Are you suggesting that a little bit of healthy voter intimidation and rigging isn't Democratic?  Considering the games the ancient Greeks played on their days off, I imagine that's exactly what they had in mind.  You can't possibly believe that people should be able to decide these things for themselves - that would be absurd.  I know a disturbing number of "adults" that I wouldn't let make any decisions involving me, let alone a whole country.

Common people - yuck.  <Shudder>

Democracy is listening to every citizen's probably disturbing voice. Electing people to replace you as a member of the adult people (demos) is ridiculing me, oligarchy is not actually a synonym for democracy.

It is now - what you were taught in school is of little value in real life.  If "the people" don't know what's good for them, a little helping hand from uncle Vladimir will sort out all their petty problems - or at least create whole new ones so they forget the old ones.  Besides, it's not oligarchy (Putin's just a figurehead), it's pseudocorporatism (a more "polite" and socially acceptable form of Stalinism for the modern age, where things actually get "done" - so long as no one asks "how" they get done).  When I start up my own pseudorepublic I'll be using the same type of system, just with more flowery language and less leather jackets and bear wrestling. :wink:

[quote="nikos"]I tried to explain the licenses in the blog post but here we are again:

* you don't need the ultimate version unless you want portability

$20 to upgrade to ultimate version for me (not bad)

So what else do i get with the ultimate version?

x²'s history has shown that there is something major (ultimate) that the maximum (professional). I wonder what the next step will look like. :)

So is the grayed-out RE field in mass rename dialog just a tease?
