Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.  Occam’s razor would suggest the simplest versions of truth are the most likely to be true.  This article is a counter claim to the Christian Science Monitors article about the GPS system being spoofed and the drone being owned.

For those with an interest in information technology in particular and other fascinating technology/science stories will really enjoy this site, it’s been part of my daily read for a decade at least.  The British humour/vernacular is an added bonus.

Forbes magazine has an article about the dangers of doing business in China.

This guy, David Ji seemed to be a pro.  He built a $ billion +  DVD importing business.

He went back there to sort out a billing dispute last year. 
A major supplier who he had a deal with ousted their CEO and replaced him with a party crony.
Ji was siezed by police in his hotel. 
They have not let him come back.

He’s not the only one.

since the population has little fear of war compared to Europe, the people would undoubtedly support such a war by a majority or at least 50/50.

i didnt read every post but this comment just makes me laugh.
Japan doesnt want to go to war. The state in their constitution that they will never attack only out of selve defense. The 100 Japanese military are there just to do reconstruction and are portected by the dutch in the region. Only This has caused an criticism. I dont know why you think Japan would gladly go into a war and double their army? Yes some politicians want to lose that law. but i dont see this happening any time soon. They may alter it to assist in peacekeepers, but joining a war i dont think so.

They can withdraw men from S-Korea, Germany, Japan but i think this is already done.
oh and if the US doesnt attack unilateral all the time it wont need this much troops.

thats a horses ass, and yes he said it, but its not his joke. its a pretty common one, one of those that just springs up and no one knows from where. the amish one probably came first ,and undoubtedly, the arab one came after 9/11 or something

Well, I can give you some human impressions. I studied Mathematics in Birmingham, Alabama for 10 month. Though the German unemployment rate is bigger than the American, the people are far better off in Germany than in America. There is less poverty, there are fewer homeless and the education is far better.
There are more beggars on the street than here. There is much more crime in the cities. I spoke with lots of people in dept and living from paycheque to paycheque. The cars on the streets were old and damaged. The same is true for many houses I saw. The college is very expensive, but Math 101 is rediculous. An American Bachelor is maybe, just maybe, a little more than a Bavarian Abitur.

Since I’m still at college, I don’t work yet and thus can’t give you personal information on that.

ah
