Cars have penetrated nearly everywhere. Even cities whejre most people don't have cars gain benefits from cars and a car infrastructure. The same thing cannot be said for the Internet infrastructure.
Yeah, while cars may not have filtered down to the poorest, everybody feels the benefit of increased pollution, and danger of walking across the road. It is difficult to establish a price on how much people who dont have cars have benefited by this, but that wont stop Economic Rationalist scum like yourself from justifiying this madness.
But really, we are talking about different lifestyles... you are really stuck to a power source, which some people, including myself, would not like to, or cant do...
Its even worse that this, since the increase would be pure profit, while the orignal amount is party consumed by cost. So more that half can leave...
Does anyone consider it strante that there business plan relies on the laziness and ignorance of corporate America. If these companies cant make the right decisions about this, then can how long before they completely collapse?
Hey, i wont get to see it for months, quit complaining... Saturday, pshh.

You'd think that a phone that you new someone was bugging would be quite a useful tool, for diseminating useless information. Perhaps he was more worried that they would track him when he used it.

I take great issue with this point:
Why is McDonalds everywhere ? Because they sell a product that a great number of people like.
In fact it is more like
Why is McDonalds everywhere? Because they sell a product that the least number of people dislike.
I thought everybody new this. McDonalds doesnt actually taste good, it is just made to taste the least offensive food, so that the majority of people will eat it. They let have marketing replace taster, trying to convince you that it tastes good, rather than making it taste good.
Knowing this, you can see why a number of people dont like McDonalds invading their countries. If anyone i am with suggests eating at McDonalds i will berate them severely.

So who is going to remove the madmen from the western countries. Countries that spend so much time and money building new weapons, encouraging new technologies while a large number of people on this planet are starving? Oh sure, they have excuses, like defending our liberties and freedom, economic rationalism... but who real believed these lies anymore than those diseminated by the people you are talking about.
Incredibly inventive if it wasa splinter group. I dont go in with all the experts who say that it would take years of planning, and huge amounts of cash. I can see exactly how this could have been carried out on the cheap.
A worst case scenario, destroying an orphanage above the terrorist headquarters is repugnant, but IMHO necessary. The goal is to make the next manager of the orphanage less likely to to give sanctuary. Destroy the television stations spewing hate and propaganda. Burn the banquet hall holding a fund raiser. Make the people who support the terrorists afraid, and the terrorists will have fewer places to sleep, and less to eat.
Congratulations! You have now ventured into the same mindset as the terrorists who did this.
Dont forget those Linux fanatics, with their terrorist leader Linus Torvaldus, who refuse to accept the one true God of Microsoft. Surely they must be high up on the list.
Your grasp on reality is weak at best. There are a number of things that the US has done that improve the world. But you have a very narrow view of your country, if you can not see the tremendous damage it has also done. From the incredible amount of pollution your country puts into the atmosphere, to new genetically modified crops doing who know what, to the huge pile of nuclear weapons, numerour new ways you have designed of killing us, i could go on for a while...
The world would love to be able to reject these wonderful things you have bestoyed upon us, if you would kindly take out all the crap you have forced upon us.
To add to your 100,000/year quote - don't forget all the people we killed with our Polio vaccine. OH, I shreak in horror of all the people we kill with our food aid.
You have got to be kidding. Does that make you feel any better about things! The odd aid bundle, which almost every wealthy country in the world also gives to! Even if yours was the only country, it wouldnt make up for this killing. I suppose if Osama bin Laden sent over a few McDonalds vouchers that would square everything?
Yes, we do. I don't know about you, but on the mailing lists I'm on, the topic is coming up. people asking how tech skills can be used by the military. Asking about joining the reserves.
Yes, but are you willing to join the front line, be the troops who are going in to Afghanistan, getting killed. Are you willing to put yourself on the line for your country, like those who took over the planes did?
you are like the little kid in the playground saying "sure i punched you, but you punched me harder!". The US actions are unforgiveable, selling arms to such countries. Maybe you forgive them, but i suppose it wasnt your fellow countrymen that died. This is the action of a country, a government, not a small band of terrorists. You cant possibly compare the two.
Perhaps it is bad taste to speak like this, so soon after such a horrible tragedy, when they are a lot of feelings in the air. But don't be deluded to thinking this is all oneside. What did the East Timorese, the Palestinians, the Nicarguans do to the US to incur your wrath?

If Osama did move in, then the US and its allies would have to attack.... the US, since it would be a country harboring fugitives...
something to think about

SURPRISE!!!
But really, we are talking about different lifestyles... you are really stuck to a power source, which some people, including myself, would not like to, or cant do...
another technology that will make that a non issue is that device which draws power from your own body heat.
While increasing the batterytime of your device, it will decrease your lifetime by about 10-20 years... ah, who wants those last few years anyway.
Its called a plastic zip-lock bag... perfectly water proof, and if you blow in it like a balloon, it can survive big drops.
yeah, its simply rounded up to the MSDN... Most Significant Devils Number ($66,600 or $666,000 etc)
Its even worse that this, since the increase would be pure profit, while the orignal amount is party consumed by cost. So more that half can leave...

This time they will have no foreign support at all, no modern equipment, nothing.
Dont be so sure, a lot of countries would like to see the U.S. fail, and would not be too happy if they had an easy victory.

was the Oklahama bombing an attack against your country as well? Should you go and bomb the country responsible for that?
heh... im not saying you shouldnt, just bomb the USA first heh?
yeah, who does this guy think he is having an opinion, and the arrogance of him to actually express it... sheesh, what is this world coming to.
Personally i blame MS Flight Simulator. The amount of times i've crashed into buildings...
sorry to make light of the issue
come on buddy, reel in the fantasy. We all know you can have one or the other.
Dont forget those Linux fanatics, with their terrorist leader Linus Torvaldus, who refuse to accept the one true God of Microsoft. Surely they must be high up on the list.
I heard that CNN had a poll, and approx 80% of CNN executives voted for a war against Afghanastan. (The other guy was on holiday)
