I have also had encountered a few similar toilet rooms, but these were much worse. I have seen a few guys shitting inside; no, seriously! And then, I came across a legendary phenomenon that perhaps takes place in China only: two guys using a single commode and peeing together. This scene was something that money can't buy!!
Listen, VIM is a text editor, and if u expect it to find u the holy-grail, u r a complete moron. However, there is something out there to help u in your quest. It's called EMACS. Happy now?
As a visitor entering Japan, you are subject to being fingerprinted and having your picture taken at border control as well as a bunch of harassing questions such as, "Where are you staying and who are you staying with?"(I always make up a fake address). I don't know how much different it is compared to the US, but if they rejected Chicago because of these restrictions, they probably rejected Tokyo for a lot of the same reasons.
I live in Japan from last 5 years and I disagree with you. They do ask some questions but the way they ask is so polite and humane that you would be "willing" to give them more information that they are asking for. They also have concerns about their security. This not like some rude US officer is harassing you. Most probably, you will encounter a cute Japanese lady there giving you an unforgettable smile you might ever have encountered. The attitude of the officers as well as the local people are very very polite and honest.
Really, I wonder if it wouldn't be better for tourists and terrorists to land in Mexico and just illegally enter the country. A ten hour hike through the desert seems less painful than trying to deal with the Border agency legally.
From common sense, it seems pretty hard to accept the existence of magnetic monopoles, unless there also exists some "fundamental" monopole-particles. I think so because all the fundamental particles what we know until now are magnetic dipoles, e.g. electron, protons etc. (please correct me if I am wrong). Therefore, any physical object consisting of these fundamental magnetic dipoles, will either be a magnetic dipole or neutral. So, how can a magnetic monopole exist in reality if there is no "fundamental" particle that is a magnetic monopole?
(The field lines, electric or magnetic, are non-physical (this is just a concept that ease up the process of understanding). So, although it is acceptable from theoretical point of view to have a magnetic field line spreading from or converging into a magnetic monopole, I seriously doubt its physical existence.)
Would you mind shedding some light about it in simple terms?
Lalu Prasad Yadav has been in jail for 6 months or so in the fodder scam. Therefore, u can say that we have an active judiciary system who doesn't hesitate to put high-profile politicians into jail. Him getting convicted or not is not dependent only on the court, rather, as I said in my previous comment, it also depends on how much the police and investigation agencies are willing to collect and produce evidences. In absence of evidences, court can't do anything, be it a politician or anyone ordinary. It's the police to blame, not the judiciary system. I believe, we have got one of the best judiciary systems in the world.
"Really ? Name 10 'biggest politicians' arrested/imprisoned/convicted by the Supreme Court in India ?"
As an example, what do u think about Lalu Prasa Yadav?
If you are pointing to some cases where big politicians couldn't get prosecuted, like Narendra Modi, it's not courts' fault. Instead, this is all about the unwillingness of police or investigation agencies to collect evidences against such high-profile politicians. A court can't do anything without strong evidences in a criminal case.
However, challenging a policy in court is a different issue. The judges can look into the constitution by themselves and then decide if the policy in question is favorable to the people of India or not. And perhaps, that is the reason we have witnessed the RTI act coming into effect in a useful form.
If this act starts getting misused on a large scale, the possibility of it being challenged in a court in India is quite high. Nowadays, in India, awareness among people is growing very fast and challenging a government policy in court is not very uncommon. Also, many NGOs are strongly raising the issues of human-right abuses and individuals freedom. To exemplify, RTI [http://www.rtiindia.org] can be cited as one of the big outcomes in recent days. Also, the Gujrat government is brought to its knees by a court for unfair treatment of minorities. There are many other examples too.
I can't say 'when', but, chances of it being challenged in some court is pretty high.
That's right. The idea itself is bad. You can comapare it with having something like idea of Jihad (actually the way the idea is being propagated by the hardliners, the bad way). If you have some unnatural/awkward ideas, you can have it happily within yourself. However, you should not be allowed to infect others with these ideas. Look it in this way: make some hate-speaches in a functional country (may be in USA also) and you will be locked up because you are infecting others with your bad ideas.
Gays harm a society in the same way cigarettes harm. It inspires others to try out something unnatural, which can't be justified. If gays want to have their own world INVISIBLE TO OTHERS, that's perfectly fine (on the grounds of their right to exercise their free will). However, as I said before, they should not be allowed to contaminate the rest of the world.
"Many US citizens still support oppressing the rights of gay people"
Just a different point of view: Why do you exactly think that the gay-thing should be legalized or gays should be given equal rights what non-gays enjoy?! By all means, the gay phenomenon is unnatural and it doesn't seem reasonable to let a really small fraction of the population (gays) contaminate a society. You know, you can enjoy exercising your free will only if it doesn't harm others. If it does, it becomes an offence and it should not be given any legal backup.
The best way to lower down the risk seems to be to use a temporary gmail account and get all the mail forwarded to this account from your main gmail account. While replying, add the main gmail account as an alternate account in this temporary account.
Besides, the gmail now offers https as an option to choose it as a default mode. Use it.
And of course, after returning back, reset all the passwords u ever used in China.
Listen, I suggest you something logical. Forget that Oak-people. They are simply misleading people by creating false sensations in media.
Ask google to display real-time usage statistics on GoogleEarth in different regions (more usage = brighter area). In this way, you just have to look for dark regions in the GUI to locate where the power outage is actually taking place. So simple.

hey, I have got a question: what the hell does your signature do? i mean: ":(){:|:&};:". I tried to execute it and my computer got frozen. I don't know shell-scripting and have no idea what did it do (google didn't help).
Use Gmarks. It lets you export your Firefox-bookmarks to the Google-bookmarks and then access it through a Firefox-menu.
Once you have exported your present Firefox-bookmarks, use this GMarks menu for adding new bookmarks or deleting old ones. It seems to be a better option than the Google-sync because Google provides you a web-interface also to access the stored bookmarks. It means, u can access it anywhere, even if you are not using Firefox.

www.callwithus.com
It's 4 times cheaper to my country:
Google rate: US$0.06/min
Callwithus rate: US$0.015/min
I didn't thoroughly compare the rates to all other countries one-by-one, but it looks relatively cheaper than what Google has to offers.

But since they must exist, it's better if everybody have them. Deterrence.
ummmm...no, irresponsible countries should certainly not have it (as it is possible for the terrorists to have their hand on these weapons).
Well, at the same time, the responsible countries also don't have any reason to possess it!!
sorry but can u be more descriptive in the kind of aid the UK is providing to India? In which field? And are you sure that it is "aid"?

"I know you are being funny, but CERN uses Scientific Linux. [scientificlinux.org]"
I have said it before and I say it now: Wine is catching the mark.
Everybody, please take this opportunity to congratulate the Wine team!!
No, they are using Linux.
But I would take this opportunity to congratulate the Wine team that they are finally reaching the mark and bringing a bug-to-bug compatibility!
2008 would be a year for Wine!
Georgian people also agree with you partially.

"Do you seriously expect the average Chinese citizen to be able to get VPN out og China, and risk...."
Why don't you use Firefox? I think, Firefox-3 is pretty cool and you must give it a try. It also highlights spelling mistakes like "og".
You can make it even more understandable by the following:
if ( condition )
{
statement1;
}
else{
statement2;
}
I am not a professional in coding but I always found the following more readable and easy to understand:
if(condition)
{
statement1;
}
else{
statement2;
}
In case of multiple and nested if-else situations, I found it very easy to follow.
thanks! that was a nasty signature! ;)
