That why I'm glad to live in America, where we still use the good old pound. Now all I have to do it sit back and watch your metric world unravel.
Submission + - HP cuts workforce by 5% last year as some leave for GM (computerworld.com)
dcblogs writes: Hewlett-Packard's reduced its workforce last year by 17,800 employees, more than half-way to its restructuring goal. But some key IT workers left unexpectedly and have taken jobs with HP customer, General Motors. HP employed 331,800 worldwide as of Oct. 31. It plans to cut 29,000 by the end of 2014. GM, which outsourced its IT for years to EDS, announced plans last year to in-source its IT. HP acquired EDS in 2008. On Nov. 30, 18 employees of HP's Global Information Technology Organization in Austin "resigned en masse and without notice" and "immediately began working for General Motors in Austin in GM's new IT Innovation Center," according to court papers. HP is asking the court for approval to depose some of the exiting workers to determine whether employment contracts were violated. "HP expects that additional resignations will follow as the departed employees will likely seek to build out their teams by filling in with subordinate employees from HP," the company said.

When you are willing to let your people starve and work them as slave labor, then kill them, sanctions doesn't really matter. What is the saying, I don't care about money, give me minions. This will continue until China steps in or the country revolts, which due to the level of imprisonment, propaganda, force, and international apathy is unlikely. Think about it. Who will be responsible to clean up the mess if the country falls? China? The US? Its easier to just let them be.

So I did some more looking and it really is a death trap. The wheels are still exposed, and the steel is at most 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, which would easy be penetrated by an AK-47 or an Nato 556 round. It is really just a death trap.

WOW, this is not a tank, its a death trap. An old diesel car with light steel construction? I wouldn't drive this to my local geto grocery store much less a war zone with real tanks and explosives. Nice try, but fail...

Comment Will they even post it afer its law? (Score 1) 150
I wonder if they will even post it after its law. I would think that would make it very convenient for the state.
State: Sir your under arrest for violation of a law you've never heard of or seen.
Guy: Um, ok. Can I see the law now?
State: No.
Guy: How am I going to have a trail?
State: Heh, No, no, you still don't understand, go directly to jail, do not pass go, and pay us $200 along your way.
This seems like a very slippy slope.
