You acknowledge that you have reviewed the applicable Licensor Privacy Policy, which describes Licensor’s general practices with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of information in connection with your Use of the Licensed Software, which is incorporated herein by reference. Licensor reserves the right to change the provisions of its Privacy Policy from time to time. Your Use of the Licensed Software following the posting of such changes to Licensor’s Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of any such changes. Licensor does not make any and hereby disclaims to the maximum extent allowed by law any and all covenants, representations and warranties with respect to its compliance with the statements of intent contained in Licensor’s privacy policy.

11. COMPATIBILITY. Licensor does not warrant that the Licensed Software will be compatible with your hardware or other software installed on your computer system. Compatibility issues may cause your computer’s performance to suffer. In the event that the Licensed Software is not compatible with your hardware or other software installed on your computer system, the Licensed Software can be uninstalled as provided in Section 7, above. Like all software, the Licensed Software utilizes some of your computer’s resources to run, including system memory and Internet connection. Use of the Licensed Software on a computer with inadequate system resources will cause such computer’s performance to suffer.

By using the Licensed Software, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list.

14. MISCELLANEOUS.
14.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any Third Party Software Agreement set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no representations, warranties, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written, between the parties relating to this Agreement which are not fully expressed in this Agreement. No waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party affected by the waiver, amendment or modification; provided, however, that that Licensor may unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement or a company that owns or controls Third Party Software may modify their Third Party Software Agreement at any time and you shall have notice of these changes by reference to the Version number of this document and the effective date for such version (or the Third Party Software Agreement may be amended according to that company’s particular policies). Further, no waiver of any term, condition or default of any term of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other term, condition or default. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any Third Party Agreement with respect to the use of the Licensed Software and the obligations, duties or liability of Licensor, this Agreement shall control notwithstanding such conflicting language.

14.2 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the particular provisions held to be unenforceable and the unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by mutually acceptable provisions which, being valid, legal and enforceable, come closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid or unenforceable provision.
14.3 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement and each and every portion of this Agreement shall be interpreted pursuant to the internal laws of the Country of Costa Rica, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court located in Cost Rica for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and the parties each agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts and not to plead or claim that any such court is an inconvenient or otherwise improper or inappropriate forum).
14.4 Injunctive Relief. Licensee acknowledges that the injury that would be suffered by Licensor as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement by Licensee would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to Licensor for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, Licensor will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement, and Licensor will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief

Should you have any questions concerning this Agreement, or if you wish to contact Licensor for any reason, please e-mail us at dcads.biz <sendto:info@dcads.biz>.

I got this letter from this woman. I know its just a scam but what do you think about it? Have you ever gotten one like it? Here it is

Miss Konan Crystal
Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire
West Africa.

Hello Dear Chosen one,
Please excuse me for all the inconveniences my mail could cause you. I saw your profile and have the interest to contact you. Please even if we never knew before, I believe firmly that on the basis of the right of humanitarian assistance that a real confidence and love can arise from our communication and also a real partnership between us.

I am Miss Konan Crystal, the legitimate daughter of the Director of cocoa export here murdered by the rebel痴 here because of the political crisis going on here since four years ago.

My father had deposited a consignment with a security company here containing the sum of $9.000, 000 USD (Nine million dollars USD) to allow him to conceive a project of investment at the end of his mandate here.

Regrettably the fate decided on it otherwise.

Today my major concern is to move out this sum outside here. Given that I am the only child and I have seriously suffered from the riggings and the harassments on behalf of the political opponents of my Father.

It is in this prospect that I contact you to please help me to move this heritage from the security company to your country.

Because of the political war and the hostilities in this country I seriously wish to leave from here and live the rest of my life in a more peaceful and politically more stable and quiet country. It is what justifies this demand.

I shall voluntarily agree on a good and appropriate percentage of this money as your compensation for your assistant as for what precedes.

I would like to count on your human, virtuous and professional qualities.
I look forward to receive your urgent responds.
Thanks for your care.

Yours sincerely
Miss Konan Crystal

yep so thats the letter

Lol. Do people actually fall for this? I would just respond and just lead her on and screw around with her for awhile.

Groveling at the United Nations
How not to get Iran to do anything other than what Iran wants.

By Anne Bayefsky

The real surprise about Iran’s latest affront to civilized behavior — the hostage-taking of British sailors and marines — is that there should be any surprise at all. For years Iran has received a consistent message from the global gurus at the United Nations: Nobody is prepared to stop you. Groveling is the skill democratic states have honed at the U.N. when confronted with naked aggression and the violation of every right and freedom they supposedly hold dear.

Here is a timeline of the U.N. moves which have progressively emboldened Iran and like-minded terrorist entities the world over.

