"1 in 5 kids online is sexually solicited. Online predators know what they're doing. Do you?" read the public service ads that began running Monday. I hate to post just quotes, but in this case the story says it all. "Some 22 percent of users are registered as under 18, according to MySpace. The site forbids minors 13 and under from joini
Define "successful" Adamness. Microsoft lost $1 billion in the first year of the X-Box. For both companies, hardware is the loss-leader that sells software and content. Read their financials. Apple is defining itself as a digital media provider. It is no accident that Steve Jobs now sits on the board of Disney. He knows where the money is.

Great article, thanks for the post. On the other hand....isn't it reasonable to assume that China's rising economy will create an expectation among its people that the wealth must be shared? Was Tiananmen Square of 1989 an isolated event? Won't there be a movement toward democratization and individual rights?
Thank you both for commenting. Actually, Dr. Guy, unilateral initiatives like Gaza seem to undermine the peace process. Palestine HAD a government that was looking to negotiate. By refusing to negotiate with them, the Sharon government (Likud remember, not Kadima) sent a message that Abbas was powerless, ineffective. That may have helped the Hamas victory. I'll blog more on that at a later date, but hopefully Kadima will be the new power that
Based on exit polls, Israel's newest party, the centrist Kadima party, is projected to win the largest number of seats in the Israeli Parliament. This will mark the first time since the 1970's that the Likud Party will not be the dominant force in Israeli politics. Kadima was formed by Ariel Sharon before his debilitating stroke left him in a coma. Sharon lef
Actually, I think that the often cited (by churches and religious leaders) poll was an ARIS poll conducted in 1990 and the follow up poll in 2001 is almost never cited. In 1990, 86% said they were religious. (You made a typo when you said 81%.) Eleven years later, that number had declined to under 77%. Thats a pretty significent decline of over 10%. In 1990, 81% said that they were Christain (although not necessarily affiliated with a
The Hillary Clinton remark was alleged in Jerry Oppenheimer's book "State of a Union." Link Link for a review. Sherwood Boehlert, retiring Representative from upstate New York, is considered among the last of the Liberal Republicans. There is an interesting book about the demise of the Liberal wing of the Republican party called "The Party That Lost Its Head" by Gilder and C
Actually, BakerStreet, the Danish newspaper editor WAS arrested and then released because of political pressure. However...you missed part of my post. "There is no evidence presented that Bishop Samuel even had anything to do with the book." According to statements made by the Indian government "The book had been published with the connivance of the Emmanuel Mission Society," of which Bishop Samuel is a leader. The book was actually written by M G Mathews for Truth and Life Publications. <BR
Thank you all. BakerStreet, your email meant a lot to me.
Thank you all. I am, as most of you know, a private person. I posted this on JU because this community means a lot to me and for the support that I knew that I would receive.
Just after 9:30 PM this evening my father, Abraham Kuperman, died. He is survived by three children, his daughter Marilyn and sons Gil and Larry, eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. My mother proceeded him in death. He was 97 years old. He touched the lives of many people with his warmth and humor and will be missed. Abraham was born in 1908, i
"We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace. We know that oppressive governments support terror, while free governments fight the terrorists in their midst. We know that free peoples embrace progress and life, instead of becoming the recruits for murderous ideologies." -George W. Bush, Speec
A good article, thanks for bringing this up. If anyone wants to learn about the book that was the "cause" of the arrest, look under "Hakikat" not "Haqeeqat." Same pronunciation, I would guess, but the later is a film with a different subject. India is a primitive theocracy, not any better than Iran, in my opinion. The book in question is being used as an excuse to arrest and harass Christian leaders in that country. There is no ev
Thanks sweetasman01 and spwolfx for your helpful answers. DirectSkin from Stardock is the most popular engine for adding skinning technology to an application and is used by software developers. It is used by some of the biggest companies in the world, including ATI's Catalyst Control Center, Reuters, BellSouth, General Electric and more. But you have to be a programmer to use it. But because it is based on WindowBlinds technolog
BakerStreet offers a postulate that "Gay "marriage" will just make it more of a joke." Any support? Are gay marriages more or less stable than hetero marriages? Are the adopted children of gay marriages better or worse off than before adoption? Saying that gay marriage is an example of "forcing states to bow to the Federal will" is also misleading. There are cases of states recognizing gay marriage and the Federal government fighting it. <
Uh... I can't resist the semantics battle. It should be "This sentence doesn't seem to JIBE with my definition of "exclusively"" not JIVE. Jibe: To be in accord; agree. Jive: Slang. To talk nonsense; kid. or To play or dance to jive music.
I've been using Wire and Glass by PaulEric, really quite extraordinary. It was upped on 3/1/06...maybe it will make the March roundup.
Oy a bruch! I would like all to know that I am offering ritual circumcisions at bargain prices. Cut rate, you might say! MM, did you ever see my blog "Jews are cheap! (Better get two.)" at Link You might get a kick out of it.
Exodus 22:18 "Thou shall not suffer a witch to live. " Leviticus 20:27 "A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them." I could go on and on. There is the killing of the Israelites by the Levites after the Golden Calf, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.... There is plenty of hate to go round. On
cal0140, have you ever read Google's motto? I don't want to be accused of taking this out of context, so please see the link at the end of this comment: "Our informal corporate motto is "Don't be evil." We Googlers generally relate those words to the way we serve our users – as well we should. But being "a different kind of company" means more than the products we make and the business we're building; it means making sure that our core values inform our conduct in all aspects of our liv
little_whip gets an insightful. COL Gene, I almost never comment on your remarks, but might I suggest to you that you examine your presentation skills? You phrase things in a demeaning, argumentative style that shows little respect for others. If your positions are as well-thought out and accurate as you think they are and yet you still receive "insulting and demeaning comments from bloggers on JoeUser" then logic dictates that it mus
To further complicate things, companies that use one method are allowed one inventory conversion during the life of the company...sort of a "get out of jail" free card. However, granting that no method is 100% accurate, why shouldn't a company be allowed to select as long as they hold to a consistent method thereafter? If a company is in a high-volume business, high turnover of inventory, then LIFO is the more accurate. For a company as descri
Elempoimen, you raise an interesting point, but what makes you think that the New Testament was written in the First Century? The oldest version found, the Codex Vaticanus, was written in the 4th Century, about the same time as the Codex Sinaiticus. The New Testament references the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans, which was in 72 AD. The first reference to a written version of the version of the life of Christ dates to 150 and may well have been incomp
First of all, props to Tirasus for an open mind. Good to see. For those that are having problems, two things: Are you running SP2? Silly question, but people often fail to read the documentation. What are your security settings set at? I use Custom Level. DesignCaddy, good to see you, I had no problems whatsoever with the Reuters site. Check that and try again.
