Yes, purchasing real estate outside your jurisdiction puts you at the mercy of an external party. Traditional methods to mitigate this problem (genocide for instance) are frowned upon.
extra tree growth (which will come to haunt us later when those trees decay and the limit of extra tree growth caused by higher CO2 levels is reached) You're right! lets cut down all the rain forests to prevent that disaster from happening.
That was exactly my point. Inventions made by non-risk capital investments (like state funded reserach) should never be eligible for patenting.
The original argument to allow the illegal monopoly is that the investors want a guaranteed return to fund the research. That does not hold if the research is funded without those investors.
How much more expensive are everyday products we buy because of patent trolls
Or because of legitimate patents: A patent is designed to increase the price of a product to the highest possible level the market can bear. For drugs this means a 1000% mark-up at least, based on the price drop if drugs go 'generic'.
Interesting viewpoint. How much does Oz contribute to DARPA for the use of internet? Or to England for Penicillin? Or for any of the thousands of inventions funded by non-Australian citizens? But that would actually cost money, so that cannot possibly be fair.
Hi - we've developed and tested a new technology with your tax money, here it is, and here is how to use it. Please pay more money for the privilige of using what was yours already.

I'd say he's guilty, as in guilt by association in the third degree. I'm not worried until somebody is busted for being tied with Al Qaeda in the sixth degree.
Hm, I guess when the terrorist downloaders will occupy the US and abduct the population to labour in their hidden DVD factories we're gonna be sorry.
But until that happens allow me to snigger derisively at your reasoning.
targeted are a way better - atleast its some interest to them That's a common mistake, the problem is the targetting always seems to work like this: Hey you bought a PC yesterday; so you're in the PC buying demographic; so we'll serve you a dozen ads for the last thing you will need for the next couple of years...

All cities used to have their own local time. The railroads were the first to push for standardized time-zones.
The distance between the US and Greenwich is increasing, so continental drift will only make it worse.
restricting adults from marrying 9-year-olds
Is there a Godwin's law equivalent for that?
Ok, you convinced me. Now where can I get a version to run on a piece of hardware that is within two orders of magnitude from any practical relevance.
Photos or it didn't happen.

One Australian who was on a UK payroll 11 years after the discovery is enough to claim eternal benefits?
I think you made may point only stronger.
That's because of the population density. NY is almost completely empty compared to northern Finland

Fixed that for you.
You mean does it run Windows 7?
They changed it because the Americans wanted to be subjects of the English king and not an independent settlement.

Why do you want a manual?
Just modify the source until it does what you expected.

I can jump to stupid conclusion very well without reading folkloristic software patents, thank you.

Exactly, point 3 was actually:

Sure, just like the catholic and anglican churches are opposites.

I think the better word for communist control of the population and rampant capitalism is probably fascism, and no, that's not illegal.
You mean gasoline prices are now a driving force for human evolution?
