a friend of mine even saw a hip hop video were not benjamins but euros where thrown around ...

I first thought this might be fake, but A.H. indeed was an unsuccesfull painter before becoming dictator.

I see an array of 1920 x 1080 ping pong balls, each with a red, green and blue LED in it giving me a 76,8 meter wide and 43,2 meter high FullHD Display.

guess the terrorists are gonna be equipped with iPods in the future

@38: Exactly what I thought, didnt know if the book was translated to english though ... great book btw

I'm curious when the first ships and oil-platforms will start to disappear ...

Ok, some of you ppl say, "guns are just tools" "used for recreation" and so on.
Now, tomorrow I'll start building a machine, that slowly rips off the skin off people and then ripples salt on the skinned body, while chemicals ensure that the person on this machine is conscious all the time.
But I'll never use it with human beings of course! I just have it in my basement for recreation. for fun. its just a tool.

Or I always hear "guns do not kill people, people kill people". Well if thats true, why not say "cocaine does not kill people, but the people who cant handle it get killed by it"?

Even if there are people, who use firearms responsible - you can not guarantee, that all people who have access to guns do so.

And to the buddhist gun-lover: The Dalai Lhama is not Buddhism. I think there are a lot of different opinions on this one. Not to kill is absolutely elementary in buddhism. To kill a person to protect your life is totally self-oriented and so is complete against the principle of emptiness of self and all things.

thats just how capitalism works ... you ordered it, now eat up.

@Will Shetterly:

yeah, the biggest shareholder of the Americas Region Caribbean Optical-Ring System (Arcos) is the US based firm New World Network, which would violate the US-embargo when they would connect cuba.
