They are saying box office revenues increased. Piracy most likely hurts DVD sales and rentals more than going to a theater. There is a big difference between a movie theater and a DIVX movie on you 17 inch LCD monitor, or if you are more crafty, a bigger TV. Its the equivalent of saying "box office revenues went up despite the rampant use of recordable media in the home". From my experience, a movie you go and spend $10 on plus refreshments, and gas (plus potentially someone else's ticket and refreshments) is not something you would download instead.
I can only say that less people are married and more is trying to get laid.
Consequence: Since you don't see the movie and you've spend the time while on the theater getting "acquainted" with her, when you get home (yes, alone of course, you're a geek what do you expect...?) you will download the movie to, in fact, see it.
you're saying that "flu or some kind of virus which rapidly propagates" (which was my description, I believe) is pandemic, right?
As such, all I can say is: check the previous link and with a little effort you can find a list of _epidemics_ and you will notice that most of them are not even related to pandemic events, but epidemics. But again, I fail to see where I describe pandemic since I just talk about epidemic and its definition.
Also just one point, in that list of epidemics, you will see reference for regional entries. In the end and to make this short: pandemic is simply a global event, by the way, an epidemic one... Just widespread to a global scale.
Never ever a commercial jet runs "on one tank", much less running on one and that single one going dry.
If you are unfamiliar to fuel distribution don't use your imagination to compensate.

1. (...) Come on. Every manager has daily/weekly/monthly reports that show the number of requests opened/closed/carried over and it flags old requests, and it sorts by age, so the oldest issue shows up at the top of the list. A manager would have seen this.
Can you please tell me which manager actually looks at reports, much less at what is written on them? You're from Mars^h^h^h^h Mercury, right?
Such affirmations in the parent triggered a few of simple questions in my head:
1) "When an object nears the speed of light, the mass starts increasing." There IS a limit otherwise we wouldn't have supernovas which the (in some cases) result in black holes, the above implies that the *limit* its not reachable, when there is evidence that points to the opposite.
2) "We can't cross the speed of light because more and more energy is required to accelerate the object." You can cross the speed of light, as experiments testify it, changing the environment in which you have *light* traveling. (In other words, you change the energy of the photons or the energy needed to travel the path)
3) "My theory" Which theory exactly? Pardon me for asking but I didn't saw any hypothesis, just something being burped. since when motion, or even velocity matters for the amount of energy? It does but energy per se is not just motion. Currently I'm being bombarded with electro-magnetic energy and guess what, I'm not moving anywhere.
On another note I cannot help but *feel* that there is something wrong with the current *believe* of today's Physics. When it comes to the borders, scientists just try to push it into fitting some strange theory, twisting old one's, instead of changing from the beginning and start questioning the previous knowledge, which could be, who knows, in fact, incorrect to begin with.

You can't get your facts straight, I'll give you an hand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemic (I think you can figure out the rest for yourself).

alcohol (so far fine, presently, as in now, I am aware of what it is)
Brittany Spear's antics (not a new pair!?!? Or you're talking something else besides boobs?)
diabetes epidemic (now I'm lost, since when an epidemic relates to something more then the flu or some kind of virus which rapidly propagates?)
