Speaking of volunteers, if you don't want to give money, why not donate time? That way you control what happens with your donation.

(how about tax deductions compelling people to give more and keep track of what do give? not much of that anywhere but in the U.S.),
Not true. In Netherland (where the government gives more to foreign aid than the internationally agreed 0.8% of GDP (most western countries give a less), donations are fully tax deductible. There's less need here to help your neighbour with his medical expenses, but people here give a lot to human rights and environmental organisations (Amnesty and Greenpeace are among the largest).
as per RFCs 1001 and 1002 for TCP/IP and somewhere else for IPX (IPX packet type 20 IIRC). However, if you ran it over "NetBEUI" or NetBIOS Extended User Interface, rather than IPX or TCP/IP, NetBIOS was running directly over 802.2/LLC i.e. no layer 3 protocol in there, so no routing. I think Microsoft removed this option a number of years ago, which is a shame, because that was a way of ensuring that there was no chance your NetBIOS file and print shares were accessible over the Internet.
Which version of Snow Leopard does all of that?
I've found it to be pretty good so far, on both my Mac and my wife's.
I've not heard of this other stuff. It sounds a little made-up, or at least cherry-picked.
I think that people who work harder and contribute more should be taxed less and that people who work less and contribute less should be taxed more as an incentive to increase our society's productivity.
But hey, go ahead with your snarky comments.
It's unfair to tar one billion people because of the words of one angry individual.
Mental illness runs in the family and affects economic status. So poor parents pass on their mentally ill genes to their kids thus their kids are more likely to be mentally ill and on some kind of treatment. My own personal experience registers this is as true. I see a lot of emotional problems, especially mood instability, with poorer people. I wouldnt be surprised if this was a chicken and egg problem explained without the "OMG BIG GOVERNMENT/CAPITALIST CONSPIRACY" angle slashdot tends to sell.
I currently have cookies enabled for mail.google.com, but not for google.com. Gmail has worked fine since I made this change, and Google search at least acts like I am not logged in (but they could still correlate ip addresses and so forth, my goal is to be aware of who is tracking things as much as it is to prevent it).
That's because we are a civilized nation - we don't believe we are the only people in the world who deserve these rights, we believe everyboy does. That's why we tend to get sucked into fights to preserve democracy and such, though our track record lately is only so-so.
So yeah it sucks that he gets to enjoy our freedoms, but it's the right thing to do.
How is this bigot not modded troll/flamebait?
To turn a blind eye to murder due to the victims ideology, race, or religion is reprehensible.
Imagine the year is 1941:
A few attacks on individuals, especially those who hail from an enemy culture and religion , are not nearly enough to bother with invading Germany. Real Americans aren't Jews and don't care what happens to them any more than we'd care if some thoughtful soul was murdering Japs.
Does the above seem any different?
