Having relatives and friends living and/or working in Venezuela qualifies as a source for you? Don't forget, crocodile dundie, that I am a Brazilian, and so, I am a lot closer to the venezuela than you.
Instead of supporting communist dictatorships in Latin America, why don't you, rich-fat-first-world-communist-kid, try to be the Chavez in your own country? Go ahead, do the you Boliarian Revolution in Australia, US, whatever! But stop helping fuck latin america!
We don't need you here, kid. There are real people here, boy, very far beyond the gates of the Sociology Department of your university. And those people don't need to go suffering again with the misery brought by populist and/or proto-socialistic dictators again. We've had enough of that.
Staling was an ally of the US "during" the WWII. Soon after the WWII, they become a real treat to the occidental word (and of course, for his own people).
About Cambodja, either you are lying, or you need to study more. For sure, the american bombings increased popular support of the peasants for the Khmer Rouge, but the Khmer Rouge itself was never supported by the US, but by the Chinese and North Vietnam. Actually the US supported the Generalo Lon Nol's government, that had deposed Sihanouk, that would later support the Khmer Rouge, that in turn would eliminate Lon Nol. North Vietnam and China supported Pol Pot, not the US, sir.
The funny thing more than 30 years later is that Kissinger was right. After Vietnam fell, all of Indochina fell together to communism. Living standards dropped as usual, millions were executed. And today, southeast asian states who didn' become communist have orders of magnitude better living standards than those who choose the route to communism. Funny thing is that the anti-protesters at that time, always failed to condemn the soviet and chinese support of the north Vietnamese, just like you today pretend that IRAN is not behind the terrorist attacks in Iraq. I think the Iraq invasion was a mistake, but the Iraq people could be a lot better, and the US troops could have been gone home for a long time, if it weren't for the direct participation of Iran and Siria national in the insurgency. The massive participation of Iraqis on the last election show that they are relieved of being freed from Saddam. If it weren't for people like you, the foreign terrorists and former Saddam suporters in Iraq, the US troops would have left the country by now.
Sure. soviet-style workers' councils were everybody has the same ideas, where the leaders chosen are the ones supported by the state.
Hey man, I am not a naive american who has never seen such things, and thus, is prone to believe in your fantasy. I am a Brazilian, and in the past was even a member of the Workers Party (PT), So I know exactly how where such things are headed, and basically, you either doesn't understand freedom, or you don't like it.
Under your point of view, brainwashing the masses, silencing dissent, using hate and manipulating are signs of a strong democracy.
Chavez is a dictator who is trashing his country economy, dividing his society, and who is seeking absolute power. Oil prices are high, but Venezuelas's people have less jobs and depend increasingly on direct transfers from government and social programs, thus being forced to believe that Chavez is their saviour.
Your power supply is rated 500W, it doesn't mean you're using 500W. The most energy-hungry item in your computer is the CPU, which uses at most 130W, then, it comes the GPU and hard drives, in the worst cases the sum of it all would be no more than 250W. The reason you have a 500W power supply, is that usually, in order to increase stability and safety, it's a good practice to load power supplies well below their rated max output. Unless, of course, you have a SMP machine with 2 or 4 cpus (cpus, not cores in the same chip), but in that case, your supplies probably would be rated 750W or 1000W.

Sure!!! We must thank Soviet Union, Cuba and China for having the internet, satellite communications, v1agr2, macintoshes, linux, VoIP, 7+1 receivers, NMR scanners, LCDs, cell phones etc etc etc.
And what would be the state of quantum physics without soviet institutions like the MIT? Or Cuban ones like Caltech?
If we had to depend on capitalism for _real_ innovation, we all know that we would be driving a Trabi now.
People change, given the right incentives and of course, the threath of punishment. Go back 100 years in time, and the simple idea that people needs to wash their hands after going to toillete would seem something almost impossible to put on people's head. 100 years later, except for some filthy freaks, nobody needs to be remembered to do so, even in a third world country like the one I live in.

I believe that the formal specification of a language cannot be patented. At least, I hope so, in order to believe that there's still some sanity in this world.
Take a look at how many stories from Network World have been published lately. Is that story insightful? funny? useful?
I know/. is going downhill lately: there's a lot of stupid mods, lots of dups, but still we have to draw the line somewhere, and I think that becoming a dumpster of Network World risible stories is a bit far that line.
Bad Man, Bad! Now wait for the folks from IFEAA (IFE Association of America) to send their lawyers at you branding copies of the DMCA and calling you a pirate.
The worst thing in psychopaths like the GP is that they tend to be ACs not only on slashdot. Usually people with views like that are child molesters, or they spank homosexuals, or do some other stupid acts while covering as role model citizens, and here at slashdot they troll as ACs because they are not man enough to assume their opinions.
Why I am not surprised this lady drives a SUV? Am I being too prejudicial wondering if I keep wondering whether she takes her sons to soccer training on Sundays?
I know it's gross. But the first thing that came to my mind was gas-chambers before I realized that you was only talking about sending them to prison. I have to stop watching old war movies. Really.

RTFA. That feature in windows is not even similar to putting the swap on a flash drive, which would be a really really stupid idea.
No man. This is a bad fantasy. I would not have money to pay my ISP for the extra-traffic after being slashdotted.

You mean... the book was written in PHP, or Visual Basic?
For sure. This lady's laptop is the first intelligent specimen found around here.

Coal burning is by far a greater source of mercury. So, the mercury balance is going to improve as long as burn less coal to generate electricity.

I am sure Tom Cruise would agree to you.

You can get it by having a monopoly, and after you have, you can have as much Sex as you want.
