I guess you r either a con or an a--hole. It was thanks to Saddam there was no Islamic radicalism for last 20 years till Saddam was ousted. And America now is successfully breeding generation of radical Islams in span of just one year.
Whatever else, but One has to be mentally blind to blame Saddam for Islamic radicalism.
Keep on thinking this way, I see you enjoy being manipulated by the government:)
No Spaniard should die America, let Americans themselves fight for the money of their leaders!
Nice way to promote your right-wing rhetoric! In a left leaning government there would be no problems with RIAA, MPAA because they wouldn't exists. They would be considered monopolists.
I don't know about your setup (on what OS are you?), but for me the updagrades were 100% painless, once I set up 0.9, with every update I had no rpoblems at all. That includes extensions, themes, custom profels and plug-ins.
And the update problem (that you have download a the whole installer over again) is solved (as per bugzilla).
Please shut up! Some people like Firefox others like Opera, there is no point in saying which browser is the best! Btw, you forgot to mention ads in Opera and firefox being free!
The problem with your go fulfill the gap in demand is that with monopolistic RIAA that's impossible. They will kill you, you won't be able to do shit! If the American music market did have competition, then your solution would work.
This is what happens when you let corporations take over. You get a damn monoploy producing shit quality products for a high price. And they control the government. That's why P2P exists!
They monopolised the market and now they want people to pay crazy prices for shit. I mean most of the stuff that hollywood makes is crap. I can understand paying for an independant dircetor/studio, but not for MPAA crap.
Now what happens when everyone has these tags in them and there is no need for cash? And imagine if your a disident? The government would be able to stop you from buying anything...
However, I must say that it is usefull to have an automatic paying system while your drunk...
>>Why is capitalism a "universal law"? Because it's the only real way a large-scale society can function efficiently
Bull shit, capitalism is only works because the people with money have complete power over everyone else. Just look at the USA! The whole nation is controled by a bunch of corporations. This is wrong. I am not a communist, but capitalis is certainly not the best way to organise society. Why try and combine the best from both worlds? Somethng on the line of the NEP program (with large modifications of course) during the 1920s USSR.
I think it not right that while some rich bastard spends millions on a new house other have to survive on $5 a month. It's crazy and wrong.
Just because does the mass media commercialised the phrase "the CIA is behind it", that does not make the CIA anymore innocent. History has shown that the CIA has done quite a few criminal things in its history...
hey are not a monoploy? Are you crazy? All their actions over the recent years are monopolistic. Their intergration of
applications into the OS, their delibrate concealment of standards. Remember Netscape?
The real problem now (at least in USA) are corporate fat cats who destroy competition and force people to buy their products.
Even in a free market economy once you get 50% market share it should get harder and harder to 60%, 70% and so on. But in real
life it becomes easier, thats wrong!
I am not a communist(even though I live in Russia), however American corporatism scares me. You people allowed a group whos
sole purpose is take money to take power. Don't youconsider that crazy? You put people in life-imprisonment for stealing, but
at the same time you allow corporation to add 30% on life-saving drugs. This notsome stupid cough medecine, this stuff saves
lives, how can you make so much profit on such things?
Treat corporations good only when the treat the consumers in the same manner!
What are you talking about? Teenagers or 20-somethings? I am 16 and I don't listen to pop. I agree that a lot of teenagers are dumb morrons listening to britney and friends, but a large proportion of the age group you described also listen to more underground/alternative music. Afterall, where do you think teenage non-conformism comes from?
Not really. As such there are no fair elections. All free media has been destroyed or taken over. There is only one radia station in Moscow is 'free' and they are in dager of being closed down. There is no difference between administrative and law-making government - they are one! Believe me, Russia has very big problems with democracy. About 7% GDP growth, take away the oil dollars and the GDP will most probably be negative, but the worst things is that Putin's government isn't doing anything to develop secondry and tertiary sectors.

Russia will never be part of the EU! Never! The cultural difference and the difference in geography is just too big.

Yeah, that would be a nice spyware app! and the users wouldn't know the difference! However, jus imagine how much bad PR Mozilla Foundation will get!

Miranda IM does have a AOL plug-in, however I cannot really comment on its quality as I use ICQ/MSN.

I was talking about profit margins when I mentioned 30% (as in cost-plus pricing methods).
