Sadly, I'd say it's based more on experience than idealism. Mexico isn't exactly a free market. To survive in business there, you have to give an receive kickbacks, to both governments and other businesses, as well as to the criminal world. An "honest" business just doesn't stand a chance in such an environment, so translating the rules of the hidden economics -- seen by the CEO as the "real" economy -- of doing business to the rules of open economics seems to make sense to him.
Not to society. Anti-social means disagreeing with socialism, as interpreted by the person charging you with anti-socialism. Apparently rape, mugging, drunkeness, assault, et al, are not considered anti-social by the British authorities. And no, it's not Tony Blair's fault, like some on the article's website are saying.
I recommend a good book, about the state of England: "Our Culture, What's Left of It" by Theodore Dalrymple.
Are you kidding? 50% of websites probably use Xen, whether they know it or not.
Data center market penetration isn't everything. The data center market percentage usage of virtualization software is about nil.
The discussion started about a Nazi who quit working for a company because it was owned Jews. Godwin's law has no relevance, except in reverse, because the fact was initially hidden.
Reinhard Heydrich...
From Wikipedia:
--
Reich governor of Bohemia and Moravia. Hitler considered him a possible successor. He was nicknamed The Butcher of Prague, The Blond Beast and Der Henker (German for the hangman).
"Protector of Bohemia and Moravia" and the chief planner of the Final Solution, the Nazi term for the genocide of the Jews during the Holocaust.
--
Reinhard Heydrich was a Nazi petty dictator installed by Hitler in Czechoslovakia after it was conquered by Germany in World War 2.
I do not see the moral equivalence.
What about all the Palestinian Jews, and all the Jews from around the Middle East that have been driven out of their countries and found refuge in Israel?
Okay, fine. So the World Trade Center was a legitimage military target. And so was the pentagon.
But was a military attack against the USA justified? Obviously, no.
But you don't be lieve in right or wrong?
Then you need to ask, should they have attacked the USA? The strategic is again, even more obviously, no.
If might makes right, then the USA is so right that it is morally wrong to attack it. But if weakness makes right, then you're better off being wrong and strong.
So even moral relativism says you shouldn't do it.
Courageous like a Syrian (only much further away from the fighting.) The 'sniper' likes to hurl epithets at Jews from a safe distance, but is too chickenshit to actually make the sacrifices his "brothers" in Hesbollah cause those around them to.
I don't think "shared nothing" means "everything shares the same thing." If it is a buzzword used to sell databases, sorry, I didn't know. But the whole idea of "autonomous" systems, at least in the sense that Amazon (refusing to accept the label) does, is that even databases aren't shared. App 1 might collect user data and store it in a postgres database. App 2 might collect order data and store it in an oracle database. App 3 might keep track of referers in a flat file (perhaps apache's access.log) App 4 might do analytics on all this information by using a perl script to parse App 3's log and put it into a DB, replicating App 2's db in real time, and querying App 1's DB as needed.
The point is, that they avoid the monstrous single point of failure database. Sure it takes more work to mirror and query, but that's the tradeoff you make for scalability. Undoubtably there is a database in existence big enough to handle all of Amazon's data, but they've found it cheaper, and more agile to separate it out.
In 1920 the average income was around $5/day.
Today, given an average salary of $30,000, that equals $120/day.
$600/$25 = 24 times increase in the price of gold.
$120/$5 = 24 times increase in wages.
It's almost like gold has the exact same value!
Except that gold is overvalued a bit, and investments (either in stocks or real estate) gives an edge to those who invest versus saving cash or gold.
Well, in the case of Mexico, we actively work to fuck up their politics so that they never recover, and we can keep exploiting them.
How?
Good thing you don't have any money to put where your mouth is, because I just called your bluff.

I know what you're thinking. Did they break off six branches or only five?
They're punks, either way.

Or maybe Bill Gates just doubled his money, forced the goverment to not tax him, and decided to go into politics.
Was George Bush Sr. the puppermastet?

If "one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter" it's a simple matter to look at the evidence and decide which one is right.

That's not news. If Germany had American copyright laws, Herr Goebbels' descendants could sue DailyKos.com for infringement.
responding to the first major thread in reply to the above: maybe some people just don't know the difference between the words "could" and "couldn't"
It doesn't need to be "nazi" to protest Israel by legally not supporting their products
Nazis have never had a monopoly on anti-semitism.

Yeah. I realized that it was a transcription error, though, from the answer. It should have read "grid" not "good."
Notice, also, that engineers get paid less in Canada.
Why, don't you know how to handle a screwdriver?

The "landed gentry" in America is over 60% of the population. Nowhere else in the world has that open of a democracy.
They use cilantro. And most likely import it from the USA, where it can be grown cheaper.
