Most of the people living on this planet do not have English as mother tongue, and I did not said my English was perfect, nor that it was my language. So I do esteem I can give my opinion about an issue that is not only about the "English" language use, but is valid for all languages used on this planet.
We could use abbreviated words on our exams before mobiles sms where common, it where the kind of abbreviations we used to note quickly what the professor told us in class, but it was probably less worse than actual text-speech of the younger generations:) Our abbreviated words where mostly the first and last letter with a line drawn uppon it, and those where allowed by the professors.
I want give any concrete examples as it was not in English, but in more mathematical courses we could write// instead of parallelism.
So it is not that new, but there are surely more 'abbreviated' words now.
But then again, I do not think it is that good for the students, and it want do them any good in their later professional life where communication skills are very important.
I do know nothing about warfare but still when you say
a type of war NO ARMY has ever fought.
I would disagree, the soviets had a quite similar situation in Afghanistan, a liberating army against multiple combat cells, i mean:not a conventional combat force, and some background players.
And Americans should have known that, once having beaten the conventional Saddam's army, there was a STRONG possibility of having a guerrilla type of war between the Americans and the multiple ethnicity's, and in between those ethnicity's. Also, there are other examples of ethnically diverse countries ruled by dictators that exploded once you removed the iron hand of the dictator, Yugoslavia is an example. It are not identical situations, but still I do think that a lot of countries would not engage themselves in irak because they suspected Irak to be a gunpowder barrel (this besides the fact there where no 'objective' reasons to engage irak).
Sure google filter copyrighted versions? Yesterday I went seeing the WoW south park episode on google video after they took it off from youTube.
anyway, it's surely more complicated than i can think off.
This article should give you a first idea, for belgium it's right the minimal is 20 days if you are full-time.... but most people I know have more days (defined by their contract), personally as freelancer it's something between 0 and 365, but this year it will be closer to 0:)
We will have too trust our lives more and more too machines, we already do it in hospitals...
Machines and electronics are less subject to stress... pilots will have to share their responsabilities with electronics, it's inevitable.
Still, we should first have a good quality check procedures on those programmers and engineers work, as a programmer myself I wouldn't trust my own code to keep me alive:)
I know it's possible today, but today's market adoption of 3G is slow... and far from being mainstream. That's not a propice environment for virusses... still once everybody will have a 3G mobile (and your laptop will also be 3G) more and more community services will show up, and people will be connected for longer times, the virusses will point their nose.
Even if today the thread is quite small as most blue tooth are off, once 3th generation phones will become popular and people will have services running on their phone and stay mostly always connected (imagine a messenger services on phones, sure some kids will love that) the thread will grow increasingly.
That's why it's important too take in account those potential threads when designing today the phones of tomorrow. We have a long experience with Os's and viruses, much major mistakes can still be avoided...
It are not the same 'budget' games anymore, there was a time where small teams could get their stuff out and conquer the world, like prince of persia or others like the bullfrog team, and others..., i forgot....
But I just wanted to share this site for the nostalgics http://c64s.com/classic Commodore 64 games online..., even if I was rather a huuuge Atari ST fan, i had a lot of fun with the c64.
If I would run an ISP, I would offer 'adult content filtering' as a service, their is obviously a big market for this.
Where I live, there are not that much differences between ISP's, I'am pretty sure a lot of parents would take such a service into account when choosing for an ISP.
Bush family? Sad to say, Abraham Lincoln was more corrupt than all the Bushes combined.
It is from historic point of view meaningless and erroneous to compare the governance between two people coming from different centuries. Worldview, Democracy, rights and ethics evolved enormously since the 19th century, we are talking of a time where it was considered normal (anyway in most of Europe) that 'normal(>90%)' people are not considered 'able' to vote.
The point is do not compare Bush with Lincoln, but Bush with it's contemporaries. Considering this, it does not mean the conclusion would be different at all,:)
As 'everybody knows':) there are different phases in the codecion procedure that is used to make new European laws. The parliament rejected the commission patent project a first time and emitted a bunch of amendments. BUT the commission neglected totally the amendments submitted by the parliament. So this negative second vote is a response to the total contempt with which the Parliament was treated by the Commission and the Council.
Thus it does not really means that the majority of the parliament is totally against patenting, it just means they do not want the first proposal of the commission. So I do not think that the battle is over, but I did not expected the patent lobby where retaking the battle that fast.
Let me also bring to attention that the rejection of an European law on patents did never meant that patenting would be forbidden by the member states, the rejection meant that there would be no European harmony in the patents law. So the 'against patent' war was not won, we needed a law prohibiting member states to patent software.

It's not a poll, it's a vote so the 'error rate' should be 0, no?

If you have more trust in Google than your doctor, it's maybe time to change doctor!
And some will say that Microsoft can't ship on time!! at least cakes they can
