Suckers

Oh well pity the poor suckers that bought into these crap downloads but undoubtedly google will show a few questionable programs to permanently remove this DRM anyway or numerous forums will spring up to give a few pointers in the appropriate direction as well !

Now that the next generation of real multitasking super home computers and laptops are coming none of which will be stressed in disposing of any form of current model DRM being sold , I guess the writing is on the wall but fools being the incompetent fools and adherents of the "Peter Principle" with empty vacant heads incapable of holding more then one thought a time , will always ignore the obvious !

The Problem Is

The problem is that with the super rich we tend to forget to run a huge chain of Hotels like the Hilton it is in reality a combination of both directly owned and a number of exclusive owner owned and operated franchised banner operations at the same time ! So effectively it allows for increase flexibility of limited capital with long term development loans on the core assets whilst simultaneously not over capitalising fixed assets called land and buildings and fixtures within the Hotel Chain itself !

We also tend to forget in large organization spread over the continents the assets of both the hidden partners and the franchised hotel owners tend to be lumped under one unifying banner and the figures are then arbitrarily assigned to one person to make their wealth look impressive , yet in real terms it is not wholly owned or operated by any one man but a series of partners , thus when this partnership is dissolved the wealth is disbursed accordingly because no one man held the entire chain assets in one hand anyway and it also allows for a large paper assigned numeric value to be put on the Banner Name associated with the entity in question !

One Classic example is Rupert Murdoch who owns a very small percentage of his media empire where it's full value is nominally assigned to him but he ensures that the dual shareholding system of dividend stock which is sold to the general public at the stock market is truly separate from the vested voting shares which he rigorously controls as to whom and where they are allocated ! Routinely we see him labelled as a billionaire and yet his divorce financial papers submitted for judgement with first wife Elizabeth show his wealth in a totally different light when compared to the so called Forbes Rich List Figures !

Ah figures can do many things including creating an artificial disguise from reality !

As for her claimed annual income , take it with a grain of salt , for the only real arbiter is your confidential tax filings in the various countries you have earned it thus and many countries have very high tax rates on exported incomes as well !

So it looks like she has to pay for the family Bentley after all !

Say did we not see this as a BBC comedy show !

Say did we not see this form of stupidity and crazy insane political double speak in the many episodes of both "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime Minister" back in the early early to late eighties where people rattled fake verbal sabres in the air so as to speak so as to appear to be doing something when in reality they are not lifting one finger as it is a no win for any party situation !

Those BBC comedy writers in that show truly had the measure of all politicians both of the day along with those yet to come whilst still mirroring the events of today as well , truly uncanny indeed !

Do the maths

Do the maths based upon total Internet users/ computers in use/sold the figures across 70 countries would indicate the infected persons with this illness would not even be close to 1 in 100,000 users on line at any one time !

Strange is it not the common garden variety motor car kills 1.2 million and maims another 12 million for life annually in the world we live in! Yet no call to ban these weapons of mass destruction from all roads but just up the fines paid by the drivers instead !

The gun kills another 3.5 million world wide but the only calls you hear are the police want bigger and better military grade assault weapons to defend themselves and then routinely exonerate themselves when they shoot the innocent bystanders , civilians on the other hand for the same crime are either executed of jailed for long terms !

We are fed that much propaganda in this new century yet no one including reporters question the numbers that authority figures dish out with out a pause to cover both their fellow colleagues evil deeds other assorted tracks and equally push hidden agendas from prying eyes as well ! The MET tried to do so recently over one very questionable shooting and almost got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky whistle blowers !

How sad it is that many silly people blindly take these figures as absolute gospel and appear to be unable to look behind the veil of misinformation when the the word child is included in the sentence. By using such a word you can thus stampede the fools in the direction you want , truly evil indeed !

But then again if I did a full complete tax audit on the entire German Police Force and trolled all their bank accounts and storage areas I would probably uncover ten times that number guilty of some transgression of the local laws !

US TKOs Antigua in bizarre WTO arbitration decision

@eduard

Funny you should mention credit card fraud , the funny thing is that all credit card companies in the US annually accrue stagnant bad debts from real users well in excess of ten times that which is lost to fraud (they fail to note that a majority of fraud on credit card in real terms is actually born by their merchants as the money is issued by with an escrow notice of withdrawal between sixty and ninety days hence , they not that stupid , as it is in all the merchant agreement fine print and sub clauses !)

Further the average two to three percent merchant user fees more then adequately cover these losses with one and half percent the actual cut point of system cost/losses/merchandising/stationary/electronic costs/staff costs and very bad repeat offender merchants are usually dumped under another agreement sub clause after they get their money back first !)

Since the banks operate on the usual cost plus 100% profit margin in strong economic times they do very nicely ! Although in the US since all banks or financial institutions who were involved in external agency mortgage brokers have currently zero cash reserves and are dependent on Fed Notes to tied them over(technically speaking most of these institutes are actually in breach of 1933 Banking Laws and are the bankrupt FDIC's worst nightmare coming true which covers credit funds to the value US $100K maximum ) it would be not improbable that they will slug the remaining viable customers by doubling or even tripling the fees and interest charges as the number of normal card user defaults rapidly increase to an abnormal sudden peak levels as the individuals with zero assets are made bankrupt by debt collecting agencies to take advantage of some very brutal wording in the new revised US Bankruptcy Laws in regard to income confiscation to repay their debts and fees !

