Not literally every water mollecule. There's A LOT of chemical reactions that produce water as a product or byproduct. If I remember my chemistry classes correctly, these water molecules were possibly created.
We're talking about finance here. It doesn't matter directly if your industry is "good" or "bad", "useful" or "futile". What matters is the uncertainty and the trends around this industry, thus influencing where "people" wanna invest in this industry or not (same thing replacing industry with company).
Just to clarify, here's the options that currently have most of the votes regarding the implementation of the blackout (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Action):
1. Blackout US only (the blackout component would apply only to users geo-located to the United States), global banner: ~480 votes 2. Global blackout and banner: ~590 votes 3. Full blackout (close off editing and reading of the entire site): ~760 votes
Personally, I'd prefer the last option, applied worldwide.
It's called an "Installed Base" and it includes pre-existing configuration, know-how and reputation (trying to speak from a BES admin perspective (which I'm not anymore)).
"Each State's contribution is calculated on the basis of its share of the world economy."
"The primary criterion applied by Member States, through the General Assembly, is a country's capacity to pay. This is based on estimates of their gross national product (GNP) and a number of adjustments, including for external debt and low per capita incomes. The percentage shares of each Member State in the budget are decided by the General Assembly based on this methodology and range from a minimum of 0.001 per cent to a maximum of 22 per cent, and a maximum of 0.01 per cent from least developed countries."
For example, turn off every power plant and factory that is not at U.S. emissions standards (China, etc.) and the whole climate change problem simply vanishes.
Imagine we found another planet, with another intelligent race on it, and for whatever reason we decided we should destroy them. I can't think of an easier manner to achieve that than to build a huge bomb/spacecraft, disguise it as an asteroid and put it in a route that would seemingly pass very close to their planet, but miss it by just a little bit! This way they would probably let it pass by, unsuspecting. And once it's close enough we just use some rockets to get it to hit the planet and then boom!
The US has been emitting CO2 frenetically for decades now and the first year China surpasses the US it becomes "China and the rest of the third world countries" fault?
You have the illusion of power to change government.
There, fixed that for ya.
Before you answer with "You can vote", choosing between two different colors of embezzlers isn't really "changing the government". Yeah, the name changes, but the outcome is always the same.
I would say it's a bad choice for a name. In portuguese "Jumento" means ass (the animal) and is a relativelly common adjective used to indicate something/someone dumb.
I was on this trip with some friends (none of us are native English speakers) last December through Central Europe and we met this Scottish guy at the hostel. He ended up going out with us and after a couple of beers the guy just started talking and talking and talking. The thing is, none of us understood squat of what he was saying because his accent was so friggin strong. We would just nod and say "yeah" to pretend we understood him and keep the "conversation" going...

Just a small correction: "Same offer they gave Brazil". The FX-2 contest hasn't been decided yet.
Ha! I bet the Mayas didn't think we would have night-vision capable humans by now! Maybe 2012 will not be the end of the world after all!
Yes, and that's probably why the airplane was able to land after the damage suffered.
It doesn't mean that after getting shot you don't have to repair the equipment.
Same reason for both: money.

Better yet, no more polluted water!

Da har du ikke sett alt.
Just to clarify the UN budget argument:
"Each State's contribution is calculated on the basis of its share of the world economy."
"The primary criterion applied by Member States, through the General Assembly, is a country's capacity to pay. This is based on estimates of their gross national product (GNP) and a number of adjustments, including for external debt and low per capita incomes. The percentage shares of each Member State in the budget are decided by the General Assembly based on this methodology and range from a minimum of 0.001 per cent to a maximum of 22 per cent, and a maximum of 0.01 per cent from least developed countries."

Are you kidding me?
Yeah, middle of winter is probably earlier than June 21st and middle of summer is definitely after December 21st...

Finally all those people running around saying "The sky is falling" are going to be right!
Penguins are the 1%!
The only way to make them pay is to literally increase the heat on them!
Let's speed up global warming to get rid of the 1%!!!
That virus would actually be useful.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "future often-rumored Apple TV?".
