I'm not sure if I recall correctly: Did they not pay their workers as low as 7$ per hour?

If so; That is in a sense slavery.

Are you referring to the state's TV license?
If so: You don't have to pay that, less you do have equipment for decoding the TV signals.

I thought the U.S. was a plutocracy :^)

The best time to kill flash was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

Please comment more about the LEGO pieces you print...
Quality (sturdyness, fitness, colourproof) , cost/mass etc?

WHAT? 167 posts all not mentioning LEGO?!?!?!

Please somebody make me my LEGObot ( Stackerbot? )

I prefer something international, like e.g. http://www.newearthtime.net/

AM/PM is crap.

60 is crap compared to 100, but at least the linked 360-hour system is easy to 'mental sync' with GMT.

DST etc. is crap.

Some mods extend the lifespan of a game.

Then there are 'mods' that enable continued play when the official online game portal collapses.

E.g. FAForever is a community made lobby better than the original for the best RTS game ever; Supreme Commander / Forged Alliance.

I truely should patent "negative light".

Producers and publishers could produce and sell two-tier CDs:

One CD with compression though not as vile as today. It's ok for poor soundsystems and noisy enviroments. Car, iPod, work(?) etc.

Two: A well-mastered record. Preferably a DVD or Blu-ray with higher sample depth (24 bit) and frequency.

And in addition they can give the radio-stations a super-compressed version.

This requires more work of the Audio Demeneers, though.

Good: CD quality 44kHz / 16-bit sans lossy data compression.

Slightly better: 24 bit in 96kHz or 192kHz.

Requirement: A recording sans post-performance bullshit like volume dynamic compression, supersampling, multi-recording, reverb, auto-tune, filters, mixing or whatever the stuido cheats are called.

Musician ==> microphone ==> recording.

Note: I deliberately oversimplified this.
I do understand that heavy processed music may be needed in noisy enviroments, but I want none of it on my high fidelity sound system.

Amen!

24-bit and 192kHz is probasbly nice, but it is pointless unless the performance, recording and processing is well done.

How much of a philantropist is B.G. any way?
I mean; isn't the anti-malaria project just another business?

I know little about this (thus I'm likely wrong), but don't they demand reciving countries to accept some crazy silly copyright agreements?
Which of course is getting B.G.Foundation or whatever it's called quite a bit of money from 'someone' ( *IAA I assume?)

Or I do recall reading some such. Please correct & enlighten me.

Taiwan is an island. Its governement is the Republic of China. Which is not to be confused with the People's Republic of China.

So there are two countries that call themselves China.

This post is not meant to argue with Parent Poster, but to make an effort into combating ignorance.

Was that a bird? a plane? no it's the SUPERJOKER!
