AFA the WTO is concerned only dumping in international trade is illegal. A American business dumping American made products in the US market does not fall within it's brief & thus quite legal.
In a lot less time than you think, the Minions out there will be using up or the processing power of a dual core Athlon 64 5000+ just to run Office 2006, IE7 'n a dozen ActiveX worms/adware/hijacks, & of course the 40 odd startup processes in the system tray.
If one's not working but one's defacto partner is working, then the official line is that one then becomes a dependent/tax deduction for the working half.
Here in Oz welfare is only officially for singles or for both partners combined in a relationship. Meaning those in relationships are excluded from welfare automatically unless their partner also qualifies for welfare too.
Thus Centrelink's always on the hunt to trackdown clients that it suspects are a bit to lubbydubby with their 'flat mates'
If one has been on the dole so long that one has developed a mental disorder &/or become a drug addict, one can then get about AU$600 (I s'pose about US$470) a fortnight on the Oz disability pension, including rental assistence, the pharmacuetical benefit & the pensioner education supplement.
The dole is a little less than a straight pension without the added rental assistence, the pharmacuetical pension or the PES ontop.
IE just the internal codename that the development & managerial staff called OS 10.4.
AFAIK internal corporate product codenames arn't covered by such things as trademark law. Plus AFAIK there's no law saying one can't publically mention a product by it's internal codename either.
They're telling customers the Tiger copies that shipped out early will not be supported by Apple, and that users will have to return the boxes and get new copies shipped next week
Notice such quotes are useally in the 3rd person, alway
they're telling people, not they told me.
At most as a legitimatly sold product all Apple could do was withhold support till the official release day. Fact is once the release day occures Apple's support staff/contractors won't give a fuck if someone's purchase &/or delivery date pre-dates the release date by a week, although it could mean that one's ellapsed time guaranteed support might end 8 days earlier than if the disc was delivered 8 days later.
Another thing that might occure is that registering for technical support might not be possible till the release date.
All we have heare is someone panicing & spreading 3rd hand news that's been distorted by someone with poor comprehension skills.
Foreign registed ships have the right to employ foreigners without local visas, within both the 200 mile economic zone & the 12 mile line
As they'd be working for the ship's owners they'd be consided ships crew regardless of what they do. Just as when a ships' owner comes aboard with his own personal staff for a trip, or the owners' fleet management people are onboard on a trip, they have the same status as ships' crew when in foreign waters & ports.
Just go to a repossesion/estate auction house - they do not explicity say if any products arn't functioning as their maker intended, it's a case of buyer beware & 100% legal (that's why one can inspect the goods 1st)
I've never met a memory seller who didn't send offor hand over a new stick straight away to replace one rejected by a customer (as long as it was within a reasonable timeframe of the original purchase).
Afterall what's it matter, if the rejected stick's OK one can simply hand it over or send it off to the next bugger that complain's his new stick doesn't work. Where as if it's a real dud one just sends it back to one's supplier for a credit. Either way it's no loss to replace the stick straight away.
From my experiance it isn't hard to find a local outfit that betters the web price.
Really unless one's buying a hundred sticks at a time, local's always best, & in regards bulk buys a official 1st teir distributor/reseller is maybe the go, but for some strange reason the local outfits are often cheaper in that dept too.
Surelly many Belgium companies have both.com &.be sites.
www.companyname.be will be the national/local site relivent to all those doing business with the company in Belgium. As such it will be a bilingual Dutch/French site. www.company.com will be the international corporate site & will be in English. It will be laid out & have information relivent to it's international business & foreign investors, etc. Of course both sites will crosslink. For eample until the.be site has got arround to being tr-lingual & having it's own English option, clicking a Union Jack flag style English language icon will land one on the.com site, just as clicking on the "international Headquarters" or "international Corporate Site" link (or whatever) will land one on their.com site too.
Archelogical evidence seems to show that they've been in Oz for at least 160,000 years. Mind you he could be right, that could be evidence of earlier Hominoid immigrants & the current aboriginal population might be descended from a later immigration within the last 60'000 years.
Traditionally it was thought that Yugoslavia & Greece stalled the Germans by a month, but we now know that Barbarossa was going to end up occuring when it did regardless of Yugoslavia & Greece. Yes there were other factors that would've stalled the Germans by the same degree regardless of the Balkan campaign
In fact the Greek campaign cost the British Singapore. But for the Greek campaign, all Axis forces would've been evicted from North Africa at least 6 months before US entry into the war. (untill Churchill destracted the 8th Army with Greece they were running the Italians out of Africa piss easily)
Remember a significant percentage of the huge resources lost in Greece & Crete & the resources that went to continued war in North Africa were destined for Malaya or would've beeen destined for Malaya. It's a fact that but for Greece the British would've had air superiority in Malaya (the reason the Brits used Baffalos in Malaya was because the fighters destined for Malaya ended up in Greece, Crete & the Med (literally)) & local naval superiority (for example 2 of those 3 carriers & their escorts that were used to escort supply convoys to Alexandria would have been sent to the East Indies if the North African War had been won in the summer of 41)
BTW you know Singapore was a lot closer than what many people think - when Percival surrendered, Yamashita's forces were so spent that he had already planned to fall back off the island & regroup if the British had held out just another day longer. Also contrary to belief Singapore's guns could turn arround & fire over the city onto the Penisula. It's just that virtually all the ammo was AP, not much good against bicycles & trucks unless direct hits.
Also in a pre-war Staff excercise Perceval had predicted almost perfectly (except one tiny detail) how the Japs would invade Singapore down the Malay Penisula. Percival was a brillient staff officer but he just wasn't assertive enough as a field commander. When he knew the Japs were going to land on the Thai side of the border, instead of just hitting them on the beach regardless he asked the Foreign Office for permission, knowing full well they'd of course say no. Also the Governor would not let him build defensive fortifications, because the Governor saw such preperations as negative in which the British would lose face in front of the natives. The Governor wanted the natives (& Chinese) to think the British were 100% confident a Jap invasion simply wasn't possible & even if they did invade Malaya they'd be thrown back into the sea, leaving Singapore to party. If Percival was a better Field Officer he would have just ignored the Governor & the Colonial Office, by making sure any communications from them were lost in transit by his staff, etc ("what that? Ah the phone's cutting out, I can't hear you")

Maybe you're assuming the coding vacancies:available coders ratio in the rest of Oz is the same as it is in Sydney?
To attract votes from those that listen to Allan Jones, John Laws & Stan what-his-name.
blow your dole payments using those fits for long enough & you'll be able to claim the disability pension.
They might live in bloody Cambelltown, Maquarie Fields or Bidwell & have a phobia about trains.

Oh & those $29.95 DVD players too.

Either through a couple of manufacturers opening the specs on their chips or referance boards, or via reverse engineering the windows or Mac drivers.
Even old BeOS 5 had drivers for 2 winmodem chip manufacturers/referance designs.
Just curious ;)
A live bootable OS, with a GUI, Filesystem, web browser, networking & NIC/modem support, all off a standard floppy
He just wanted buffers to protect St Petersburg's flanks
Try reading Kershaw, etc.
