Where is the Saudi and other muslim duty to take in their islamic brethren?
Not only do I remember, but I was a Beta tester
on
Windows 95 Turns 20

I beta tested that thing and reported bugs to Microsoft. It was before my UNIX & Linux days... It's one of the experiences that led me down the road of software QA and IT as a career. (software QA, UNIX OS Operations and Administration for awhile) I guess I can thank Bill Gates and Co for that, even though I have had many harsh things to say about them over the years.
Yeah but they can create an artificial scarcity as with diamonds the way DeBeers did, right? I guess it all depends on how many industrial concerns are actually mining the stuff out there. If it's one, they have a monopoly. Think of Mel Brooks' fictional "History of the World, Part 2", instead of Jews in Space, think DeBeers in Space...
I have two of my four mobile machines set to receive the upgrade, but who knows when they'll actually send the upgrade bits? I want to see if it runs on the tiny emachines e250 netbook... Windows 7 Starter was awful. If it's still slow as that I'll install some version of Linux.
I'm curious how it'll upgrade my HP HDX18 1200T notebook as well.
My other machines run Linux and OSX...
Hopefully Windows 10 stunt be as buggy as some say. I'm not holding my breath.
This reminded me of the old UFO sereies where the Moonbase chicks wore purple wigs, which was explained as some sort of radiation protection. Oddly enough the men didn't wear them!
From what I gathered from recent outside reading which had references to the army, all this really is is gum which uses the sugar alcohol xylitol as the main sweetening agent as opposed to normal sugar. Sugar is used by bacteria to promote tooth decay whereas Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol which the bacteria can't use effectively. You can get Xylitol only gum at most health food stores, and some commercial manufacturers make it but usually, for some God forsaken reason, have to combine it with some chemical artifial sweetener, like Aspartame or something else.:(
I don't know if the military version has some other bacteria fighting agent, but nothing like that was mentioned in my reading of Xylitol gum whcih mentioned the US military.
They can save money by just buying the troops "Spry" brand Xylitol sweetened chewing gum.
loved working for a young company

then the young company with the startup type "we wear many hats" grew and grew and then came the beaurocracy and the eventual aquisition and then the evil overlords. I saw many friends get laid off and now the old owners leave. I see more and more positions being relocated to "low cost geographies". I am alone in my prison cell (cube), hoping to find another startup to flee to...... after I cash out my stock options. (remember those?)
I work less now but hate it and the insecurity of waiting for my layoff time to come. I worked my butt off in those early days but loved every minute of it because what I did mattered. Now I'm just a number, and an expendable one at that.
Startups and small innovative companies rule. Large beaurocratic corporate sweatshops suck.
Shows where their priorities are. Right up there with old Europe. The muslims are going to own Canada someday but Europe will be finished much sooner.
Sad. I'll take my chances with the Mexicanos. At least they aren't muslim and the women are allowed to dress sexy. Been noticing some of the cleaning staff at my building. they come all bitched up to clean the office. Some hotties there. Should take a lesson from George Costanza.
he takes things way out of context and shows onlyone side.
Give me a camera and his budget and I can go over and take only pictures of the lighter side of things and make you think that Iraq is like Disneyland. Anyone who falls for Moore's propaganda is a fool.
Oh why couldn't he get hit with an RPG over there? It's not like he isn't a big enough target, that fat slob.
I don't love Bush, but Moore is an unfair partisan propagandist, is anti American, is a self loathing American, and a seditious traitor. Tokyo Rose reincarnated in a fat white man's body.
He was elected. Several Florida newspapers held a series of private ballot recounts after he was in office, and they all came out with GWB as the winner. He won the electoral college fair and square. Actually, we will never know how many who intended to vote for him didn't bother b/c they were told on the (liberal) news that the state had been called for Gore and I think the weather was bad so they never ventured out to vote thinking it was already lost. (Florida panhandle voters)
I am so sick of this fallacy that he didn't win the election keep getting repeated as nauseum as if saying it that many times will make it the truith? Are you Michael Moore or something?
and likewise don't ignore the billions in foreign aid that the US ponies up OR the billions in debt that we end up forgiving.
Also, while I'm not defending corporate rape of third world countries, let's not forget that Europe and Asia have their own multinationals who are all to glad to keep up the tradition and turn their own tidy profit. (Iraq oil deals anyone? Oh, France, Russia, Germany were there already...)
after the election and they ALL showed that Bush indeed won. Had he not it would have been BIG news. Also, let's not forget all of the Republican votes that were lost in the Florida pan handle when the liberal media called the state early for Bush and a lot of those people never voted b/c they figured it wasn't worth it since Gore was pronounced the winner. How conveniently we forget that.
Stop propogating this urban legend that Bush didn't win the election because he did. If you don't like it that's fine but he won and you and the other sour grapes can't rewrite history.
Score another successful extraterrestrial landing for America!
I'm not going to bash Beagle2. It was a gallant effort. I feel bad for the Euros. Always bashing us and calling us stupid but who's space probe gets there and can transmit back? The American one. Let's hope the other one makes it in one part and gives us a two fer to cheer about.
Hey, maybe they can send one of these guys to see what happened to the Beagle2? Too far away I suppose...
But I am NOT gloating here. I really feel bad when any worthwhile science project fails. I was hoping to wake up on CHRISTmas and see news of the Beagle2 sending messages back but it was not to be.
Good luck to the Chinese on their space plans as well. Competition from real Red Commies is the only thing that will get the US Space Program where it should be as far as funding goes...
Nice way to throw in an American bashing comment. I love it when you America Haters use any opportunity to bash an entire nation. RIAA != America. Many here in America hate the RIAA. No need to bash all of us. It only shows that you damn an entire nation for the actions of some. Remember that while approx half of the US voted for the President you probably hate, another half voted for the other socialist guy that you would have liked to see, you know, the one who would have turned tail and ran away from Bin Laden and the one who would have allowed the silliness in Iraq to continue ad nauseum in spite of his dissing the UN (for what, 12 YEARS?!?) you all love to pay lip service to [UN]- the same socialist (Democrat) who would at this moment NOT be enjoying Libyan and N. Korean cooperation and the [at least the] prospect of more open relations with Iran...
Which is why you can damn me b/c I'll be voting for Bush again.
We rebuilt Germany and Japan. Any conqueror b4 or since do that? We gave them democracy and after a time left them free. Yeah, America the Imperialist.
You Euros need to go back and reread your history books, assuming they aren't revisionist, which wouldn't surprise me.

...but Europe and many others not so far behind, percentage wise.

it always happens on /. For some reason I always get voted down no matter what I say or how I say it. I have no idea.

Palo Alto? New Jersey? Bangalore?
Which is what one would infer from reading /. comments regularly. USA=BAD, China=GOOD.
Let's just ignore this little news item. It's ok China, it's ok.
That's what you Democrats keep preaching.....
much ado about NOTHING.
better the Chinese than the Muslims, IMO.
I've never noticed te Chinese around here as being overly racist. Really? I live near NYC so we are VERY culturally diverse in these parts.
Islamic law for the uninformed.
