Your logic is flawed as their was never Country A. There was Empire A's mandate under the UN that included land that Country B was formed out of. When Country B was created, all the country's around it decided to try to drive them into the sea rather then work to create separate Country A and Country B. Also add in the Country A's people's traditional homeland was in the western part of Country J, not where Country A / B is. Do forget that Country B's neighbors would rather have Country A's people living without a country as it provides the dictatorships in these countries with issue to inflame their own populace away from the general crappiness of these countries.

Yea, trying to portray Israel as a villain only works in a vacumn....

3. Teachers should be paid as much as doctors and it should be a prestigious job. You cannot improve a society without education. I can't believe anyone would want to cut funds for education.

Thats fine, as long as the education required to become a teacher along with the certifications, internship, and continuing eduction match that of a doctor. Teachers are not paid as much as a doctor because becoming a teacher requires a liberal arts BA degree (the easiest to get) and a fifth year of education. If we required teachers to make the same as doctors then we would have a lot of grads out of work because so many of them trained to become teachers.

It is a limitation on the CDMA. Even CDMA phones are not interchangeable due to the radio frequencies that are being used by Verizon vs Sprint. Hence no taking your Galaxy S2 you got on sprint and using it on Verizon. They cannot accept a unlocked GSM phone because it is incompatible with their networks.

Until an idiot plumber on the floor above you swings his braising torch too close to a fire sprinkler, and thousands of gallons of water find the crack between the floors and pours straight down upon your SAN cabinets. (Yes, that actually happened to us...)

Not an issue since were on the top floor.....(but I get your point). FWIW, our tapes are stored in a safe which is in a safe.

I'm a SAIC employee and I manage the servers in our office. Corporate policies are that backups are to never leave the server room, much less the office. This policy was put into place a few years ago (along with desktop encryption) after some 401k data was taken from a stolen HR computer.

Look at the details though. Verizons business is separated into different operating units. The mobile operations unit (which is basically all non-union) generates the profit. The land-line unit (where all the union members are) has been losing customers and therefore shrinking, hence it doesnt make much money at all (if any).
