    You'd probably reconsider your stance after seeing Chinese factory workers' conditions. I'm pleased to tell you it works exactly the opposite way of how you describe. You really wouldn't want Chinese authoritarian «communist-capitalism» applied to American manufacturing plants. Rather...

    Dyslexic typgin

    Sounds like it has more to do with typing technique than dyslexia? Maybe a touch typing course will do wonders ;)

    Background: Israel «Apartheid» Boycott Thwarted by Norwegian Government

    Personally and subjectively, I don't find «apartheid» to be descriptive for Israeli policy. «Apartheid» is an Afrikaans word used by previous South African governments. The State of Israel does not have a term for its discrimination. «Apartheid» belongs to South Africa and, in my view, is not...

    SET password = PASSWORD(password) sets the password to be an encrypted hash of the whole password column, which is probably not what you want. SET password = PASSWORD('$password') sets the password to the PHP string $password. Is the password column long enough to store the encrypted...

    Seagate releases new HD technology

    Therefore. The iPod is small, too small to fit that kind of thing. You could make a 500 GB iPod if you were willing to carry it in its own bag with an additional battery. Are you kidding? I definitely need it to be photo quality, id est 9600 dpi. Until then, computer displays are a joke :D
