probably related to the tone of his reply. had he said "the person suing is not the author of the book, they simply own a trademark of which they believe the book and anything related - e.g. reviews of the book infringe upon." he probably would have been upmodded.
in the world of argument facts are informative & insults detract from your point.
In a proportional representation system, would Harlem have any representation? Would anyone in North Dakota be represented?
if i vote for a candidate and he doesnt get elected - does that mean i don't have representation? the short answer is no. because i will still have a chance to vote in future elections, so my views are still valid and if the candidate who is elected does a lot to piss me off, in the next election i may decide to vote for some other candidate that he only narrowly beat just to get him removed from office. the long answer requires a lot more thought than i have done on the subject.
you're not excluding anyone from having representation - they do still get to vote. if noone else votes for the same candidate as them then that candidate will not enter office and not represent anyone. this happens in every voting system.
that's why we kave preferential voting here (Australia) our system goes like... voters number them all in order from favorite (1) to least favorite (n) count votes, remove candidate with least number of 1s re-count votes using the second preference on the ballots voting for removed candidates. remove bottom placed remaining candidate re-count using second (or 3rd for votes with both removed candidates in spots 1 & 2) preferences of ballots for removed candidates/ repeat process until someone has over 50% of the votes
this also helps to alleviate the thought that voting for a third party is a wasted vote (well it would except half the people i talk to don't actually know that this is how our votes get counted)
sound's perfectly straight forward. so straight forward that i bet they dind't even feel the need to document it in the manual you get with your device.
i just really wish the makesrs of every other media device could have had the user in mind and allow that instead of forcing you to go through some random hacking about with your PC doing stuff like dragging and dropping.
the jiggling conical green object in the video you linked to actually had the parts from a vibrator at the base of it, and was specifically designed with tittilation in mind. (he went to a sex store to look for the most usable vibrators for his jelly, and tested various moulds some with vibratows inside them.
tagging that as dildo wouldnt really seem that inappropriate.
This Law would require ID/papers at all times (you would either need to prove you had the required papers or that you didn't need them) have fun travelling with these rules that may even prevent you leaving the country.
I'm sure if they had full memory of the traumatic experience of having their genitals mutilated they'd probably bitch about it a lot more.
People don't complain about what happened in their infancy because memory only goes back so far. That doesn't mean you can just do what you like to babies.
mutilate (mytl-t) tr.v. mutilated, mutilating, mutilates 1. To deprive of a limb or an essential part; cripple. 2. To disfigure by damaging irreparably: mutilate a statue. See Synonyms at batter1. 3. To make imperfect by excising or altering parts.
i would say it fits into all 3, some may disagree on some of these but you can't say it doesnt fit at least one of these definitions.

i didnt see the word racist in his post. was it some sort of easter egg and how do i unlock it?

you called your utility board to complain that your service provider cancelled your service because you asked them to?
Please, how is this patent any different from real world bargaining?
real world bargaining is two entities negotiating the find a price* they both find acceptable.
this is one entity using information they believe about another entity to determine what price they will sell this for.
i don't understand how you can see these as the same thing.
i dont suppose you actually know what bait and swith is.
because this has nothing to do with it.
Why ask why?
because it's fun and interesting........

oh wait..
his accomplishments as among the greatest in human history.
you should probably learn more history.
Neil Armstrong was one of the greatest men of the last century
so what did he actually do that would make one call him great?
He may host it himself, but he can't make money from it using automated object recognition, because Google has just been awarded a patent for it.
no, he can't make money from it using automated object recognition be cause he doesn't have the software to do that.

Apple updates iOS for phones up to 3 years old
yep and the hardware of the older phones cant handle the new os updates. the phones are then rendered near unusable. YAY!!!
laws and reality are two different things
This Law would require ID/papers at all times (you would either need to prove you had the required papers or that you didn't need them)

bah replied to myself instead of you
If someone's alibi hinged on their ability to fly like superman and the opposing side didn't present any evidence one way or another
if opposing council did not point out that the alibi was completely unbelievable then they would soon be looking for a new career.
I wasn't actually talking about circumcision but okay.
1. I could live without arms too. Foreskin is essential to those that wish to maintain full sensitivity in their knob.
2. No because you can always add them back. If you were to permanently remove the ability from the hardware I would consider that damage.
3. Perfection is relative. But I would say fake tits are imperfect
How many bitch about it later in life?
I'm sure if they had full memory of the traumatic experience of having their genitals mutilated they'd probably bitch about it a lot more.

Rare as in will not happen often
Inevitable as in will happen eventually
these are not contradictions.
how many infants agreed to be circumsised?
