In the Bahamas our own government chose to name something the "National Insurance Scheme" so there you go.

"Every time you make a system too efficient, you reduce the number of workers but with economies it's important to have as many people working as possible."

But I have the perfect solution for that little problem and have been quietly promoting it in my country for years now:

The Department Of Beach Surveys.

The government hires people and sends them to the beach every day. They get a clipboard and a short form to fill out daily.

Date:
Location:
Survey Taker:

Did you see any sea life today? Y/N
Did you see any birds today? Y/N
Did you see any land animals on the beach today? Y/N
Was it Windy / Calm?
Was it Sunny / Rainy?
Did you encounter any tourists on the beach today? Y/N
      If Yes, did they seem to be having a good time? Y/N
Did you have an enjoyable day at the beach today? Y/N
Optionally note below anything of interest you might want to.

Perhaps if your country does not have enough beaches, you could send those workers to our country to do the surveys here.

a trial is "necessary to find the truth." ???

Wouldn't an experiment or a demonstration be more in order?

Or is that what the trial is to consist of?

on topic though.

"It appears, however, that criminals are well aware of the cameras and take other routes"

Careful, that makes anyone whose vehicle does not show up on the cameras possibly shady.... ~;-)

I am not so sure. Perhaps instead of sending them to the ad sites, send them to a site that tells them they are infected and that they will get progressively slower responses until they fix things. Then progressively slow their requests down making things more an more painful?

IOW. make it worth their while to care? Someone is, after all, having to spend extra money to keep them working.

Or did I misunderstand something here?

Surely you know...

If you have used both, surely you can at least hazard a guess...

That way, if things don't quite pan out, the assets may still be useful or someone else may be able to finish things up.

Not answering that particular question, but if the prize re-license was to BY-SA and not BY it would not be as bad. (If it is bad at all.)

As I said elsewhere...

Well, there are other ways to get multiple houses. I did not know your tax code made that distinction. So no tax at all on your main house? Capital gains tax on others?

I do think simplicity would help the situation.

Note: I live in a different country where we do not have any income tax at all. That does not mean we do not have similar tax issues and questions though.

If they could actually do this that would be one thing. Somehow I think it will end up hitting the folks without the time, skills, or contacts to find the loopholes.
