> What do you mean by pay their taxes? What taxes are they paying? Gordon, I meant *you* pay more for having your servers in Sealand, than you would pay having the servers in Panama; and I said *if* their fees are higher. So, having your servers in Sealand is like paying the same thing as in Panama plus taxes as a Sealand citizen. Besides, for the end-user doesn't matter if Sealand uses microwaves or smoke to get the job done, but the fact that clients pay for that.
Jim, private schools, private hospitals are not for everybody. Again, I am talking about the world in general, not USA. > Also, note that HavenCo recently had to deal with a bout of what their technical people (Ryan Lackey's successors) believed was intentional jamming of their shore-to-ship microwave transmitters. They should try lasers, but I don't know if there is any satellite with a laser link. There was another idea for hyperdense data transmission, but that's far into the future: soliton* waves. * Definition: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soliton * Links: http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/solitons/ * Soliton lasers (but I don't know if they have actually implemented solitions in their lasers): http://www.soliton-gmbh.de/frame_e.html > Property tax is spent on schools, hospitals, roads etc... not income tax. I was referring to the entire world, not the USA. As I don't live in USA (nor do I want to), it's important for me why taxes are paid, in general, in any country. Basically, not the taxes are the problem, but those who decide how they are spent (and how much to tax, and what to tax). > Well, why is it that NZ first gave woman the vote, but on average now they make 75% of men's wages in the SAME job? Graham, I guess they thought *free*dom of speech is something that comes free, so they said "what the heck, paying women less isn't against their freedom, since that's free but wages are not" ;) Regards, George Hara www.filematrix.xnet.ro ------------------------------------------------------- Xnet scaneaza automat toate mesajele impotriva virusilor folosind RAV AntiVirus.
