What level of military interventions should the US take in the Republic of Congo?
And to look at it in a slightly different way ...
Would it have helped the United States to have some country intervene and determine the outcome in our civil war?

I ordered a 20" iMac a couple of weeks ago, but it hadn't been dispatched yet (in fact, it was due to be dispatched today). The Apple order status site was down earlier, until just after the Apple Store came back up with the new iMacs, and lo and behold, my order has been replaced with a 20" iMac Core 2 Duo!
They've even upgraded the RAM to 2GB (I'd paid for an upgrade to 1GB on the original order), and dropped the price I pay!
So top marks to Apple - a brand new iMac, specced higher than the original, for �80 less! I don't know many other manufacturers that would do this - it's the kind of service that keeps Apple customers loyal.
The only downside is, I was expecting it to be delivered on Friday but now I have to wait until the 19th! But really, I don't mind!

Now Obama's actions are even worse than Bush's.
So farfetched. May I remind you of a little matter called a Security Council resolution at the instigation of the Arab League? Bush and the neo-cons have no regard for international law.
To suggest that President Obama represents some new nadir in presidential overreach is pure baloney.
Check out all US military engagements since the 1940s. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_military_operations) None of them with congressional approval. You can argue that these many dozens, including Vietnam, all represent unconstitutional actions... but you can't argue that Obama represents some kind of new and dangerous deviation from the history of the last 70 years.

To all those cutting military by huge percentages, what are your plans to deal with the millions of unemployed that would produce?
To be fair, if we would make the significant cuts to balance the budget, there would be huge amounts of layoffs regardless. So we might as well destroy the jobs that don't produce long-term benefits for the country, than cutting education jobs and funding (as an example) that would definitely hurt us in the long-term.
Cuts aren't fun. :(

To be honest, I'd rather get better colours, better black and all that. An AMOLED display on an iPad would absolutely amazing (AMOLED Retina would be even better).
Also, in terms of the Bluray is dead. Possible only in the US, because the content providers won't allow other countries to stream anything at a decent price, and what we do get (for a ridiculous price) is a terrible quality video. Honestly, they look like the old DivX and XVid video's from the dial-up era. The so called "HD" from content providers such as Apple, Amazon, and Netflix wouldn't be anywhere near bluray quality, unless the files were at around 7GB per hour (13500kbps).

Come on guys, all of you saying the Vista is for $99, remember... that is the "upgrade" not the full install. where as osx is a complete full install. plus vista is suppose to be coming in 6 different version, i read something about that at here (http://www.theinquirer.net).
That is also a misleading statement.
Apple doesn't offer upgrades to OS X. Windows does! Most people don't need a complete new install. Most people already have XP.
The only time a full version is needed is when a new computer is purchased and then the price for Vista is completely different because of the OEM pricing by the vendor.
Also just because you have the upgrade version doesn't mean you can't do a clean full install. In most cases Windows in the past only required that a previous version be present or that a legal original install cd was present. It performs the check and then does a full install.

I think the main thing that discourages people from buying a ZUNE is the Zune...
anyway if this Beatles thing works with Apple, it will most likely be a limited time excklusivity 6 months to one year tops and then open to other online sellers.
Yes. Apple could give away The Beatles songs (i.e. take no money themselves) and STILL win because every Beatles song sold via iTunes is a song that (a) isn't sold from another store, thus depriving others from that revenue and (b) isn't usable on other players, without a process that is too involved for Joe Public.
Not to mention the HUGE optics of getting The Beatles who, like it or not, are the biggest act in pop music history. Even if the exclusivity contract was 1 year, that takes the wind out of others sails (pun intended), and provides the public a year to stock their playlists with Apple-branded Beatles tunes, after which the momentum is gone and sales via other online outlets is minimal.
This would be a BIG win for Apple.

If you still think that buying that set on iTunes is the better value then that's fine. To me it just doesn't compare.

As I say, I agree with many of your points.

