They have taken an oath as servants of the people, but instead, seek to rule over them as their masters and confiscate/limit the fruits of their labor and give them to those who have not earned it in exchange for political favor, and try to control what private citizens spend their own money on, while limiting the amount of success someone is allowed to attain.

So the poor have no Right to food, what a horrible uncivilised unChristian country, would be ridiculed at the United Nations, have them depend on what - Christian charity? As a scientist I know that if a population is starving the likelihood of shootings and stabbings increases, which all American citizens do not want. Do a poll - How many Americans want themselves and their children to be tortured for money and physically shot and killed? And would you give a five percent tax to avert this possibility? Pretty much everybody would say yes they would pay the tax.

On the big chess board if the missile defence system is put in check by the Russians then America would have to move its pieces to perform more invasions of Arabic countries pre-emptively

Russia has good relations with Iran. What if Russia orders Iran to fire nuclear weapons at Europe? Or at Israel knowing that the USA intervened in Serbia - a Russian-controlled country. If Iran caused trouble to Israel the USA would have to nuke Iran, if Iran has nukes for secondstrike at Europe this is unacceptable under NATO

I think its way simpler than that - the US has two stances - passive in the world, and actively imposing its will on the world with its military. It was passive and Pearl Harbour happened, the US invaded a bunch of countries including Germany which hadnt actually started a war with the USA. So the precedent is set that when the USA gets cheesed off, any country it doesnt like gets hit - so its not you-invade-me we-invade-you, its America-sitting-on-its-ass or America-invading-everyone-it-doesnt-like

The German company Convar reads data from damaged hard drives using blue lasers. They're currently recovering data from the World Trade Centre hard disks using this blue laser method.

I think the point here is that if you get an idiot and give him an MBA you just have an idiot with an MBA, not an intelligent person. A person that would look at a 5-year 8percent bond and go that's cheap without considering the macroeconomic implications of rising interest rates (which devalues bonds)

It seems if a zero was entered into a field instead of a non-zero number, the web app would crash (or it was something equally stupid - please don't hold me to actual issue

I've seen onshore problems far worse than that. But yes the offshore ones depend on management communications which isn't always good, for example a web app came back in ASP.NET instead of VisualBasic, it's like "You don't get a more basic error than using the wrong programming language, what should I do throw away the webserver with all our existing customers on it?"

Anyone who doesn't recycle when their government cajoles them to because they think it violates their civil liberties is harming their neighbour via increased pollution and increased landfill, this violates many world religion including Christianity where there's a commandment "Love thy neighbour"

When I got my first floppy drive when I was 10 (before hard disks) I took that five and a quarter inch disk and put my fingers on the finger recess and put the disk in the drive. After a few days of trying I realised that the finger recess was the area where the magnetic media was exposed (five and a quarter inch disks have an exposed magnetic media unlike three and a half inch disks which have a shutter). My first disk in my life I had ruined, I cried for hours
