When giving an example of a class you don't need to exhaustively list every member of the class.
Of course an example is selective - that's what an example is. Instead of an exhaustive list you select a few and present them as being representative of the class.
Australia does, but Australia is one of the countries that has done reasonably well recently (unemployment is in the 5-5.5% range, which is below the historic average rate). Of course a mining boom due to high demand for commodities (and so prices) has a big influence on that. Though running a deficit was demonized in the Howard years which has put the government a bit far to the surplus side - though not so much that they tried to keep one during a potentially large down turn.
What other countries have been running surpluses in growth years, and defecits in bad years?
The US certainly hasn't been using Keysenian economics - budget deficits were run in growth years after all.
It doesn't bother me either, as the 108 games steam currently says I have on it indicates.
But that has no bearing at all on the validity of "Valve will release patches to remove the DRM if they go under" - DRM on games that Valve doesn't actually hold any IP rights to in the first place in many cases.
I'm sure that'd be high on the list in the scramble to revocer as much money as possible from a business about to die. And even higher on the list of someone who buys the company either before or after it goes bankrupt.
Use a US billing address credit card. Steam will be cheaper than your local store (Far Cry 3 would be $48 now - but who doesn't wait for sales on steam?). You'll have to add ?cc=us to the url. And if lying is outside your moral bounds then it won't be an option since you'll probably have to tell them you are "travelling" (though maybe you don't need to be so specific as to why you are not in the country the card is from, or use a US VPN I guess).
I'm sure there are a bunch of places of varying trustworthyness (and levels of fees) that offer such a thing. I happened to live in the US and hence have just kept the one from then.
Freedom to make private contracts. Should WalMart not be allowed to offer you a TV for 10% of the normal price if you also contract with them to not play xbox on it?
You can always pay the full price without the contract
So you propose no jail time at all for any crime except murder?
Since no matter how small a jail time you assign to any other crime someone can commit enough instances of it to have the sum of the jail time be greater than your murder jail time (let's ignore "life" as a jail time for the moment).
Or do you want caps on totals? So that after I've commited some crime X times I can commit it as many more times as I like with no additional penalty?
Which is irrelevant to the "problem" of not being able to "prove you did it".
If it is completely untraceable then you send the CIA or NSA or CNN or whomever an encrypted description of what you are going to do (you better make sure that encryption is solid of course). Then you do it. Then you send them the decryption key. They now know that you at least knew of the plot and when two dozen organizations claim responsibility your claim has a lot more weight.
Or you just have one of your guys release the stuff and own up once the infection has been noticed (don't want to give them early warning for quarantining and so on). Tell them the details and let them find the abandoned lab. Again your specific claims of responsibility have far more weight than the dozen claims with no more than "it was us!".
So only things which have already happened should be considered?
Note that it wasn't "Hey I read this book in which X happened, how can we spend huge amounts of money to combat that?". It was "Hey I read this book in which X happened, can you guys see if that's actually a valid threat?".
Except those casino operators are the very things they want to operate in their country. So seizing assets from them would likely cause more long term harm (by causing casino operators to move somewhere that doesn't have a history for seizing casino assets).
That's how it always works. Restricting it to the same business won't work because usually there isn't a significant "same business".
You put a tariff on importing their televisions, so they put a tariff on importing your wheat.
The WTO was supposed to put a stop to that, but of course the only real enforcement mechanism it has is that very thing. "Hey the rules say you can't do that. Since you won't stop we'll let the other guy do this other thing that is also supposed to be against the rules".

Do you have to work hard to avoid everything that conflicts with your bizarre word view?
http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/01/28/challenger.anniversary.teacher/index.html - "The Challenger disaster's teachable moment"
http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/01/us/columbia-anniversary/index.html - "NASA, Texas towns mark Columbia disaster"
But yes given Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia it takes a lot for something to reach "disaster" level for NASA.
Of course I am, why would I assume otherwise?
And someone fails at english. Hint, "other" isn't just a random jumble of letters - it has a meaning.
And you believe then, because?
I'm sure that'd be high on the list in the scramble to revocer as much money as possible from a business about to die. And even higher on the list of someone who buys the company either before or after it goes bankrupt.

It also implies no one is usually there "a little after midnight", which doesn't match my university experience.
something and the web site I usually shop at is temporarily down rather than trying again later I go elsewhere or don't buy it at all.
Oh shiny...
I wouldn't have heard about this award if they hadn't tried to censor it. I seriously doubt I'm the only one. Hence Streisand Effect.

You assume they have high turnover. And you assume that bad decisions are delusional. Neither of which are necessarily true.
Because it's so easy to get a visa that allows to live in the country for a few years, even easier to get one that lets you work!
If they fill the position, they aren't delusional.

Which would be what he asked them do.

It would be trivial to make it traceable if you wanted to, so that's completely irrelevant.
Same place you would insert the external drive or flash drive.
How do you propose online play working without an internet connection?
A forged one isn't a US coin it's a piece of metal made to look like a US coin.
