And this makes a slashdot headline?
Actually, I first heard about Linux when I sat in on my girlfriend's speech 101 class and a computer science student in the class gave a presentation. That's right, I switch because I thought CDE looked cool.
Per capita, the USA is dead first, no matter how you slice it. By state-only donations, by federal donations, by private individual donations, by religious donations only, by corporate donations only, internal only, external only, time, money, property, and people -- each of these sectors, per capita, is responsible for more giving than any other country in the world, and that's a fact. No matter what list you post. The US government pays 22 percent of the UN budget, and 27 percent of the peacekeeping budget (as well as supplying the bulk of peacekeeping men and equipment for free) More than all of Europe and Canada combined.
Hey I just realized that I'm not perfect. Maybe everyone else is and I should listen to them. Or maybe it's only a few manifest failures full of their self importance despite being repeatedly proven wrong who think they're perfect and want me to only listen to them.
Millions of Americans, including both myself and Bill Gates, do no have healthcare coverage. Why? Because we don't want to pay for insurance that costs more than the same treatment would cost if we paid cash. Many of us would even rather pay steep interest on medical bills for years rather than pay the ridiculous premiums on insurance that will be refused when we actually need it, or at the very least, cost us thousands of dollars and years of litigation to obtain the payments from the insurance companies that refuse to honor their contracts.
The USA has the oldest government in existance. If you count England's transition from monarchy to parliament, they'd outdo us by a few years. But the governments of France, Germany, Spain, Russia, China, Canada, and everywhere else are mere infants in comparison to the good old U. S. of A.
By the same leftists count, Saddam Huessein would have killed more than half a million Iraqi civilians in the same amount of time if he had stayed in more under the sanctions regime.
Remember, there was a war and a "ceasefire" that included no-fly zones, economic sanctions, and 17 UN resolutions that were all violated. Every year since the ceasefire Iraqi military forces attacked American military forces tasked with maintaining the peace. Iraq also supported international terrorist groups including Al Qaeda, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Islamic Brotherhood. Iraq disregarded the economic sanctions and refused to honor it's disarmament agreements. It violated the ceasefire repeatedly, attacking not only American and other coalition forces, but it's own citizens repeatedly. And it still had chemical weapons and had trained Al Qaeda operatives on the use of chemical weapons.
It is really bad for Redhat. Redhat used to have 75% of Linux users, developers, and admins working for them. Now there's still a 10% hardcore base that still contributes, but their only customers are existing enterprises. Most of whom hold their nose and use Fedora, and are looking at training their admins and devs onto something else. Fedora is killing Redhat (the company) because Redhat killed Fedora (the distribution) after killing Redhat (the distribution) because they thought it competed with their sales channel. No one will willingly pay for Redhat support anymore because Fedora is crap. If SUSE gets it's act together, they could really make a killing. So could a venture that supports CentOS and helps them test and put out more updates and provide support.
Actually that's a liberal-libertarian-nihilist viewpoint.
"Who are you to tell somebody what to do with their life?"
As in life doesn't have any meaning beyond what each individual decides it does.
Product recalls are a punishment designed to financially damage a company that has been found at fault in a lawsuit. A monetary settlement benefits the victims' families. It's the difference between wanting revenge or an apology.
I saw an elk trample a flower bed, and they weren't in his food chain at all. They're as evil as you and me and Joseph Stalin. Most bacteria are downright English, though.
The rocks like the moss. The deterioration caused by the moss gives them a slimmer, smoother appearance that certain trees find attractive. And rocks are all about impressing certain trees. The rolling/non-moss-gathering aspect of smoothed rocks is an involuntary reaction.
Just because something happened once doesn't mean it will happen again. Even lottery winners know better than to reinvest in the mechanism that paid off in the first place.
So the claim is that man is (at least tangentially) responsible for the extinction of upwards of 700 species, over all time (including ice age species whose extinction may or may not have been affected by mankind.) And you think that in the next 100 years we'll get rid of thousands more species, now that we are aware that it can happen and take measures to prevent it (when desirable)? Nevermind the thousands that have extincted themselves without our help.

...The U.S.S.R. was only half... or less... of why we were involved in Vietnam The other half was China, the traditional colonial overload of Vietnam.

Well, America just kindof sorta saved the British Commonwealth's ass a couple times too, if you remember.
And yet it's not the Balinese complaining. It's some Australian liberal.

Just as likely, they're British, New Zealander, or Italian tourists, and the ignorant Europeans can't tell one foreigner from another.

What did they offer. That's late propoganda in response to the contrast having already been pointed out.
Somalia has no oil. As in Zero proved reserves. Might someone someday extract oil from Somalia? Possibly. But no one has yet.
The famine was "almost over" before the USA intervened because the intervention ended the famine. It's like saying "I was hungry until I ate dinner."
You are a racist and a bigot. You hate Attorney Generals Ashcroft because he is Christian and Gonzales because he is Latino.
The press openly disagrees with the president's policies, and this is a sign of reduced freedom of the press?
