By the same logic, am I 'thieving' when my browser caches or displays their images? The only difference is that google is passing the images on, and I'm not. IANAL, is that difference critical?
Also by the same logic, am I thieving when I access text on their site? Is google breaking copyright when it provides the first sentence or so from each result on a search?
Zaurus is formed from the root Zaur- Zaurius would be formed from the root Zauri-
That would make the plural of Zauris either Zauria or Zaures, depending on the gender.
And while I'm on it, virus is not an uncountable noun. Virus in latin means a potent liquid such as a medicine or a poison. It can be in plural. The correct plural is viri, but that's a little confusing because so is a form of 'man'.
>>There are 4 boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order. Starting now.

And when you do use it remember to attribute it to Ed Howdershelt and not the grandparent poster.
The quote is in kernel hacker Gene Haskett's sig, where it is happily and properly referenced.
Please check facts first. He has been a Professor of Management at Monash Uni, and is currently an (honorary) prof at the School of Business and Economics at Monash. Allan Fels is also Dean of the Australia and New Zealand School of Government.
Actually, a total of 36 Dancing Ladies are given, as all previous gifts are given again on subsequent days. So another 9 ladies on days 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Communism = the system where ownership over production and its factors rests with the labour force.
Economy = the system in which resources are allocated and transformed by production.
Communism is, therefore, unavoidably associated with economics, not government. Classical upotian commmunism is defined by the lack of government (see Engels). Socialism, on the other hand, is defined by control/ownership of production being held by the Government (and, theoretically, ergo the people). So you can say "socialist government", but "communist government" actually makes no sense. If you're going to split hairs, don't rely on colloquial definitions.
To paraphrase yourself, perhaps you meant to say "multiparty democracy" vs "authoritarian government".
Except $100 now does not have the same value of $100 in 9 years, in real terms. Assuming an inflation rate of 4%, $100 in 2012 is worth about $70 now. But your argument holds, more or less.
before we *ank*, let us review history. True, the founding fathers acknowledged the role of the armed public militia in keeping government honest (as I acknowledged), but the role of the militia in supplanting the standing army is well documented:
"It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and
standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expense with which they afford ambitious and unprincipled rulers to subvert the government, or trammel upon the rights of the people."
Justice Story, cited in Joseph Story. 'Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States'. 3 vols. Boston, Mass.: Hilliard, Gray, 1833,
2: 607
The right of the people to keep and bear
arms shall not be infringed; a well armed, and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country
- From the Madison Resolution for Amending the Constitution, June 8, 1789.
I can't be bothered looking up any more references, but that'll do...

Gawd some people scare me. The reason Americans hold the consitutional right to hold guns is because the founding forefathers thought if the public was armed, it could form a standing militia - ensuring government responsibilty and removing the need for a professional army. The right doesn't have anything to do with defending your self from the local punks, however.
Anyway, the whole 'guns are tools' argument is so stupid it's almost funny. By that logic, it follows that, since nuclear weapons are tools every house in the world should be supplied with one. Guns can be used for hunting, and nuclear weapons can be used for medical research and DYI open cut mining, so they both have alternative purposes. Bring it on, I say.
Hell, if the right to bear arms is a fundamental right, why aren't the Americans out giving weapons to everyone? Cuba needs some. I hear they have a shortage in the middle east. The taliban seem to be running low. The Americans invade the national sovereignty of autonomous states in the name of the greater good, so why is the dispensing of weaponry any different from medical aid if they're both fundamental rights.
Anyway, that was silly. I should reply to people who are either a) right wing zealots b) trolls c) thick d) unfunny.
Not quite - 'television the drug of the nation' perhaps (Disposeable Heroes of HipHoprisy), or 'religion, the opiate of the masses' (Karl Marx). Hey, the words full of pedants just like me.
So if you consider the orginal statement that myths such as changelings are based on deformed humans, you're now saying that the changeling myth is based on humans who were grossly and horribly disfigured to look like... humans? ARGHH!!

So each Dancing Lady costs $120 odd.

I am the only one that finds these statements contradictory?

Obviously you need to get into money laundering. hah!
