If you count prisons as 'camps' then more people (per capita) are locked up in the US than in any other country in the world (including China, North Korea or any other totalitarian state you care to name).
True, true. But this does not contradict what I said.
(BTW, I should point out that I'm just playing advocatus diaboli here, as I left the States over a decade ago and do not ever plan to return there to live.)
The inevitable result of monogamy is corruption. Therefore, we should embrace Brave New World sexual practices and everyone should sleep with everyone so no one will be jealous.
This is what I keep telling my fiancée, but she still seems sceptical.

You claim to have been around for the glory days of Dell, yet you managed to miss Apple nearly tanking and being bailed out by Microsoft to the tune of $150 million at almost exactly the same time?

You're telling me? I almost went to work for them in 2002... Fortunately they DotBombed (got eaten up by ZDNet and what was to be my position 'put on hold pending restructuring' 2 days before I was supposed to start), and my career path took a more circuitous route.
so it is believed that if the curtain starts coming down they might try to dispose of the problem by making the camps disappear(by killing everyone, maybe even the staff) rather than face the music.
That worked out real well for the surviving Nazis, I hear.
In response to UN Security Council Resolution 2087 which was approved on Wednesday [2013-01-23, China time], North Korea vowed that it will carry out a "high-level" nuclear test. This may not be mere angry words, because South Korea says preparation for North Korea's new nuclear test is already in progress.
Wednesday's UN resolution condemned North Korea's rocket launch in December and expanded existing sanctions. After putting a lot of effort into amendments for the draft resolution, China also voted for it.
It seems that North Korea does not appreciate China's efforts. It criticized China without explicitly naming it in its statement yesterday [2013-01-24]: "Those big countries, which are obliged to take the lead in building a fair world order, are abandoning without hesitation even elementary principles, under the influence of the US' arbitrary and high-handed practices, and failing to come to their senses."
China has a dilemma: We are further away from the goal of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and there's no possible way for us to search for a diplomatic balance between North Korea and South Korea, Japan and the US.
China should be more relaxed and reduce our expectations on the effect of our strategies toward the peninsula. We should have a pragmatic attitude to deal with the problems and pursue the optimal ratio between our investment of resources and strategic gains.
China can neither take one side of the peninsula conflict like the US and Japan nor dream of staying aloof. We should readily accept that China is involved and may offend one side or both sides.
China's role and position are clear when discussing North Korea issue in the UN Security Council. If North Korea engages in further nuclear tests, China will not hesitate to reduce its assistance to North Korea....
China hopes for a stable peninsula, but it's not the end of the world if there's trouble there. This should be the baseline of China's position.
Translation: "We're starting to figure out that there's precious little advantage to backing up NK much longer, and Kim3 is kidding himself if he thinks otherwise."

Want to block Chinese and Korean language emails even if they aren't relayed through mail servers in those countries?
This guy lives in SAN FRANCISCO of all places and says this?

Oh, right. Nevermind...
Agreed... In general sticking to whatever OS the laptop came with will give you the least amount of trouble.
...and will prompt many a Slashdotter to mutter, 'Turn in your geek card, buddy,' between sips of the mornng cuppa.
You claim to have been around for the glory days of Dell, yet you managed to miss Apple nearly tanking and being bailed out by Microsoft to the tune of $150 million at almost exactly the same time?
I call bullshit.
Here's a sample created by mysqldump:
CREATE TABLE "test" (
"kkeeyy" int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
"a" varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
"b" varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ("kkeeyy")
);
Note that no storage engine is specified.
Here's how you see the default storage engine:
mysql> SELECT @@default_storage_engine\G
* 1. row *
@@default_storage_engine: InnoDB
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
And here's how you see which storage engine is actually being used by a given table:
mysql> CREATE TABLE test (
-> kkeeyy int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
-> a varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
-> b varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.44 sec)
mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE test\G
* 1. row *
Table: test
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `test` (
`kkeeyy` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`a` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
`b` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`kkeeyy`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_SCHEMA, ENGINE
> FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
> WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'test'\G
* 1. row *
TABLE_NAME: test
TABLE_SCHEMA: test
ENGINE: InnoDB
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Note that if you run ALTER TABLE test ENGINE=MYISAM on this table, the output from these statements will reflect the change.
If one does dump to XML, what's the best way to load that into a new slave or do a restore from it?
Using 5.5.28 here...
LOAD XML INFILE might be what you're looking for.
Touché, good sir. And nicely done.
WTF? That was 2011. And it hit Newfoundland, not Norway.
So... you guys remember every single punch line from every film you've ever seen? Colour me impressed.
(Not.)
Being a multinational means you get to say, "We're based in [place that's to our advantage in this instance]."
And it can be a different place next time you say it.
Get back to us when you're old enough to drive.
When I consider seriously the possibility that the Wall Street Journal feels the need to spam Slashdot in order to increase readership, I get the feeling I've lived too long.
Which is obvious nonsense. :)
Chinese law doesn't apply to ruling members of the party.
It does if enough other Party members say that it does.
In other words, it's not much different from how such things work out in the US.
And if I had a pony, I would not let you ride it. So there.
Tread carefully there. You almost got modded off-topic before I caught the reference. :)
Bosh! Eating lax is the tried-and-true method here in Scandinavia.
I've been eating it on average 3 times a week since I moved here in '07, haven't seen a single hurricane around here yet.
(Seems to work best under the broiler, with some fresh garlic and rosemary.)
You're telling me? I almost went to work for them in 2002... Fortunately they DotBombed (got eaten up by ZDNet and what was to be my position 'put on hold pending restructuring' 2 days before I was supposed to start), and my career path took a more circuitous route.
Still... It was a very near thing. *shudder*
When you've pigeons and holes, it seems a natural enough fit.
Yeah, I guess you could say that the problems manifest when we become tribes of one.
(And thank you for yet another concise and insightful post.)
-2, Stupid (-1 redundant + -1 overrated)
Already done, and even the first one to come up with the idea realised how fucking silly it was.
The US may not be perfect, but you get to eat, people are allowed to speak and move more or less freely, and most of them aren't locked up in camps.
And I can attest personally, the US will actually let you leave if you want.
so it is believed that if the curtain starts coming down they might try to dispose of the problem by making the camps disappear(by killing everyone, maybe even the staff) rather than face the music.
That worked out real well for the surviving Nazis, I hear.
in any case, some of you may have noticed that China is no longer giving carte-blanche to the DPRK:

The juxtaposition of your complaint and your tagline is something I find incredibly humorous. Lighten up, pal.
