Sista:Ok Sista:You do have a profile along with your previous posts and your "combatants" have the same. We have had this argument about tones of address before. Its not something I intend to get into though it obviously interests you. |

Sista: Sista:Now I'm actually curious to find out what your theory is, principally because the second quote can be expanded to include every living human if you accede to the current theories of 1)Evolution out of Africa and 2)African Albinos. What is your theory? Sista:Some could say the same about you, you know. |

Sista:I didn't ask about your thoughts on African suffering, I just want to know who you consider as African. I'd rather we do cloud the question with tangents. Sista:Am I right in saying you consider melanin as the "preferable" determinant of Africaness? but that even if you do not have melanin i.e. Albinos you are still African if you are from the original African parents? |

kazey:That comment doesn't make any sense, remember you did say Goog was privately held. Are you saying a company can be privately and publicly held? That would be a first. Besides that press release is from 1999(7 years old). Goog had an IPO in 2004 in case you forgot and makes regular SEC "forced" filings which are more up-to-date. Further discussion on this is really unnecessary. |

Sista:um everyone does have roots in Africa according to the Albino == White theory. Is melanin level the determinant of who you consider to be an African? |
Business / Re: Google Acquires Youtube by mochafella(m): 10:44pm On Oct 17, 2006 |
kazey: Erm, how does a publicly listed company remain privately held? The fact that some stockholders may retain large percentages as a result of their previous association with a firm does not make it privately held. I'm sure you heard about Google's IPO in 04. If so much as 1 share is publicly traded the company ceases to be privately held. And why would Google suddenly start making SEC filings if they were not publicly listed?

Sports / Re: Mourinho Is An Ass by mochafella(m): 7:11pm On Oct 16, 2006 |
Vieira: Erm, I could make that comment in bold about Wenger. He did call some people "joy riders" last week, probably because of the injuries to Eboue, Yunbu Yunbu and Baptista. Yes Mourinho is a whiner but Wenger is no mute either. |

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by mochafella(m): 6:22pm On Oct 12, 2006 |
@Loyika loyika:Are we really going to start an argument over team honours/titles when we are discussing individuals. It's almost as bad as referring to the subjective awards. I'm sure you've noticed I never once alluded to the teams either of them played for. Yes I know it influences the player but then it becomes even more difficult to compare the players. Either way my issue was to get you to acknowledge that Ruud has better ratios in Europe and at Senior National team level. Particularly since you made such an effort to disclose Thierry's marginally better premeirship ratio and conveniently relegated the European and National team ratios to the backwaters. As for your assertion that Thierry is a better player and goal scorer, its your opinion but I beg to differ. Better player yes, better goalscorer no. |

@Loyika Martin Tyler is silent about National Team and European exploits. You can obviously see that. You should be "game" enough to recognise that Ruud has a better goal-ratio than Thierry at both levels. |
Politics / Re: Should Africa Have Nuclear Weapons? by mochafella(m): 1:30am On Oct 11, 2006 |
@ Havila Havila:I would expect you to withdraw your claim that my comment was ludicrous at the end of my explanation. 1) You made a comment about nuclear weapons and tech. 2) I made a comment about that and asked what exactly you were advocating. 3) You replied and asked for a clarification, specifically that I point out where you "stated the advantages" 4) I replied, pointing out where you stated those advantages and asked "I hope it is clearer now". i.e. I hope my initial comment asking what you were advocating is clearer now. I wasn't clarifying your comment. You asked for clarification about my question and I provided it. I'll ask again, I hope it is clearer now? Havila:It is all well and good to describe N Korea as a "special case" even though that is arguable. However the quote above was not made in reference to NK. And yes I do know the influence of nuclear power generation on economic development, and its diluted, domino effect on global politics. However I also know that "Nuclear" and "Global politics" in the same statement usually refers to Nuclear weapons especially since nuclear energy is not the only source of power through which an economy can be driven. |

Politics / Re: Should Africa Have Nuclear Weapons? by mochafella(m): 11:45pm On Oct 10, 2006 |
@Havila right here. Havila: Havila:Nuclear Technology as a political tool is useful primarily because Nuclear weapons can follow. On its own Nuclear technology used for power generation and domestic uses carries little weight on the global scene and even less weight in bargaining for aid and sanctions. So if you are stating global politics as a reason for Nuclear tech. then its Nuclear weapons you are indirectly asking for. Hope its clearer now? |
Politics / Re: Should Africa Have Nuclear Weapons? by mochafella(m): 6:08pm On Oct 10, 2006 |
@ Havila You state the "difference" between Nuclear technology and Nuclear weapons. You profess that the technology is what Nigeria should aspire to and then proceed to state the advantages of Nuclear weapons as the reason for that aspiration. What are you actually advocating? And lets not all forget that India and Pakistan never signed the "piece of paper" known as the NPT. Iran and N. Korea did which is the reason why the US/UN can "justifiably" raise hell. Nigeria also did and backing out is tantamount to joining Bush's Axis of evil. Personally I think we have other priorities, at this point we already have a strong though declining bargaining chip in Oil. By all means go for Nuclear technology if you can maintain and handle the waste properly even though we are yet to maximise other sources of electricity. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by mochafella(m): 5:51pm On Oct 10, 2006 |
@ Loyika loyika: I think you should take a look at Ruud's goal-scoring ratio at National team level compared to Thierry's. It's a little one-sided to lay out the stats where Henry has a marginal advantage and leave out the stats in the two "competitions" where Ruud surpasses Thierry. This topic has been argued out and I think most people agree that Thierry is the more complete player and Ruud is the better goal-scorer. And probably the truest measure, goals ratio bears this out. Individual awards are subjective as you know. Or how do you explain Etoo beating out JJ to the African player of the year award some seasons ago. Still it is obvious to me as I'm sure with most people that Thierry is better technically and contributes in multiple categories however if I need a player to put the ball in the net, no fuss, no mess. I would pick Ruud ahead of Thierry. I beleive Henry is more useful drifting in from a wide position than as the arrowhead of the attack. |

Business / Google Acquires Youtube by mochafella(m): 9:58pm On Oct 09, 2006 |
Looks like Google is buying up Youtube Google snaps up Youtube I wonder if the copyright lawsuits will follow now that "Youtube" has deep pockets or if Goog will eventually kill it off and promote Google video instead. |
