Emulated PC Enables Linux Desktop In Your Browser
Ianopolous writes "Classic DOOM and DSL Linux Desktop inside your Java-enabled browser! The latest JPC, the fast 100% Java x86 PC emulator, is now available with online demos and downloads. JPC is open source and is the most secure way of running x86 software ever — 2 layers (applet sandbox, JPC sandbox) of independently validated security make it the world's most secure means of isolating x86 software. Visit the website to try out some classic games and play around with Linux all within your web browser. Refresh = reboot!"
Yeah. Next time some ass gives me a hard time on a private forum, I'll just post their address here. THAT will teach them!!

I'm not an American. The state that I'm currently paying my taxes to - which happens to be Canada at the moment - does not waste them on silly things such as you describe.
I don't claim the spending to be perfect, either, but I see the need and wisdom in most of it.
In any case, the point of the sig isn't that taxes are spent right at every specific moment. The point is that taxes and social welfare are necessary to maintain our (Western) present standard of living, which largely underpins our civilization. When taxes are spent wrongly, the correct response is to influence the people who make those decisions (by voting and other established democratic mechanisms) to change the way they are spent, rather than whine that "taxation is theft".
