Of course they wouldn't use $100 bills for that. You can print however large denomination you want. In Hungary the biggest denomination was 10^18 pengö. (egy milliárd bil peng (long scale) - one billion tril pengö (short scale)).
" will likely not have central trackers of any kind (perhaps it will rely on something like DHT), and will generally make it much more difficult to identify individual users. "
IIRC DHT uses a bootstrap node too. If MPAA can't find the users, then the users can't find each other either.
IIRC java 6 is bytecode compatible with java 1.1, but correct me if I'm wrong. Citing Python seems weird, as the Python 3.x breaks nearly all 2.x libraries.
Part of that what you say, but there are around 20k Chinese immigrants and 10k of them illegal. And they do lots of cloth retail in open markets and usually don't give receipts/don't pay taxes. However there's no real backlash on them from the extreme right, as tax cheating is quite endemic in the whole country (although Chinese do it in more extreme form). This how the perception goes: 1, Jews - bankers - not real work 2, gipsies - living on government child support (actually with 6 children you get more than the minimal wage). 3, chinese - at least they seem to be hard working, and use very little of welfare

Well, the Hungarian far-right (Jobbik, MIÉP) is pro Palestinian, and anti Israel, and don't have much gripe against muslims, or immigrants, as there are very few immigrants (low wages). They are more concerned about gipsies as they procreate faster than Hungarians.
Anonimity is not the problem when nice people are using it. The thing is, even Slashdot has to "punish" anonimity with a negative mod modifier to keep the noise down. There must be some kind of filtering, either for selecting the nice people who are allowed to be anonymous, or a default negative reputation modifier for all anonymous posts.
I have dual boot machine and only use Windows when I have to, Xp boots 40s for me (after boot screen). Although I have quite a lot programs installed (Virtuawin,Avast,uTorrent). On the other hand on Ubuntu I don't need antivirus, has multiple desktops by default and qtorrent loads pretty fast. Also, it seems that as the number of intsalled buy not daemon programs can slow down Windows by the high amount of registry entries. On Linux it doesn't matter how many programs you install.
Or maybe they just wanted to copy what already worked in other countries.
"Historically, the Lutheran denomination had a strong influence on German culture, including its education. Martin Luther advocated compulsory schooling so that all people would independently be able to read and interpret the Bible. This concept became a model for schools throughout Germany. During the 18th century, the Kingdom of Prussia was among the first countries in the world to introduce free and generally compulsory primary education, consisting of an eight-year course of basic education, Volksschule. "
"Aware of the inadequacy of bureaucracy in Austria and, in order to improve it, Maria Theresa reformed education in 1775. In a new school system based on the Prussian one, all children of both genders from the ages of six to twelve had to attend school. Education reform was met with hostility from many villages; Maria Theresa crushed the dissent by ordering the arrest of all those opposed. Although the idea had merit, the reforms were not as successful as they were expected to be; in some parts of Austria, half of the population was illiterate well into the 19th century.[116][137] The empress permitted non-Catholics to attend university and allowed the introduction of secular subjects (such as law), which influenced the decline of theology as the main foundation of university education."
I live in Europe (Central-Eastern Europe) so don't preach me about corruption, as I know it pretty well:) . However if we look at the EU level laws, we see that 1, there are no software patents 2, ACTA still haven't passed, despite heavy lobbying from US side 3, age of consent in most places is around 14-16 years.
My point is, if you have less crappy laws, it's harder to abuse them, even if you have stupid/corrupt judges.

IANAL
Economic boom gets a completely new meaning.
"I think we'd see the same effect that we saw after WWII, when there were similar fears. "
After WW2 the US was the only country with intact manufacturing capacities. Europe, Russia, Japan, China were in rubbles.

It's not that much different than just creating virtual "account" money, as it's had been done so far.

Please, can you name a programming language/compiler that's more backwards compatible?

Of course Serbia is different story.

Unless you use it as a desktop machine, and try to save power.

When Amazon bought Amy Street, they just deleted the music collection I bought. Yes, you read it right I bought, not rented.
"This is the same line of thinking that leads to outlawing cloning, which ironically, happens every time twins are born."
The problem is when humans do the cloning, the clone has very short lifespan.
That would grant excessive political power to zoofiles.
Software patents don't apply in Europe so your point is moot. Google just got lucky with a nice judge, that's all.
Let them all play video games, as that's the least risky.
On the video I saw it was pretty obvious what the people from the second van were doing. If you see it differently that's your problem.
Do you shoot medic vans just because they belong to the enemy?
The problem is the "symbolically" part.
I guess most of these enterprises are using Firefox on Windows. Also, see MSI installer request.
