Yes, Yellow Fever was also a big problem. It's hard to argue which was "worse". The mosquito control programs targeted both. Yellow Fever was eradicated early on but malaria continued throughout the canal building (and continues to be a problem today).

The Supreme Court is dominated by a bunch of fanatic right wing corporate toadies.
So, the decision comes down in favor of corporations (on economic issues) or social conservatives (on social issues).
The Constitution has nothing to do with it.
The Supreme Court is the ultimate cheerleader for our fascist state.

The early construction of the canal was greatly hampered by malaria. The final success of the canal was really only possible once malaria was controlled. From the CDC website:
"The result of this malaria program was eradication of yellow fever and a dramatic decrease in malaria deaths. The death rate due to malaria in employees dropped from 11.59 per 1,000 in November 1906 to 1.23 per 1,000 in December 1909. It reduced the deaths from malaria in the total population from a maximum of 16.21 per 1,000 in July 1906 to 2.58 per 1,000 in December 1909."
"The Panama Canal was the construction miracle of the beginning of the 20th century. It also was a great demonstration of malaria control based on an integrated mosquito control program enforced by the military. Malaria was not eliminated. However, under these most trying conditions, the disease was controlled to the extent that the construction work could be completed."

I think the point of a HUD is that you don't have to take your eyes off the road to gather information from the dashboard, GPS, etc.
The fact that these were first developed for military and civilian pilots would seem to indicate that these are very safe displays... much safer than any other option. After all, they wouldn't be approved for aircraft use if they were distracting or unsafe.

Apple and Microsoft (and most other corporations) pick manufacturing locations based on price and quality. They choose China because it offers the lowest cost and good quality. They aren't going to pick up and move (even if they could find another capable manufacturer) for political reasons.
China is taking this step not to isolate themselves from the world but to isolate themselves from the NSA.

When your testosterone levels settle down, you might want to discuss your anxiety about women with a therapist.

Anecdotal reports are worthless.
A more thorough review of this issue is in the latest book by Jared Diamond "The World Until Yesterday" where he systematically studies the different stages in the evolution of society and shows a progression to less violence and more cooperation.

Interesting assertion which is contrary to my reading of the literature as well as the study in question.
