Like - did you listen to the alleged data to see if it was actually a copyrighted work? Does the copyright on those works all belong to the planitiffs?
Can they verify what IP address the alleded copyrighted work was uploaded from? (Eg: did it come from a single source only?) Go back a little further; can they produce anything that verifies Ms. Lindor's computer had the IP address they uploaded from at the time in question?
You are incorrect. There have been, and still are truly 'communist' and 'socialist' governments, and they work as intended. And always on a small scale. Indian and African native tribes are one such example.
Wheras, there has never been a truly 'free' capitalist market. All so far have relied on the support of governments to maintian their artificial market shortages, as seen in the concept 'Intellectual Property'.
The old axiom "Under Communism, man does unto his fellow man. Under Capitalism, it's the other way around." still applies.
"I don't want to vote Republican or Democrat, only to find out later I totally disagree with something a candidate stands for."
Odds are, you will never agree with any candidate's views 100% of the time, unless you are the candidate. Even then, you won't agree 100% of the time, judging from past politicians.
I run Distributed.net on all MY home PC's, and Symantec flagged that as malware years ago.
I'll bet Defender flags things like Nero as malware, because they could be used for nefaroius purposes that conflict with Media Player 11.
"Uh, the one where the old dude's brain gets transplanted into his young secretary's body... "

Also get 'Sixth Column' if you can find it. You'll like 'To Sail beyond the Sunset'. It's kind of a wrap-up of all his other books, including the Fantasy one I can't remember the name of.
"At least do a little homework and math before you trot out a "total of $0.06" per person."
Luckily, Dr. Les Sachs did it for me. You might want to do your own homework as to where that money actually went. Start with reading 'The End of Poverty' by the good Doctor.
Indeed, many private citizens donate a great deal of money. Tsunami relief for example. How much did the US government promise, and how much actually arrived again?
Totally ignored the Colonial Governments while introducing that red-herring, I notice too.

"Or the way that, rather than spending tons of cache on goods made overseas, that we're just marching in and taking over those economies."
Too easy. That's a 'gimmie'.
"Or the countries to which we used to supply enormous amounts of financial aid and have stopped because we now own those territories."
Aid? Since when does the US supply 'enormous' forgien aid? Since 2001, the amount of US aid that actually reached, for example, the poor in Africa, totaled 6 cents USD. Who gets rich off US aid? US consultants.
If you want a prime example of US Imperilaism, look at what the US did in Guatemala in the 1980's (remember Iran/Contra?). The US hasn't changed. It is now just under the guise of 'spreading democracy'.
Robert A. Heinlein. He wrote many stories and many books. Most of which have a recurring character who lives to be several thousand years old, know as "Lazarus Long" born Woodrow Wilson Smith, aka 'Dr. Hubert' aka many other aliases. The most famous of his books including L.L. were "Time Enough for Love", "The Cat who Walks through Walls" and "To Sail Beyond the Sunset", in addition to many short stories. Pick up "The Past Through Tomorrow" or "The Green hills of Earth" - they are collections of his short stories. That will get you started.
"If you buy a business package, you actually GET the bandwidth sold to you. "
Not from Shaw Cable in Western Canada. I had their 'Business' package and still had unencrypted torrent traffic throttled, negating the speed increase. Although they denied throtteling it, my speed went from 80k/s max on *every* stream, to 500k/s one some streams (encrypted)
I'll save everyone some trouble too. If you ever have problems with Snakes on a plane; Snakes are cold blooded. It's mighty cold at 30,000 feet.
Turn off the heat. Behold: Snakesicles.
"The Samuel L. Jackson point is important because without an actor so popular and easily parodied on the Internet, this movie would never have generated the hype that it did."
Well, that explains it. They should have cast Chuck Norris.

"so they are actively pursuing ways of crippling the spammers."
I vote for axe handles. Or, tie them to a bed, and smash thier ankles with a sledge hammer. That worked for Cathy Bates.
"Nah, the rot-26 takes the cake."
In Soviet Russia, we use only ROT-33.
"What makes you think they have "sophomoric computer skills"?"
Every Slashdotter knows, the only computers they have are Commodore 64's buried in the back yard.
"I tried to install Linux on a pile of dog shit a few weeks ago and am now wondering if I didn't somehow infringed on SCO's intellectual property."
I don't think Darl McBrideofFrankenstein is linux compatible.

"Ok, kidding aside, I actually did manage to end up with stitches in my eyebrow from a game of tag when I was young."
Stiches, scraped knees and broken limbs are part of being a kid. You learned from your stitches. It took me more stitches - but i eventually learned.
We shouldn't take the learning experiences away from kids.
That's quadrillions of grams, or billions of tons.
<PEDANTIC>"Tons" is a measure of weight. "Tonnes", is what I believe you were looking for.</PEDANTIC>
That would be a really *excellent* April Fools joke.
No, I'm not the President yet, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!
The question you should be asking is "Why is the Military being used for civillian law enforcment?"
" I seem to remember numerous pseudo-instructions from my 68HC11 days as well."
"Branch Never" - BRN was my favourite. It was common to all the 68XX line.
The logic was astounding! Load an address into a register then never, ever go there. The exact opposite of BRA "Branch Always".
Nowadays, a PIC microcontroller is the way to go. 16 pin DIP, 4 D/A's, a few K of EEPROM, 35 instructions total. Sweet!
