In business terms however, he puts no cash in to the deal, so the 5% number is wholly irrelevant. Surely the better way to look at it is to value his time based on what he could have been doing instead (say, 1000 hours at $100 per hour, so making $100,000) then look at the return for the lifetime of the book, ($60,000 his guess) which would be a 40% loss to him in terms of opportunity cost. If on the other hand he only took 500 hours, or valued his time at $50 per hour, he would have made 10%. There are all sorts of complicated things one could do with this, but sufficed to say that just because he makes 5% on the cover price doesn't mean a thing.
Not entirely true, as an American, until very late in the 18th century you didn't have any suffrage at all, and in most European countries, the lower classes couldn't vote, as well as obviously Women.
Or they could starve without a job, or get a lower paid one somewhere else. The reality is that for people in poor countries these are the alternatives. Just because their pay is laughable in a western context does not make it bad in the context of their country.
If you're sliding backwards on that theme, you might be interested in Eugene(Yevgeny) Zamyatin's "We", a french translation of which was the inspiration for 1984, and often thought to be heavily influencial for Aldus Huxley's "Brave New World" as well. English translations are of course available, if you don't read Russian (I don't).
The enduring thing about the European Commission, which does everything, as opposed to the parliament, which rubber stamps laws, is the lack of elections to worry about. They don't go away, which is why the copyright and constitution (offtopic, but important, the comission wants Economic, Judicial and Political soverignty over all member states) are still a problem, and why Europe is such a mess when it comes to any kind of reform. Even the parliament is impotent with a 6 month rotating presidency there is no time for change of any kind without a unified need. To say the problem is gone for MS is fallacious; to say that the fines will be backdated is more like it.
But if the WTO refuses entry to EU member states, they fail to speak for a developed economy larger than the US, and thus lose much of its credibility. Russia, on the other hand, is still relatively poor.
It's (or at least I am reliably advised by University Professors) that the use of the xs' form is preferable for archaic names or people, i.e. Jesus', however for a modern name (or person) then it is better as xs's, i.e. Jobs's.
Still beaten by Eric Forth MP, who, when faced with a letter by a woman about her son's inability to afford a house where he grew up, Forth replied "I suggest your son gets a house in a grottier part of town."
You will of course find the earliest recorded use of "piracy" in the infringement sense was in 1771 by Philip Luckombe in "The History and Art of Printing", according to oed.com.
To extend the point on auctions: Since all of these domains are to be sold on anyway, wouldn't it have been much better for the entity in charge to take the money than the phoney registrars (from their point of view).
Though it doesn't help at all, sorry. the same applies though, just use the first instance of the punctuation you want to use that appears within the quotes, or after if it doesn't.
If the punctuation you want to use is in the quote, i.e. a comma, then it falls within the quotes; if it is not, then it comes after. For example, if I were to quote:
"shake off their sterile curse."
I might say:
Caeser commands Anthony to "shake off their sterile curse."
or
In commanding Anthony to "shake off their sterile curse", Caeser displays his authority.
Have you tried increasing the amount of electricity you give your mac, also liquid cooling, cos they run rather hot, just dump out your chocolate milk on to it, and watch it sparkle with speed.

America has provision in law for rendition. They should go get those perverts.
You amaze me, years are 365 days each, sometimes more.

Except that CJD is a form of Kuru, and about half of the human population are immune to it, due to our ancetors being cannibals.

We need Family-Run countries, with a vested interest by the Owner of long-term well-being, say, threats of regicide. No, wait, we changed that.

...exists in no real coherent form, and is basically epressed by the exercising of power by larger countries against smaller countries.

Hope that makes sense.
