Looky here Stan
I never bothered to reply to your posts because it was not worth it.
But now you got my goat up.
In 1944 I was interned in a camp by the Germans .In 1946 I was in Stalingrad.In 1953
I stood at attention while the music was blaring on the street on the death of
Stalin. I lived through the Hungarian revolution of 1956. I was in Korea and Vietnam
serving this country of ours which accepted me and my family so graciously. I did
not know what a toilet was until 1952. Went most of the times without eating because
there was no food in those days.

I do not complain , I live in a great country and what is in the past is in the
past. Period. Get on with your life and forget the past and stop posting the past
hardships. What was ,,,was. The year is 2009 and it is now.

The term as used by the French, Alias -- I wasn't completely sure of the
meaning as I'm not fluent en français.

No, you're simply uneducated. Bureau has been an English word for ages.

"Those Who Forget History Are Doomed to Repeat It". When oil is depleted
and Chinese refuse to send their junk overseas in exchange for by then
worthless green papers, you will want to recall your GULAG survival
skills, including defecating in the bucket, if you are still alive by then.

And you are uneducated. You use Ubuntu. You can't afford Windows. Too
bad.

Remember that Ubuntu doesn't run the popular software programs out there.
Ubuntu is worthless. Junk. Garbage. Nobody needs to use that piece of
**** OS.

IMHO:

One big big problem Russians seem to have is that they are enamored with and
have romanticized alcohol. Russians drink too much. Too many people arrive
at work hung over.

Alcohol is a progress killer. Tobacco and cigarettes are a drag. Smoking and
drinking addictions are a huge tax the Russian society pays. A tax that is
too high and holds Russia and Russians back. Red-eyed hung-over people are
not exactly going to be innovators (except in excuses and lies).

It's an uphill battle though, because drinking is probably highly
romanticized. People probably have many delusions surrounding alcohol and
its consumption. So the job is to convince them otherwise.

On Amazon, the Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack is $149 + change. It gives
you three licenses.

I decided that "Bureau en gros" means "store", or maybe "Wholesale office
goods". We can be sure that these are correct - or wrong.

I didn't look it up. If there's some controversy, I will.

I forgot to drag with the control key on and neglected to porof raed...
Here's the above sentence corrected:

You should see Finnish and Irish, they drink as much but quite successful.
It's due to climate - vodka helps to get thru frost & depressive snow
fields.

I hate it, but then I am not Russian anyway - just born/raised there, not
Polish either - just a name..
You're probablky not serious., It's not vodka that afflicts them

Anyways, the subject was why Russo-China are allowed to pirate software,
also wht Britts pat more than us and Russians pay less than us and when we
will stop aiding countries who are richer than us in natural and land
resources so a century later we might be ki**ing their a**?
Not a good plan, strategically.

can't believe Canadian dollar is aalmost the same as USdolalr these days. I
rmember it was twice cheaper
