But on the bright side, there'd be no income tax or anything, as you'd be effectively unemployed.
No, you wouldn't. Bounties are still income for work done, so they'd still be taxable, as far as I can see.
Unless you mean "you'd be earning so little you'd be effectively unemployed" - in which case, I agree with you - you might not make enough to start paying any income tax, depending on your jurisdiction.
And when you've lied to Parliament whatever you do, don't top yourself rather than face the consequences of your actions. Have some fucking backbone.
Several doctors - and the paramedics on the scene - have expressed strong doubts about the suicide explanation, because the cuts and the drugs were probably not enough on their own to kill him. Also, suspiciously, the body was moved after his death, by persons unknown, for unexplained reasons. Finally, there was no credible motive for Kelly to kill himself.
No investigation into other explanations for Kelly's death was ever seriously performed, despite the huge amounts of money spent on the Hutton enquiry which took over the coroner's investigation into the cause of death.
This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "suffer the consequences of breaching the Official Secrets Act".
Ask yourself this - how many people have broken the Official Secrets Act over facts relating to a decision as major as a decision to go to war... and lived to tell the tale?
From browsing Orkut, I've learned that that kind of "internet shorthand" (actually it may derive from txting, not the internet) is quite common in them thar foreign parts. Especially in India, I have to say.
No companies charging for technical support relating to the software.
That's not a problem, unless you're a true communist (i.e. you're against trade, money, people being paid for their work, etc. - that's the definition of a true communist. All the others are just pretenders.)
I think that the current method using the Default Program control panel, and allowing OEMs the options to bundle other media players, and to make them default if they want is better.
IIRC that was one of the few genuinely pro-competitive things that came out of the DoJ settlement. If it hadn't been for the court cases, MS would never have put even that in.
Freedom and democracy are the checks-and-balances against truly evil and sadistic rulers. They're not perfect by any means, but they constitute the least worst political framework ever implemented.
It may be true that some dictators can improve living conditions in many ways. But if ever someone tells you that person X would/will make a good dictator without the shackles of democratic and media accountability to tie them down, be very very suspicious. How can they possibly know that for sure? And why should we trust their judgements? What if they're wrong and the dictator turns out to be a murderous thug like Pinochet?
That is why democracy is vitally important - to all peoples.
That's absolute bullshit, and I don't even have to read the study to know that.
Just because some shmucks are using weak techniques to try to "improve self-esteem" - which probably don't involve changing the school environment at all, doesn't mean that it's impossible to improve educational performance by encouraging students.

You want to talk geological time? OK, Let's talk geological time.
The programme claimed that the worst case scenario - melting of the methane clathrates - would be an uncontrollable massive acceleration in the greenhouse effect, leading to temperatures not seen on Earth for billions of years. That is geological time changes, compressed into 100 years or less.
That's not certain to happen, but I think we should be very concerned about that possibility, if it is a possibility, however small the probability.
I don't see the point. Disassemblers are already legal, regardless of click-wrap EULAs. What is not legal is modifying the code that you've just disassembled, without permission.

Not caring when someone close to you dies is the characteristic of a "user", a sociopath.

Um, yes he is. You can't spin away the title of the goddamned post.
