Russian = oligarchs, US = billonaires. Why this silly bias in articles written to (presumably) intelligent public?

Well... I'm a psychiatrist and I can tell you that THAT'S what I call denial By the way I'm from Uruguay (can you find it on the map?). "Chinese operative" made me laugh! "Bugger the hell off" :-D Google "denial"

I'm always surprised by the level of denial (mainly in US citizens) when anything related to China's technology. It reminds me the Fox and the Grapes fable. And always downplaying Chinese advances with the argument of "Human Rights" as if US isn't responsible for massive violations of HR. Or the argument of "they copy" (remember US and the project Paperclip?) I don't think denial is the best approach.

Someone read Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy.

First thing I thought (as a Psychiatrist)

Typo: "country". By the way. If I don't understand English, how I am writing this? Do you speak spanish?

No. You don't understand the rest of the world. I said I'm American. Get your contry a proper name! (Or at least don't try to use a generic name that belongs to all of us).

Perhaps you mean United States of America. You now, I'm American (from South America) and I have nothing to do with these guys. I also have other american friends (from central an north America) who are not from the USA. Stop using our continent as a country name, please. PS: although we also must get a grip on ourselves. :-D

I thik it's NorthrOp not NorthrUp.

As a Psychiatrist and long-time Slashdot reader I feel really disappointed reading the reactions of people whose oppinion in technical matters I respect a lot. But after > 20 years of "in-the-trench" psychiatry (public and private settings) I've seen (BY FAR) more good than harm as consequence of our practice. I can say I helped a number of people, lots of them using SSRI. We are aware of the industry and its tactics, and the wax-and-wane of science. But most of my colleagues act in good faith following procedures tested in our gold-standard double blind placebo-controlled trials. Medicine CAN do harm sometimes, that's not new. But when you add all up, there's a net benefit. Just my 0.02

One example (among many): you can tweak every aspect of the "look" and "feel" (icons, fonts, etc) AND save it as a "Theme" you can load anytime. You can do this *without* a third party application. It's an "out-of-the-box" feature.

I'm from Uruguay. Never heard of Uruguay Syndrom. If it exists it must be related to happy stress-free life or something like that. We are all happy hobbits here.

Please stop repeating something like it is new. Since its origins the concept is called "the schizophrenias". We knew that 100 years before now: http://schizophreniabulletin.o...
