On the other hand, it seems like our rotten spirit does have one major positive impact: it drives competitions.
Competitions can be both positive and negative effect. But in general, the positive ones promote science, technology, and economic advantages. It thrives the people who were lucky enough to rig the benefit.
Without capitalism, there will be less incentive to compete and innovate. In generall, we could become happy by just contending what we have. Essentially, human evolution would slow down. We become happy little bees living in a semi-hive society. This is my perception of ideal communism state.
So the way I see it, social happiness and human individuality is a trade-off. Like any trade-off, the best solution is to find the best balance between the two sides

I don't trust my crappy hp dvd. It had gave me a few "almost working" disks. Every once awhile after a burn the verification process will report failure, but I can still flawlessly copy the file over to hardisk(one time it's a movie file, I watched it and there isn't a thing wrong with it.
still 4G of data is a lot and I don't like hanging them with a thin rope. So after awhile I par all the files to create a 10%~20% backup. Backup the backup. I am curious if anyone else does this.

If Bush got 4 more years, $100 CDN will become $200 US! =)
What I really love about foreign intelligence:
Russia told us Sep11 is going to happen. We ignored it
Russia *told us about WMD. Oh it must be true!

I don't like "multiple-guess" test since it's generally harder and offer no part mark =)

"Well I ask, what does one expect?"
no one really expects anything
but in that sense, don't ask the rhetorical question "why don't they like us"?
The producer will make their products a lot more clear if they print out the formats that AREN"T supported...
but of course they would rather have consumers staring at their product trying to decrypt its usefulness instead
