And, at the very least, we can stop wasting taxpayers'money on my-dick-is-bigger-than-yours space programs while the research is going on. Come on folks, we can't even organise ourselves on Earth to prevent avoidable damage from hurricanes and earthquakes, we can't agree on whether we are causing climate change by producing greenhouse gases, we are faced with an influenza pandemic that no-one really knows how to deal with, and we still have R&D money to spend on sending people to the moon and Mars?
News flash: There's _always_ going to be _scary_ things going on around the globe with unknowns attached. This sells magazines, newspapers, and TV ad time. It's more then just "sending people to the moon and Mars." It's about setting a goal that is "cool" to gain the interest of folks so R&D can potentially create new technology. We will have to leave this rock some day believe it or not. _That_ is the ultimate goal. Your worried about a flu bug that will kill a few million folks, when that could further the human race by having less of us around. Cold, you bet. Could it be me. Yep, I don't argue that one. But if the human race is to be around for the true long run, then space exploration is a need. The Sun will burn us up, then burn out someday.
Good example of irony. So you are assuming that every country (other then US, Canada, Europe) is living in poverty/crime? And to be honest, minimizing the parents post is attaching yourself to the statement with a generalization that is unfair and inaccurate. You have no idea what that person has been through to make such alligations that that person has indeed had a rough life. All suffering is equal. (Frankl) Suffering is different for each person but no suffering is greater then the other. It may appear that way from the outside looking in, but you are attaching your past experience to the suffering which alters your perception.
Call me OT if you want, but everytime PHP is discussed, I have to say
that it a wonderful language. That's it. Anyone who uses the gui web
development tools are missing out on the beauty (and horror) that can
be created in PHP.
It should be considered a major language milestone for development IMHO.
Dude, they're Americans. This is the country that gave us creationists. They think democracy is intrinsically linked to capitalism. Half the population thinks Saddam was responsible for 9/11. I wouldn't waste my time worrying about what they think.
And your numbers to support this are where??? I really hope you don't say CNN/Foxnews/CNBC and the like. As for what sterotypes are in place around
the globe for how the US public acts, here a surprise. They do what we do, listen to the TV. All of those sitcoms that are on tv is what some of them think the US really is. At least this was my impresion while I lived in Turkey/Bosnia/Kenya for some time. It was only after dealing with an American that they found out that not all US citizens are arrogent, rich, and power hungry people (typical soap opera show). The same holds true the other way around. I've found that most folks around the globe are pretty much the same. I can't speak for the rest of the globe though.
How much use this will really get. Connecting two wireless networks may be 'cool,' but how many offices maintain two separate wireless networks? I am sure there are some, as some of you will surly point out. If you want an internal wireless network, that should already exist since you wireless network should be behind your router/firewall anyways.
Ahhh, but they will only break it for their own users and servers in their own country. The issue here is that this is a pissing contest and we have the keys. Sorry but it is true.
It will be interesting to watch some of these countries fall from the 'net though.
Cute Graph. And I don't disagree that fiscal responsiblity is important. However, the Govt. should never, never, never be in the black. If it is I want my money back. Period. And I am not a finance smarty by any means, but I am sure that "negative" number is important to drive economy. I'm sure there are folks here who can clearify the importance of that number though.

I got a BigDisk - I dont know about you guys. I love to upload DNA strands using it.
Uhhhh, why are you interested in what I have?
No, they include cash and coke within the jacket.
One persons "Smut" is another persons "Art." Who are you to decide which is which?

Did they forget to set the ship alarm? I told them ship jackers would get it.
Sure. You ever see Armageddon?
If aliens would like to see webpage of WHOLE earth's goverment, where would they go?
www.$$$$$.com?
Hey, we gave them powered flight. That's enough.
Not something for the wrist. But it looks cool. Perhaps he watched The Dark Crystal one too many times though....

Naaa, your just stuck in a while loop.
Or are you just blindly regurgitating what you heard and wanted to believe?
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the internet/educational system/mass media.
I'm sure it's going to be one heck of a kegger at the Balmer house.
I just hope they can make drive belts out of the stuff so I never have to pay the auto mechanic again for that rubber crap thats on there now.

Isn't /. great for that warm-all-over feeling in the morning. I think many folks were using it, they just didn't realize it.
ELM is still better.
Ajax is not a technology in itself, but a term that refers to the use of a group of technologies together. (wikipedia.org)
It's actually called: Security Housing Initiative Technology (tm)
True. But has it made it to Foxnews/CNN front pages yet?
Sad to say that the pr0n industry has ruined this movie title forever.
