Right, left, what the fuck ever. There simply is no problem for which more government is not likely to be the worst solution.
Oh, and Krugman is an idiot, along with nearly everyone who seems to have a voice in 'fixing' the economic mess that they themselves created. AFAICT, Krugman's whole take so far is that we haven't pumped enough money at the problem of pumping too much money.
This particular scam is popular in Germany in different guises. I can't remember the details of how the person I read about handled it, but I do know that ignoring it is NOT the correct answer. Which is one reason why the scam is popular. If someone is truly motivated, check out the expat forum toytowngermany.com, I'm sure the thread is still there.

Please define exactly what evidence we should be looking for. Until that is done, absence of evidence will NEVER be acceptable as evidence of absence. There is simply way too much that we do not know about the nature of life, it's origins or it's potential manifestations. Bit of pot calling the kettle black there Mr Hand Waver.
You know what? Fuck you and your righteous indignation. How about instead of being yet another over-aggressive knee-jerk flag waving asshole, try finding out why a growing number of people are feeling this way and doing something about it. As it stands, all you are doing is adding another entry to the list of reasons why people may want to leave. And I ain't sayin' this anonymously bitch.
B..b..b..but some dude on Slashdot told me that the man who has spent the last thirty years studying and writing about Austrian economics and who has served on the Senate Finance Committee is completely wrong! And besides, he has big ears! LOL!
If you are inferring that he was alluding to, in an extremely vague way, anyone wanting to be armed necessarily be in a professional fighting force, you'd be wrong.
For example T-Mobile will not restrict applications providing a work-around to the SIM lock feature or prohibit Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) software, such as Skype applications, that come from the Android development community, according to Gartenberg.
"T-Mobile's CTO [Cole Brodman, who also serves as chief innovation officer for T-Mobile USA] told me that he while he can't say he'd like that to happen he isn't going to restrict it or stop it," said Gartenberg. "That's the spirit of how open they are to being an open platform and the fact they understand what it's all about."
My uncle committed suicide a few weeks ago. All I'm going to relate is the position of his church implied by the words of the presiding priest. He used a quote (that I can't remember the attribution of) which went along the lines of, "When someone does this, it is no different than if they were set upon and murdered in the woods." My take on it was that the person had been overcome by some outside force. We don't have a problem who are physically overcome; we reserve our derision for people who are overcome mentally. Not very fair in light of the truth I learned in martial arts, which is that there is ALWAYS someone faster, stronger, or better trained than you. No matter how much we care to think nothing can overcome our will and clear thinking, it seems manifestly untrue in light of events like this.
"Thomas Jefferson explicitly worries about the ability of our system to have legitimate control over future generations, given the constant revolutions we go through."
Really?
"There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half, for each State. What country before, ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion ? And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance ? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two ? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." -- Letter to Col. Smith
Or more clearly:
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -- Papers, 334
and
"I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical." -- Letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787
and
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the Atmosphere." -- Letter to Abigail Adams, 1787
"Marine and fresh waters teem with life, much of it microscopic, and most of it harmless; in fact, it is this microscopic life on which all aquatic life ultimately depends for food. While most of these species of phytoplankton and cyanobacteria are harmless, there are a few dozen that create potent toxins given the right conditions. Harmful algal blooms may cause harm through the production of toxins or by their accumulated biomass, which can affect co-occurring organisms and alter food-web dynamics. Impacts include human illness and mortality following consumption of or indirect exposure to HAB toxins, substantial economic losses to coastal communities and commercial fisheries, and HAB-associated fish, bird and mammal mortalities. To the human eye, blooms can appear greenish, brown, and even reddish- orange depending upon the algal species, the aquatic ecosystem, and the concentration of the organisms."

Without taxpayers, you have no space program. Without jobs, you have no taxpayers. Just another interesting thought!
"The Earth won't fall into the Sun for 5 billion years or so, and even then, the Sun will have lost enough mass that models predict the Earth may be flung off into deep space rather than falling into the Sun."
Possible, but unlikely.
This is a good article that mentions that theory: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/solarsystem/death_of_earth_000224.html
WTF?
Quantities of what then? Digital data breaks down to bits, regardless of how it's transported.
If what you say is literally true, then they have to be converting the digital to an analog signal or there's no data either.
Better explanation required.

"Just plain old fashioned theft."
Right, because that copy you left on the shelf is no longer available for someone else to purchase...
Whatever it is, it's obviously NOT 'old fashioned theft'.
You would do well in government.
Because that's not an MS product. OSS Java implementations also existed before Java itself was opened.
Just because it's the rule of the store doesn't make it _right_.
Wrong.

After seeing 'smug, arrogant, condescending' repeated numerous times I'm thinking two things:
1 - La verdad es amarga.
2 - A bunch of folks here have really low self-esteem.
How did you get your old account back?! Lost the password for my old one years ago and would love to get it back.

How many more would be being sold without the DRM and negative comments though? Sales rank doesn't earn money, moving units does.
In short, work to live, don't live to work.

Now let's see yours.
Words fail. From the Red Tide wiki page:
"Marine and fresh waters teem with life, much of it microscopic, and most of it harmless; in fact, it is this microscopic life on which all aquatic life ultimately depends for food. While most of these species of phytoplankton and cyanobacteria are harmless, there are a few dozen that create potent toxins given the right conditions.

Well, if they had nothing to hide then they have nothing to worry about right?
