In some countries it is ilegal for the government to buy anything without a bidding, and from the article it seems that swiss is one of these. So, it is a matter for suing.
If universities issue degrees for people that are not qualified enough, their degrees have no value, and they aren't much less of a fraud than if I start printing degrees in an ink jet printer. They don't fail people because they prefer to milk their money. The employers are also to blame, because they are lazy, and it's easy to filter people based on them having a degree or not. So people end getting a degree because they are required to, even if the quality of these universities suck.
I remember seeing that mythbusters and remember I understood that they drove terrible bad, and that it was an horrible idea to let a blind person drive with voice instructions. I think the myth was busted, but I'm not sure.
All new cars made here in Brazil already run in both gasoline and ethanol that is totally clean. All our gas stations sell ethanol. Biodiesel is just a way americans found to deny they are behind in green fuels and avoid using not invented there technology. Ethanol is widely used for decades here, the cars are mostly made by GM, Ford, Fiat and VW, not some strange brazilian company like you may be thinking. This biodiesel is a pointless bullshit, pushed just to protect a market that wouldn't be able to compete with our ethanol.
BSD made what apple did at a minimum cheaper, and it turned to be the only competition to MS that gained more than 1% marketshare. It lowers the entry barrier, and puts competition in the market. IMHO, far more interesting than GPL's results.
In Brazil, RJ, some drug lords that "own" certain neighborhoods demanded people to shoot photos of the voting machines, using mobile phones. Proving they voted in whoever they chose.
Don't blame entire countries because of the people your out-sourcers end contracting. I'm in one of these countries, and I know how fast and bad executed are the recruiting for american companies. They don't expend more than between a day and a week searching. These HR firms are gold-diggers that know you guys have loads of money, and that you don't expect much, so they pick the first worker they think they can bullshit you in, and ask for a lot more than they pay for him.
I had to look more about this network degrading when playing mp3 and found this link at zdnet, that sounds far more convincing than your tinfoil bs about copyright: http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=724
âoeThe connection between media playback and networking is not immediately obvious. But as you know, the drivers involved in both activities run at extremely high priority. As a result, the network driver can cause media playback to degrade. This shows up to the user as things like popping and crackling during audio playback. Users generally hate this, hence the trade off.â
Mac OS X used BSD. It is paid just for what was developed over BSD, as BSD is still available for someone that doesn't need Apple's work over it. So, I count a Mac OS X user as a BSD user, and I think BSD is being way more sucessfull than GPL on the desktop.
I never buy anything announced with an "ask us" price tag. Unless there isn't an alternative with a more clear pricing. I found that usually, when the price is hidden, it's a bad price.

And ethanol is clean, and cheaper than gasoline.

increase in life cost without cheaper work from outside would turn USA into shit
Is there any case where it makes sense for someone to declare stolen property to the IRS?
17% in Brazil, but you will be dead if you need our public health care, and the school system is a joke.
C# was a bit faster for me, all with the default settings. c# made it in .45s, c took .5s
they can just make campaign donations before they are elected
AOL only leads in the US and nowhere else.
You have so much free trade that you can't drink a coke properly made with sugar. The irony of drinking a better coke than americans :P

There were already better evidence with gravity lensing or something like that. The evidence for dark matter keeps growing larger and larger.

I don't like online games, so I would still prefer a moded console.
