Comment Re:Why doesn't Edward Snowden (Score 3, Insightful) 29

What do you think would happen with him after sucha stunt? If people get arrested there for being out in the street with an empty paper sheet, or sent to Gulag, kids taken for wrong kindergarden drawing, what would happen to him for openly criticizing the regime?

Comment Re:"China"? Try Biwin (Score 1) 44

That is not pretending. If a chinese company does not adhere to communist party wishes, it does not exist. Why do you think anyone and his grandmother can just copy and massproduce any product there and do it in a month or less? Cause that'ts the whole countries strategy. Not a coincidence.

Comment Not astronomers cannot agree (Score 3, Insightful) 37

It is not that there is one group of astronomers insisting on one thing and other group on something different. It is not politics where opinions, not facts matter. Nothing here requires agreement of astronomers. Theories do not match, one or both are missing something. And that is great, we have a place to poke and inquire into. Sooner or later someone will find a way to explain and measure in better ways.

Comment Re:Format (Score 2) 83

Can't agree on "Microsoft actually does well is backwards compatibility". Have you seen the hoolahoops to jump through to get some old game to work on current Windows? Or old printer, from the days when they didn't break after couple of years. Also regarding Word, I remember when USB sticks came around and MS changed some .doc format - every second coworker got confused when one Word version could not open others file. I had Openoffice then and could not fathom all the fuss, it just opened all of them.
