That's pretty sanitized, as opposed to People's Republic of China - a reminder that they are, in fact a totalitarian oligarchy (remembering that "few" in 1,360 million is in absolute terms quite a lot).
On average four or five ice fishing deaths occur in North America every winter, usually the result of a combination of thin ice, too much booze and not enough brains.
Too many people expend too much effort saving such few people.
By that logic, I can burn my mortgage papers, stop paying it and when the bank forecloses, tell them that I don't accept the authenticity of their documents,
Thus, the question: are you actually so stupid as to think that would work?
If a national bank decided to destroy a large amount of debt records and then simply refused to acknowledge foreign debts without extensive documentation?
Your logic is completely ass backwards, since the foreigners will have the original loan records, not the Argentines.
what's wrong with the odd counterfeiter making high quality fakes, just as long as we all (not just we in the US, but everywhere that US currency is circulated) share in the mutual hallucination?
Already have that, which is the XFCE equivalent of a "static" Start Menu.
What I want is a "dynamic" Applications Menu that allows one to "pin" applications to the Applications Menu just as Windows lets one "pin application to Start Menu".
I'd like to have something like the Win 7 Start Menu, but XFCE with the Panel on the bottom is (a) Good Enough, and (b) easy on the brain, since I frequently switch between my Linux box and the company's Windows 7 Enterprise laptop that sits right next to it.

didn't the Congress vote to cut it'd funding?
Spoooooonnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!
(My daughter loves that show!)
the rest of the world (or at least: countries in Europe, at this stage) will just find a way to bypass it.
Not when ordinary Europeans want to use Google & Facebook.
The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.
While in theory true, that hasn't actually been true in 20 years, if ever.
There are two governments that claim to be the legitimate government of all of China: one located on the mainland, and one located in Taiwan.
But only one of them is on the mainland. So maybe "the writer" has pro-Nationalist sympathies... ;)
Authoritarian, yes. Totalitarian, no.
After reading more, I agree: the PRC is Authoritarian.
these two things are not the same thing at all.
Hmmm. They're pretty damned similar.
Not sure what you mean by "sanitised".
You're presumably a smart guy for saying "words mean things". Soft-soap the name of the government for long enough, and people forget what it is.

Metric isn't hard. Remembering little-used conversion values is.
Cry instead for the 48% who think that Astrology isn't utter bunk.
Oh, right; cm not mm. :(
I'm still not crying a river...
I'm not exactly crying a river of despondent tears.

might not be invasion worthy, but it could offer a pretext.
It's 2014, not 1914.

The stupidity of your comment is in fetishising the CIA. They really aren't the only people capable of acting badly.
25 KM will easily be covered by currents.
Implying that the current flows from the dump site towards the reef?
I'm willing to honor my promises.
Promise to do what? It's not a commodity-based currency, so it's not as if anyone will be walking up to a bank and demanding gold for their dollars.

Quick access to frequently used programs. It's a personal preference, so I'm not going to argue about which form of "quick access" is the best.
I think so. Thanks!

No version of OpenOffice[.org] or LibreOffice has met my demands as well yet.
What are those demands?
Switching to OpenOffice would probably cost them more in training then they would save in 20 years of licensing fees.
As opposed to the relearning time wasted when I was forced to upgrade from MSO 2007 to 2010?
Thus, I say that "oh, the retraining costs" is a red herring.
still need men around to open jars
Jar openers were invented a long time ago.
