I've created a MONSTER thread here. :-0
Oil has been the major income for Indonesia for ages.
According to my friends in Indonesia (native people, not "foreigner.").
The situation is more complex than what you've described here.
First. There's the racial issue. The native people in Indonesia have
been ruled by "foreigners" for a long time. If you look at the flag of
Indonesia, you can see that actually is the Dutch's flag with one of the
colour removed.
Then, after the Dutch colonialism rule. Came Suharto - an Indonesian of
Chinese descendent, from a VERY rich family came to power. Also. The
native people in most parts of Indonesia, like Java, are of a different
race/tribe of people; and they have been waring between each other
through out history. Just like the Scotts were fighting the English, or
the waring between different tribes of the Vikings in the old days.
Then, the natives in E. Timor got tired of being ruled by "outsider.",
and tired of the Chinese-Indosians controlling much of the economy. They
rebelled.
Then, the military got involved once the mass murdeering of
Chinese-Indonesian had begun... and the rest is history. I don't want to
waste bandwidth to repeat the whole saga here.
As far as the weapon goes. If the U.S., U.K. didn't sell the Indonesian
military the weapon. I'm sure France and Brazil, or Cz would surely
happy to fill the orders. It's not a moral issue to the weapon trade.
It's just another business contract.
They didn't get into the weapon business for the sake of humanity.
Would you!? ;-)

Here we go again!
The express purpose of copyright is to keep the *FREE LOADERS* away. So,
the copyright owner can sell his/her work in the FREE MARKET, or allow
it to be used under their own FREE will.

Yes. A free market implies lots of buyers and sellers.
BUT.......
It never implies that anybody can sell anything which they don't own, or
created, or have legal title to.
That's why you cannot sell stolen property in Harrod's, or set up shop
on Union Street, or the Piccadily Square; or put up a booth right
outside of 10, Downing Street, in London.
If you try to set up a booth right outside of 10, Downing Street to sell
stolen property. I'm sure Tony will have a few choiced words with you,
and have you escorted away by Bobbies. ;-)

Does tax deductability work differently in the US?
Here, you deduct it from your taxable income, not the tax you pay.
So at best you save the tax that would be paid on the amount, not the
amount.
The costs must count, else who would bother pirating? And plenty of
businesses *do* pirate, ask any of the vendor's associations.
The choice of linux v MS isn't money, I agree. It's what software is
best for the job.
And that's a very individual decision.
THe company I work for has one windows machine for checking the
Director applications work correctly and we have the installer
working.
Everything else is Mac or Linux. Mac because it's best for the
graphics people and Linux running the servers - mail and web. Plus
linux in all the remote locations because it is efficient and can be
remotely administered.

PPP is driving me nuts!!!
I have a ppp account with concentric networks. I use windows NT and
linux. I'd like to not have to use NT anymore, but For the life of me I
just can't seem to get the dialup to work under linux. I first tried
the graphical dialers, (e.g., rp3, etc.) all they would do is lock up
the modem, requiring a reboot. SO next I started writing my own scrips
with chat. All seemed good. Now here is the WEIRD part...
When I set up a dialup connection in NT and and enter my login and
password, everything connects fine (in fact I'm using it now). However,
if I try to login manually using the NT dialup networking, or I try to
login using hyperterminal, it always rejects my username and password.
I've checked and double checked to make sure I'm doing it right. WHY
does it work with the automated NT Dialer, but not with a manual
dialin!!!
