    Please, Jon and others, distinguish whether you are speaking of the Chinese people or The Chinese Government when ranting/writing.

    Your opening 'riddle' implies it is the Chinese people you are refering to as 'stupid' and 'arrogant', yet in the text of your article you clearly meant the Chinese Government (Chinese Communist Party or CCP to be more precise).

    While it may seem like I'm splitting hairs here to a Western mind such as yours, the difference is crucial when refering to a group such as "the Chinese" who most definitely do NOT have a government "...of, by, and for the people" in the Western sense.

    Hmmm, now that I think about it, CCP...CCA... coincidence? ;-)

    As others have pointed out, this is simply false. If you live in the western half of the USA or Mexico, simply tune your AM radio to KTNN, 660 kHz. at night to hear Navajo music, news, sports, and the like. I sincerely doubt a 50,000 watt station would last long with only 60 listeners!

  15. Show me the numbers on UN Proposes Email Tax · · Score: 1
    "The report proposes a tax of the equivalent of one US cent on every 100 emails that an individual might send. Ranworth said that had this type of program been in place in 1996, it would have generated US$70 billion in development assistance that year. "
    Let's say there are 700 million individuals in the world who have sent email (I think this number may be on the high side, but not by more than 50% or so; good enough for what I'm about to show).

    In order to have generated US$70 Billion, this tax of US$0.0001 per email could only have been generated if, on average, each one of these 700 million emailers sent out

    (total $)/(($ per email)*(number of emailers)), or

    7e10/(1e-4*7e8)=7e10/7e4=1e6, or

    one million emails each!!

    Yeah, right.

    They're either lying or stupid, take your pick.

    Coffee will always beat these drinks in the end
    because they're proprietary; coffee, on the
    other hand, is open architecture.

    Not exactly "Open Source", but you won't get
    sued for patent or trademark infringement if
    you come out with a new coffee product.

    It's nice to see open architecture succeeding
    in the drinkware world.
