GoodDonkey,
Bill Gates didn't bail out Apple!!! Apple sued Billy-boy for stealing Apple's GUI, which Apple paid MS for developing. The real thief is Gates! Apple laid out a clear & concise Gui which MS thought was a great idea. I believe MS paid $150,000,000 or so under pretense that it was for development. MS also threatened that it would immediately cease development for Word for Mac if Apple won it's case. No more lies!!

Wow, they've been watching you PC users!
Jeff Lee,
Not so fast! Mac's can run Mac OSX, Windows, Linux, Unix... Also, most mid to large co's use a mix of different servers so that "PC" viruses don't jump from PC to Mac or Unix. I've used NT, Unix & Mac servers. Makes sense huh? Many large co's use Unix or Linus. Mac OS X is a fully certified UNIX operating system. Windows just has a large user base who can't shake Microsoft.
Macs use the same parts as PCs!!! Same Intel chip (for a long time now). Same hard drives, etc.

When people say there is too much violence on TV, the other side says, "censor yourself if you don't like it." SezWho says, "no, you should watch it even if you don't like it."
Why should anyone listen to Ahmadinejad's drivel if he doesn't want to. Self-censorship shows self-restraint at its highest level. This is the same reason why I think Nazis are garbage and Mother Teresa was a saint (small 's' even though I'm not Catholic). I'd walk out of a movie if I thought it sucked. Why should I watch the credits rolling when I disliked it from the beginning?!

A politician should know the protocols of being on the world stage. U.N. Sec-Gen Ban shouldn't have to warn Ahmadinejad. Brinksmanship should not be in the equation during an international forum – he is after all using fighting words.
Inflammatory remarks that he knows will stir the crowd? Come on. He's gotta be stupid forgetful how the world is tired of his same speeches. You tell the same joke too often and no one will laugh, let alone invite you to the next party. Well, he said the same old rhetoric too many times and people rolled their eyes and walked out. It won't be long before he falls out of favour in Iran... and find him back selling kabobs in Tehran.
Listening costs nothing... but you also learn nothing in this case!

Unfortunately hiking up insurance to include military escorts would mean everybody paying through their nose for cheap overseas-made consumer products. The insurers would be profiling countries/companies, underwriting... prices go up and then there's unfair trading practices... which would benefit home-based manufacturing (which is not a bad thing). In terms of economics... it's all messed up, so leave well enough alone.
International militaries need to form a cellular network (like a grid) to be able to cover such a large area. This may mean a considerable number of ships that track the pirates as well as each other and legitimate commercial vessels. Have each military ship tag these pirates as soon as they see them surface as being suspicious. Think of it as Interpol on the high seas. Who would pay? The countries that do the most trading. Wouldn't it be of the utmost importance in national security to defend their own ships by paying into the network?

This is no wonder the kids in Japan don't respect teachers and other authority figures. Ever since the Japanese found out the emperor wasn't a god, they went on a downward spiral.

The 11 should be harshly reprimanded. Totally not funny to add even harmless additives to anybody's food. Knowing that they even touched the food that the teacher consumed is inexcusable.
The dumb kids thought it was funny that they "help" abort the unborn child. Wow! These are the same kids sniffing panties in Akihabara in a few years.
Japan! Have balls and reform your kids! Isn't there a sinking island you can dump social rejects?

No country in Asia wants to see Japan, militarily, as a "mighty force." Japan had effectively alienated itself in Asia at the turn of the last century because of it.
Heck, let's all just proliferate arms and blow each other out of the water.

LostinNagoya,
What will NK winning do anything for the starving children. It just says, "we beat up the capitalists and NK is superior." There will be no less starving children or people poo-kicked into worshipping Kim Jung-Il.

Most of you may not know that during the annexation of Korea by Japan, the north suffered much more at the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army. The southern kingdoms of Korea (Paekche & Kaya) historically have had alliances with Japan during the Three Kingdoms period of Korean history. NK has an innate hatred for Japan and the west.
South Korea has problems with Japan because Japan has still not fully accepted blame for the invasions in asia and the participation of WWII – Japan still believes it was trying to help unite Asia (with weapons and killing). It's no wonder that NK wants to pull Japan into a crisis situation. The only allies Japan would have in a war situation is the US and Europe. South Korea still sees the north as it's own people, albeit, run by a crazy tyrant. The South would be in a predicament if war started – brothers killing brothers, again.
Hope for an assassination from within NK... this will solve a huge problem for S.Korea, Japan, China & the west. It would take another 30 to 50 years for normalization before re-unification could begin. Remember the two Germanies during re-unification? Maybe re-unification of the two Koreas is not such a great idea, especially for Japan since the united Korea would have the LARGEST army in the world in numbers! Karma? I hope not.
However, Japan & South Korea need to keep one eye open during this missile launch... for sure if NK launches its rockets, there will be debris in their territories for sure.

How 'bout a built-in fridge with a beer pump. Leave the housework for the girlfriend – those big clumsy hands would do more damage than clean.

saborichan,
Actually, I believe the robot inventor is Vietnamese Canadian. He called the robot Aiko. Japanese name but the Ai probably stands for artificial intelligence. Great name... why didn't the Japanese think of that?
