The traditional Marxist view on (bourgeoisie) families is that they maintain capitalism and the ruling class. In the case of today's neo-Marxism, this is quite expanded (see Theory) and the "bourgeoisie" seems to be anyone that disagrees with whichever variation of Critical Theory is being presented.

From the horse's mouth in the Communist Manifesto:

"It's just this ..."

"It's only so that we can ..."

"It won't ever be used for anything but ..."

I installed a reverse firewall so I could block outgoing requests for things I didnâ(TM)t approve or want.

I'll second the "Whatever.."

I signed up on eBay in 1997, had occasionally bought and sold many times over the years and accumulated a long history with positive feedback and reliable payment.

Tried to log in again a few months ago to buy sell a few things and discovered they had deleted my account with no warning. No explanation from customer support, who refused to help and repeatedly told me that it was "impossible" to recover my account. Can't imagine that I'm the only one.

Done and moved on.

Maybe. Will that end up costing more than 2 cents per mailer?

Not excusing this, but perhaps they've tried and haven't been able to redesign a mailer that doesn't somehow infringe on Netflix's mailer patent (and any others that likely exist):

And in this case, a Cowboy Neal option would have been particularly funny. /me imagines "cowboy on a stick"

Now that I think of it... I should have said "Bring back Cowboy Neal in the polls" on that recent Slashdot survey I filled out.

If you go to a download page for a file, you will see that they have 2 options: download, or import into your Mega account.

I suspect that importing into you account will simply create a reference rather than duplicating the file.

... and doesn't always work.

Blank for me on my iPhone as well. And can't click anything but the ads when I try to load this in Chrome. Doesn't seem to be beta quality yet.

I guess what I was getting at is that exit poll discrepancies can suggest where there MAY be a problem, but they are not a reliable indicator that there IS a problem. They are not infallible for a variety of reasons, lying just being the first one I thought of.

Sure they know, but will they be honest about it? One factor in 2008 exit polling was that a lot of people didn't want to admit to having voted against Obama. One reason was that anyone with anything against him was cast as a racist, and people didn't want to be seen as such. Personally, I've never been exit polled, but I would lie my ass off. My district is just about politically homogeneous, and I'd just rather not declare in possible earshot of my neighbors that I'd voted against them. There's a name for these tendencies for people to lie in exit polls http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shy_Tory_Factor

Who complains about hardware patents?

They're already regulated under HIPAA, and doubtless other regulations as well.