Sadly of course they will also screw their normal viable business customers and undoubtedly they will force loan restructures , devalue existing assets , higher repayments new fees and the other crap so that they too will cover the financial institutes stupid and incompetent lending practices by hiring exterior brokers whose only income was derived from volume lending commission fees thus failing the standard Bankers Mantra "Only lend to those that can afford it" !

Given the billions screwed from the EU , to stop the total combustion of the US Financial and Banking system from closing it's doors permanently across the country , I would not be unsurprised that within less then 12 months from now card interest rates will hit at least 30% or may even go higher then that and all merchant fees will probably bumped by 50% or more to cover any additional losses as they struggle with massive debts and minimal covering assets !

What price the future or will it be duck and cover or roll over and die weather following a huge implosion or tidal wave ?

But then again

But then again they could have been invaded Grenada style because they allowed the god less Cubans to gamble on line as the boys with the big toys and small wangs always write the rules to suit themselves !

But unfortunately that particular unit that was earmarked has now been deployed to Iraq the day before to police the much troubled Green Zone Embassy exclusion zone in Baghdad on the same day the peanut shipment arrived in Antigua and the replacement unit is still awaiting a shipment of new hummers on a long back order(plenty of Exploders and Suburban's available though for some strange reason !)

Thus when it comes home again it will not have much in the way of mobility as what is left of their vehicles after the daily Baghdad down town rush hour will be in the scrap yard as those old bombs that the suicidal Saudi Nationals drive around in , in that town are a real killer at the best of time !

@john

@john if those pesky Russians were crap pilots then please explain the missing numbers of the cream of both USAF and the RAF pilots flying some very sophisticated heavily armed jet air craft were mysteriously lost in flying over many former Soviet Russian States back in the cold war or why the ratios were not so hot in the Korean War !

By the way in the same period how many Russian Military aircraft were shot down flying over the so called Western NATO Countries ?

One very unsophisticated Russian pilot pre training begins with all candidates subject to a high speed centrifuge G test prior to being placed in the appropriate training program where as the wankers in the west post test their pilots after their expensive training program before being moved to advanced jet trainers the two seat versions of the front line fighters !

You also forgot to mention a number of salient facts about what happened to an entire range of NATO aircraft including the ultra sophisticated F15E advanced model (not the crappy very long in the tooth older F15A with high flight hours as the nose section forward of the first Wing Spar frame section now tends to fall off in any G turn above 5 but that is another story for another day) for all these aircraft became canon and missile fodder to the so called lesser Russian counterparts !

Me thinks you have completely forgotten about the results of the last three years Asian Pacific War Games with the Indians supposedly flying the far less sophisticated export model Sukhoi SU-27 or how a small batch old MIG-29E's of the old East German Air Force post 1989 took out the best of the best in the European theatre for nearly a decade !

The problem in the west is that we suffer from the syndrome that if it was made behind the Iron Curtain and built by the Russians it can only be crap or rubbish ! , But how soon we forget the numerous assorted very expensive white elephants like "Blue Bolt" or the equally crap Bloodhound Ground to Air Missiles , the TRS2 or the two decades needed to iron out the bugs in the F111 to name but a few of the numerous late over designed and ten times overpriced rubbish and the lousy battle unready junk sold to equip our western armies on the Rhine or the many numerous extensive well documented military lemons made post WW2 ! How soon we forget western arms maker make far more expensive but very useless play toys that cost between ten and a hundred times more then their Russian equivalents !

What price a choice indeed !

Oh well

Oh well just another piece of canon fodder for the more versatile and cheaper Russian Sukhoi given that it's original parent the 27 model could in real time both out fly and out shoot the entire complement of NATO air craft sent up to shoot it down for breakfast lunch and dinner and then some !

Mind you to say those pesky Siberian Russian Bears in the Arctic Circle can build a better fighter cheaper then the wankers in the west will undoubtedly start a flaming match !

The only polite thing to say about those brain dead wankers at that bank is that they routinely seek out and employ many more of the same identical idiot clones as themselves who at best know no more then one percent of everything in every field and at every skill level as they make those with an IQ less then 75 look quite intelligent !

The bank is a living testament to the "Peter Principle" and would even make all those one cent in the dollar Kiwi's from the twin islands of the South Pacific beneath the continuous white fog bank quite proud as to how cheap they can go !

Oh well we were warned way back in 1968 !

Oh well in the last disorganized financial credit rabble I worked in , in a fit of stupid cost cutting exercises which cost essentially between ten and a hundred times more than they actually saved in real terms they employed a recent batch of mismanagement graduates fresh out the university creche who ended up with a uniform knowledge base of one percent of everything to fill their single brain celled minds !

