And you could have been a propagandist for one of the West Bloc regimes, twisting even entirely government-created problems into the fault of businesses and individual liberty. There is not much difference, except "Slightly greater plausible deniability that works on people like you.", your post confirms grandparent's point.

That was really funny, it's like saying "Untill this sheep will keep voting for Brezhnev.."

Sure Russia rather wolf than rabbit, and territory of eastern Ukraine was part of that wolf for centuries. We have shared history, traditions and language with majority of people who live there - we are Russians. It has nothing to do with USSR. Ukraine and Belarus divided from Russia because USSR lost cold war and collapsed by administrative borders that were drawn by bolsheviks without much thoughts. Reunification of Russia with eastern Ukraine would be like reunification of eastern and western Germany - in fact we were the same state before Germany even existed.

I don't like the rule of mr. Putin for lots of reasons, most of so called western democracies is not better in my point of view - anyway rulers come and go but Russia will remain, and I want it to be big and strong, wolf rather than a rabbit - just for fun, like some people want their favourite sport team to win - go go Russia!
I'm living in Thailand and check news from both sides.

Current Ukrainian government is a result of US meddling and is fully backed by US, who, incidentally, found the guilty side right after the incident. Western media presents mostly one sided view in this war - rebels are bad, and they are actually disguised Russian send to destroy young democracy personally by mr. Putin, Ukrainian government is all so democratic, when they are shelling cities full of civil population - it just does not happen to be on TV. So the risk of world condemnation for Ukrainian government is minimal. It is very convenient incident in a right time.

How is your salary at U.S. Department of State? Enough for peanuts?

Rebels had shoot down an Ukrainian transport at much lower attitude, during landing. It is still unclear if they have technical ability to shoot a plane flying at 10km attitude, and why would the do it also remains unclear - there were lots of civil planes flying there, do you think they would just randomly shoot at anything in hopes to bring down Ukrainian military transport? Ukrainian military shooting it to get international support sounds more plausible.

Anyway it's safer to run everything in separate VM's
I guess javascript implementation is possible?

I've been to Crimea a few years back, and IMO 97% can be true in this case. A few reasons:
Crimea was russian territory until Chrushev gave it to Ukraine about 50 years ago. Everybody speaks russian there, most of crimeans think of themselves as russians.
In Crimean cities people get water from the tap couple of times a day, electricity is also unstable.
Pensions, salaries to public servants about twice higher in Russia.
Ukraine did not invest much, if at all, to local public services - public transport was still from USSR times, etc.

Ah it's just elliptic orbit. Anyway TFA says it's 80 km above surface, ~170 km on tracking page.

According to http://www.n2yo.com/?s=34602 satellite is now 174 km above the surface and ascending!

Viber is Skype in earlier phase of development - it's proprietary software with closed protocol. Give them some time to get user base and they will sell it out to highest bidder. What's the point of using it instead of Skype?

One more article on the topic

"A runaway greenhouse could in theory be triggered by increased greenhouse forcing, but anthropogenic emissions are probably insufficient."

Wrong - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_climate_change#Current_risk

Exactly. My 87 years old granddad use skype. Skype is the single non-opensource piece of software I have installed on my laptom, BTW all bunch of 32-bit compatibility libs are installed on my system only because of skype. I hate it, but there are no workarounds, I need it.

I hope something will force Microsoft to open Skype protocol.

According to initial tweet on Russian he'll be supporting one of non-government internet portals - more like system administrator, not customer support.

Here in Thailand inkjet printers retrofitted with continuous ink supply system are popular. Big ink tanks glued to the side of the printer, plastic hoses supply ink to printing head. With this mod if you print a lot you will have to refill those big tanks about once a year with very cheap ink.

Human decisions are unpredictable in a same sense as a dice roll is unpredictable - just too many variables. For dice roll that would be the exact specks of the dice, force and vector used on dice while throwing, surface where it lands, air density, wind, etc. For human decision that would be genetic specks of human, all his/her previous history from birth - all experience, etc. If you exactly duplicate everything for dice or for human - roll outcome would be the same. So what about free will?
