The problem is that she may be "right" about her grandfather. There are many sites where such coexistent "footprints" have been found, All of them have been proven to be false, either accidental or fraud.

So if she has only family legend to go by, then she is actually correct. Only her grandfather's interpretation was incorrect.
One local USB, one Network disk placed right by the exit in case I need to abandon ship in a hurry (Bushfire area). Backing up 1.3 terabytes twice consumes backup day. For the rest of the year I do incremental backups. Even if both backups were lost data could be recovered from the cloud.
Not only that, Afghanistan was not invaded to procure Bin Laden either.
It may not have been in the USA news but the Taliban offered to turn Bin Laden over to the UN to tried by international court. They would not turn him over to the US because the US would not supply even the informal required to extradite someone from which the US does have a treaty (such as the UK, Aus, NZ and many, many more (but not Afghanistan). They (the Taliban) asked for the evidence to extradite or if not then they would turn him over to the UN. Despite being a crazed and despotic government they actually did the morally correct thing.
As soon as they did this the invasion began. Bin Ladin was just an excuse. The real reason is wanting to build a pipeline across Afghanistan to carry oil from the far east.
What happened to both countries were, and are, war crimes. Not only that it was a crime against the people of the United States
This is not a conspiracy theory. The evidence is open and clear. It is just being ignored.
Not so much. You would be looking for matching entry and exit times from the logs of your compromised servers. Eventually you will track down your mark. You don't actually need the route.
I think you make a mistake. The extreme right are dishonest assholes too.
And there are some honest leftists and socialists as well as a few rightwingers. There are some with principles. But politics brings out the worst in both sides. Nevertheless I prefer those who at least are forced to maintain the image of having a social conscience rather than those that don't. Government should be "for the people" even if it isn't "by the people".
However anything works that minimises the disparity of wealth. If you look at countries and time and places both the country and the people are are most successful and happy when that disparity of wealth is the least. Despite any politics
I actually meant the part that King George of England had in the formation of the USA but yes, very yes to all of your points.
Democracy is a tradition and a culture not a political system and a culture takes generations to change. Democracy cannot be imposed. Any attempt to do so will bring disaster.
Okay, disclosure. I am an Australian as is/was Murdoch. I have been alive through most of his business manipulations. I was once even an infinitesimal part of his empire. Never in my life have I known him to do anything altruistic. Everything is/was based on self interest. I wouldn't consider him liberal in any way. Even when he appears liberal it is based in self interest or maintaining power in both camps. Someone who appears liberal when the wind blows that way is not a liberal to me. A liberal has to be liberal in principle; has to have liberal principles and not switch as the wind blows. Murdoch has never appeared to fit this image. So I cannot see Murdoch as a liberal. Not in any way.
In order to defeat Tor you need to control or have the logs from only 1% of exit points. There is about 3,000 active at anytime. The use of Tor will not protect you from a serious nation state who have the ability to compromise 300 servers. It will protect you from local police authorities but not a national security organisation.
There are means to take it further but they are lengthy, time consuming and expensive. Not something many individuals could accomplish.
That will remain true until that are a couple of orders of magnitude more exit points
Just as a point of interest can you name any countries that transitioned from a barbaric state to a civilised without a dictator or tyrant being involved? The US maybe an exception to this but then there was the tyrant George.
The more usual course was the one that Iraq was following, a tyrannical rule that led eventually to more and greater freedoms for the populace. It takes a tyrant to create order which is then a single point the populace can aim at rather than a group of local warlords that just change over over time.
You got your information wrong. Iraq was not destroyed because it had anything to do with 9/11. Iraq had nothing to do with it. Saddam Hussein was an opponent of Al Quaida. Iraq was destroyed because Hussein presumed to sell oil for Euros thus elimination the world wide requirement to purchase US dollars to buy oil which would decrease the US economy if the use of Euros became widespread.
The use of torture appears to be continuing to this day. The user 1s33c (correct or incorrect) was pointing out current, not ancestral, practices. Nor did the user say anything about his country of origin.
So what exactly did you mean by your post? Was it an attempt to obfuscate the issue?
