They support what I'm saying. Only 1.8% of people that contracted Aids did so through normal heterosexual contact.

In the US, AIDS is almost entirely confined to people that are either gay, or needle drug users.

This is the way most businesses operate. In reality, businesses often have to spend their way out of losses with innovative R&D and marketing. The fact that credit exists smooths out the ups and downs in revenues is a good thing. My c

It's a shame that government spending is decoupled from tax collection. By requiring employers to withhold and make estimated tax payments for employees, employees are unable to quantify the magnitude of taxes. If the average family in th

I'm a developer. I have a simple app in the app store, and I spent time porting it to Titanium so that I could add features faster by using Javascript. I also have two simple internal apps that my sales people use that I was going to port

Many businesses aren't funded by banks. They're bootstrapped the entire way. It's not uncommon for a business to lose money for the first few years, it's actually the norm. According to the US SBA, 50% of new businesses fail in the first

If they can't afford Android+iPhone portability, most of them will choose iPhone-only over Android-only. I'd agree with you, except for one thing. I developed an enhanced version of my app for Titanium with many new features. The idea w

Objective-C is inefficient to develop in. I ported my app from Objective-C to Titanium, and there was no loss in speed or functionality, only wasted developer time. I am reasonably sure I can write comparable javascript ten times faster t

Stuff like this is probably why they didn't. You only have to piss off a couple of the right developers and the next big thing ends up with your competition.

That amounts to little more than intellectual masturbation at this point. Not going there isn't an option, we are there. Even Hillary Clinton and John Edwards voted for it. The decision to go into Iraq was truly bipartisan.

What about that troops on the ground that were being shot at by insurgents in the area that the armed camera crew was in? Do you think that the helicopter crew might have been thinking that they, the troops on the ground, were in danger.

So, no one in Baghdad uses bodyguards? All Iraqi policemen must be at all the time in uniform, even for covert entry? I don't think an AK is any convincing ground for believing them to be insurgents. Americans aren't the only ones with rig

The standard AK-47 weighs 9.3 pounds. It's not exactly heavy. There is also a lighter version weighing in at 6.8lbs. The way shown in the video is a plausible, common way to carry that type of weapon. There were AK-47's found at the sce

He wasn't saying exactly that, he said "Come on, buddy. All you gotta do is pick up a weapon." Listen to his tone and inflection, the guy is clearly very injured and going to die, the gunner wants to put him out of his misery but can't en

I don't think you understood why the gunner was watching the injured guy. At 8:29 of the 17:47 video he says "Come on, buddy. All you gotta do is pick up a weapon." From his tone and inflection it seems pretty clear to me he wants to eng

I watched the video multiple times. At 3:38 of the 17:47 video, you can clearly see an AK-47 in one of the mens hands. At 3:48 you can see another AK-47. Also at 3:48, it looks like a third man has either a handgun or a small submachine

I noticed the same thing. I was getting ~70fps in the flash version, but it looked like it was stuttering and dropping frames. Try the link at the bottom that's rate limited to 25fps. It appears very smooth.

It'll be interesting to see what happens if the oil money flows to the people in Iraq. Strategically, it would be a very wise move on the part of the US, as it would assist in shoring up relations with the region. If for their entire live
