Except the catch there is that it seems preachy for the US and other nations that trashed the environment 100 years ago and are now living luxurious (by contrast) lives to tell other nations NOT to do the same thing because now they care about the environment.

no, it's not blocked. CNN is news, Gizmodo is, well I'm not too sure anymore; but China doesn't care about it.

whoo-hoo I live in Tianjin! And yeah it is that nasty. A few days ago things were so bad I couldn't see the top of my 18 story apartment building.

We're a 1:1 laptop school from 6th-12th grade - all MacBook, and Apple came to us last year and wanted us to go 1:1 iPads in the elementary (K-5). We did a 30 day pilot in a 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade class and came away disappointed.

number 3 drives me up a farking wall. I enter a bunch of calendar events on iCal and fill in the information and then some hours later (after a "sync") all I'm left with is the events that say "Untitled Event" and have no details.

It doesn't start for another week true but there have been increasing amounts of fireworks on a nightly basis for the last few days in my apartment complex, and I just saw the first fireworks stands opened up yesterday

When I was a kid it was Donatello and Tomb Raider, enough said.

it's like the government here (China) doesn't give a piss what a foreign company wants, they're not going to help. So if a foreign company wants to come in and navigate their way through the nightmare of a legal system to sue some nobody game developer and get a handful of dollars it's entirely up to them.

also needs a 吗 (ma)

"No I didn't."

just use google voice to call your cell phone and excuse yourself from the meeting "briefly" saying it's a client or something... sheesh.

"Well done and juicy to boot"? um well done is what you get when you cook all the juices out of the steak.

that urge came for me when they would ask for a bottle of ketchup and a glass of water with lemon. That's some fine dining there!

This gets me excited - and I just saw them setting up the fireworks stands for Chinese New Year on the way home today.

Chinese/Russian border during Chinese New Year?

that's the way it is here in Mainland China too - you can only work for the company that provides you your Z-Visa (work visa)

but then so does a starcraft tournament.

my guess is 15 consecutive days - we currently are having a school campus built, and it's taking only 1 month (should be done Tuesday). Granted the school is much smaller than this hotel but so is our construction crew, but we still have 350-400 construction workers working 24 hours a day from like 9 different

12% is their total market penetration - but only like 3% of that is "unique" market share, meaning that 97% of the people with a Mac also have a PC. So like .3% Mac only.

the value after the destruction was probably about 0. :P
