Except of course most of the world considers the US to be the bad guys.
God help the US Navy indeed. It needs a few friends (or "collaborators" more to the point)
If there is one essential that I'd recommend it is formal training in project management.
I finished an MBA at a reputable university a few years ago, and the thing that really stuck was project management. Of the various project management approaches I'd particularly recommend PMBOK (project management body of knowledge.)
This really is "MBA in a box." You will get a good smattering of budgeting, communications, human resources, timing,quality etc, and a way to hold all this stuff together.
Oh this is going to be good.
Packing a hacked trojan horse full of nails and fertiliser and sending it back among the invaders.
Oh this is going to be good...
If I was an insurgent I would sneak up behind Smoky Bear and strap the mother of all IEDs to it.
What a great trojan horse Smoky would then make!
Vecna Technologies consider yourself hacked!
There are literally tens of other clone sites of allofmp3 out there spread across the countries of the former USSR. It will only take a post on Slashdot with a list of these for the symbolic value of RIAA v allofmp3 to be rendered meaningless. The genie is out of the bottle and cat is out of the bag....
back to Mc Carthyist times. But this time with a healthy mix of corporate control of the state, Christianity and even more corruption!
In a couple more years it might get to the point where being outspoken like this journalist will get you a one-way-ticket to Gitmo >_>
I don't mean to suggest that India is corrupt, but it seems more cost effective to bribe the cops to look the other way. The cop pockets an on the spot fine, the business keeps businessing, life goes on.
Poor Indian guys that got busted tho.. I guess the own brown-skinned scapegoat is required as a sacrifice for US shareholders to stay happy....
On a more interesting note, I wonder how much "I didn't see a thing" bribery goes on on in the US. Not meaning to suggest the US is open to corruption or anything...
Oh, about the same as the privately funded Iraq War, thanks.
Except the private enterprise Iraq War has to keep worrying about boosting the share price as well as getting things done. (transporting icecream and hamburgers to the centurions etc)
This of course makes it much more efficient as we can all see...
The whole notion of viewing the healthcare as a market is brain dead.
Healthcare can only function in the hands of the government.
Pay high takes and get good health care. Don't let the corporations greed the cream from the healthcare system for some spurious shareholders.
This is not a case for bad management. it is certainly possible to manage hospitals efficiently and effectively using sound business principles.. Efficiency and effectiveness most certainly does not require private ownership, as many places of Western Europe will attest.
US health care is by far from the best in the world. Hate to say it, but Cuba has a lower infant mortality rate than the US.

Have you heard of oil?
You know, that stinky stuff you put in yr Hummer?
Have you checked the US balance of payments lately?
Russiaactually has lots of your $$$$ from selling you lots of this stinky stuff.
China lots of your $$$$ from selling you most of everything else.
Living off your credit card is certainly an unusual view of being rich. You should Google to see where the money actually is - ie not in your pocket.
You are actually broke, have an unpopular president and have lost a war n Afghanistan (Oh, and Iraq). Much indeed as was the USSR before it fell apart.
Fatass, or should I call you "Cho Seung-Hui," you truly are truly a credit to yr Krispy Kreme eating compatriots.
BOOM! HEADSHOT! BOOM! HEADSHOT PSHEW PSHEW! - you are a no less that a man, or at least a 13 year old of true taste.
No, you lost the Cold War when you kept imaging that you'd won the Cold War in face of all the evidence.
Dominating the world software industry with sales of 244 units? Wow! Clear thinking buddy.
Time to shift yr fat ass from Fox News and look outside yr window, Cho Seung-Hui.
At least I can get up out of my chair...
Oh, by the way, you might want to check your calendar.
It is now 2007,and the US lost the Cold War.
Love yr nostalgia work though....
Well, fatboy or whatever, it seems your dumbass attitude is a neat summary of why the US is profoundly uncompetitive in a range of industries, from software to warcraft.
Strut and peptalk and invoke the rule of law and the international community.
Don't worry fatboy. Noone even speaks English around here, much less cares what you think...
In my experience it is only companies that are directly in receipt of US government grants that would bother buying legal copies. It is only the high probability of getting audited by a young white nerd in a suit, and of this directly impacting your income that would make you buy a legal copy. As a result, I would bet 100 yuan it was someone like PWC, KPMG, or the US embassy that bought all 244 copies.
From these few copies, a few "evaluation" copies will invade the rest of China, and the rest of the web.
Not just "haha"s but "hahahahahahahahahahahahahhah"s are in order.
Hey, That's where the big PR bucks are, and where there is such a thing as a free lunch.
When you're a blogger, you can start all kinds of terrible rumors like...HP is about to take over Dell...or Google is about to post a huge loss...and SURPRISE! - nothing happens.
Objectivity? Not in the world of journalism. And not much in most blogs either, which seem to be a mix of indulgent self promotion, viral product marketing written in a friendly style, or political partisanship.
Citizen journalism? Give me a break. If you want to do something political - start tearing down Republican posters, handing out flyers about how your local Republican wants to legalize kiddie pr0n, and letting down the tyres of enemy staffers. In short, what Nixon, or Rove described as "ratfucking" your opponent.http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/3/16/1 05453/058
Get away from that keyboard and away from screens if you want to change things!
I bought one of these second hand recently. Comes with all kinds of nice things and goes around 6 hours on a standard battery. It is about as small as you want to go- I'm thinking about getting a roll-up key board. Very nice. Much sexier and still much cheaper than a new D*ll or something similar. Kind of like a second hand late model Mercedes...way overpriced when new, but still fun when slightly tarnished.
What makes you think "the authorities" didn't negotiate with the organizations competitors? Do you really believe anyone in Russia gives a shit about copyright?
I would venture anything the reason he had to go to court was because some competitor in the same town had paid the inspector to raid him, and take him out.
I'm around 100% certain these incidents have nothing to do with copyright violations, but are rather an extension of commercial warfare, Russian style.
Yeah right. There are literally 10s of other AllofMyMp3 like sites. They have flourished like mushrooms. And not just in Russia. They seem to run out of every former Soviet republic.
Not to mention the incredibly effective job that street based anti-piracy enforcement has achieved.Not.
At best, it provides another opportunity for the cops to shake down stall holders.
I think you will find anyone selling pirated CDs finds it easier to pay the cops or copyright inspects an "on the spot fine". That way everyone is happy. The CD software seller gets to keep doing business, the cop is paid, the cops boss gets a cut, and business continues.
What are you worried about? This is the market is supposed to work, after all.

Seems like this creates a great opportunity for non-US based Internet radio stations.
Allofmp3.com has caused a great deal of handwringing among RIAA and friends.
Despite threats of closedown, such a scenario seems decreasingly likely as Putin blows ever louder raspberries at Bush and friends.
So...this just seems to create a great opportunity to stream radio from non-US sites.
Is Durosport just a warmed over Borat joke pitched at the Slashdot demographic?

No, I'm not a Moldovan or a Kazakh FYI.
And this Durosport sppof does seem a whole lot less racist (against xUSSR people and Muslims that is).
And for my last demonstration, I will show you t how politically correct and humorless I truly am, here is a link to Moldovan Internet stats:

In Russia, Ukraine etc. you can get a DVD in a plastic sleeve with a color photo of current release movie or software for about US$5.
Plus you don't need to screw around with downloading.
The saving in labor from downloading, plus physical medium including packaging for that price seems like a pretty good business model to me.
Now, all they need to do is to work out how to export this model internationally....
But an effective franchise for this business model - THAT is a real moneymaker.
