Re: Worm Klez.E immunity
We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus. You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC. NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'. Call me paranoid but I don't actually believe that Bryan wrote this. I hope I needn't warn any of you to treat it with extreme caution. -- Anton Sherwood, http://www.ogre.nu/
The Sacred AEA Book Room
On my most recent trip to the AEAs I was reminded of the rules governing the "book room" where publishers, policy groups, and computer programs show their wares to economists. During past visits to this room this seems to me to be nothing more than advertising. This year, I did not register for the conference; therefore, I was prevented fromentering the room. Though I really did not care, I find this odd. Book publishersgive me tons offree books all the time. Why do they want to exclude me from theroom? They normally don't miss an opportunity to stick free books under my nose.So I doubt the publishers want this rule. The other entity that might desire this rule is the AEA, which wants to prevent free-riding on conference attendance.Economists may want to take advantage of the spatial agglomeration oflike-minded individuals without paying the registration fee. But, the necessary exclusion seems to occur at the main conference events. I certainly do not value a trip to the book room worth the price of registration...even if my school subsidizes my trip 100%. And the one area where most free-riding occurs, those engaged in the job search, is not excluded. You can read the message board and find the job disclosure codes publicly available. What is going on here? JC
RE: monarchy vs. democracy, wrt war
--- Gil Guillory [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ... I think there's something to Hoppe's and von Kuehnelt-Leddihn's arguments that monarchy is superior to democracy with regard to this general problem of what we might euphemistically call the externalities of war. Does World War I and its initiation by the monarchies of Germany, Austria, Turkey, the UK and Russia, fit this? Fred Foldvary Yes. But the question is not whether monarchies can or did start, or engage in, war (they did). The question is to compare monarchies and democracies and their behaviors with respect to war: how easily war is entered into, for what reasons, the viciousness of their wars, the degree of destruction, how they are ended, how good the peace is afterward, etc. Kuehnelt-Leddihn's points are mainly historical, Hoppe's are mainly theoretical.
