Can you buy it for Linux without going through Paypal?

Why would paypal be responsible for returning your money if a 3rd party rips you off anyway? Why not pay Visa for that service?
The opposite of the political liberal is not the "selfish extremist"
No, I was thinking more along the lines of the opposite of "socialist liberal".
but rather the person who seeks to apply these principles in their own life without employing force (via legislation) to make everyone else do the same.
You mean like how the selfish extremists advocate capitol punishment? They would never think of employing force (via legislation)?
Liberals are not despised for their "moderation, tolerance or love for [their] community", but rather for their attempts to codify these principles as legal obligations.
Liberals are not despised anywhere except in your country.
I guess blind people are S.O.L. as well. If synthesised reading aloud of a book is illegal, that alone takes away a powerful tool they use to interact with the world.
For something arcane like Vorbis (or the video codecs they'd like pursued) you can spend money on hundreds or thousands of programmer man-years and not get anything better.
Arcane? As in
arcane: known or knowable only to the initiate : secret <arcane rites> ; broadly : mysterious , obscure <arcane explanations>
Maybe it's worth killing for. I try very hard not to wish ill will on anyone, but I could see how someone might want to defend their land and home. That is why there is rocket fire. It is Israel's choice to make that stop. Stop illegal border expansion and the rockets stop.
Israel shouldn't have to give up its own land to have a secured boarder region.
Israel doesn't have any land that wasn't stolen. Israel is being asked to stop expanding it's territory not even to return previously stolen land to its owners. You know that as well as I do.
I can only name one single country with a muslim majority that is even remotely tolerable for anybody of any other religeon
That is only your opinion. I've enjoyed every visit to Indonesia.
Once Israel becomes 51% muslim, Islamic law can control Israel.
On that you will reap what you sow I am quite sure. I doubt it will ever happen, there's too many tyrants like yourself around.
it's pretty strange to call the recipient of daily rocket attacks an "aggressive destroyer of good will"
It all depends what you've done to deserve that. Driving farmers off their land, and families out of their houses should not be tolerated. What choice have you given them? Lay down and die or leave. Someone needs to fight for these people.
Every time I think I've dealt with the craziest slashdotter around, along comes someone like you to prove me wrong.
I'm just assuming that you are Jewish, please tell me I'm wrong. If you are from that background though and have these thoughts I would be very interested in how this came to be that within a few generations the persecuted become the persecutors.
All Israel has to do is stop expanding their border. Pretend that savage muslims are invading all you want, but Israel is the aggressive destroyer of good will. End of story.
You'd rather keep people killing each other for as long as possible, ensuring maximum death.
Not at all. I want the western world to stop supporting Israel while it slaughters people. Not once has Israel suspended the building of settlements and the removal of Palestinians from their land & homes. Until they do that they are the aggressor.
Hahahahahah!! That's awesome, you said it like you actually believe it too. Har har har. The U.S. protecting sacred land. Whooooooooooooo.
If Saudi Arabia had fallen to Iraq, the west's economies would have crashed like a house of cards.
Well its a darn good thing that the U.S. bailed them out, you know they have no money to defend themselves. If only they had some natural resources they wouldn't have to rely on a country that spends a trillion dollars more per year than it has to spend. How could you shake an economy built on a foundation that strong?

Wow, after they elected G.W.B. twice.
So what does that have to do with why people think Paypal should refund their money? My current regulated bank doesn't do that.
Right, and they hand out coffee and hugs at the U.S. border crossing? Those are very unpleasant people.

Not entirely. Like it or not, your country needs the rest of the world more than the rest of the world needs you.
I don't know.. '74 Jailbreak was a great album, I think it should remain legal.
Which is one of those oxy-moron names, like the "war on terror" which only increases the sum total of terror.

Liberals are not despised anywhere except in your country.
And being "a liberal". Apparently in the U.S. it's best to be a selfish extremist. No room for moderation, tolerance or love for your community.

Shhhhh: nobody tell them about text-to-braille.
Is that before or after February?
I don't know about that one..
So why are ogg files smaller than MP3 files of the same quality?
Now you're just making shit up.

Are you sure you are thinking of vorbis?
A hangover from weed? Never happens.
Mmmmmmmmm tomacco.
It's a lot like that. The last joint I smoked got me really fscked up.
I fully support the disappearance of George W Bush anyway.

You are the one that brought up genocide.
Well at least we've got that straight. The west doesn't care about anything but oil and money.
Bullshit you don't have Fox. I'm in Winnipeg and we've got Fox. Yours probably comes from Seattle.
Nothing to say to that one? Realise how stupid what you said was now?
Hahahahahah!! That's awesome, you said it like you actually believe it too. Har har har. The U.S. protecting sacred land. Whooooooooooooo.

You believe everything Fox tells you don't you?
Yeah, well babies in incubators and defending the impoverished nation of Saudi Arabia which exemplifies our traditions of freedom and democracy.
