The original definition of third word was any country not allied with the west(first world) or east(second world), they also happened to be dirt poor(which was why noone bothered to ally them).
A later definition of third world was "Any country that asks for and receives western aid" which correlates heavily with countries that have a development index lower then 0.8 and contains a very similar list of countries to the original cold war definition.
Are you trying to say that there's no longer a gap between the OECD countries and central africa?
Russia by definition can't be a third world country as they define the second world, now even if they didn't how the fuck can you put Russia in the same category as Nigeria? Do you have any sense of proportion whatsoever?
Healthy lives and Vaccination doesn't have much to do with eachother, the thing is that there is a very high mortality rate among unvaccinated children because there exists a lot of easily vaccinated diseases that are dangerous, I'll let Pen and Teller illustrate.
Well, it's hooked up to your speech centre so it won't really be able to read your secrets unless you think them out loud with sensors attached directly to your brain.
On the other hand you have countries like Sweden where a formely state owned company has had monopoly on telephone since 1920 but Sweden still has one of the best internet infrastructures of the world. The trick is that the monopolist has to be forced to rent out the infrastructure at competitive prices to other ISP's, this was done in Sweden by splitting the monopoly into two subcompanies, the network provider and the ISP and forced the network part to charge the same prices from the ISP part as it would charge other ISP's.
I suspect that someday in the future we'll have dynamic speed limits based on the time of day and congestion, I've seen them implemented as you come close to Stockholm.
Thing is, when you have two wrecks and blood splattered everywhere, you can sorta reverse engineer the speed and direction they were traveling, if you're lucky you might be able to do a drug analysis on the remains, but you can't measure how stupid or tired they were at the time of the accident.
So after watching a lot of twists that are inspired by the Mousetrap you find the Mousetrap predictable? That's like the people that think LotR is generic because high fantasy is so common nowadays.
I sometimes wonder if the lawyers on both sides of a legal conflict have secret meetings about how to get as much money as possible out of their clients.
Something being the motive doesn't mean it's justified. If I kill you for running over my cat, that's still my motive even if it's a rather silly thing to do and most people wouldn't do that.
How the fuck is is standing up for democracy to ignore peoples wishes and publish pictures of them and their homes on the internet? That's the polar opposite.
The only thing of value inside of those retail boxes is the CD key which allows you to make your account, what you paid for is that CD-key(and to some extent the paper and plastic to make up the boxes) not the client.
"This guy's actions might have been technically illegal based on other factors, but what Blizzard charges money for isn't the issue. I can violate the Ubuntu Foundation's copyright just as easily and in the same ways as I can violate the RIAA's -- copy their stuff without a license to do so (or, in the Ubuntu case, without following the terms of the license distributed with the software)."
The reason that copyright licenses exist is that the very act of running a piece of software requires making a copy, using the software to run on other peoples servers without paying blizzard is a clear violation of the agreement you accepted when you downloaded and installed the client, the creators of the emulated server in addition to violating the agreement themselves as part of their reverse engineering would also be guilty of the fun crime of aiding and abetting copyright infringement.
"Whether someone wants to charge money for something has no bearing on whether someone else is allowed to give it away for free. If I make a business of selling prints of the Mona Lisa outside the Louvre, I can't complain when someone else starts making them and handing them to tourists for free." It does because you're affecting their business in a way that no judge in the world would agree is fair use.
Avatar was the opposite, from what I've heard they didn't even begin writing the script until very late in the project. It's basically a long graphics effect with a script stappled on : p
That's not strictly true, for instance some forest fires have to be stopped by starting a second controlled fire that'll eat up enough area that the first one can't spread anymore.
The solution most reasonable countries have agreed to is that whomever owns the line to the house is required to rent it out to all the other companies for a fair price. That means 1 line and good competition.
Sweden yes. The point here is that if you register, then the police can't legally track your sources down, they can't even begin an investigation, and you're not legally allowed to disclose your sources without the sources consent either. If you don't register, you might be able to hide behind Tor nodes or what not, but it's a gamble.

It's not a myth, it's an abstraction. Calling the third world a myth is like calling the colour red a myth.

"Children under 13 years can NOT legally enter into contracts, so the health department suit is without merit."
You still need a license even if you're too young to enter contracts.
I suspect most Europeans see those bases more as tourist attractions then defense installations at this point.
It has to be provable false, which is almost impossible to do with this sort of crime.
Warrants are public, there's not much the justice system can do really to prevent international media from splashing it up if they want to.

Are you stupid or something?

No it doesn't. Like with every other MMO in existence the client is available for free, it's the account that costs money.

Uhm, how do you make any money off your vending machine if it's a horrendously over-engineered piece of expensive technology?

My jurisdiction happens to be the country that Wikileaks is located in, remember?
