nice rise in the hashrate - it seems like the 45 Thash/s is there to stay...

It seems ASICMiner can't keep up with the increase in the rest of the network: http://runeks.dk/bitcoin/#week

Yeah, I've read about working conditions in China. Workers on the factories can easily work 10+ hours a day, 6 days a week. But they don't complain, they are very hard-working people.

The word is "slaves".

You don't seem to know what a slave is. Voluntarily working 10 hours a day 6 days a week is not slavery.

Only us spoiled Westerners don't know the difference.

Not so sure about that. Sometimes you don't need lashes and chains to control slaves. You just have to push them into the right direction by the force of tyrannical governments.

Are you saying that the tyrannical government of China is forcing these people to work?

Voluntarily choosing to work doesn't mean that you love working. It means you prefer the benefits of working over what you would get if you do not work.
