I genuinely don't believe you can effective competition in a free/regulated capitalist market unless there are a large number of players. Large to me means 5-10. My belief is that economic policy and regulation should be geared around maximising the number of competitors in a give market.
This is an issue entirely separate from monopolies abusing their supremacy in one market to gain undeserved share in another market, however the latter could not occur if the markets were regulated as described in the previous paragraph.
If you picked the right county to rig votes (i.e. votes are going to be close+election system is vulnerable), a handful of people could completely change the outcome of the election.
so you deliberately make #1 sound nearly impossible when they are both equally likely
You've fallen for the corporate propaganda. You will always be shit upon by people more powerful than you because you are one small voice that noone hears.
You are a little naive surely - do you honestly believe women are now physically attracted to skinny/overweight pale men, rather than tall/strong/powerful men? That's not my experience.
My guess is that any of Microsoft's patents could be coded-around trivially - therefore their patents, once revealed, have no value. Their only value is as a bargaining tool (cudgel).
You're unpleasant and judgemental - go back to your Friends and your Cheers, I'm sure they suit your intellect perfectly.
Those of us who are sufficiently open-minded to watch a comedy show before deciding whether it is any good or not will, I'm sure, be in for a treat with the third series.
I believe it is true in both the US and the UK (where I reside and thus possess at least a passing familiarity) that you would still be able to detain someone until police arrived if you were confident that they had stolen something.
I heard good things about Alien Doom so when I finally downloaded it I turned off the lights to get the most from the experience.
For the first 20 minutes or so you are creeping through corridors, always wondering what might appear around the next corner. Nothing much actually happens except that the corridors gradually become more and more covered in alien slime. You go through several levels without actually seeing any enemies, even though you know you must be getting closer to their lair.
All of a sudden an alien jumps at you out of nowhere.
I have never before and never since been more scared by a computer game.

The solution IMO is to limit the size of the media and ensure diverse competitors.

Well old bean, not only did you do just that, but you made yourself look ignorant and unintelligent in the process. Toodle-pip.

"I don't think there is value in having a huge number of languages...Their value is in communication"
There is no guarantee that English/Spanish/Chinese/whatever is the most efficient or effective language of communication.

This post is the biggest stereotype I have seen in my life.
it is no doubt vastly offensive, and it sucks that people believe this
or Bush talking about "US leadership" on the global warming issue..

BURYd for being prejudiced/uninformed/borderline racist.

Don't you mean, "Their taking are jobs!!!!"
No, wait.....

I've seen some of their clips on youtube and they're pretty damn funny!!
Over here in the UK, the main Aussie telly we're blessed with are neighbours and home & away - I would swap war on everything for neighbours any day!!
well he's spelt ambiguous wrong....

"out of personal hatred for President Bush."
you're rather naive, aren't you?
It sounds like you're saying the scots are prisoners ;)