You're in Canada? And you don't support the United States cutting back? Would you like anything else? May I bring you a comfy pillow to prop your feet upon, and a little something from Tim Horton's?
My point was, how 'bout if the USA reduces its military spending to $1 less than the Canadian military budget? Then the Canucks are the badasses, and we Yanks fall in line with the rest of the world. Everybody's happy.
you can judge me all you want ... my family is both Canadian and American.
I live on both sides of the border.
sorry if I do not support everyone's Anti-American Military views.
Cutting the Military is not for me ... Even though I would have to pay higher taxes, I'd rather scrap all these Government Casinos and Government Bookies we have up in Canada than reduce even one dollar in Military spending.

Well, I certainly have a "problem" with the notion that a publicly funded military needs to be maintained in order to protect privately owned enterprises, who by their own free will have set up operations in foreign countries, often at the expense of American jobs.
Amen.
And no matter how mighty our military, it seems irrelevant when the commercial interests are in stable, sovereign nations. In unstable nations, we really have no business injecting our military on account of this notion, unless part of a larger peacekeeping force.*
*Please note that I am suggesting that the peacekeeping force should require our participation as an equal member of a team - the peacekeeping force should not be an afterthought solely used for validating an American military action.

A child does not naturally grow up to be socially responsible or kind. They naturally grow up to be self-centered and violent unless a parent or authority teaches them otherwise.
As negative as I think religion can be, it has set a code of conduct for people that enables cooperation and empathy for others.
Sorry, that is utter crap. My best friend in grade school was raised completely without religion, and he is the nicest person in the world. Meanwhile, there are copious and abundant examples of self-centered, amoral, greedy bastards preaching jesus to the masses: if religion cannot help them, what value is it?

it was a rhetorical question is response to MacFly123 and Knightlie's arguments that apple only follows open standards, which still allow them to create a media rich website using only open standards, that QuickTime is not.
on a lighter note: this is one of my fav flash sites (http://www.onemotion.com/flash/spider/). as you can tell, it's built only with HTML, javascript and CSS :p
I never claimed QuickTime was open. I simply stated that Apple can very ably develop a huge robust website WITHOUT FLASH!
No, QuickTime is not open, but Apple heavily invests in pushing open standards online as well as in a lot of their products!

This just proves how idiotic humanity is. These songs have been available in multiple formats for over 40 years, but only now, since they are offered in a lossy digital file, do people buy them.
yes!
because EVERYONE has custom IEMs and pro level studio monitors hooked up to their professional amps in their phones, cars, gym headphones....jk no they don't.
Protip: Some people just wanna listen to the music. They don't care about the nuances removed by going to MP3 or an otherwise lossy format because their equipment is probably less than adequate to accentuate the difference anyway.

not really. If I like Pink Floyd, I like Pink Floyd...not the Beatles.
Saying I like Apples doesn't = I like oranges...though both are fruit.
I get the point of what txa1265 was saying.. lots of these bands like Pink Floyd and Led Zep were either influenced or used the rock beats that the Beatles created/expanded upon.
A better group comparison would be Black Sabbath, who were totally inspired by the Beatles. Simply playing both bands' songs side by side isn't how to compare, but more on a deeper musical level. The underlying parts.
Given all that, I know many people that don't like the Beatles but like other bands that may/may not have been directly influenced by them.

Quick question guys, I've been using a pc for many years and I've decided to get a MBP for college. I'll be doing some heavy photo and video editing, gaming and movie watching. I was looking at the 2.66 ghz 15" MBP, is that a good way to go, or do you think I need more power?
I have plenty of time to wait for the new refresh, I won't really need it until July. Any suggestions?
I'd say if you can wait, wait. You'll be able to take advantage of educational pricing from Apple which will help in terms of cost of the new models.
I have an older 2007 2.4GHz Santa Rosa that I run Aperture 3 on and while it's not completely fluid, it handles my 21MB, 15MP RAW files pretty well. I think the 2.66 would probably serve you well if you needed to buy right now, but if you have time there's really no reason not to wait.
