If the two brothers are both adults and are not under duress, it's ok. Same with the brother and sister. Or the mother and son. A person in a coma can't consent. Neither can a ten-year-old boy.
By that definition, everything in the universe orbits everything else
Not exactly. There are limits to the distance over which gravitational fields operate. The Earth's gravitational field doesn't operate at distances past the age of the Earth X the speed of light.
I barely touched a computer getting my CS degree. Most of my assignments were handed in as code (in the specified language) hand-written on paper in pencil.
Actually, one good way to determine causation would be to repeatedly modulate the human output of greenhouse gases and look for a corresponding climate change.
hardburn's conclusion was that climate change is occurring and is directly related to human activity.
The conclusion to be determined by the models of ocean currents (and which are probably highly impacted by the implications of TFA) are what the effects of that climate change are.
There is an implication in this that one's own decisions could be subject to some kind of Butterfly Effect. Our brains could be considered to be a complex enough system to exhibit that sort of behavior.
Quantum physics does not allow one to solve any problems that systems based on classical physics cannot solve. It just makes the resolution of some select classes of problems faster.

Get a new argument, please.

A couple hundred of us should sue him for equally frivolous, but distinct, causes. Let's see how he handles a couple hundred simultaneous lawsuits.
Or even a literal "new one".
I volunteer you to be the first to have a GPS shoved up your ass.

Well, that, and I think you'd find that the ones getting laid off wouldn't be the cruft. They'd lay off the productive workers preferentially.
Soylent Green is people.
If I brandished my firearm and they refused to leave, I'd kneecap him and then call the police.
If ever there were a reason for punitive damages...
Bullshit. Any real geek has a humongous pile of machines at his disposal. Multibooting is for the weak.
I have a feeling that bartender wasn't talking about an actual law that exists. I suspect he was just full of shit.
I trust outsiders with my feces. I don't trust them with my data.
And I trust my electric company up to a point. I still have backup power systems.
Time to find a different dentist.
WHOOSH!!
I wish there was a way to find out who is on the other end of the line. That way I could give their own social security number back to them.
His experiments obviously proved that Faraday wasn't "worthless".
I thought it was more like 30 years ago.

This is a straw-man argument.

Shown to be questionable != said to be questionable.
I don't have a problem with anyone getting behind either side of this issue, as long as they're willing to back up their contentions with evidence.
Many water shortages today aren't cause by a lack of water, but a lack of clean, fresh water.
Wasn't there recent evidence that dinosaurs were warm-blooded?

Then how do you explain Quantum Bogosort?
