China thanks your continued support of filthy murdering bastards

Do you own a pair of Nike shoes or an iPhone or anything "made in China"? I know I do. Cheap, almost slave labour, has made China a financial superpower in a few decades because they can make all the ridiculous plastic crap and electronic geegaws far cheaper than countries that have a social conscience, benefits for disabled or unemployed people and a modicum of social freedom.
China's iron rule of Tibet, including the brutal forced sterilization of young girls before they get a chance to breed and the continued violent suppression of Tibetan national identity is as bad, if not worse than the atrocities carried out by Nazis during world war two. At least the Nazis centralised and documented all of their crimes. The Chinese simply carry on day after day killing, ethnically cleansing and repressing everyone they can.
Recent outrage over the forced abortion of a seven month pregnancy which resulted in graphic images of a violated young mother and her murdered child are but the tip of the iceberg and the rage generated is no more than a quiet snivel.
Governments should wage war against China by starving it of income. Enable zero tax zones in western countries that would enable manufacturing to be moved back to Europe and America. Place crippling import duties on Chinese goods so that they have to spend a dwindling cash supply on internal affairs and are prevented from buying up large swathes of Africa and South America.
Every thing you buy from China enriches them and condones their actions. The trouble is, when they expand because of their vast resources, it'll be your daughter that they sterilize for not being Chinese enough.

WAHOO GPS!!!

I was looking for an open source GPS framework and had found one written in C and C++ which I thought about putting my mind to packaging as a DLL somehow but this is perfect for me.

The GPS3 project on CodePlex and the DotSpatial project will enable me to create my glass cockpit system easily.

All I need now is a small battery operated touchscreen PC!

Congratulations to Venezuela

In this article, Venezuela enacts a law banning the commercial sale of guns and ammunition to private owners. What an enlightened stance from the embattled neighbours of the knee-jerk reactive and constitutionally stunted United States.
