When the Christian god is willing to face a just court (he has, himself, apparently declared us in his own image and therefore his peers after all) on charges of Genocide, crimes against humanity, Child rape, torture, murder, trade in sex slaves (including pre-pubescent girls) and has been justly and fairly executed for such crimes then it can have a say in matters of justice.
And just for the record, resurrections mean another round of execution, not a get out card.
If I truly believed in the Christian god I, like all decent and sane human beings, would seek ways to bring down and destroy the demon king of blood, rape and death it has allegedly declared itself to be.
Religious morons of all sorts are the reason minds like that of "Mr. Hawking" (Pompous religious fool couldn't even bother with the decency to use his proper title? What a git.) are once a generation events. A religious upbringing should be punishable as severe child abuse.
Given the current state of worldwide economics I think we're more likely to see more people acting in a similar manner to the Chinese systems first.
The only way the OP could possibly make any headway would be to find the main influencer in the Chinese office (probably the most senior manager, but not necessarily) and first befriend him (No, not him/her. This is China) which would involve several fancy dinners, large quantities of alcohol (beijou suffices between Chinese, but from a foreigner they will expect something more expensive) and visits to local "massage parlors".
Once befriended he could be convinced that the software situation was an inconvenience for version control, or communication or something. Anything that doesn't involve the law. Once the law is mentioned it'll all be brushed off with a "not a problem, not serious".
Of course, were OP dumb enough to let an unblemished corporate key fall into the hands of the Chinese office it would be sold to the local beige box assembler within the day.
The point of the grandparent's installs was to have machines with limited privileges. The USB port lockout alone would be sufficient to ensure the eradication of the install.
The OP never mentioned having the authority to fire anyone from the Chinese office. If it came to it though, nothing other than firing the entire staff and replacing them with an all-western crew would suffice.
And your analogy fails completely on the basic piracy != theft test.
Think of it more as "Here is a company car you must use, which has its stereo, sunroof, ac and electric windows disabled for no reason we can convince you of. No, we don't want you to go and buy an identical copy with all features enabled, because our law says it's bad".
>> play by your rules. Dude. Wrong. One word : China.
Three hours, three hours tops. That's how long your locked down machines would last before they were wiped clean and reinstalled from whatever cracked windows media they prefer. Including your fancy-schmancy-linux scanner system. It'd be running xp, vista or windows 7 RC1 before you reached the airport.
This is China. The rules are different here. For starters, law is irrelevant. All laws. All the time. Cold-blooded pre-planned murder is a debatable situation here depending on who you know. The only actually arrestable offense is annoying a police officer or someone with a hold over police officers.
Check out over two thirds of the listings on any 'odd jobs' website.
This sort of work under the name "writing" makes up the majority of what gets advertised.
Between those and the "Copy a Website in its Entirety" jobs there's barely any room left for the "scan and send magazines on the night they're released" work.
The whole operation is horrendously complicated, with dozens of potential failures at each point, and no realistic means of allowing for such failures. Every step would have to function perfectly, or we've just sent another multi-billion paperweight to a dead planet.
Whatever happened to KISS?
The engineer who proposed this really needs to look into alternate fields of employment. I suggest Fecal Matter Relocation.
Yeah... One person here in China hasn't heard of Orwell. Hence he is obviously a banned author. Your logical deduction lacks logic. And deduction.
Here in China the only western authors (of the last 200 years) reliably known are David Beckham and Margaret Mitchell. There is no reason to expect more than one in ten thousand Chinese citizens to have ever considered the possibility that they might be interested in reading a book written outside of China (Translated Manga excepted).
The culture censors its reading and viewing choices far more effectively than the government ever could. Not by prohibiting material, but simply by not acknowledging its existence.
Sure, half assed "couriering" loses stuff, but that's because it's not couriering. FedEx is not a courier company. It's a private mail company.
Couriering means that one person takes responsibility for the parcel/message and remains with it until it reaches it's destination. Preferably physically bonded to it.
Basically, if you know who has it, and you know where their family lives, then it's couriering.
Screw the IT angle. There's no financial benefit, and negative security benefit to be gained by setting up some one-off secure virtual network for a one-off event.
The only sensible method for delivering this is encrypted on a dvd-r in a case chained to a security professional's wrist, accompanied by n+ armed escorts, where n is a factor of the public value of the data.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a professional courier.
Your babble has been refuted dozens of times since you started "blessing" us with your presence here. You are a liar who spouts a chunk of babble in response to every piece of evidence that disagrees with you and your bearded sky faerie, and claims that as the evidence disagrees with the babble that the evidence is by definition wrong, and that this somehow proves the babble right.
I've stopped wasting the effort on you. You are a lost cause. But your dangling is still amusing.
(Footnote for any sentients that might read this: The parent post is by a very special troll named Kartune which has taken it on itself to correct the universe (starting with Slashdot) regarding the infallibility of the Wholly Babble, the vast conspiracy that forces the religion of Darwinism into the schools and the lack of need for rational thought as it only leads people to doubt the bearded sky faeries word and blaspheme by suggesting that the Earth might not have been created fully formed around about tea-time on a Tuesday 5,197 years ago. In June).
No-one can discredit your posts, and I need not waste the effort. You thoroughly discredit yourself long before anyone else gets the chance (which really isn't playing fair).
It leaves us rational sentient types facing the task of having to de-leg a snake or de-fang an earthworm. Understandably most just declare "job done" and walk away, but you amuse me.
I do thank you for the inspiration to proceed with my work though. 19 of the 33 I have approached thus far have seen fit to blaspheme the allegedly Holy Spirit thus far. Good work.

It begs the question, could this [allegedly] historical book [the wholly babble, which is historical only in the sense that it's been around for a while and is no longer even slightly relevant] actually be true? If so, what does it teach and tell us?
Given that it's been repeatedly proven false the first allegedly begged question is easily answered "No", rendering the second question irrelevant and also easily answered "Nonsense and fairy tales respectively".
Let's not forget the approved murders, the restraint of women, the slavery, the torture, the ostracizing... Remember, your little suicidal Jewish messiah (who according to himself came for the Jews, not for you) stated that he was not un-writing or ending one word of the pre-existing laws (That is, the old testament plus everything else stored in the temple's libraries).
Biblical Christian belief is extremely bloodthirsty.

Making you what? A beggar? A loser dependant on handouts at the costs of your betters?
Sorry, but you are factually incorrect.
In all areas other than media China has full-fledged de-regulated capitalism with all the brakes off.

How long do you plan to live?
1.95 seconds wasted per right-click would take a sizable chunk out of my life's productivity.
I wonder who trained him in this parroted buck shifting?
And how strong is the evidence that he was at the wheel and not his drunk dad/mom?

Let us hope so. Damn mindless hordes and their idiotic effluent.
Still here, still getting through. Nice try though. (Not).
