What do you think a citation depends upon? Listen, you make an unsupportable claim. I ask you to provide a citation and you don't. You refer to a single incident, as if it substantiates your claim, which it doesn't. I tell you that it doesn't and to show the absurdity of your argument, I provide a counterclaim in the same style. If we wanted to just compare those two claims (which is not the question at hand), the Rwandan death toll would have to be 10x greater than the death toll for the example that I provided. Which it is not.
I'd love to keep this argument going, but unless you can provide a citation for your claim, which it is now clear that you can't, otherwise you would have done so by now, then I'm going to bow out of this debate.
I think that I've made my point clear (several times) - simply provide some citation for your claim.
No, just a citation that shows that someone else did the research. You made quite an extravagant claim and I didn't believe that you had any firm support for it. It appears that I was correct.
Okay, this is still not a citation for your claim that "At least 10x more people killed by christians than any other group." For example, I could point to estimates for Saddam Hussein's ethnic cleansing in 1991, alone, of (estimated) 100,000 Kurds and 130,000 Shiites, to counter your single data point.
Thanks for the reply, but I don't see how this is a citation for your response to the question "Who in your opinion has carried out most massacres in recent memory?" Would my stating "Indonesia" be a refutation of your citation?
I fondly remember writing an HP Basic version for a computer that had a single-line LED display. It had really great graphics though - the forts, terrain, artillery, and cannons were drawn on the vector display of an attached (HP-IB) spectrum analyzer.
Actually, the poster may be referring to Obama's misquoting of the Declaration of Independence, where he omitted the term "the Creator" on two separate instances.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. -- Obama

Given their policy, I'm sure that Amazon would very rarely set the retail price below 20% of the MSRP. In general, I'd imagine that they wouldn't set it below 28.6% of MSRP (which provides the same payout using either rule - 20% of MSRP or 70% of actual retail price).
Perhaps she might think that "they're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." On the other hand, Tina Fey (playing Sarah Palin) might think "I can see Russia from my house." [source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_misconceptions#United_States_politics ]
What about "infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property or proprietary rights of others"? Clearly they don't have permission to republish from the copyright holders and providing complete document dumps wouldn't seem to fall under the fair use realm.
my point was that as a whole, journalists do not "arrange" a point of view
Nevertheless, you chose to single out the right wing for your point, which I found humorous given the very recent and disturbingly pervasive example that I provided. I guess you were just trying to make a cheap shot and did not mean for it to considered critically.
we could simply write software to be intelligent enough to automatically add a space between sentences when it detects a period-space-word starting with a capital letter

The CBS Poll shows his approval rating dropping to as low as 20%, so yeah, he lost his conservative base. I think it would be safe to say that quite a bit of that 20% are made up of staunch Republicans, who aren't necessarily conservatives.
This type of action by Bush was the reason his approval numbers were so low - he lost his conservative base. Conservatives were quite outspoken about this. That being said, the fiscal bailout was quite different from the "stimulus" package. The fiscal bailout was almost completely a set of loans and the large majority of those loans have been repaid. The "stimulus" package, on the other hand was mostly a giant boatload of pork-barrel spending.

Was he a Christian? If not, then he is a strong argument against the claim that I was countering.

Okay, this is going to need some sort of citation. And please factor in the wording of the original request "recent memory".

Okay, then - paraphrasing.

I always thought that McCain was reasonably articulate. I'm not seeing where you are going here.
I still have hopes for Nokia's and Intel's Meego.

"I'm touching your creamy center."
It's pretty good. I'm about one-half of the way through it and it's already been quite a help for me on a project with which I've been playing.
As a happy N900 user, I'm hoping that this hits the ground running. I certainly like the approach.

With the exception of right wing political media that get together for weekly talking points, "The Media" doesn't collude together for a common focus.
Hah. Interesting that you'd try to indict the right wing, when a very recent and substantive news item implicates the left-wing media. http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2010/aug/04/controversy-proves-collusion-among-liberal-journal/

Google too difficult for you?
Excuse me, but if you're going to refer to it, don't you think you should provide a description as to what this "Google" thing is?
XMOS (http://xmos.com/) has developed a mostly-C language with a few Occam-like extensions, which might also be worth considering. It's called XC (http://www.xmos.com/system/files/xcuser_en.pdf/).
