I thought Xenu packed aliens into volcanoes and then blew them up with fusion bombs and now their ghosts are what causes humanity's ills (which is why you should totally not use stupid science-based medicine, it does nothing about the alien ghosts at the root of the problem).
But this is like saying "This guy totally killed someone because he asked if I could do it." I'm surprised they can flag others as downloaders just by receiving a request. Maybe they could charge them with solicitation to download or something.
Yep same reason I don't get comprehensive insurance for my cars. I have cheap cars, I have enough cash on hand to repair or even replace the cars myself so that's what I plan to do. No reason to pay the insurance company to act as a parasitic middleman.
This is my only holdup with polygamy. Maybe I'm being selfish not to support it but it's not as clearly harmless as most "alternative" forms of marriage.
Actually even though I agree with legalizing same-sex marriage I also agree with the GP that corporations shouldn't have any political voice. Today a company is promoting marriage equality and we can all agree, but tomorrow a company will be arguing against net neutrality and doing all the usual shit we hate.
A lot of people are crypto-theocrats of religions where homosexuality is a sin (mostly variants of Christianity), but most won't openly admit that they wish to force their religious rules on others, so they make up all the pretzel-logic bullshit reasons that confuse us today.
That's the whole thing in a nutshell. Get enough of those crypto-theocrats in a room together and they'll drop the facade and talk about how they want their government to follow Biblical rules and how it would be a sin to support same-sex marriage.
That would completely break the torrent though. In practice if you do that, the torrent client will see that a portion of the modified file doesn't match the hash for that portion specified in the.torrent file and "repair" the file by re-downloading the "damaged" piece.
#6 - you're absolutely right, but the legal system stil doesn't get it
#15 - hell if I know
#16 - you're right again
#20. Right again, BT clients will block any peer that transmits too many corrupt pieces
#21 - receiving a complete file from any one user is extremely unusual in Bittorrent. The only way that will happen is if only one user has a full copy of the file (happens sometimes with old/rare torrents). Usually many users contribute different pieces of the file, this is faster for everyone.
You can see the completion status of the torrent for other members in the swarm, you could confirm downloading by monitoring it over time. Swarm trackers could indeed flag each other as pirates - to get the longest and greatest number of connections to downloaders, they have to complete the torrent themselves first.
+1 will buy any new open phone with a keyboard to succeed my N900. There's always so much suspense between buying new phones for me, and it gets more severe every time.
I'm not an American and I don't say Kleenex. But making the minority who doesn't know about DeBeers' business model look it up is easier than explaining it.

It looks like the sun's asshole :-P
It still smells like pee and has uncomfortable seats.
Too bad you couldn't have made first post, that's all that needs to be said on the subject.
It's been tossed around more than a Fiesta in a Ken Block video.
Was this auto-generated? If so I'm impressed that someone has simulated the intelligence of a crazy ranting hobo.

I think you only felt it inside the Apple Reality Distortion Field.
I had one before it was uncool. *flips scarf*

Pick up that can.

Hell I don't care. If he wants to have a straight-pride parade, he can go for it (wait, isn't that Mardi Gras? :-P )
Well then Facebook should close up shop right now, they grow by eroding mankind's concept of privacy.
Maybe it would be better to push for universal inter-adult marriage than same-sex specifically.
The only form of inter-adult marriage that can be bad for outside parties is polygamy, but there doesn't seem to be much desire to legalize it.

Same thing that killed the Wii and the Kindle book reader, will then never learn?
