Generally, discussing racist views should be OK but as soon as it is targeted that is wrong. If a person feels uncomfortable sitting next to a different person they should be encouraged to discuss it but in the current PC climate they cannot. If someone feels uncomfortable with a black man or a woman running the country, they should be free to discuss that without any problem. I do not support their view in any way but pushing these things underground creates a bigger problem. So I think we should defend their free speech...
Suggesting harm is not wrong because the target is black or Muslim or a woman, it is wrong because it is an assault. It is already a crime and in a truly non racist society we should just see it as a crime because it is one, not because the victim was different.
We need to end racism in society by stopping racism from being the crime. End all racism, sexism etc. We need a society that treats all people the same, regardless of who they hate.
A pretty big shop is called a mall. 10 years ago I walked into a mall at Thapae Gate in Chiang Mai which was owned by the now Prime Minister of Thailand. None of the shops where selling anything but the car park was full of staff cars, escalators working etc. like something out of a horror film. On paper the mall was trading. I also know of holiday resorts on Samui that do not have any guests, same thing. It is easy and it does not involve moving money travelling from one country to another.
Transferring money around the world is a red herring. It only happens in films. Why would anyone take extra risk to do something the hard way and create a bigger paper trail that is easier to find. If you want to clean more money spread the load and use more sites. More hotels or shops. Do not take the crazy idea of carrying it through customs. That is for fools like me who have hard earnt money that they do not want to pay to transfer.
If you do want to carry money across a border, small gold coins in your jacket do not show up as anything special or diamonds are best for large amounts. Big bundles of cash shows up on the xray machine and lots of foil strips are distinctive. They will see it. They will see the gold coins but they will not know they are gold, they will just see coins. They will not see the diamonds if they are in your pocket and not xrayed. Diamonds and gold do not set off the alarms.
The 13 yr old probably knows more about how to circumvent the measures suggested by the earlier court than the parents know about installing them. It was a stupid ruling and should have been struck down. The only reason for it is that those that are prosecuting know that the parents have money and the boy does not.
Money laundering now seems to mean not paying the bank their 6%. I shift a lot of money around the world through some very questionable countries but as long as I pay the bank, no one minds. If I take a lot of cash onto a plane to avoid the bank fees I am a money launderer. It is BS and I no longer take it seriously, to me it is a challenge. I am not a criminal but I will do all I can to avoid paying stupid banks in other countries money that they do not deserve.
Does anyone understand how real money laundering works? It is easy and it does not have to move countries. Just get a shop and sell stuff. If you want to clean some money you sell more on paper than you really sold. It is that easy. You do not need to go to another country with a suitcase of cash, that is stupid.
I really want Bitcoin to become a reality because then I can save 6%. Now the people I work with all want Swift payments or Moneygram. I try to avoid Paypal and Western Union as they charge way too much.
Please do not feed the pedants. I have started using my google account for video conferencing and found it to be better than Skype when there are bandwidth problems (why we decided to try it). I also found Oovoo better in the same situation. Several issues with Skype make it a problem for me but it is much more suitable for terrorists etc. as it does not store any data... Great for the tinfoil hat brigade but if you send a message to someone who is not online, they do not get that message if you are not online when they get online. They online get the message when you both come online at the same time (this is a problem as I am dealing with people all over the world and in very different time zones) so I have to use another method to send the message, i.e. gmail, so why not stay in the google front end and use their video conference facility.
Wrong, my failure comes from assuming that other people can read what was written. I am stupid enough to think that other people will follow... The original said 50%, 75% and 75%+ of users. If you really want to argue you should be masturbating about users can use more than one system but that would still fail to correct his mistake as the figures he laid out are still wrong even if that was what he was trying to say.
A simple thought exercise for you. We are discussing a field in which I worked. I was there, these were the people I worked with.
A total stranger is telling me that the experts are wrong and which do you think I will listen to. I am not interested in getting into detail but I do know how and why this works. It was my job to know.
but in reality, I think it is more likely that Russia was after the deep water port in Abkasia as Ukraine was refusing to renew the lease on Sevastopol (they did renew in the end) at that time. Russia has kept Abkasia.
Russia moved Chechen troops into South Ossetia and they had been attacking Georgia for months before Georgia retaliated. It was stupid but it was not Georgia that attacked first.
No, the ATC said that the first reason that he contacted the pilot was because the transponder was turned off, and the pilot was surprised that he could even see him. As for your stupid "No you didn't", if you are really that young you are not really worth communicating with.
When I was growing up, I used to stay with my Grandparents on the west coast of Scotland as often as I could. I learnt about getting ready for winter and it wasn't a problem, it was just part of life. So when I went to live there for a while about 20 years ago to look after my Gran in her final years, I knew about spending some time through the summer, cutting wood etc. and getting things ready for winter. What really shocked me was how many people have moved into these remote areas without any clue about how to survive a serious storm. In my last winter there the snow got to 15 feet deep in places and there was no communication at all. No traffic could get in or out and there was no power or phones. People died because they would go out in their cars and get stuck. I had 4x4 and I would not leave the main road into town and back again.
Drones are not rocket science (hurr hurr). Hitler had them in WWII (OK, limited) and I used to play with remote control aircraft when I was a child. It is not a big leap forward. Iran has US drone tech and will sell it to anyone that wants to buy it. That cat is so far out of the bag that it has had kittens and is living under an assumed name in New Zealand (with a part in the Hobbit).

I can understand that.

I just host shit on Google Drive as soon as I get something good and my friends dl and do the same... Pandora cannot get her shit back in her box...
Far more criminals use cash than Bitcoin. It is stupid to suggest otherwise regardless of how many links you can provide.

What's a desktop and can I get an android app for it?
You cannot use logic to argue with a religious nut, they would not be a religious nut job if they could manage logic.
If you are god@heaven.com, then it is my spam you get :-P
It is basically the difference between knowing their shit and knowing they're shit.
These newbs just don't know what it was like back in our days... aaagh, nostalgias not what it used to be...

So if your device has a simple problem like a dirty lens it dies completely? Another good reason not to buy one...
Not my claim, I was quoting, so do not expect me to be the one to defend his figures.
"Understanding the written word isn't your strong suit, right?"
From the original "windows is still dominating (75%+), Samsung has always sold more smartphones."
!= "And finally, it seems you made up the number for Samsung."
Maybe my sarcasm is too much for you but try to understand the written word...

Actually the Russians had been shelling Georgia for months before Georgia retaliated

I believe that South Ossetia was just smoke and mirrors and that what Russia really wanted was the deep water port in Abkasia.

Blackberry = 50%+
Windows = 75%+
Samsung => 75%
Total = ????
Did you do maths at school?
By "quite close to", I think you still mean behind... So OSX is still the biggest but you have trouble accepting reality.

"technical advantages of drones"
Drones are not rocket science (hurr hurr). Hitler had them in WWII (OK, limited) and I used to play with remote control aircraft when I was a child. It is not a big leap forward. Iran has US drone tech and will sell it to anyone that wants to buy it. That cat is so far out of the bag that it has had kittens and is living under an assumed name in New Zealand (with a part in the Hobbit).
