Urgh - does the text exist in a nicer format somewhere?

But with indications that it happens

But it is not the argument one usually hears from probihitionists...

I think the reasonable link to DRM is that the only reason you would ever consider Adobe Digital Edition reader is if it is forced upon you by DRM requirements.

If not for DRM you could chose a different not-crappy platform.

I don't think those point address the question: "I've always wondered if what you do with your mind during your life has any actual influence on this disease."

It is generally accepted that lifestyle has significant influence on Alzheimers risk.

The problem is not "how far YOU get with stupidity, submission, lack of responsibility and disregard for people's lives"

The problem is how far SOME OTHER people in the army get with stupidity, submission, lack of responsibility and disregard for people's lives.

So, try to regulate drinking until automatic cars save us?

Wine is pretty good, and supports a surprising amount of windows applications. I am not sure why you call it a configuration nightmare. Have you tried Wine lately?

And yet, how many of those things have a fixed monopoly prices, disconnected from marginal costs, that has been set to fit a market with consumers with a completely different median income than yours? Are you in a third world country eg.?

I wonder how many NH readers would benefit from reading in that book (a lot I guess) and also how many have no immediate access or consider the asked price unreasonable (probably fewer, but still many).

I salute your appropriate username.

Impressive work! I guess I ought to FOIA some Danish universities...

The CEO of Mozilla is the leader of a project that draws on goodwill of people for evangelism and support. Furthermore the whole philosophy of Free Software is based on the golden rule and doing social good - that is why there are high demands for the behavior and philosophy of Brendan.

And I think his statement is appropriate and encouraging.

But it is morally completely different. If you only "work with the hand you are dealt", you can claim some innocence if that means you do something slightly bad. If you actively work to expand a harmful framework you deserve rough treatment the other way.

Sort of like copyright holders that have actively lobbied to lengthen (retroactively) terms. They have no moral standing against being stripped (retroactively) of their copyrights.

"You wouldn't [download] a car..."

Why, yes - yes I most definitely would.

Because using "beta" features from Google is unthinkable?

I think it makes perfect sense to laud even small steps in the right direction (beta-quality features etc.) and comment negatively on steps in the wrong direction (removing privacy options for users).

It is. It is a point in favor - relative to countries of relevant comparison. Which is relevant since credit ratings and investment advice is always relative.

And why do I think that the original post is relevant to HN - besides being interesting, well argued and factual? Because of this: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/28232.html

Sorry to be pedantic, but your example doesn't support your claim (of not actual analysis, too little numbers and graphs, not rational).

The relevant point of bringing up ageing is that this is an area that is often brought up as a medium/long term financial sustainability problem, but one for which France has better stats (b/c of birthrate) than most countries of relevant comparison - however Krugman feels that this point is ignored by "fiscal scolds" (certainly true for the two articles he mentions).

How about "Copy this book" instead of the fake, dishonest "stealing" claim...

A less misleading headline would probably be "Windows Phone sales in the last 3 months double in Europe. Share of new sales trails iPhone by only 1% in Germany"

Awesome. $20 to them. (And finally got around to renewing my FSFE support too!)

Also, it was not a Qualcomm chip....

How exactly has US society tuned the penalty for pilots that crash (fatally) with their airplanes?

I believe the article is about _offshore_ wind.

However, in Denmark you can make an interesting experiment in several places. You can place yourself so that you are in 100-500m from a windmill AND have a road with traffic between you and the windmill.

What kind of noise, vibrations and view do you think are significant in that situation?

Having tried both the systems of Spanin and Denmark - your post doen't seem very informed.

In both Spain and Denmark the system works excellently and all the information is available for you to verify. You just dont have to do any typing.

So if you are paranoid you can spend as long as you want verifying pre-completed information. If you have better things to spend your time on (family? friends?) you can just do a quick check to see that the numbers look right.

Debunking of the sorry attempt at debunking.

Sorry, in Denmark there are plenty of good bikers that are not wearing yellow jackets and helmets. Why should they? The cycle superhighways are about safe-for-biking infrastructure, so you can dress as you like when biking. In central Copenhagen quite a lot of people bike in suits which is awesome.

Zimbra. Zimbra+Thunderbird. GoogleApps.

OK - $750/month for a room in a shared flat is actually reasonable. But if I were you, I would look at the rooms at around $1000/month. The selection should be much nicer and with fewer competitors. Then you can take your time to get advice from colleagues and probably find something equally nice for $750/month within 6 months.
