In fact, when facing a country such as the US or EU which has basic respect for the rules of war (eg, the Geneva Convention), a "fair" war pretty much maximizes the number of people killed.
Gitmo is a true example of how the Geneva Convention is being completely ignored.
Not a problem for me, or (I expect) for its target audience. Still, I think this is the first time Google has built something using Flash instead of AJAX, so it's notable just for that.
If he thinks the press is hard on the Chinese because the U.S. pays them, what explains the slams against the U.S.? If we could buy bad publicity for China, why don't we buy good publicity for the United States?
I don't mind conspiracy theories, but people should at least try to make them logical.
There isn't enough money in the world to accomplish that, if the American government is constantly taking two steps back with the policies that it makes.
Are the US press making up the stories about Tibetan monks and nuns who are starved and beaten in jail cells for nothing other than being a Tibetan monk or nun, only to be released days before dying of their wounds so that the Chinese government doesn't have to take responsibility?
The same analogies could be made about the Guantanamo Bay prison and Arabians who looked suspicious.
Then you are a self absorbed twit who doesn't care if others are murdered in order to maintain the status quo, as long as YOU are just fine. Narcissism at its finest, I see.
By that statement I would assume that you are mounting some sort of protest against those people held in GitMo without being told of their crime? The same people who are presumed guilty without a trial, or even access to a lawyer.
Perhaps people should look in their own backyard before pointing at others.
If the RIM debacle has taught them anything, their efforts would be better spent inventing a "Settle it Now" button.
Or, we could have the "Pay me now and I'll forget about finishing the rest of this auction because I've already sold it to you for an amount I'm willing to part with said item on sale" button.
A biological process can be patented. A gene can be patented, even if it occurs naturally. A corporation can look at your DNA, say "Hey, that's a neat gene, it might help cure cancer one day", and patent it. That way, if anybody ever discovers some medical cure based on that gene, or the protein it encodes, they can wait 5-6 years, then sue them for 125% of their profits for patent infringement.
The good news is that biological patents are granted special exceptions. A living being cannot be charged for infrigement of a patent that it violates naturally. So you can still breath if they patent breathing, and you can still grow new cells if they patent your DNA. Yay!
Of course, if they are smart, they could potentially wait till you die and hope you have no offspring before releasing the cure. Unless you have someone monitoring your DNA after you die, you stand no chance of getting a penny. Damn corporations.

I, for one, have never given a stream of genetic material to anyone. Except "Rosie"...
You mean "Rosie Righthand"? That slut!

Well, given that Drago has a Master's degree... I don't see this as far fetched.
Van Damme that was a totally way off GP comment!
Little known fact. Lennox "Linux" Lewis actually fights for Microsoft.
Here's the theory according to George Costanza
Relationship George versus Independent George. Who will win?
Relationship George is George when he is with Susan.
Independent George is George when he is with his friends: liar George, for example.
If the two meet...Relationship George will destroy Independent George.
Booooooooooo!!!!!!!! Get off the stage!
These flash drives still have very low rotational speeds. I'd wait a few years until they get them spinning a little faster
Very low? The rotational speed is 0 rpms!
So, even if they got it to spin by a fraction, you will have INFINITE speed! I'm guessing they'll have it by next year.
Can we influence N. Korea/China better from Berlin or from Baghdad?
The ironic thing is that China controls the US from Wall St. by buying up US debt by way of bonds.
The only perfect match a Slashdotter would get from Google Fiance would be to here.

Doesn't Google Video use flash?
What ads?
You can get Canadian stock. Enter "ry.to" in the search and you'll get RBC on the TSX.
The interface is pretty slick, but like you said, it could use a whole lot more features that are offered elsewhere.
Hmm... what happens if you inhale a classified document?
Well, if you can absorb the information contained therein, I'm going to go back to school and shred all the textbooks for every known course possible.

One where the mortgage has a stamp on it that reads, "Paid in Full".
(28 years and 3 months from now, I'm gonna tell the bank to KMA!)
KMA? "Kick My Ass"... ah... I see. As if they're not already doing a good job at that now.
This is all great if you carry a purse. Otherwise I think your points are worthless.
It's NOT a PURSE! It's a MANBAG!
Get over it!
What a shame that the kindergarten mentality of this country makes offering a resource for sale, greed.
If you're only referring to internet as a resource, what are your thoughts on the sale of *gasp*... WATER!? Or land?
Then they'll all need to get replaced due to water damage from all the kids crying on them during Calc 2.
Or from saliva damage from the stream that always seems to leak from the corner of your mouth while you snooze.
I'm hoping it gives cabin crew the right to pepper spray and forcibly restrain them, but then I'm just being hopeful.
That's a great idea! Then we'll just wait till the pepper spray gets re-circulated in the ventilation system so we can all share in the fun!
It's "eh". As in, "I need a little more gravy on my cheese curds and fries, eh!"
