Here's a start. If you're really interested you could find many many more, which means that the few that the following blog/article refers to are the tip of the iceberg.
I think that this is allowing PC manufacturers to learn how to support Linux on the desktop.
With windows, manufacturers really can't distinguish themselves that much. With Linux, in the long run, this will allow them to become more like Apple, allowing them to provide a product that they have more control of. Microsoft requires that most of the branding of the PC be MS branding. Linux will allow a PC manufacturer to make this branding more their own.
They've been under the Microsoft whip for a long time now. They've helped stop a large a part of the server market from going to Microsoft. The next step will be to take control over the desktop. Even if they will eventually just use Red Hat or Ubuntu, they will be able allowed customize them substantially more than with windows.
Also, this will allow them to negotiate better with MS.
A submarine does not need a carrier battle group. The point of a sub, is a stealthy platform for launching missiles or for sneaking up on other vessels undetected. A group of effective submarines could make a carrier battle group ineffective. In a war against a major enemy, carriers will probably be useless unless their air, submarine and missile forces can be neutralized. They primarily for show and wars of aggression against far weaker enemies.
Maybe you should declare the pope evil for some of nasty things that the church does and supports. In this, he is absolutely right in attacking this corporatism which uses its own myths (many equally as false as those which the Catholic Church is based upon) to create a world in its image. Your "understanding" (whatever that is) of global economics is based on myths just like Christianity. Both myths are based upon some truth and some dogma. The current form of global capitalism creates more misery in the world than the Catholic Church does.
Ireland can afford to charge such low taxes because a lot of corporations will pay taxes there for income made from elsewhere. This makes it easy on Ireland, but saps other governments of revenue. This is why only places with a low population can be tax havens.
If these profits are made all over Europe, they should pay taxes to each country where the money was made, not just the country with the lowest tax rate.
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers . .. This means that the ISP is not liable for its censorship.
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers . .. This means that a library or school is not liable for its censorship.
It's absurd to interpret this as the provider is not liable for the censorship an individual (or parent) self imposes.
An ISP is not a book store. In most areas it is one of a very narrow range of choices for internet access. It is also quite different than deciding not to offer a service, it is like the post office deciding which books you can have sent to you. It has to go to great expense to deny you access. This is an insidious form of censorship disguised as the free market.
This has nothing to do with interest in space exploration. It is about investing in local technology companies and making sure that the technologies are mastered by local industry. It is also about investing a lot of money into military applicable technologies.
While this cycle is true, you misrepresent it as a balance. The trade imbalance to China alone far exceeds the total of all US arms exports (of which a good part is paid for by "foreign aid"). In fact the arms exports cannot even balance one or two months of oil imports. The trade imbalance this year already exceeds $400 Billion.
They want you be saddled with insane amounts of debt, just like third world nations. This makes you work your ass off so that you become more beholden to the system.
As far as public vs private, this administration and its main backers prefers the latter because it will saddle you with higher amount and allow those who are in the business to make easy money. This is about moving money from the average tax payer to the rich. For society as a whole, it would probably be more efficient to provide a higher education system which does indebt college graduates, but this would violate the current gospel of the universal superiority of the private enterprise in all things.
No, it could have started an "uncontrolled nuclear reaction". This probably could have caused a disaster which made Chernobyl look minor. Who knows how much other radioactive material is stored at this location and what kind of fires and/or explosions could have been caused if this had gotten out of control. If an accident of this magnitude happened, a far worse one is not that unlikely.
This is not government central planning, but corporate central planning. This really has nothing to do with the regulation causing this fiasco, but that the regulation was pointless, that the major telcos just did whatever they wanted anyway.
What you don't understand, is that effective regulation is required to have any kind of long-term competitive market, especially when the product is not a commodity.
OS X is only part of a package. You cannot use it by itself, so it is not really an operating system available for general use, it is part of a niche product.

All infringement on liberty must be fought or when it is time to fight for the "bigger fish" it will be too late.

The same can be said for U.S. treatment of its own poor. What a government spends money on is not necessarily related to where it's needed.

- It is not free software.
- It is DRM loaded.
- It is limited to a very narrow set of hardware.
- It is controlled by a single organization.
These are all things that I find unacceptable in an OS.you really think that the idiot is actually in charge?
I'm sure we can just have them print their own dollars.

I think that's "to ease indigestion"
i guess it's even more convenient to not rtfa
methinks you didn't rtfa because they didn't blame microsoft
