muhahhahahhahaha Prostitution in China is much more rampant than it is in the west. Promiscuous sex, somewhat lower, but trust me it does exist, as one of my friends told me, Every one of her friends has had an abortion.
Well it's kind of funny. Some people (I teach university students here in China) are extremely against Japan. But enough of them are obsessed about it (as bad as any 25 year old living in there parents basement is in NA) They love the music, the comics, the anime, everything about Japan, there dream is to go there etc. personally I'd say it's 20% are strongly against, 20% are in love with it, and the rest really don't care to much.
re #2: China is not really communist in their economic system. Laws exist in this company in case you piss someone important off, or if the government needs a bit of cash. I've never seen so much commerce before I came to china. re: #3 your right, alot of people can't afford a computer system, but there is a population of 1.3 billion here. Say if 500 million of them have the ability to access the net (ie internet cafe's) then the numbers are easy to reach.
as a slight aside, People need to realize comparitive costs. I make about 400-500USD a month here in China. very litle by most standards. About twice as much as alot fo other people. but my supper tonight cost me about a dollar, my lunch about 30 cents, and I could eat cheaper than that if I wanted to. I could rent an apartment here for 50-100USD as well. now, most people cannot afford cars here (there expensive to everyone, high impor taxes on emm and such) and only some can afford computers. (I work at a university, and a suprising number of students have computers) but theres internet cafe's everywhere here. Within a 5 minute walk of me is probably close to 400-600 terminals, easily.
I live here, and honestly, theres net cafe's everywhere. most of the students here don't own computers, but the net cafe's are rediculusly cheap (if you go to the ones for locals, and not use foreigners;) in fact last time I was in one of the computer cities near me there was a CS tourney going on with a top prize fo 10k RMB ( a fair amount for the people playing usually about 1200-1300 USD) They seem to mainly play CS, WC3, and some MMPORGS here, very little Q3 or UT
funny you've been able to buy a PS2 in china for quite some time in the street markets. (weither it's officially liscenced by sony or not in another question) also funnily enough, this is around the price I see them for in the markets.. (of course, I am a forienger so the pricesmay be jacked up a little.. long live the land of 5-10 dollar gba games.(and 2 dollar pc games) (now if only I could find them in english)
I use http://devel.thcnet.net/phpbookmarks/ it's php based, with mysql, you can easily make it secure if you wish. it works well, it's themeable to:) never had any problems with it... just find yourself some webspace, and stick it up. mines currently holding around 200 links or so, so those who are syaing just rember them, well, I don't have that good of memory, and google can't always find the exact link you need.
Thank you, that was a wonderful post. kinda struck me, partly because I just left my 40k job to go to school and went from spending 1500-2k a month to spening about 450-500 (including tuition:)
a lever on each side
on
Ultimate Sleds?
·
· Score: 2, Informative
When I was a kid we had a sled with levers on each side, so it you pulled on one, it would dig into the the snow and make you turn. pulling both made you slow down.. kinda..... but ultimetly the best would be a gt....
I'd suggest looking at joining your local YMCA (or YWCA). theregenerally quite affordable, and have quite a few programs that they run. For exercise, I'd suggest swimming first of all, it's a great low impact high exertion activity, injuries are quite rare (Except the drowning part;) you can combine this if you like with some cardiovascular excersices, using rowing machines, bicycles and elyptical (sp?) machines. (you can also bike row or run on your own as well, but if the weathers abismal, do it inside:) cardiovascular stuff will help the most with weight loss and better health, while swimming will do the most to tone you. the key of course is sticking with it.
We use it where I work at an isp for our customer contasct, all calls and email contact with client gets recorded in it.
worked ok for a while, but with 70-80 exmployees in it with around 300,000-400,000 contacts it's starts crapping out on you, even if you upgrade the hardware.
As well, there tech support is only so so.
