"innovation innovation innovation innovation" - everyone is repeating it like parrots. you cant just innovate every f**kin month. even not every f**kin year. before they even start widely using an innovation that is made, management starts crapping around about a 'new innovation'. maybe thats because they are actually not adding any real value to the company and feel like they are doing it when they do the innovation blabbering.
riaa sells extravagantly priced products, with 50 cents cost per piece but $15 price per piece.
then giving out say, $5 every 2-3 days to a robber wouldnt hurt any people with $200 disposable income either. this way the money would get in circulation, physical assault during robbery cases would go down, and it would be a safer place. small price to pay for less violent crime dont you think ? it can even be made official and 'robbing' might be taken out of the scene altogether. just 'donate' $5 every 2 days to someone a local street commitee would decide. huh ? dont like it ?
robbery and what riaa does have little difference. thats why people are NOT paying, despite they can very well afford.
And for the people who are arguing the bicycles, pedestrians etc would mess with the actual traffic congestion, remember that in bangalore those constitute a great deal of the traffic jam too.
since when "i have paid tens of thousands of dollars to acquire something that is private to someone/company by all laws" is not illegal ? or did judge get paid too ?
thats what it should have been all along from the start !! great job you internet giants - now we can join in on this as the public and get things in their right places.
and you are an anonymous coward. not even ironic. come forward plain and honest say your opinion as who you are instead of 'gibberish'ing stuff without any argumentation.
That defense basically explains the situation. Stuff like these are always in contradiction to law of reason. Modern laws are built upon the philosophy that no fraction, group whatsoever should be able to be higher than the others in any possibility modern life has to offer - be it wealth, be it protection be it any right. It doesnt mean that the record cartel is actually a group that with hard work or chance a person or some people can set up a record company and get in. As a group, they are still way too privileged when it comes to business and law, and unfairly so. This contradicts with equality basis the modern society was built upon.
just like it was idiocy for chamberlain to say "peace at our times" after coming from talks with hitler after he invaded austria, czechoslovakia and danzig.
What you describe below neither does make what they are doing true, or neither alleviate the fact that every country in the world affects the entire civilization. If tomorrow an extremist sect takes control of chinese communist party and starts to incite the chinese population to enmity, hatred towards other nations and prepare grounds for a war, or starts to spread this philosophy to other countries, the perception you describe below means suicidal. Same goes for every country in the world. You cannot do anything, everything in your own land, on grounds that it is your land.
Whether you like the Chinese government or not, and whether you feel that they are wrongfully occupying Tibet or not, the fact is that they feel that this is their territory, and nobody in the world offers any serious challenge; ergo, Tibet is de facto a part of China. Nobody in their right mind would expect a country to allow an external, hostile, political power to influence the internal affairs of the country - the US have historically been very heavyhanded in similar situations (eg. the communist scare after WWII); many would still today argue that it was right of them.
Headscarves in those countries are being used as an extreme right wing political icon by their holders. Its a stance, a rallying point like nazi flag was for nazi. It also encourages discrimination - islamists can recognize each other easily and socialize. they do not tend to socialize with people not using headscarves and even shun them.
Chinese govt. did this to prevent a successor to Dalai Lama. Which was to be chosen by monks who would find a boy who is a reincarnation of Dalai Lama. Basically this is reincarnation at its finest, and chinese govt. officially acknowledged reincarnation.
Arent swedish the people which brought us the Pryratbryan (however the heck its typed) ? one of the most liberal and advanced countries in the world ? how come did they become microsoft's bitch ?
But a few hundred years ago, some researchers in Europe developed a curious new approach: They published their discoveries openly, making them available for others to read, use, and build on. This led to the explosive growth of knowledge that we're familiar with.
and the above is most precisely true, as the "sciences" and "nighttime experiments" and publication of these was a pastime for noble or rich or upper middle class gentlemen during late 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. these eras are the time periods at exactly when enlightenment occured, age of reason came forth and great discoveries were made.
at the advent of 20th century, with the industrialization and patent concept becoming something that can be used for making money, withholding information has begun and the speed at which we make discoveries went down. late 20th century is much worse, with the concept of patent being seen as something that can be used as a stock that can be traded and rented to third parties or be used to extort money from them.
decidedly, we should push down the 'intellectual property' menace to lower levels if we want our civilization to be able to cope with incoming challenges through use of science.
being cautious as to a corporation which is under a strictly tight government's rule buying out the biggest, most important hard drive maker in the WORLD, is what it is - cautious.
its not a european country or a japanese company or american or canadian or even brazilian - its a COMMUNIST country's company. which will do whatever they are told, without excuses if government orders.
curious though, despite im not afraid to say what i mean to say without hiding my identity, some people like you post as anonymous cowards. why is that ?

didnt big bang start from a point ? well you have found your point - wherever all of them have been pointing, it should be probably where it started.

its not the same. swedish spelling is different.
ehhhhh. i dont think reincarnation mechanism gives a jack shit about what some bureaucrats think.
yes. for a crime to exist, it should be a reality. reincarnation should exist for it to be a crime.
im a liberal, and this is wisdom.

i havent looked it that way. with this, chinese government has had officially accepted reincarnation.

There is no stupider stupiDDiTTy on the face of the world than banning reincarnation.
