    I think it's different in that, Google has offered these things and people used them. Most of the Bing stuff that I have seen have been trying to sneak it in the back door or ram it down my throat. I will not Google for stuff on Bing.

    Meanwhile some liberal somewhere makes up:

    On Fox News The main headline : Obama SELLS American Freedom to Chinese

    Bill O'Reilly - Obama is betraying all Americans by giving away the secrets of freedom to the Chinese

    Glenn Beck - Obama is raising a Chinese Army to take over the United States

    For starters the license key is not proof. If you get audited you will be required to show actual purchase orders for all software. Doesn't matter if everything is licensed with a key downloaded from the internet or separate keys from the original box. Also doesn't matter if you have a stack of license key slips in a file cabinet, they wont take them as proof that you purchased them. Only original invoices.

    Framebuffer is an unaccelerated bitmap display, X11 is an accelerated graphics layer (that can use a framebuffer)

    something that writes directly to a framebuffer is going to need a lot of additional programming in order to be as fast as X11 is.

    No you still have it stored the size of one file + 100 block sizes, in size. You'd need a substantially large number of random changes through all 100 files to balloon up from 1x file size, to 100x file size.

    Yea, if we did that here that money would be put in an account and used to by T-Bills. These would then be used to finance whatever project our current representative is trying to accomplish. It'd be like putting money in your savings account and borrowing it out, but telling your spouse that it's still in the savings account, just in the form of an IOU.

    You're right, it wasn't 60%. It was 75% turn over after any 10 year period. through the 1990s it was actually 97%. Though you are right the top 1% which holds almost 10% of the total wealth doesn't have much turnover.

    and

    May be a good place to start. It was a Forbes article where I found the original stat although I can't find the actual article right now.

    Good luck on your broadening your horizons.