For some of our issues, they told us to upgrade to newest version, so we asked them if the issue was fixed in it.
nope they said.
otherwise thogugh, it is not bad contact management software.
just make sure your not to big:)
sybex makes a virtual lab product that I belive simulates several routeras and a coupla switches.
h heres it on amazon
it's actually just a toned down version of some other virtual router software made by router sim there a hell of a lot cheaper than buying actual hardware.
I've been trying another program kinda like this called win4lin. (I'm not sure on all the tech specs)
you can install windows within your linux system, and run most apps, (again no directx)
seems to work pretty dam good, and it's cheap.

Well I'd club a baby seal, you know i wouldn't ingest it. I'd tell my vegan girlfriend, you know i wouldn't suggest it. Well all my shoes are leather, and I don't care wheter or not. All the cute little animals were to be shot.
Micrsoft needs to be stopped. Unfortunetly, it's gonna hurt. NASDAQ is down 350 points already today. thats about 6-7% MSFT went down 15 dollars. Thats alot of money. I think Judge Jackson will be postponing his judgment so there won't be such a large impact on the stock markets. Hopefully however, people will realize that the computer industry will not stop dead in it's tracks, and not sell there stock.

the best mouse I personally have ever used is a logitech trackman marble+ it is in the shape of your palm, has two buttons and a scroll wheel. you move the pointer around with your thumb on the ball. It takes a little while to get use to it, but it's more comfturble then a regular mouse, and alot more acurate in fps. I have become much better at quake because of it. (that could also be because of the fact I've been playing it more;) It's a bit expensive (circa 60-80 bucks in canuck land) but well worth the cost. If only my work would let me use it there...
Try to understand what your talking about before you go and start bad mouthing things. Christianity and violence are not diametrically opposed. Never have been, never will be. People left to themselves are violent. Christians are people. You want a good example of violence and being unmoral, look in the Old Testament. Many wars, many deaths incest, rape, adultery, it's all there. However it doesn't describe it in every detail. It doesn't need to. You seem to feel this is the first example of any Christian thing becoming outright violent. Ever read any book by Frank Perretti? (this coming darkness, the oath, and others) there incredibly violent. But alas, you have probably never read them...(each sold over a million copies) Please do not group all Christians with Jerry Fallwell. We are not all of one mind.
The reason why sites are going to the 'portal' is two fold. 1. it's what the masses want. slashdot is not the masses. AOL is the masses. the web's to complicated for them they way it is, so they want everything tied up into a nice pretty package. 2. profits. if people start using your page as there basic portal to the web, you make more money from advertising. hey look at it this way, slashdot could even be considered a portal. it's got google, amazon, shopper.com, hey even news sites.
I live in canada so our laws may be slightly different, but most likely quite similar. I worked for my last university's radio station as a dj. We were able to have a radio station because we broadcasted at the low power of 1 watt. That really doesn't take you very far, as in about a mile or so... if your lucky and don't have other interferance/concrete buildings in the way.
It is still logisticlly possible to do this until you take into account that there is only a set number of frequenies available for use. It is fairly detrimental to have two simmilar frequencies near each other, as much static and disreuption ensues. There is also the side of buying all the transmitters needed to make your radio waves. they are not exceedingly cheap when you get all the hardware you need. (converter boxes, antennas, co-axil cable, plus whatever your going to use to get your broadcats and retransmit it)
However we have something that could/can comepete with corporate radio stations and that is internet radio stations. The only problem with them is the quality is generally very low, plus you have to factor in net congestion.
Up eher we have a little cartoon carachter (not sure of name) the tells little children about the dangers of drug use. he's a typical prevetnion thing, cute cudily etc. studies have now shown however that chidren going through these programs at school or more likly to do drugs than those that don't. telling kids about it will make them get interested in it when they rebel. this anti-cracker thing could reallly backfire on them.
maybe they'll combine it with frog dna... then it can reproduce by itself... (or do I got my bio wrong?) then they'll run amuck and take over they island that that rich guy bought....
