Outsold often means units, not solely sales. It's not a meaningful comparison anyway, you have to compare a platform to a platform and game titles to game titles. Compare sales of Wii to sales of tables and you'll be closer, although there are some board game compatible countertops that should fit into the mix somehow.
Viacom is not the distributor... they are the owner, by virtue of owning (and partly founding) Comedy Central. The distributors are the cable and satellite companies.
In fact, for that reason, the Daily Show absolutely needs Viacom... no one but the owner can give permission to make the show.
Now, the talent on the show could leave and start another show. But that wouldn't be the Daily Show, now would it?

You should study more religions then. The vast majority say nothing of the sort. Christians wanting to convert people to Christianity frequently claim that other religions are based on the whole "how to avoid damnation" theme, but they're typically not.
I like how you take the one part of the passage that argues against your interpretation, where it is commanded to make peace with the peaceful, and insert commentary. The Koran of course makes no such qualification, but you put it right inside there, seemingly to nullify it by making an assertion that the dhimmi concept which arose through interpretation has all the inherent force of command that the Koran itself does. In essence, how is dhimmi in its essence that any different from any number of abhorrent Christian social concepts that have been argued as correct by reference to scripture? Atrocities galore, for the glory of God, if you find mention of them. But we don't mention them very often. Sorry, I just don't buy the "look here, something ugly the others did!" argument, because it doesn't wash.
If you search the laws and customs of Christian nations through history, you will find terrific amounts of the same kind of garbage you're piling onto these other cultures... are you going to claim that in Europe such things don't count because ooooohhhh, the Magna Carta, so bing Christianity gets a pass but bong no other religion is ever excused for any progressive acheivement? It looks to me like all people justifying evil customs assert that they are allowed due to whatever system of thought they have that concerns morals and ethics... typically their religion. You can't truthfully single out Christianity from the others by that means, unless you forget about the nasty Christians and argue only towards the ones you admire. It's fundamentally unfair, and duplicitous, to argue your saints against their sociopaths. The mote quote comes to mind.
It would be more honest to seperate your commentary out of the quotation of scripture and
make an assertion of how the verse can only be applied using the dhimmi interpretation, and thus means that muslims must be perpetually at war.
But less convincing. I think you're starting with your conclusion and trying to prove it, rather than studying first and then concluding.

That's kind of the point... the rich person's money IS in the hands of a smallish company providing a service, which owes the bank, which owes the depositor. Money can be like electrical current, what's most important about it to the economy is not how much there is, but how quickly it cycles through different users.
People like that are typically too self-absorbed to really care about others, even if they pretend to. Who now? Texters? Drivers? Valedictorians? Girls?
No, you can't derive definitions due to linguistic relations between the words. Yes, emulators emulate, but that doesn't mean that if anything whatsoever is emulated, it is an emulator in the technical sense that is under discussion.
India is WAY more right wing in many ways than the US... according to what it has come to mean to be right leaning in the US. The focus of right wing politics in the US is now about moral issues, not the old communism/capitalism axis.
In India, government and society are significantly more restrictive than even the right wing Republicans are pushing for. Just try kissing a woman onstage in India!
Nothing to worry about unless the police decide to screw with you. Or make a mistake. Or
did you think that every cop was a paragon of his profession?
All in all, I think we need to worry. Solutions do not lie solely on apprehended individuals as you suggest, but rather all persons involved... including cops, policy makers, and those who elect policy makers.
Currently, my personal opinion is that if a law enforcement officer would not be justified in actually striking with a baton in a particular situation, then use of a taser should also be ruled out. Less injurious usages of batons, such as leverage, are not what I mean here.
Usage of a taser needs to be a serious matter... not a routine action.
Elephants can in fact jump and rather high, too. Just not here. They've been patiently guiding human evolution until we reach the point where we can take them to the moon.
A wider screen allows for a wider, more fully sized keyboard. I would actually enjoy a laptop that had a full sized keyboard and only enough monitor to close over it.

Doesn't matter. Even if there were other, illegal torrents there, it's against the law to take down servers with DoS attacks.

No, the people trapped in the towers all died. The ones who got out weren't trapped.
