   I'd rather bet that real Dell outsourced tech support to some company in India, where very often business ethics towards customer records is virtually non-existent. But what else can you expect? If you are not paying decent money, be p

    It is more like market-embedded trait, than actual censorship. I was much surprised, how music landscape of the US is much less diverse than that of the UK.

    The article claims the hunger for American bands among the Soviet teenagers and describes the exotic method for satiating it. I only pointed that situation was more complicated. There were 'voices of freedom' and anticommunism fro

    Pink Floyd are the 70-ies, if memory serves. I had tape of the Dark Side of the Moon in 1977. That is a bit late, yes, but could any US resident claim ownership of the 1976 Belarusian single of the year in 1980? http://youtu.be&#

    Well, that was probably the case in Leningrad and maybe Moscow, but definitely not the rest of the USSR (1/6th of the world's land at that moment). And the situation was not that grave. There was even a magazine printed as blue pl

    of course you do not have idea of what I am smoking. I smoked a lot of technical documentation in the 90-ies. The USSR had some sort of the Internet over radio for antiaircraft missiles distributed squadrons. Completely original. It had glo

    Dude, we had not even started. I personally recall, that IT serving РБМК1500 nuclear breeder had nothing to do with Wintel and programming was on some sort of cyrillic Assembler. I knew one of the actual programmers in Vysaginas.

    I believe the only clear way for him is to leave the US and land some international job at some place good as Australia or Sing. Yes, the US will loose a good cyber cop. But as you can see here, this is entirely the US systematic problem. S

    Uranium available for enrichment is not fairly abundant. And U ore deposites are distributed far from fair. Like I said, China has no access to deposits, the UK secured for itself. Russia was effectively cut off Kazakh U resources, leaved w

    In this particular case Tony lured Ivan to US, swamped his efforts, Ivan being not familiar with fund raising and PR, hoped that brilliance of his invention will shine through any sh#t. It did not.