June 2003: Only after Iran had spent years developing its nefarious nuclear program could the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency finally bring itself to state that Iran had violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

July 12, 2006: Three years of huffing and puffing later — and three days before the start of a G-8 Summit that was to consider pushing Iran harder at the Security Council — Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists infiltrated Israeli territory and kidnapped two Israeli soldiers on routine patrol along the Israel-Lebanon border.

July 31, 2006: The Security Council adopted a resolution granting Iran another time extension for ending its nuclear activities and called for another report a month later.

August 11, 2006: The Security Council adopted a resolution dashing Israel’s hope of retrieving its soldiers and removing the Hezbollah-Iranian threat to its civilian population. The resolution equated a call to release the Israeli soldiers with the release of criminals in Israeli jails and introduced a bargaining chip in the form of a Lebanese land grab (based on a claim which the U.N. itself had decided was bogus years earlier) — thereby guaranteeing the soldiers’ continued captivity. The resolution to end an Iranian-instigated and Iranian-fueled war made no mention Iran.

September 3, 2006: When it appeared the Security Council August deadline on the nuclear front might be taken seriously, Secretary-General Kofi Annan rushed to Tehran and Iranian Prime Minister Ahmadinejad’s side, shook his hand, and announced to the world: “The international community should not isolate Iran.”

October 20, 2006: Worried the U.N. protection racket needed a little more muscle in the face of growing calls for sanctions, Mohammed ElBaradei, the Egyptian chief of the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency, told Newsweek: [W]e don’t see a clear and present danger that we have to address tomorrow, and we have ample time to negotiate.” When pressed that “Iran’s behavior doesn’t inspire confidence,” ElBaradei responded that “the jury is still out.”

December 19, 2006: After determining Iran was engaged in stoning, flogging, amputation, torture, public executions, and systematic discrimination against women, only 71 of the 192 members of the General Assembly voted to condemn Iranian human rights abuses. A total of 105 countries either abstained or voted against; the rest were “absent.”

December 23, 2006: After much hand-wringing at the prospect of getting tough on Iran, the Security Council adopted a resolution that gave Iran this ultimatum for continued noncompliance of U.N. standards: “further decisions will be required.”

February 19, 2007: As the deadline for further decisions and another U.N. report approached, Mohammed ElBaradei handed Iran the pretext for another outrage. In a formal interview, ElBaradei told the Financial Times: “…sanctions alone do not work and in most cases radicalise the regime…If you create an environment in which Iran feels isolated, in which Iran is subject to further sanctions, then some of these worst case scenarios could take place…”

ElBaradei didn’t stop there. Pointing directly to the United Kingdom while justifying Iran’s pathological desire for nuclear weapons, ElBaradei opined:

Iran sees enrichment… as a strategic goal because they feel that this will bring them power, prestige and influence…[A] lot of that is true. A nuclear capability is a nuclear deterrent in many ways. When you see here in the UK the programme for modernising the Trident…it is difficult then for us to turn around and tell everybody else that nuclear deterrents are really no good for you…because all the weapon states, without exception, are either modernising, or thinking about developing new weapons not only for deterrence purposes, but actually usable [ones]. Statements have been made…about possible actual use, such as mini-nukes, bunker buster.

March 23, 2007: Just one day before the Security Council was set to adopt a sanctions resolution directed at Iran, the Iranians kidnapped the British naval personnel.

March 24, 2007: The Security Council adopted an Iran sanctions regime that was virtually sanction-free. The resolution uses Israel as a diversion tactic in the form of a reference to “a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction.” It fails to adopt a mandatory travel ban and instead merely “calls upon all states to exercise vigilance and restraint regarding the entry into or transit” of a limited list of individuals. It refuses to ban items and technology and instead just “calls upon all states to exercise vigilance and restraint in the supply” of these items. It does not impose a mandatory asset freeze but instead “calls upon all states and international financial institutions not to enter new commitments for grants, financial assistance, and concessional loans, to…Iran, except for humanitarian and developmental purposes.” In its one “shall not” provision, the resolution bans only the country’s arms exports — refusing to impose an arms embargo prohibiting the sale of weapons to Iran.

March 26, 2007: The U.N. Human Rights Council decided to discontinue its consideration of the human rights situation in Iran. Iran had been subject to behind-closed-doors monitoring under a confidential procedure, but the Council president announced that a decision had been taken behind-closed-doors to drop the monitoring of Iran altogether.

March 29, 2007: The Security Council refused a British request for the Council to “deplore” the continued Iranian detention of U.K. personnel and call for their “immediate release.” Instead, it issued a press statement expressing “grave concern at the capture,” making an “appeal” to Iran to allow consular access, and calling “for an early resolution of this problem, including the release…”

The pattern is painfully obvious.

Kidnap and demand the civilized world jump. And the U.N. says “how high?”

Threaten to wipe a Jewish state off the map. Begin your genocidal campaign by arming a terrorist organization to rain 3,900 missiles down on a civilian population in a single month. And the U.N. blames the Jews, while keeping you off the radar screen completely.

