    Draw a cartoon about Islam and you must die for it

    Sad. My hope of having a West leaning elected or goverment has just died. I dont think I would even vote for such a govt. Muslims hold somethings above all the other, respect for Prophet is at the top. Making fun of Prophet is not going to open a debate about freedom of speech, its only going to...

    shuttle temp question

    It may be a good idea to check, if the CPU heat sink is seated properly (specially if its a new system). I had a similar problem and I fixed it by reaeating the heat sink.

    Google Agrees to Censor Results in China

    Limited google in China is better than no google at all. I visited China in December to attend a research conference, and was shocked to see the progress thay have made. They are headed in the right direction but at a pace slower than I like. Drastic changes usually result in drastic consequences.

    Is the College Degree watered down?

    Link Management & HR usually get more salary than Technical staff. My hair dresser pulls over 100k so going to school and getting a degree does not make too much sense anymore. Here is good link to see salaries for recent graduate Text

    Is the College Degree watered down?

    With this degree you will be making more than Engineers and CS majors. After my MS in CS, my starting salary was considerably less then MIS or BIS majors.

    17 year old Iranian girl sentenced to death by hanging...

    Just visit a University yourself, Science and Technology in US was flourishing because of Indian and Chinese students and faculty. Just go to IEEE Explore and look for yourself how much of the current research is being done by them. US was a leader but with funding cuts and fewer foreigners...

    17 year old Iranian girl sentenced to death by hanging...

    I know that Americans are bad in Math and science but I am starting to beleive that they have no clue about the world affairs either. If anyone ever tries to use any of the references given in P&N threads in their paper or report will get a zero. What O Reilly, Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, or Tom...

    Officials: Zawahri Still Alive, Was Not There During Attack

    You can dream on India fanboy (stop pretending that you are not Indian). Who went to UN crying in 1948 when Pakistan took over 3/4 of the Kashmir (later moved back to current Linr of Control)? Who went to UN crying in 1965 for a cease fire? Check UN resolution. India does one thing really well...

    17 year old Iranian girl sentenced to death by hanging...

    I do not beleive this story because the chances of 17 year old causing serious injury to 3 grown men are slim to none. West's obsession of making Iran or Pakistan look bad is becomming madness now. These news/stories remind of the tales the tour operators tell to tourists about old castles in...

    Is this real - Pakistani Tribal Punishments - "four members of the council took turns raping the 18-year-old sister"

    Yeah right, in India they instead do this.Link (like its gonna make a difference but anyway) Indian Government statistics show that husbands and in-laws killed nearly 7,000 women in 2001 over inadequate dowry payments. Rape, murder, theft, bribery all are crimes in every country. The...

    Will Pakistans government fall to muslim extremists?

    Being against Musharraf does not mean that most Pakistanis support these extremists. Personnally I think Musharraf is no better or worse than any of the democratic or undemocratic governments Pakistan had. Religious parties are not the dominant force in Pakistan but they are the most vocal...

    Officials: Zawahri Still Alive, Was Not There During Attack

    Pakistani troops can capture him only if he was actually there. If it was not for India Russia would have fell long ago. Did India offered US any help when Russia was invading Afghanistan? No, they made trade pacts with Russia, bought military equipment from them. They are siding with US now...

    What if we bombed in a country without permission and killed civilians .. would it be acceptable for that country to do

    It apppears that if a country has a democratically elected goverment, everything is a fair game such as torture, imprisonment, spying, invading countries, dropping bombs in other countries,...... But if dictators do it, all hel breaks lose.

    Major U.S. attack may have killed Zawahri

    I think he is one of 60+% Americans who still beleive 9/11 was carried out by Iraq or may be Iraq was behind Oklahoma City bombing.

    Major U.S. attack may have killed Zawahri

    Loss of "any" innocent life cannot be mitigated by taking life of other innocents. 9/11 is being used to justify any non-american loss of life. It is very important that we make sure that 9/11 does not happen again but but in the process I cannot support creation 1/14. (for the families in...

    Major U.S. attack may have killed Zawahri

    30,000+ (A number from Bush, i do not beleive it) innocent Iraqis are 3,000 * 10. And no one is keeping track of Afghans Its about time or a bit late to start addressing the terrorism issue rather than justifying certain number of deaths are necessary because of 9/11.

    Major U.S. attack may have killed Zawahri

    Sad sad sad. It appears that it does not matter how much Pakistan cooperates with US, US + quite a few in this forum do not give a crap about its people. Quite a few in this forum believe that Pakistan does not give enough access to US to bomb or catch al-quida in Pakistan, they need to think...

    not trying to start a flame war.. How many Arabs were displaced when Britain created Israel

    First of all, I have seen quite a few mad red-necks. Secondly, snipers can't shoot at what they can't see. An electromagnetic wave can paralyze the whole salt lake city now. Those days when the armies faced each other before war are long gone. As for the OP, no one will ever know how many of...

    [OFFICIALLY DEAD] - Official Dell Outlet Thread

    Its been going on since last week. I usually have to wait few hours before I can load the page. My guess is that Dell has limited the number of session cookies it assigns, so you might have to wait until someones session expires.

    [OFFICIALLY DEAD] - Official Dell Outlet Thread

    Not really. Lets see if can explain it. Each PC is a record (a row in the database). Most people are looking for the cheapest PC, they see a system and hit the add_to_Cart button almost at the same time (may be difference of few milli or micro seconds). The Dell database must lock the record...
