what??? Russia had 140 million of people or so last time I checked. So
almost 40% of the population of Russia was killed by the communist? Same
argument could be made about christianity then. If we judge a system by
the total number of deaths that it produces, then I do not think neither
Capitalism, nor communism are any better/worse. Same when comparing a
despotic medieval regime like the Tzar's with a modern despotic regime
like communism, and somehow trying to make a point of one being better
than the other. It is like trying to say that Hitler was somehow better
than Stalin or viceversa.

That is my opinion I guess, and this is way off topic. Sorry 'bout that...
now can we get back to computer related stuff.
