<don't they have chamber pots. that seems kinda ridiculous. though not as ridiculous as giving $100 million to a symphony. >

Mucho, What's wrong with paying for a symphony orchestra [if it's what you like]? I can think of lots of things I'd spend $100 million on before I paid for a symphony orchestra. Why the heck should Irwin Jacobs and his wife want to buy $100 million worth of toilets in India?

I've used a disgusting toilet at Victoria Station in Bombay/Mumbai so I'd have liked to have a nice one, but I don't see why he should pay for it.

Irwin is doing something great for India - creating and supplying CDMA. I doubt that Dipstick has done anything much for India. As a shareholder in QUALCOMM, I'm doing my share. But until they decide to open their borders and let capital flow and capitalism roar, they'll get nowhere fast.

They don't have capital, so they have to import it. Which means they have to allow it to be exported again. They don't want to do that. They want to take it hostage. That's not what capitalists like.