Well, recently parts of Queensland really have been like the third world. Yet friends in Rockhampton, Yepoon and Bundaberg reported to me no degradation or loss of service from Optus while every other phone carrier lost it. Not that I necessarily recommend Optus.
Oh, most comparisons don't work but some do. I once lived in a (mining) town where if you had drawn a circle of a hundred miles radius there would only have been about 5,000 people inside that circle. Internet was dial up at about 6 bits per second. But nowadays it has good cellphone coverage. Within a few more years everyone who does not have fibre to their home will have a radio equivalent with less than satellite lag. (Google "Australia NBN"). Oh! And nine tenths desert would probably be more accurate than fifty percent. Depends on what you call desert I guess.
But what I was originally alluding to is the comment about Europeans coming to grips with size and distance. I once heard a pommie in a pub mention he was a long haul lorry driver and seem proud of it. When I joked that he must have a lot of stamps in his passport he replied than no, he had never needed a passport. Apparently a hundred miles was a "long haul". In many places in Australia that wouldn't have got you to the next petrol (gas) station. Check out "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Highway" you might find it entertaining.
That never occurred to me. All those different standards. We did have CDMA here also for a while but it never really caught on and (I think) that the government eventually took back its spectrum.
There are some advantages to having the government in control of some things. Every function that has been returned to or sold to private enterprise has suffered. We now have toll roads, electrical failures are common, public transport is too expensive to use etc, etc., ad nauseam. There are some advantages to government monopolies and regulations in some areas.
We had a government toll bridge in Melbourne once and they collected tolls for several years - until they figured out that ninety percent of the tolls were spent on collecting it. So they just dropped it. Improved traffic flow increased its carrying capacity and sped up transport considerably
Turns out that government inefficiencies are often better than private enterprise efficiencies and profit.
Actually I am "overage". But nevertheless I don'y find coverage bad here. Okay, so in lots of places when you are off the main roads or halfway up a mountain the roadside coverage is spotty or bad but when I am playing tourist I don't really care. In the towns or main roads coverage is pretty good considering "the tyranny of distance". What carrier are you using? I have noticed that some are vastly better than others.
I am in Australia. I have a minimal plan. Found overage wherever I want to go. Australia is the size of the USA (possibly excluding Alaska) but has less than one tenth of the population. We seem to do OK.
But have you succeeded? There are different definitions of success. And what makes you think that people in other countries are stupid or lazy?
My point stands. Even in the USA "most" people do not have the "luxury" that you do. And day by day fewer people will be able to maintain that state of "luxury". Remember, karma is a bitch.
It seems to me that nothing is more stupid than playing a negative sum game, win or lose.
An example of this is that our politicians (not yours) built a desalination plant recently - powered by fossil fuel. You cannot solve a problem by making things worse long term. It just compounds the problem for everyone
Overconsumption is a negative sum game. It always was and always will be. It just reduces the size of the pie for everyone. Keep it up and there won't be any pies left for anyone.
Leaders, particularly world leaders should set good examples not bad ones. It is in their own best interest and everyone else's too.
Fair enough. I was intemperate to a degree. But I was getting fed up with people crapping on apple for what I see as no good reason. My three kids have iPhones. One is now four years old and none have battery issues. Do e a favour and ask the people who do have the battery issues if they took Apple's advice and fully discharged their phones at least once a month from new. My guess is that they did not and thus reduced the batteries life by not doing this. Most rechargeable batteries have their flaws or idiosyncrasies.It is wise to follow the manufacturers recommendations to maximise battery lifetime. Apple recommends (on their website) that for maximum battery lifetime you fully discharge at least once a month. The advice I gave my kids and follow myself is that the first time the battery gets low each month is to play video on full brightness until it karks it (dies) and then to charge it to full. They do this and none of us has had any issues.
Most people (on this world) don't get enough to eat. But I guess they are not real people to you. And the fact that you are consuming their part of the world to support your unconscionable waste doesn't bother you? I've got news for you. It isn't your freedoms they hate you for.

Any funds there repatriated are taxable. That is one of the current problems. Multinationals can 'repatriate' to countries with low tax rates.

I don't see how this argument applies.

Just wondering how you could possibly come to that conclusion.
Thank you for the correction.
