Wikipedia Mao’s skills in securing his power are unrivaled. His major trick is the absolute control of intellectuals. Once intellectuals are under control, others can be fooled effortlessly. During the Yan’an Rectification Movement that he started while watching the Nationalists fighting bloody battles against the…

Under the CCP's totalitarian regime, Chinese people lack the most fundamental human right - the freedom of speech. However, the CCP has been preaching democracy, freedom and political reform for almost 3/4 of a century: 中國是有缺陷，而且是很大的缺陷，就是缺乏民主。只有加上民主，中國才能前進一步。民主必須是各方面的。只有建立在言論出版集會結社的自由與民主選舉政府的基礎上面，才是有力的政治。（毛澤東1944年6月12日答中外記者問） 目前推行民主政治，主要關鍵在於結束一黨治國。此問題一日不解決，則國事勢必包攬於一黨之手；才智之士，無從引進，良好建議，不能實行。因而所謂民主，無論搬出何種花樣，只是空有其名而已。（《解放日》1941年10月28日社論） 政黨本身不是權力機關，不能凌駕於群眾和政府之上。（1938年3月7日《新華日報》 「一個黨，一個國家，一個民族，如果一切從本本出發，思想僵化，迷信盛行，那它就不能前進，它的生機就停止了，就要亡黨亡國。」（鄧小平1978年12月） 「國家需要改革開放，人民需要改革開放，誰不改革誰下台！對，不改革開放就下台！下台！」（鄧小平1992年2月） 「改革，應包括政治體制的改革，而且應該把它作為改革向前推進的一個標誌。」「只搞經濟體制改革，不搞政治體制改革，經濟體制改革也搞不通，因為首先遇到人的障礙。」（鄧小平1986年6月）

Ariya EVOLVE+ FWD has the longest range (289 miles) among the 4 Ariya models. That is best choice.

Value Added Tax (VAT) has added a tremendous burden for international sales. Most payment services (e.g. Paypal) do not handle VAT. Fortunately, some services do: Paddle (5% + $0.50). Paddle is a fraudulent company that robs its customers. Fastspring (5.9% + $0.95) Bamazoo (15%) Advantage (now 2checkout) (3.99%…

The Chinese regime accused Ai Weiwei of tax evasion in June 2011 as a way to oppress this artist whose civil rights activities have been a major headache for them. They demand him to pay ¥12 million. His repeated appeals, not surprisingly, have gone nowhere.

Sleek, fast, excellent for tablets, but unsuitable for desktop upgrade. Windows 8 is apparently Microsoft's effort to fight for its share in the tablet market. There have been tablets running Windows for over a decade, but they are essentially laptops without keyboards. Windows 8's default…

SATA drive hot swap is most likely doable on a PC. Unlike USB device, it may require a device scan (Device Manager > Scan for hardware change) to detect a newly plugged device.

A simple disk image results in the extra space of the larger HD unallocated. A new partition could be created to use the unallocated space, but the crammed primary partition can be a severe bottleneck of the computer performance. Windows Disk Management (Computer Management >…

Windows Easy Transfer (WET) is a nice tool for migrating from one computer to another one. It does not transfer installed applications, but it transfer their settings and user documents. For example, IE will have all the favorites, short cuts and other settings on the target computer with WET. This can save a lot of time. It has three methods of transferring: an Easy Transfer cable, a network and an external hard disk. The first needs to be purchased, so it is not a good choice if one only needs to run WET once in a while.The second one is handy if it works. I have tried to use it many times under different circumstances, and it never worked. The 3rd one is the most robust option. WET does not handle user folder redirection well. For example, one may use a small SSD to store the OS and all the programs, and redirect use data folders to a hard drive. WET does not transfer such redirection, so it is very important to set up folder directions before using WET.
