US I don't have to belong to a particular religion in order to enjoy full rights.
I served in the US military before I was a citizen (I became a citizen during my service though) and the US military is full of all kinds of races and religions even muslims.
How can israel be considered a democracy if you have to belong to a religion in order to get full rights? That seems very weird to me.
As the eminent domain. The US can't "confiscate" my land. There is a legal process involved with plenty of due process before they can condemn my land. Even if they do I can appeal their decision to the courts.
Having said that yes the US does in the end have the right to condemn the land of ITS CITIZENS in order to perpetuate the greater good. But it can only do this within it's internationally recognized borders. The US can't take over land in Mexico and Canada.
FOr that matter Americans are not allowed to go take over some plot of land in Mexico or Canada and set up an outpost or settlement either. Weird huh? Imagine that, I don't have the right to go to Canada, build a house in some empty forrest, invite 500 of my friends so we can form a little town, and then shoot any canadian who objects. Why? Mainly because I live in a civilized nation which will not allow such behavior.
His wife wasn't there. If I went hunting with another couple and a woman my wife would throw a fit.
Cheney shot a man and the man apologized. That shows what kind of a person cheney is more then anything else. It would not surprise me one bit if he shot him just to show him that he could get away with it.
The Native americans in the US can serve in the military, they can also vote and otherwise enjoy the full benefits of citizenship. The US is not unique in this regard, all civilized countries offer citizenship to the indegenous populations whether they be the aboriginals in australia, maori in new zeland, ainu in Japan or what have you.
It seems like Israel is the odd man out there. A democracy which will not give full rights of citizenship to people it has conquered and taken land from.
Line item vote would only work if the president was not a politician and didn't belong a major party.
In real life the president would target particular opposition politicians by vetoing any bills that would benefit their district. The president would also veto any bill that would benefit the competitors for haliburton or exxon or whatever the president has a bunch of money invested in.
I am curious. I have never been there but your post seems to indicate that isralies trust each other more then "usual". Are the crime rates in Israel very low? By that I mean crimes committed against one israeli from another? Does Zionism prevent robberies, assaults, murders, rapes etc.
"You can't deny Bush's efforts in that direction. His speeches and directives were protecting Muslims and Arabs in this country since Sep 12, 2001."
Bush speaks with forked tongue. On the one hand he throws out platitutes, on the other he kills arabs, tortrures them, rounds them up, hassles them, and makes them disappear. And yes that list includes perfectly innocent arabs whose sole crime was to be an arab in the US after 9/11.
Part of our security policy is to be nice to our immediate neighbors. Notice that we are not occupying the mexicans, denying them the right to move about freely in their own country, not taking away their land, not taking over their water supplies, and not launching missiles and tanks into their country every couple of weeks. Same with canada.
In fact it's the other way around. We have set up free trade deals, we have also bailed out mexico when they needed money.
The mexicans and the canadians don't feel a need to attack us because we are fucking them, we are decent neighbors even if we do disagree on some issues.
I might suggest Israel take a similar tack. Hamas recently stated that they would recognize israels right to exist if Israel would end the occupation of their country. Seems like it might be worth pursuing.
Yes, it's now become obvious just how much pro arab this administration and congress are. It's clear by now that they hold israel in much contempt and distain.
Oh, wait a minute, that's not right at all. Err Ummm... Actually they are extemely pro israel and anti arab.
So maybe this snort thing has nothing to do with any of that at all. It may have to do with the fact that checkpoint has not bribed enough congress critters yet. I suggest they ask for a 45 delay which will give them time to spread the dough around.
While there is no reason to doubt that US is being paranoid there have been many instances of Israel spying on the US.
I don't know if the state of Israel would use a company based in Israel for syping but their past behavior would suggest that they have no moral or ethicals prohibitions against it.
"Um DRM? Like iTunes? Everyone along their line, like they are trying to do with AAC?"
Granted AAC is DRM. I would have prefered if Apple didn't use any DRM at all. Having said that their conception of DRM is a lot more consumer friendly then the DRM flavor pitched by MS. MS is pushing for a subscription model where you can't even access your music once your subscription elapses.
"Didn't Apple choose Intel over AMD partially because of some of the trusted computing initiatives the former was involved in?"
No. I never heard that. Can you provide a link to an apple press release or a quote from an Apple exec saying this?
"Are you sure they aren't just trying to distinguish themselves until they gain marketshare?"
Apple has already distinguished themselves no? Is anybody likely to confuse Apple with MS? Sure visa will look a lot like MacOSX but that's only because MS is so intent on copying everything Apple does.
Hey don't be too harsh on them. The pentagon knows that sooner or later Osama is going to get tired of living in the mountains of pakistan and will move to australia to live on the beach. That's when we will get him. Osama will venture down to some beach and talk about overthrowing jeb bush and that's when we will nail him. He will never know that the sharks circling are actually robotic sharks from the CIA.
An IDE for AJAX? Heavens no. Take the Ruby on rails approach. Try like hell to avoid javascript. ROR has it all nicely abstracted so you don't have to deal with javascript (mostly)
I am not saying YOU are racist, I am saying the question is racist. Why are asking him about being discriminated against? Could it be because he is not white? If he was an american geek you would not ask him the same question.
Do you really think this guy could be charged with fraud? I don't know too much about NZ laws but this hardly seems like fraud. I must say it would be cool if some country classified FUD as fraud.
Having said that, the last I checked NZ had very low open source adoption and were paying some of the highest rates in the world for broadband and cellular service. It would be ironic if a country which is so far behind in telecomunications infrastructure lead in the way of OSS legal issues.

By the same token we are not occupying them, we are not killing them, we are not torturing them.

How about non jewish israelis? Also is anybody keeping track of violence where both the attacker and the victim are not jewish?
I am curious. I have never been there but your post seems to indicate that isralies trust each other more then "usual". Are the crime rates in Israel very low? By that I mean crimes committed against one israeli from another? Does Zionism prevent robberies, assaults, murders, rapes etc.
That might be an interesting statistic.

Just change the extension. I routinely change the extension of zip files to 7z and tell my friends to use either rename the extension or use 7zip.

Because the question was racist, political, not appropriate for the topic and obvious.
I have answered it for you because i am sure he won't. The answer is yes.
