What's been happening in the poor countries like Africa, and still is, is that X charity organization sends food, people eat food and feel bad about themselves. Get more food, repeat. They aren't gonna get anywhere in the long shot. The UMPC and such initiatives are good, but they're way overhyped, and aren't doing much more than creating PR for ASUS and X other UMPC/sub-notebook manufacturer.
What they need to do is provide enough supplies for people to survive, and spend twice as much resources on teaching them how to survive for themselves. They need tractors and other farm equipment as well as the proper education to use those.
When I know they spend most money on that, then I'll donate to charity.
And no matter what, this money is there to provide an awesome entertainment machine for me. I'm just kind enough to use it for charity when I'm not using it personally.
Countries in Africa can't get anywhere in the long run because of debt. To repay original debts they have to borrow more from other countries, with large interest rates attached to them. They can't do anything but accept it. It's a loop that is incandescendly hard to get out of. Charities work on donations, the only reason they can "provide enough supplies for people" is if people donate to them. I was suggesting that if you donate to them you'll help just that (you can still fold).
They do get tractors and farm equipment, but again they will only last so long. All you need to do is go on to a charity's website and you will read about how they have turned around villages with new schools and equipment. It's great to see.
I find it ironic that you say "I don't like charity" and yet you call folding "charity".He can do both.jaymz9350 wrote:

Let's leave this for another thread, this is about upgrades.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
