Unfortunately, free markets lead to concentration of wealth. Concentration of wealth leads to concentration of power, which leads to control of the regulatory process. Free markets invariably become unfree because of a runaway feedback loop. At least in democracy we have checks and balances. Where are the checks and balances within a free market that will work to keep it free? there are none.
To paraphrase: "Anger Leads To Hate, Hate Leads To Fear, Fear Leads To Suffering!"
I really want to mod this informative, but that's kind of precluded by the fact that the original article is so barren of information in the first place. Still kudos:)
I've said from day one that these stupid election ballots should be scantron-like becauase its inexpensive and proven technology that everybody is capable of using and is computer and human readable.
I think that some people far over-estimate the voters in Florida.
Put a group of alpha geeks in a room and start a discussion. Inevitably, they spend more time trying to prove to each other who is the smartest than they do actually pushing forward the discussion. Why is that?
Is THAT your best attempt at starting a discussion?!? What a freaking IDIOT!!!

We are at war with Eurasia. We've always been at war with Eurasia.
Yes, but not a land war. That would be a classic blunder!
Thanks! I'll have to put in an order for a new keyboard now, but that made my day.
Serves them right! My girlfriend cancelled on me a few times so she could stay home and play with her new ipod.
She told me that your random shuffle wasn't very compelling.
A great thing to remove sticky remnants is peanut butter.
Apply just a little more than a four year old would, and then rub in a circular motion.
A four-year-old would use three tubs of peanut butter if he had them. That must be some hideous stickum on those things!

Love the link. Too bad the pictures linked to from it are apparently hosted on a defunct site. On the other hand, the postings are great. Thanks!

... their non-gif stuff. I'm not about to buy a stock which is advertised with multiple exclamation !!! marks. And with incomplete sentences.
If only we can just have every one of these things submitted to /. The resulting slashdotting will simply remove their servers. Easy!
I have free sex whenever I want, 3 computers and some hot coffee.

I really don't think that GTA mod counts as "free sex". At first, sure. .
smears, cones and chafing? sounds just like apple
Funny. I was thinking of Madonna in the 80's.

Maybe I just don't want an "I'm ready to be used" noise.
Please, don't let the girls on this campus hear of that possibility!
We're all for teaching science in the classroom.
Yep. Now we have to agree on what "science" IS...
I like how ZManda's web page says they offer "Two levels of world-class technical support".
Because some worlds are just naturally classier than others. I'd hate to get their Underworld-class support.
Hmmm, that might explain the unusually large number of dead crabs I saw littering the beach around Newport when I was there earlier this summer.
Paris Hilton must've been in the area.
(Yay for cheap shots!)
You don't need to buy new iPods anywhere near as often as you need to buy textbooks however.
You do if you keep trying to flush them down airplane toilets!
Seems to me that keeping my hedge trimmed is actually a pretty good security device ;)
Don't forget to use a rubber, too!
Whooosh!
*clap* *clap* *clap*
Wish I had mod points.
I dunno. The ability to give the clap seems a lot more meaningful.
... and the server seems to be showing a very impressive vector graphic of a blank page. What great rendering!
How does the Coalsack Nebula fit into this? It's dark and it's matter, right?
"dark matter" I don't think it means what you think it means.
I'm glad you posted that. I'm much more likely to follow links in readers' posts than the original one in the slashdot story. . .
