    The energy costs etc. of keeping it pure enough to not conduct would far exceed the energy costs of sufficient AC.

    Key word, of course, is "act". If it becomes bad for business to act like terrorists, they likely will cease doing so, even if they're the same sociopathic thugs they've always been. They're not ideologically or religiously motivated, after all; they're just in it for money.

    ...so what? If they're well behaved then they're well behaved.

    FB is never gonna bother to provide IP logs in my defense for free? I want to see Zuckerberg defend against legal cases for this. This must already have ruined someone's day and gives me fear for remaining outside FB.

    Sue the bastards and then subpoena the logs.

    Why do you Imperialists pigs [...]?

    Why is it always "[whatever]ist pigs"? Incidentally, I don't think the US has actively sought to colonize existing small countries for a very long time (ostensibly Iraq/the entire Middle East doesn't count since it is supposed to eventually "stabilize" at which point it will be freed, or whatever).

    A court order only happens if a judge signs off on it. Unless they tell the judge outright lies, what (American) judge on the face of the Earth would shut down a political forum?

    pdf=="for printing"

    This is why pdf's are always so specific about page layout etc. They are intended to reflect the actual appearance of a printed document, not its text or content. What you're saying is that the judge should move to .rtf or .txt, or use .odt or (shudder) .doc as the final output form that they make public. PDF is probably used instead because its slightly less evil than .doc and the judge has never heard of the others (yes, including .txt!).

    55 everywhere is a US thing, firstly. Secondly, USians tend to drive bigger and less efficient cars than Europeans, and hence our cars have different efficiency curves. I'm not sure where the maximum efficiency is, but it probably fails to coincide with your maximum.

    In military grade security, there is no legitimate reason to enable autorun, since you can always just manually start the program if you really want to start it.
