to read Russian space-tech related forums, you'll be pretty sure that Angara is a scam. They won the tender(many years ago) with one design, replaced it later with another (probably the only common thing for both designs is that they're rocket designs) and did nothing to implement either of those designs. This: Russian space officials have said single-use spacecraft like the Soyuz-TM currently used are cheaper and more practical still indicates that Russian space agency has not gone haywire yet, and may be capable of producing something useful in the future, but Angara is very unlikely to be one of those useful things
It takes someone a lot more experienced (or at least someone with much more common sense) than you to successfully disappear abroad. I see absolutely no reason why she's such a person.
While tubes are simple in concept, the amount of chemistry, metallurgy, and material science that went into making reliable vacuum tubes was simply astounding.
Ok, ok! Back to relays. I like them better anyway, they click.
Don't let the world map confuse you. There are no roads and almost no people if you're entering through Bering Straits. That's only slightly better than entering Russia via North Pole... If you want to slip in unnoticed you've got to do that through the south.
If you're thinking about Alaska, think again. Once you enter Russia from the east, you're in the territory that's about as populated as Arctic ocean. Everyone who happens to meet her there, will remember her.
We have 12 million illegal Mexicans in this country and I don't know how many other ethnic illegals.
This is totally unrelated to the case. You can't get to Russia by hopping over the fence. You've got to hop over Atlantic Ocean. Chances are someone's gonna notice you doing that. You've got to board a plane, you've got to cross 2 borders. You'll leave quite a few traces in several databases, lot's of people will see you on the way. If you're smart you'll forge your documents, disguise yourself, exit through Mexico(preferably illegaly), enter through Ukraine(preferably illegaly again), but what are the chances that some random woman does just that? She's not a seasoned criminal, right?
Can't hide over there
Nowdays KGB is ruthless, corrupt, barely competent and have absolutely no respect for the law. If she's got someone with some serious money (or better with money and brains) to care about her, she can hide for as long as she likes. Provided that she's really in Russia, which I find really doubtful. It's kind of hard to slip to the other side of the globe unnoticed, especialy when there's no overland route
you'd better be bracing youself in preparation to Web 2.0 code developed by an Indian outsourcing companies, with even more defiance of logic thanks to lower entry barrier for new programming languages.
To run VS/.net combo you need something like wine, not something like mono. To get productivity boost, you need better dev tools/libs, not necessarily MS-like. Making those tools crucially dependant on MS is not very smart move.
I can assure you that this: Russia is not so simple. First, Putin is enormously popular in Russia.
is the result of brainwashing that would make soviet leaders envious.
Polls consistently show that people a)strongly dislike just about anything government(really, Putin) does b)love Putin
b) is the result of brainwashing. If Putin decides that the internet is a threat to him (=enough people can get news via the internet instead of tv) he'll do whatever it takes to control the internet (including cutting off Russian internet from the rest of the world, if needed)
GPL2 is a license, an so is GPL3. It has its merits and drawbacks. You don't have to follow the cult to use them. I, personally, like GPL2, while I don't share RMS views in general. And I hope GPL3 will turn even better, although only years of practical use will show if it's true. Treat GPLn as a contract, not a philosophy and the cult will have no place in your life:)
Graphics do make games better, but that could be not enough difference (I had fun with my atari2600, you insensitive clod!) to justify the price. You don't buy some extreme gamer $10k computers, do you? Besides, as I've found out thanks to my deteriorating eyesight, people are beautiful in low resolution.

they'll just be sued for another made-up reason
He's a spy (and a miserable one), what do you expect from him?
Where are the flying cars?
They've flown away for the winter
Tried it, doesn't work either. I'm setting my hopes for commuting underground, although I've yet to figure out how to do that.

Don't you read Slashdot?
I don't get it
That's why you're not in marketing:)

Don't worry. You're not paranoid; I sometimes think the same.
Now I'm scared. We already have two paranoids - in one slashdot article discussion!

There are no significant money in Dating Services. Hence, there are only petty criminals involved. Not a lot of help, if you're hiding from police.

The chances of her being in Russia are just plain reasonable
People don't fly anonymously, do they? Isn't it easy to check if she's left the country?
Lovely sig, by the way

But is the police in Russia actually going to look for her?
No, unless you bribe them.

1. Help Iran build some nukes
2. Watch oil/gas prices skyrocket
4. Profit!
The only problem with this plan is that 3 ??? doesn't fit in.

jokes aside, Russia is far from being a forefront of internet censorship, thanks to outrageous incompetence of government officials
