  1. just go to 350% on Amazon, Not Developers, Will Set New App Store's Prices · · Score: 1

    so now every developer just sets their recommended price to 350% the price they would otherwise .
    if amazon reduce it then you still get the same as their 70%.
    if amazon don't reduce it then they've decided a higher price will mean higher revenue and the devs get more.

    easy

    Lets try laying it out in small words.

    lets imagine you're a network admin at an ISP(god forbid).

    Almost the entire system you laid out was based on the user voluntarily installing a load of crap on their machine and altering their own system which isn't a good starting point as you will not be the admin on every customers PC.
    The rest including the BGP and firewall setup is trivially bypassed by using a vpn which is cheap cheap cheap nowdays.
    the only way to block this is to lock down the network to the point that you can't use VPN's or almost any other useful protocol which will piss off any users who want to connect to their office VPN's or anything else.

    What they're talking about is accessing content when you're on a particular network and the network owner/admin doesn't want you to but when you contol the machine you're accessing the network with.
    The security of your system, how easy it is to find with wireshark and how many ports you have enabled have nothing to do with the problem.

    Could you elaborate on these sanctions?

    I was under the impression that they bar multi lateral financial institutions such as the IMF, the World Bank from doing business with Zimbabwe and other such financial interests outside of Zimbabwe from doing business with Zimbabwean companies or with the Zimbabwean government which certainly is going to effect everyone in the country, particularly the poor.

    " for the past four years or so, Zimbabwe has been unable to obtain finance or credit facilities from international lenders to inject into the economy. And this is a direct consequence of a sanctions regime imposed against the Zimbabwe by particularly the US, and the EU. "
    "The US introduced economic sanctions on Zimbabwe through the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act, 2001. (ZIDERA) Through this enactment Zimbabwe's access to finance and credit facilities was effectively incinerated. "
    "No matter how evil a dictator Mugabe is, it cannot be right to force his downfall by killing off the country's fledgling economy, by erasing the gains made after 1980, and worsening the AIDS, and unemployment crisis. "
