lol. Its like cheating in poker, and when its the other player's turn to cheat, you wave your index finger at him and tell him hiding an ace in the sleeve is a nono.
when industrialism and colonialism one and a half century ago boomed in Europe and the US, large scale of human rights violations as well as environmental issues came up. Now that China, with a vastly larger population, tries to catch up in a similar way, it gets bashed all over the place by the same countries that got their headstart in this fashion
How much longer do the Tibetan people have to suffer until the Chinese learn that there are higher and more positive values in life than genocidal jingoism? please provide an example of how the average Tibetan people, not just the clerical elite who apparently lost power, suffered from the changes brought by the annexation.
Actually, the moment western media claimed a picture taken in Nepal to be violence from Chinese soldiers, the western media lost the legitimation to say that the Chinese people are under influence of propaganda.
Now to tell people that their genuine opinion is the result of propaganda, wont make them stand back and rethink their position. It will make them angry.
What does the death toll of Cultural Revolution etc has to do with whats today? A country cant become better without a violent revolution? is that what you are suggesting?
Then allow me to remind of slavery in the US
You need to differentiate between a subjective and a objective nation here. subjective nations are ones like the US, unified by the constitution. objective ones are nations formed by ancestry and traditions.
China never was even close to being a democratic country. If you impose democracy on the population, most people wouldnt even know what to do with the power to vote, since only few ever cared about politics enough to make an election a reasonable way to determine a government.
Replay the fall of USSR, and chaos will ensue. Not only in China, but for world economy.
So please refrain from throwing "democracy" around without reflecting on how to actually install a democratic system. Iraq was lesson enough.
i dont know how it works, but i believe my cousin who has another internet provider than me cant reach any of the non-chinese websites. he tried downloading opera or msn from the original websites but without success. it was me who hat to forward it to him. i myself am living in beijing right now but have still access to all websites on the net. except lycos, tripod and geocities...
how can you come up with such a claim when you dont even know how to type tiananmen square in chinese? actually if you type in the right characters for tiananmen square (, you can only read this if you got the chinese charset), there are indeed lots of results.
but you are right, if you bundle the search with "1989", but that wouldnt be a surprise, would it?
microsoft is just trying to get market shares... besides, the main search engines for chinese websites are not google nor msn.
lol...
if so, we'd only have 2^1024 posibilities for a movies, which is a large number (~1,789*10^308) but would still be to small a number for the creativity of men isnt it?
well obviously, the downloading client sends out a request for a file named XY. the uploading clients check for that file name, then sends the hash to the downloading client. then the downloading client can compare the results and sort the same copies of a file.
this way the uploading client cant just fake a "match" because it doesnt know which hash would be a "match".
actually you are pretty wrong with your calculation. if you want to calculate the density of energy in a certain distance, its the surface and not the volume of the imaginary sphere. because the energy the photons carry is not spread over a 3rd dimensional space, but over a surface if its absorbed. so the density of energy just decreased quadratically and not cubically. the area of the surface increases by a factor of 40,000 and can still be pretty much dangerous for human IMHO. because if even marine life (water absorbs gamma rays) are endangered, so is mankind!

why dont you protest against the british then?
who are you to be the voice of tibet anyway.
kurdistan please.

But that has been the policy China had ever since 1949. Dont mess with Chinese inner affairs, and China wont talk into your inner affairs.
Too bad it conflicts with the US way of policing the world.
and make sure China isnt holding debts of your country as well...
You really think al Qaida attacks the US for being "successful", palestinians attack Israel because Israel is "successful"?
wtf?
dig deeper and find that most arabian nations see the US as reason why there isnt an pan-arabic nation.

I agree.
A better comparison would be Israel vs Palestine.
Sure its not true that protesting against Olympics is protesting against the whole people and country. But Olympics is all about symbolism, right?
Put yourself into their shoes. Its pretty sad for the Chinese as well.
Guess you never lived in China?
Well i did. It rocks.
thats how "democracy" works. deal with it

just wait till those devices get sophisticated like those used in star wars. remember the scene when quigon and obiwan dive to the gungan city?
did someone mention it already?
the Singapore beer brand is named Tiger as well.

afaik its either high voltage or high current if there is a transformator. the power output remains constant.
