    If you want the client to render something complex, a web browser is the wrong tool. You should write a client application.

    Wasn't that what Java was supposed to be for (after it was supposed to be for set-top boxes, but before it was supposed to be the new C0807)?

  2. Fleeced? on Some Trump Donors Get Fleeced By 3rd-Party Payment System · · Score: 1

    Fleeced? I wonder if the pun's intentional. I always thought it looked more like a dead cat, but I suppose it could be a bit of sheepskin.

    And honestly, I don't think the terms 'colonialism' and 'imperialism' are too strong for the corporate dominance trends I'm seeing every day.

    If anything, the focus of the article is too narrow. Data isn't even the half of it.

    And Germany even with all its occupied territories couldn't feed that number of starved Soviet (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarus) peasants.

    Do you even know what a peasant is? It's a farmer. Farmers can feed themselves, thank you very much, with a bit to spare. The trick is to not burn their farms, kill their animals and loot their equipment.

    If it was an easy task, with all the arable land and manpower, Soviets would have organised themselves to eradicate the hunger,

    Actually, Soviet "organisation" caused a famine that killed, by some estimates, as many as the Nazi holocaust. That's in a region so naturally fertile - provided you don't intentionally fuck it up - that it was called the breadbasket of the Russian empire.

    Anyone with a professional job would know that an at risk opportunity is an opportunity to make money that has a relatively high risk of not working out.

    I think even some sales people would get it, given time.

    Consider an arms race. Think of a degree as being like the atom bomb. If you've got one you're ahead. If the other guy's got one, he's ahead. If you've both got one it's the same as if neither of you has. Well, except for what you spent getting it.
