If you were the CEO and President of BP and got feed up with the meddling in their company’s internal affairs by the American President Obama and the U. S. Congress wouldn’t you just sell off your U. S. holdings and move your business expansion and interests to the emerging markets in the Middle East, on the sub continent of India or the continent of Asia (China). They could divest the company of U. S. holdings, leave the little pittance of devalued US dollars ($20 Billion in an escrow account) as they left the country and leave no shell corporation to sue in a U. S. Court for other damages.

They have already started to sell off some of their Alaskan operations a portion of them are up for sale to Apache.

i really need to get ubuntu working on dialup, if possible, and have installed a usb modem but cannot figure out how to set up the account. Could it be possible, in rural Iowa, United states, that my dial up provider may not be linux- compliant?

BOSTON (Reuters) – Disaffected people living in the United States may develop radical ideologies and potentially violent skills over the Internet and that could present the next major U.S. security threat, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said on Monday.

“We now have a capability of someone to radicalize themselves over the Internet,” Chertoff said on the sidelines of a meeting of International Association of the Chiefs of Police.

“They can train themselves over the Internet. They never have to necessarily go to the training camp or speak with anybody else and that diffusion of a combination of hatred and technical skills in things like bomb-making is a dangerous combination,” Chertoff said. “Those are the kind of terrorists that we may not be able to detect with spies and satellites.”
