    Let us begin with the following question: Why should you tax the individual that is creating benefit to the society? Why the people that take the most from the society are taxed less? Taxing labour is not logical, but it's the easiest way of collecting $$$ and get sponsored by walthy people.

    I bet that we could even build robots that would build a habitable station before we send actual humans.

    So you are saying that we send them off and just forget they existed!?!?!?!? You know, that sending supplies, without humans is much cheaper and cone be done every several months.

    The general idea is that overcoming real hardships will always result in a "team".
    We had a team that was created, not by engineered team building excessive, but by real life. Late project and grumpy client.

    You are clearly forgetting that these people are armed with YOUR weapons from the 80-ies. And they probably got upgrades from the Pakistanis.

    Russians are notorious in protecting some assets. India will be left out cold if they break the partnership. Specially, Russia will not give technology, know-how and production of certain critical parts over to India.

    Fair. Strange thing to call an election that had acusations of fraud and were not foreign accounted fair. Where did I see that recently before, oh yes, Iran.

    Was not he elected in a free and fair election first time? On the other side Hitler was also elected in a free and fair election.
    On the third side, I believe that US type democracy is a covered up plutocracy. Well... Maybe, plutocracy with a bit of oligarchy.

    But why would he have to pay up for the license, if he already has it?
    That is essentially the issue with "You do not buy the game, you buy the media and a license". He did not invalidate the license by scratching the media. Since "the media and a license" are two rather distinct items, as the suits say, why would he need to buy another license!?!?!?!?!?!

    And yet, I personally see BBC as the one station that actually drills both sides well. Sure, most of the time it drills from the point of view of UK, but still it's better than CNN or any other US network.

  22. Re:but who is to blame - OEM or MS? on Dell Says Re-Imaging HDs a Burden If Word Banned · · Score: 1

    Look at it this way, if you buy any stolen goods, knowingly or unknowingly, you are will be basically deprived of the goods and you will not receive anything in return. So, yes, OEM's have to have that on tabs.

  23. Re:No, that's not their argument on Dell Says Re-Imaging HDs a Burden If Word Banned · · Score: 1

    Now let us move to the world of criminal justice, for a second.
    For example:
    You buy a stolen 'something', without knowing it was stolen. Three months later somehow your 'something' is actually identified as a stolen 'something'. You will loose the 'something', no one will give you your money back. Even if the criminal that stole the 'something' is on appeal, you will not be able to ask the court to let you have the 'something' "until the legal process has been completed".
    Now why should Dell be allowed to have their stolen "something"? Dell is innocent, but so is the buyer of the stolen 'something'.

  24. Re:That's fine on Dell Says Re-Imaging HDs a Burden If Word Banned · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are missing the hidden point here. There is no technical reason why HP or Dell would do this. Only a political one. Microsoft "asked" them to do this, obviously. By "asking", I mean that they might have hinted that there might be some technical difficulties in calculating volume discounts, if companies do not spend just a little of their lawyer payrolled time.

    Would increase in penalty by "knowingly breaking patent" be enough of a reason?
