Yes. what he probably means is that his money will be worth based purely on the market, where everyone can participate and prices equal out over time, as opposed to now, where the worth of money is decided by the few we select. There are multiple ways you can interpret democracy through. The current system is democratic too - we elect those who govern our money.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Bitcoin designed to be botnet proof? Sure - the more recourses you have, the more bitcoins you will mine, but also the overall difficulty of mining bitcoins increases for the entire network as a whole! (Here is a wiki entry https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty graphs of current difficulty here http://bitcoin.sipa.be/) Another overlooked factor is that the network capacity is important too - it's whoever has the longest proof of work wins. The gold rush days of bitcoin will soon be over. What we will see next is the value of bitcoins rise, and get divided into smaller portions, eg. bitcents, bitmils, etc.
So, yes, I'm saying that anyone who's downloaded those documents has, in fact, committed a crime.
In fact, not just a crime, but a Thorughtcrime! Merely possessing the non-approved classified material as a memory in their brain and being conscious of it is a thoughtcrime...

possessing this material which is not a secret anymore and also accepting that it is a secret at the same time.. doublethink
Not necessarily increasing censorship; I'm worried that the government there will start to impose more strict regulation on the IT companies and introduce other laws and regulation that make my business more difficult to operate there.
Google should do this: Develop a special sign / sticker that you can stick on your property - it will work kind of like a robots.txt file but for your home. Then your home should be blurred out from Street View. Also, your home address should not be searchable via Google Maps. Perhaps the sign / sticker could have special options which allow you to customize what to blur out.. eg. blur out the windows only, blur out the car / garage only, etc.
Copyright laws protect the little guys as well as the big guys. Tough copyright penalties mean that there will also be tough penalties for breaking the GPL license which is also enforced under the terms of copyright law. People should be educated about copyright, and what better way is there than to enforce strong penalties and make a kick-in-the-balls tough example? Otherwise the message does not get through. I am all for it.
GPL specifically allows anyone to distribute GPL'd code, but only if the distributed code is also GPL'd.
You cannot take GPL'd code and put it in a commercial product, that would be infringement on copyright and the license itself.
Copyright law is designed so that there is an incentive for people to produce original work. It is designed to protect artists, designers and programmers, etc, so that they can live and produce creative work without the worry that someone will exploit or abuse their work.
For example, if you create something that everyone wants, then you have the right to be rewarded for you work - especially if the work was something that required a lot of effort.
The incentive may not always be money. For GPL, the incentive is that by creating new GPL software, you will also help the cause of GPL and help other GPL programmers with creating more software. The GPL license ensures that you will be helping other GPL programmers, instead of helping commercial software.
The gained ability to quickly master languages would help them with mastering all languages fatser, including the one that they started learning first.
Many great English authors were bilingual and yet managed to develop linguistic abilities far beyond most of us who grew up learning just one language.
For example Henry Miller, who first learned German; and Joseph Conrad, who first learned Polish & French.
Also, I would think that your brain would idle more if you just learn one language.

Yeah..I agree..but with source distribution you usually get README and INSTALL files that tell you exactly what is going to happen during the installation process. Most importantly, they sometimes contain useful tips for making the program run more secure.
On the other hand, Rpm files dont tell the whole story. Ok.. you might do a "rpm -qpl" to see where the rpm installs to, but in the end its not going to.. for example.. tell you that you need to change the default password!

Free trade increases wealth. Here is a simplified example of how it works:
Alice has produced 100 cups, which to her are worth only $1 each.
Total wealth of Alice = $100
Meanwhile, Bob has produced 100 plates, which to him are worth only $1 each.
Total wealth of Bob = $100
Alice has lots of cups, but no plates. She will pay $4 for a plate from Bob, because plates are not available where she lives.
Bob has lots of plates, but no cups. He will pay $4 for a cup from Alice, because cups not available where he lives.
Alice and Bob meet, and agree to trade. Alice gives 10 of her cups to Bob, and Bob gives 10 of his plates to Alice.
Alice now has 90 cups at $1 each and 10 plates at $4 each. Total wealth of Alice has increased to $130 (because $90 worth of cups + $40 worth of plates = $130)
Bob now has 90 plates at $1 each and 10 cups at $4 each. Total wealth of Bob has increased to $130 (because $90 worth of plates + $40 worth of cups = $130)
Both Alice and Bob had their wealth increased.
That's why Free Trade is so important.
Analog is continious.. We can never measure an analog signal exactly. We can only estimate measurements into fractions, eg. the length of a book is 12.347 cm. Fractions are not exactly decimals?

Your definition of analog might be wrong?
Analog is continious.. We can never measure an analog signal exactly. We can only estimate measurements into fractions, eg. the length of a book is 12.347 cm. Fractions are not exactly decimals?