In a fit of insanity for a ludicrous cost cutting exercise due to a gross marketing budget blow out(due to a number of co-incidental but unrelated factors the campaign captured a guesstimated seventy percent of all phone users and ninety percent of OZ regular plane travellers , well above the modest targeted twenty percent of the market share sought) they filled the organization with these inexperienced brain dead graduate wankers that everyone else had by passed and ignored as it was not half obvious they would be never more than total idiots or morons and a waste of space at the best of times ! Remember these are the same wankers who had forgotten to ask the critical question as to why a vast majority of their teachers would have amounted to a zero sum equation in the real world of business out side of the school of useless unrealistic theories of everything of what management should be they taught as fact rather than the fiction it really is !

Unfortunately these cheap mismanagement rejects were hired for a stupid cost cutting exercise(you get what you pay for and pay for what you get) and thus not unsurprisingly they promptly replicated and place additional one percent clones of themselves into every corner possible !

Since they were at best only ever knew or wanted to know was one percent of the job at all times with the other ninety nine percent representing a waste of space in every conceivable way possible they created a mess that some five years on is still unresolved up to this point in time !

Anyway , the leader of these craven cowardly idiots once decided to use a staff member who was borderline to a mental breakdown due to a variety of stressful reasons in order to use the Staff annual reports to deny staff a fair pay rise ! This person unfortunately went on a very extended stress sick leave shortly there after from the staff backlash to her poor negative one sided efforts and remains thus even now ! Alas she had been told to fix them at low unrealistic levels on a false promise of a job which had already been filled by some one else selected by the chief moron in charge ! Undoubtedly, maybe he knew in his black heart that had he done them himself as he should have done and not questionably delegate them as he did , the result would have blown up in his face directly before he could muster out his real upcoming unmitigated disaster ! One could think perhaps , as he may have already known deep down the staff always understood the situation far better then he ever could have or would have in his entire life to come , what an absolute clown that he was and remains so even now !

To cut a long story short , one of the thick planks they hired who had messed up every management job leading up to the big one(nice to have relatives above you to cover your ass so as to speak) ending up running away back to the twin islands of the white shroud in the pacific to continue on with his version of idiocracy and the chief leader of the pack of these idiots fled to old blighty to do the same to a nameless English Bank in take over mode currently .

Interestingly the two ringleaders of the disaster just managed to flee ahead of a forming lynch mob ! Unfortunately a number of their former co-conspirators were too dumb to realise the jig was up and when discovered they were equally bigger wastes of spaces , they were dispensed with and made redundant just after these wankers had run away rather then face the music for their stupidity and basic incompetence 101 !

Way back in 1968 . we were warned about this in a book called the "Peter Principle" and even the grand old dame "Lillian Moller Gilbreth" may have tried to warn us as well !

Idiocracy here we come with open arms !

NASA reveals manned Mars mission plans

sadly

Sadly the one small problem being overlooked is that since George Bush has given the US taxpayers the insoluble problem of funding an endless oil war and incrementing the US National Debt by a minimum of two trillion dollars per annum !

Thus by 2031 , those pesky Yankees will have either totally bankrupted the country into absolute insolvency with a National Debt of well in excess fifty trillion dollars ! So by then the average insolvent American could not even afford a paper clip let alone lift one gram into orbit thus sending a manned mission to Mars would be literally impossible in those circumstances !

By the way given the duration and the mission work load requirements for a three to four year round trip , we would be looking at a minimum crew of at least twenty four or more individuals at least !

The other aspect has been shown in reality that unmanned robotic missions like Mars Rover are the most cost effective way of doing things as they are fully capable of providing the same information for the least amount of risk !

for example

First offence 10% of all shares held

Second offence 20% of all shares held

Third offence 50% of all shares held

One would say after the second offence all senior staff responsible for the debacle would cease to be employable in any industry and on committing a third offence would be lucky to keep the shirts on their backs as they would be leaving the front door so fast that their assets would be reclaimed before they got down the first step toward the pavement to join the permanent unemployable queue !

As always the punishment should fit the crime !

Alas just another dud

Alas due to a kick up the bum by the paying punters , they have since decided to abandon that second rate also ran idea , as one that would not work until when sheep tossing becomes a national sport after thrashing all kiwis in any other sport !

Although a certain senior Victorian politician who is currently sailing in a sea of contemptible troubled waters has become somewhat reluctant to spill the beans on what appears to be some shady or questionable deals with Greeks bearing gifts so as to speak !

Alert

Finnish or Liberian revenge ?

MS Explorer was a relatively small vessel of 2398 tonnes displacement built in Finland in 1969 originally called the MS Linblad Explorer and was the first custom designed vessel to take well heeled tourists to the frozen wastelands both north and south !

In it's illustrious career it has had several name changes by successive owners(ask any ordinary mariner that to change the name of any sailing vessel bodes ill omens at a future date)

Oh well looks like the maritime gods did not take too kindly to it's shortened name !

So the only real way to hide text is to hide in plain sight within pictures as you cannot extract the data from within without the original !

And the only other way to be a whistle blower is to use a different Internet Cafe every time and one in which you can add file attachments via a USB key port !

What price a choice ?
