I suppose this is why I don't ever want to marry. I realize that I do not want to give up the independence I have; to have to compromise anything. I want to be like Richard Stallman with his iron stubbornness. I think some people are built

DMCA takedown notices? Why can't such software simply be hosted and run outside the US? I'm in Ukraine, for example, and I'd be happy to host any DMCA-violating software.

I would love to do this, but in my country it is impossible to get a (decent) job without a degree. How do you get at least an internship as, say, a high school graduate with mediocre grades and nothing to your name? You show them your open

I found the opposite effect - extreme loneliness and depression. My IRC friends were really only the close community I had. I found phone or face-to-face communication difficult, and unnatural; perhaps the internet is for introverts?

Hm, I live in the former Soviet Union and I can tell you that socialized medicine here was also two-tier: great care for Communist Party officials and crappy care for everyone else. Nowadays, we have private clinics for the rich and public
