I'm a pretty light sleeper. I can usually only get one decent night of sleep a week. Might as well spend it being up and doing stuff.

my question is can property rights be adequately protected by government? seems like history has proven that not to be the case. the assumption that warlords would always appear in society no matter what is just that - an assumption. on the

you're right, our banking system isn't even remotely close to being based on voluntary trade and "free market". so I'm not sure how we can even discuss this supposed failure of the free market.

strangely enough, that's not what happened when harding kept his hands off the market during the major crash of 1920-21. and why did the bankers get so much power in the first place? there is a LONG history of government centralizing, carte

you can have voluntary, free trade without government. whether it's called "capitalism" or something else can be a matter of discussion...

A fundamental flaw in the article: "The banks, however, are another matter altogether, and this is where I think capitalism has hit a roadblock. The government has intervened to save many of them, and now, these bailed out banks want to han

I rarely travel outside of the US. Currently I do use an unlocked GSM phone, but only because it is very well integrated with voip and I don't have a voice plan.

I use Gizmo5 on my e71 over 3g. Better and cheaper than Skype.

Thanks for the response. How stealthy can they really be about it, though? If it's common knowledge that this is how the government will respond, would this time-delay effect be negated? Wouldn't everyone know that dollars are being pumped,

the whole reason I bought an unlocked nokia e71 is to be free of expensive contracts and its great voip support, unlike the iPhone. if nokia stops doing it, I'm sure someone else will step up.

I'd recommend reading some Murray Rothbard before anything by Milton Friedman or Rand. It's even free online here: http://mises.org/rothbard/ethics/ethics.asp

no, that's quite alright, you've added enough nonsense to the thread already...

It monopolizes these functions by crowding out any private investment there might have been. Private companies like AT&T/Bell Labs and IBM used to do LOTS of research. Now it's all in the realm of the government, thanks to their massive

Ever hear of the broken window fallacy? You should seriously look into it. It applies to everything you say the government accomplished. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_window_fallacy It's not some amazing feat of innovation that some

Oh geez, here we go again. Let's get one thing straight, Huffington. Alan Greenspan's model has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with free markets.

These were exactly my thoughts when I got my touch. The iPhone is just too costly for me. I don't really need always on data that much. Now if only we could get voip and a built in microphone on the touch...

Work provides me with a Thinkpad T60 and I couldn't be happier with it. I would never buy a different notebook again, not even a Macbook.

How will I solve it? Persuade the government to force every citizen to live in grass huts and ride horses to work. Or electric scooters.

Almost all of my coworkers use Thinkpads. I started off on a T43, and have recently been upagraded to T60. Would never trade it in for a mac.
