While you make a good point, the ESRB ratings are not decided or forced by the government -- you don't even need to get an ESRB rating for a game in order to release it, but many retailers want it.
So while the US does have some overly conservative values, for the most part they are not enforced by the law to the extent that they are in Germany.
Userscripts still are quite a bit more clunky on Opera, as is their adblocking option.
Yes, they are both there, but adblock plus and greasemonkey on Firefox are much more functional and easy to use.
Actually even if you leave the US and renounce your citizenship, you still owe taxes for 10 years.
I don't think I've ever heard of someone getting extradited for this, though.
Stuff that splatters.
Since it fostered a community of covert P2P in Japan. Winny's successor, Share, and its successor, Perfect Dark, are both programs that use Freenet-like encryption and ensure anonymity of the user. IIRC the dev only posts new versions on Freenet and Share to begin with.
While the encryption isn't perfect, it is much more secure than torrents; with Share or Perfect Dark you can't even reliably tell who uploaded or downloaded what and when.

You too can donate some of your income to supplement the almost 3 million donated this year!

Why should we drop all that "mumbo-jumbo"? Economics is the study of human actions such as production, consumption, and most importantly, TRADE, of which this article is about.
I sure as hell wish I could go into a astronomy or physics related article on Slashdot and say that because I don't like what they are studying, it is invalid or untrue. Well, I could, but I wouldn't get modded "Interesting".
Are you saying that private property cannot exist without government? That's a bold claim.
But at some point, if everyone is a smithy, won't supply outstrip demand sending prices falling and making other professions more lucrative?
All it takes is one pirate with high-end equipment, and then it is on the net for everyone. Meanwhile, the regular users who want to play Blu-rays on their PC are fucked over.
Are you implying that either the VA or Medicaid is GOOD?
Well don't that beat all.
That's essentially a state-granted monopoly, though.
Happiness is twin floppies.
