Free trade is a concept that started to grow in the 90's. Much of the world continues to have barriers for selected industries. The UN and WTO have no teeth. Take for instance the lumber dispute between Canada and the US. Protectionism by the US was declared unfair by the WTO years ago and yet still goes on to this day.
If the US puts up barriers it will hurt domestic companies. Remember that a lot of the products imported are made by US companies in China, not Chinese products made by Chinese companies. Walmart is the prime example with many of their suppliers being US companies using cheap labour in China.
On the flipside, I would like to see barriers introduced. Executives and shareholders are the only ones who have benefited from exporting manufacturing processes and labour to developing and 3rd world countries. The middle and lower class has been significantly hurt by having the job base reduced to part-time our low paying service sector jobs. All of it in the name of lower prices and minimal rise in quality of life compared to the pre fred-trade era.
SARS was able to pass person to person, hence the large breakout in Toronto.

"The primary way that SARS appears to spread is by close person-to-person contact. Potential ways in which SARS can be spread include touching the skin of other people or objects that are contaminated with infectious droplets and then touching your eye(s), nose, or mouth. This can happen when someone who is sick with SARS coughs or sneezes droplets onto themselves, other people, or nearby surfaces."
I would suggest disk replacement being part of your server warranty. Buy the extended warranty on that too while you are at it. If you don't have the budget then purchase hardware that you don't expect to call warranty support about.
When your warranty expires then decommission the hardware and move onto new hardware or make sure there is a regular back up and continue operations as normal.
Toronto installed these at all major intersections in the downtown core. They are great for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. Everybody now knows when something is going to happen.
I have only found one intersection where the countdown hits zero and the light doesn't go amber for another 10 seconds.
If [country A] = America and [country B] = !American then BAD
Will we ever see countries with massive amount of people such as China, India, and Indonesia turn world politics upside down? Can you imagine the payback for all the atrocities? I think that we should start making fair international laws so that this will never happen.
"Chinese customs officials must stop shipments of game copiers and other infringing products out of China"
Why doesn't Nintendo go after customs of the importing countries? It's because on both sides of the import/export equation are a very small number of people who actually inspect what is going on. Why don't they get the piracy sniffing dogs out? That's right, they can barely handle the drug trade.
People are uncomfortable because of the unknown. Each town may have a different company managing the roads with different costs and fees associated. As a tourist am I hope I don't get 50 different bills in the mail for a nice road trip. Each bill with a $5 administrative fee.
the ability to charge tolls without prepaid accounts or coins.
Hopefully there will still be one lane open for coin/cash transactions.
Lets take a different analogy. A credit card number.
Like an IP address, that number is handed out by a company and is linked to my name at a particular point in time. I am responsible for it during that period of time.
Both credit card number and name are kept in a database, just like the MAC address of my modem and subscriber information. How does this make it public information that can be published?

What China will keep is the ability to disallow full foreign ownership of its companies. The neocons want China to open up so that they can buy up all the companies and funnel the money out of the country. So far the leadership has not allowed that to happen and based on history (Opium Wars) they will not allow that to happen again.
I would mod you up if I had points. Some people just don't know how to clean the inside of their car. I've smelt far worse cars then subways, and seen so much more trash in the back seat than a bus.
The inside could not have any fabric and be entirely stainless steel with a drain in the centre so that it could be powerwashed easily.
People will do all of the things mentioned because nobody is there to stop them. Any damage was 'done by the guy before me'. Security cameras might deter it (cover it up), and credit card purchase could track the user. Now think of the possibilities of tracking where people go.
Maybe push out a new prefs.js file into each user's profile.
Alternatively you could create a user.js file and push that to the workstations. It can contain only those entries that are likely to change. It overrides the prefs.js.

"restless leg syndrome" individual who won't stop tapping the back of your seat
I think those people are just being dicks. I'm a tall individual and movie theatres have never been a venue where I've touched the seat in front. Sports arenas, taxi cabs, and amusement parks make me feel like they were made for midgets.
I wonder if it will detect the songs in ads and automagically block their servers for us.
Nevermind. Ad agencies will get access around the filter after they have paid up.

Unfortunately that sounds oddly like management to me.
If Jack Bauer has taught me anything, its that even the anti terrorist unit can be compromised again and again.
All it does is removes your user from the "Administrators" group and adds you to the "Users" group.
but spend two hours dicking with the raid controller to get it to play nice
The "dicking around" has now cost you more than you saved. It should be pull out, put in, coffee break, done.

Not to shake swords, but we have had Dell courier the drive out same day.
the drive may simply not be able to handle the constant use.

it's possible but not recommended to replace the drive in one
It's possible to replace the drive in one. Apple doesn't want you to.

And yet, some of us just want to read the books, not treasure them as eternal keepsakes. That's what eBooks are about.
That's what public libraries are for. They may not have the latest releases but you can find just about anything (assuming you live in a major city).
