Krugman :'D

Why not post a reference to the argument?

What money? Their economic growth is half of the US and with strong headwinds. EU GDP is also smaller than the US by far.

That makes no sense for a satellite in orbit around the earth outside of the atmosphere. It would never point at the sun. The only issue is that the earth would periodically occlude the area of observation.

The Hubble telescope is not a deep space probe being so close to earth and doesn't use the Deep Space Network to communicate.

I keep reading it as Recluse Center...

Or University of Waterloo

The right solution would be to get women interested in technology from an early age, not by raising the numbers artificially by creating a sexist scholarship.

It's the original role and the most important one. However it has evolved into more roles, obviously.

Regarding your second point, the assumption is that the government is rational. Adult-like and not child-like.

OK, looks like we need to look at it from another level.

Once upon a time there was a group of people. They had common interests, but it was hard and inefficient to make decisions as a large group. So a government was formed to represent the individuals in the group and to tend to their common needs.

Let's go back to the present.

So one side is a big corporation that has one voice, the other side are consumers, i.e. people that have many voices. Government (at least a properly working one) is there to represent the will of the people and to give them a single voice. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Not quite the same thing, is it? We are comparing huge monopolistic corporations who use an anti-competitive, anti-capitalist technique with selling a primitive mechanical device that doesn't require a network to operate.

Are you saying that there is usually no government interference in private contracts? Or that there should be no government interference just when the consumers rights are being violated?

Nice petition, but it didn't go far enough. Why should locking phones be legal at all?

1. How can they have very high standards if they cheat? Stress is no excuse for cheating, spend less time getting drunk. 2. It's always mentioned that cheating is not acceptable at the beginning of every term in every class. And isn't it obvious anyway? 3. Yes it's unfortunately too easy.