Start a program to acquire nuclear weapons. And work with a comrade from another Muslim dictatorship at the U.N. to run interference while your plans move full speed ahead.

Amputate, flog, stone, and execute in front of the masses, lest they get any ideas about rights and freedoms. And the U.N. removes you from its human-rights agenda altogether.

Kidnap again and demand the civilized world jump. And again the U.N. says “how high?”

Leaving the rest of us to pose a different question: Will we get off this U.N. wheel before it’s too late?

Power comes in many forms. What is your definition of power?

Do you see any similarities between the current federal policies towards the American economy and what took place in Germany during from roughly 1915 – 1925 when that nation suffered a period of hyperinflation? During this period, the German Mark was so worthless that people used it for wallpaper and burned it as fuel in their fireplaces.

According to a history by Professor Emeritus Dr. Hans Sennholz:

"Like all the other banks, [the central bank] offered assistance to the central government in financing the war effort. Since taxes are always unpopular, the German government preferred to borrow the needed amounts of money rather than raise its taxes substantially. To this end it was readily assisted by the Reichsbank, which discounted most treasury obligations.

A growing percentage of government debt thus found its way into the vaults of the central bank and an equivalent amount of printing press money into people’s cash holdings. In short, the central bank was monetizing the growing government debt.

By the end of the war the amount of money in circulation had risen fourfold and prices some 140 percent…

…the German government… embarked upon heavy expenditures for health, education, and welfare. The demands on the treasury were extremely heavy anyway because of demobilization expenses, the demands of the Armistice, the disorders of the revolution, and the staggering deficits of the nationalized industries, especially the railroads, postal services, telephone, and telegraph…

…Reparation payments, depreciating exchanges, rising import and export prices, rising domestic prices, consequent budgeting deficits, and at the same time an increased demand for bank credit; and finally increased note-issue…

When all other explanations are exhausted, modern governments usually fall back on the speculator, who is held responsible for all economic and social evils."

When you compare this to what has happened over the past few years in America, and the current federal response, are we running the risk of repeating history???

http://mises.org/story/2347

It is an interesting assessment, but there are two basic problems with the thesis.

First, many of the problems associated with reparations led to the broader economic problems affecting the Weimar republic. In particular, the onus of paying back the winners of the war combined with a largely destroyed infrastructure required the central bank to print more money. THAT led to the hyperinflation, loss of value of the Mark against other currencies, budget deficits and the like. I might note that by the late 20’s, many of these problems had been solved and Germany started to return to prosperity. If not for the Stock Exchange crash in 1929 and the subsequent Depression, Germany would have fully recovered. It is also unlikely that the Nazis would have captured the state.

Second, as mentioned above, the German infrastructure–in terms of industrial output, transportation, and administrative apparatus–was largely wrecked as a result of the First World War. While America has some serious systemic problems, they are nothing compared to those facing Germany in 1919.

As I say, it’s an interesting notion, but it is in the end not a very apt comparison.

Cheers.

Do democrats like this guy? He’s such a phony, up there hating on Obama, the same Obama he called personally in 06 to come out and campaign for him in his senate election. He’s supporting a candidate who is against everything except for security that he’s for. For example he’s been at the forefront of raising the minimum wage, attempting 17 times to do this, while McCain has been voting against it.

I know republicans can’t like this guy hes against everything you are for. So really who likes this guy? And why do you like him? And how do you defend him lying at the RNC saying Obama hasn’t reached across party lines to accomplish anything when the facts are quite different:

Obama collaborated with Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., in 2006 to pass a law (PL 109-282) creating a Google-like database of federal contracts and grants allowing users to type in key words that would bring up exactly how much money any particular recipient received.

• With then-Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Richard G. Lugar, R-Ind., Obama won enactment of a 2006 law (PL 109-401) that allowed the United States to export nuclear fuel, technology and reactors to India for the first time in three decades. The law accepted India as a nuclear-armed power and was enacted despite concerns about India’s ties to Iran and past sanctions for transferring sensitive equipment to Iran.

• He also worked with Lugar on a Senate bill that authorized the president to carry out a program to provide assistance to foreign countries to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Another part of the measure was intended to stop the spread of conventional weapons, notably shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles that the legislation refers to as man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS. The bill’s provisions were incorporated into a House bill that passed later that year and was signed into law in January 2007 (PL 109-472).

These bills arguably meet the threshhold of significance, particularly the two measures with Lugar on important foreign policy issues. Since Obama is a Democrat, and Lugar and Coburn are Republicans, that seems to qualify as reaching across party lines. We find Lieberman’s claim False.

I agree with you about what he said about Obama. I was quite disappointed in him. I understand that he is trying to help his friend win, but that was a total lie and he knew it. Maybe he was secretly trying to sabotage his own credibility. I don’t know. I was disgusted.
