Britain is the one who made Kuwait into a separate entity. The area that is now Kuwait has always been a part of the nation/kingdom/empire that controlled Babylon (modern Iraq) throughout history. The province of Kuwait was created by Great Britain as a foothold in the region when they were...
Maybe Bill Gates is "stepping down from day to day operations at Microsoft" just in time to start an election campaign...just kidding.
I think Feingold is going to try to run for the Dems, but he is not listed in the poll.
The candidates who will make it on the ticket are probably not any...
I got 95%.
I didn't study at all...but I did help my wife study for her test last year. I also have a degree in Business and Public Policy so I am embarassed to say that I wasn't sure which ammendment did not guarantee voting rights (and I guessed wrong). The thing that my wife kept...
I live on an island that is hit by more Typhoons (hurricates to those of you in the Weatern hemisphere) than any other on the planet...and last year we had ZERO hit us. Where is the increase you speak of???
The main difference that I see is that Nixon was wire tapping Americans talking to Americans while the NSA (under directions from Bush) was turning on the second half the conversation between foreign terrorists and their contacts in the US. It was already perfectly okay by law for the NSA to...
This would be good for small business owners in cities with multicasting. With more local channels competing for local advertising dollars, the cost for commercial time should go down (or at least not go up as fast). Multicasting would also increase the diversity of programming which would...

Al Qaida claims that Turki bin Fheid al-Muteiri (who was killed during a terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia in 2004) was supposed to be the 20th hijacker. Osama bin Laden said Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted in a U.S. court for the Sept. 11 attacks, had nothing to do with...
The CIA Factbook has information about all recognized countries in the world.
Here is the rank order by land area.
Here is the rank order by population.
Holy See (Vatican City) is near the bottom of both lists.
The temperature has a lot to do with it. Coffee grows well in an equatorial climate. It just so happens that most of the contries with the proper climate are third-world cuntries.
I will never buy anything from Dell ever again. They lost my business forever thanks to the worst customer service experience that I ever had. I spoke to ten different representatives in (at least) four different departments over the course of two days trying to figure out how they messed up...
What type of job are you looking for? You list both security and telecommunications experience on your resume.
I agree with the previous recommendations to change the education. I would move education to the end of the resume and just list it as 57 credit hours in higher level education. I...
I think Ann Coulter is a Liberal who spouts Conservative rheoteric to piss off moderates. She states a biased opinion in a way that is offensive to most people to incite a reaction. Part of it is to sell books and make money, but it also serves to underline the flaws in the very point of view...
Mainland Japan (meaning the big island) has one of the (if not the single) largest suicide rates in the world and guns are banned completely.
Edit: aren't most deaths unnecessary?
Okinawa Cable Network
Advertises 30 MBps for 4,200 yen (about $38) per month.
I used each server three times and posted the best speed.
Average was about 300k up and 800k down.
Seattle 595 dn 2072 up
San Fran 326 dn 1404 up
Los Angeles 649 dn 2180 up...
What a tragedy. Crime is horrible in many American cities. That is one of the reasons why it is difficult to convince my wife to move back to the States.
I think that Wes Clark could have run as an independent in 2004. Picture this...
Bush says to Kerry: "I am a wartime leader who can win the War on Terror."
Kerry says to Bush: "I'm a war hero with military experience."
Clark just smiles and realizes that both are losing the argument...
If they want to get rid of some helecopters they can start with the ones that fly over my house from Futenma MCAS. They are constantly waking me up or scaring my son.
Actually, before moving to Japan I lived in Milwaukee. There were three Korean drycleaners within a mile of the store that I ran. I am not so ignorant to think that this is a theme that is uniform accross the nation, I was merely building on your sarcasm.
Enough with the sarcasm and back on topic.
The fact that this guy was given money in a time of need does not make him dispickable. What makes him a sack of human garbage is the attitude that after living it up for months in a free hotel and pissing all his money away he is somehow entitled...
If you're going to spout racial stereotypes at least get them right. The Koreans run all the dry cleaners.
edit: Maybe he can get off the phone with an Indian call center, hail a cab with an Arab driver, Spit on the black guy begging for money on the curb, and walk past the Mexican mowing...
I think it is like this everywhere. People like to remember the good things and forget the bad things. Here in Japan they don't teach WWII history the same way that it is taught in the States. In Germany they don't mention Hitler or the Nazi party. In America we tend to gloss over Hiroshima...
