That's simply not true. What happens is that international corporations pay HUGE taxes to other countries they do business in-- but the USA allows said companies to deduct these other taxes from their taxable income. So they end up paying little or nothing to the USA. Is this right? Well, individuals are also allowed to deduct foreign income tax from their USA liabilities. You decide.
yea but i bet like all good tax evading companies they put their retail hosting services on their own EC2/S3 platform as a sub corp so they can pay out their hosting/bandwidth/data center costs to another part of happens to be incorporated in a tax free zone.
Yup. None of their problems have to do with local warlords and despots doing what they have done best for all of recorded history: steal, kill, and destroy.
If you think pointing the finger at the west will solve all the world's problems, you might be a progressive.
Some of it is also hopelessly out of date securitywise. I have seen stuff like Win2000 being used on the print centers by one well known big company. Rooting that is trivial.
Support for Windows 2000 Server ended in July of this year. I wouldn't consider that hopelessly out of date, but I agree that those systems should have been eliminated by then. 2000 does have features that would let one lock them down pretty well; as to whether this is feasible with a print server, I don't want to know.
If anything, this is a good reason to ensure that we learn how to start our own businesses and make sure the government doesn't keep trying to create a "workers' paradise", making that impossible. Being a lifetime employee is an obsolete notion.
This is a step up. I've heard NJ schools basically make families buy everything the kids need for school. At least when I went in the 70s and 80s, they would provide us paper and art supplies; send you kid in with pencils, pens, and a trapper-keeper and you were good to go. It looks like basically the entire budget goes to paying teachers' and administrator's salaries now. They sure aren't using it to keep up the buildings, and the students have to beg for donations just to pay the bus driver to take them on a field trip to the other side of town.
Is there some reason you're trolling about food on Slashdot? Really, half the guys on here have fingers permanently stained by Cheetos. Claiming that all the food in America is bad is only pandering to the knee-jerk elitist anti-American crowd. It's a patently absurd claim. American food is a combination of the world's cuisine. Some of the mass-market crap is just that-- crap-- but don't eat it and pretend it's a fine example.
Do us all a favor and stay the hell out of the USA forever.
I think your anecdotal evidence is falling flat here. Dogs can and will attempt to operate door handles. Most dogs aren't small or flexible enough to get their paws turned under the door.
The beauty of calling it "global climate change" is that the temperature doesn't matter. We had a cold winter with lots of snow last year, and they blamed that on CO2 emissions as well.
That will merely result in some kind of "crackdown" on drivers... probably adding more fourth-amendment-violating "sobriety checkpoints" even though intoxication has nothing to do with it.

Sounds like tax avoidance, not tax evasion.
Isn't it about time we addressed the issue of eel farts?
Caused by man, I'm sure. We'll need to bioform this area to return it to its state before an destroyed it in 8,000 BCE.
And there you go.
Cheap, powerful, and good: choose any two.
85 billion Euro bailout. Why don't they just roll some of those naughty leprechauns for their gold?

Nope: still deadly.

But do you like the taste?
Excuse me, but due to our history of racial intolerance, "server" is an unacceptable term due to the implied relationship with a "master".
I'll rick that you were joking, but age discrimination is only illegal if you're too old, not too young.

Telling people how many children they can have isn't very libertarian. Your difficult to figure out. I guess everyone needs to troll once in a while.
Apparently, Vanessa Williams never went to Argentina. IRONY FAIL.

I'm pretty sure China is already shipping these.

I could assume that the writer of the summary is merely lacking in his language skills and not his financial knowledge; but in case I'm wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_System
Since we're talking about circa 1985 here, the PC had a 16 color EGA adapter at the time.
I don't know if I'd even dare to play Solitaire under Win 3.x during a download unless I had one of the third-party COM driver replacements.
