even if that were true, china and russia (and iran) have very powerful reasons to put any conflict aside for the time being. also, none of them are typical expansionist/colonialist mindset nations (unlike the west)
Donbas what?
oh, btw, about "russia infiltrating ukraine"
Ukraine had paved streets and multi-story buildings while Russians were still crawling in the mud.
Supposedly, all currently pending orders for new superyachts are for owners in the Ukraine.
Are you just now learning that war is profitable for some people?
Ukraine needs to:
(a) make an offer that the Russians can at least use as a fig leaf to concede peace.
Never pay the dane-geld.
Why? So Ukrainian people can live. So its current leader can live. So the country is not at risk.
The only way that's true is if Russia is destroyed. Is that what you want?
This is true only if "can be done" includes the fine print "maybe within the lifetime of the universe"
At this rate, that's still going to be before someone makes a practical quantum computer. These clowns are dicking around with a handful of qubits with which they can't do anything useful and claiming they're going to have a working and useful solution in three years? Absolute nonsense.
Minix was virtually as functional - had Tanenbaum released it under the GPL or a more permissive license, there's a good chance - given Linux's history - we'd be using Minix with the Linux kernel today.
No. GNU was taking over Unix before Linux even existed. Unix sysadmins were installing GNU tools as fast as they could from early days.
Why would they duplicate the dev effort and take on the expense of creating software which would then make it more difficult to interoperate with their American business / trade partner?
Because the American product they were getting, Windows, was shit?
I have heard, that they are using genuine reman engines in these tractors.
So that's where all the P-Pumped 6CTs are going? Fuckers.
Isn't the Kirovets also a massive fuel sucker even by tractor standards? For that matter, did they ever incorporate an oil control ring?
This is already going to happen. California has announced emissions standards for agricultural vehicles.
I'm not sure what improving capital means.
It means GETTING MORE MONEY.
Capital != money only in that just having money doesn't mean you have enough to invest meaningfully. For the most part it's a bullshit statement, because someone with no money also has no capital. They might borrow some, but what they are borrowing is... money.
Let's be clear: Attempting to prevent the customers that 'bought' your product from repairing them is NOT capitalism.
What? I don't think you know what capitalism is.
Capitalism is all about the free market.
Oh, I was right. You don't know what capitalism is.
Capitalism means one and only one thing: Capital controls the means of production. There are many kinds of capitalism, and "free market" capitalism is only one of them. Regulatory capture is absolutely an expected aspect of capitalism.
People want freedom, not to be owned by the company they thought they were buying stuff from.
Yes, but that's irrelevant to the question of whether or not this is capitalism. Not just slightly, but completely. It has absolutely no place in that discussion.
I still can't believe Russia didn't figure out their Chinese tires didn't really fail because they didn't "exercise" them enough
I picked the top one which is considered the most authoritative.
It's not most authoritative. It's most common. Now you learned another thing about dictionaries today! You're a winner!
give Iran nukes because of your TDS, just as expected
Are the nukes in reality with us? For a value of "us" that does not include you.
The certificate is expiring. Why is Microsoft obligated to renew it?
Not sure why you're in here with that when there's a whole discussion about it elsewhere but: They publicly made statements that the software would continue to work. They then later edited that page and changed the printed publishing date to the revision date but the internet archive came to the rescue as usual, which is why all the corporations want it destroyed.
Since they made a public promise that it would continue to work, that opens them up for lawsuits even in the USA. In Europe as well as a number of countries elsewhere, what they did was illegal regardless; here in the USA it's only illegal because they did a bait and switch.
