So people like us/.'ers who know ways to block advertisements have little use for this. The rest of the people probably won't know or care enough to utilize it. I suppose there's a middle ground in there something, but I think the bottom line is I'm impressed by how much nothing this accomplishes for the end user.
I suppose it does help cover a business' rear a bit in the legal department.

I'm not sure whether he is impossibly lame or awesome, and I don't think I care. Now excuse me while my head explodes.
I didn't say group uniformity was neccessary. I didn't say any single person should have their right of speech revoked. My proposal is that an actual number of people IN the organization would be shown to be in agreement, rather than abstracting it to the entity level. Once again, it is FAR different to say "The RIAA..." than it is to say "X people in the RIAA..." The former is an abstract entity. The latter is a concrete number of people.
Refrain from straw manning arguments in the future.
As the other two child posts have said, it's the idea that each individual person has the rights guaranteed to citizens, but not the overarching entity they belong to. In fact, I would find this more representative. While they organize into these groups to identify themselves, I hardly find it likely that every person shares the EXACT same ideas. Instead of saying "The RIAA thinks..." we'd end up with more, "# of members of the RIAA think..." In this way, we could get a better idea of how the individuals in the entity think, and can then see where there might be room for compromise or mediating.
This is more a complaint with phishing in general, but why on earth are people so gullible? Is it so hard to do a quick search on the web? Send an e-mail to the corporate address of whoever claims to be contacting you? Pick up a phone and talk to customer services? Shoot, even asking a friend for advice would be better than nothing.
In this case, we're talking about the Chief of Interpol. Someone impersonated him to try to get information on a case. A case that they discussed. At a summit. IN PERSON. Whoever might have the information would probably have a direct line of contact to him, or an indirect line through a superior. I certainly hope no one fell for this because it is so ridiculously easy to figure out proper procedure, at least in my opinion.
It seems this one has been fixed already, but if you get infected in the future, here's one way to fix it so you at least won't spread the plague too much. Other methods exist, but this is how you could do it if for some reason you only wanted to use Twitter's main webpages.
1) Make sure you've got a script-blocker, such as NoScript.
2) Disable scripts from Twitter and TwitImg (or whatever the image server is, I can't check it now).
3) Navigate to twitter.com/USERNAME#
4) Right now, you lack a lot of Twitter functionality, but the Undo button should still work. Click it.
5) Twitter should tell you it's attempting to undo. Wait a few moments, and then refresh.
6) Repeat 4 and 5 until you successfully cure yourself.
7) Don't use Twitter again until the exploit is fixed.
8) NOW you can restore your original settings.
No, the reason I didn't continue on is because I don't have an eidetic memory or complete encyclopedic knowledge.
To actually answer your statements though.
A) We cannot see every individual water droplet from the ground, but instead perceive the amalgamation of those droplets in the atmosphere as more concrete structures known as clouds. It's interesting to note the English definition of bind(ing) is not exhausted at "an object that ties another object together." It also applies to cohesion. It is, in fact, the sixth definition on a list of sixteen. Cohesion is the property of water that allows it to stick together.
B) A tent is an object that frames an area. In like manner, a curtain is also an object that frames an area, especially in those days where they might literally frame rooms with ceiling to floor curtains. In the case of the passage, the earth is the object, and the heavens (or the atmosphere) frame it.
And I'm not going to be one of those Theologians that demands you agree with me. I'm simply presenting the information as I understand it, and you are free to do with it what you will.:)
No, it's actually just the first idea that came to mind. The point was simply people will question anything given the ability to do so. You're right though, to be fair, culture and government frown upon questioning the holocaust.
As some have said, the Bible doesn't make mention of the Earth being the center of the universe. To expand a little more though, Job referred to the Earth as "hanging upon nothing." (Job 26:7). Isaiah described the Earth with the Hebrew word "chugh", which can mean "circle" or "sphere". (Isaiah 40:22) How to take these observations is an exercise for the reader, but they do agree with astronomy.
At the risk of starting a shitstorm, see the people who believe the Holocaust never happened. If an idea exists, it's likely some entity believes in it and will find/shape evidence to support it.
He's offering information and his opinion as an individual in the legal profession, as opposed to being the OPs actual counsel in a legal case. At least, that's how I would understand the difference.
Well, games are a type of software, right? I'm not familiar with the exact licensing language used, but would this decision potentially make reselling video games illegal as well?
The United States relies far too much on cheap Chinese goods, because people demand lower prices. You can't get lower prices by making things here, because we also demand higher wages. Higher wages get passed on to the consumer as higher prices.
With the obvious out of the way, what you propose would shake both economies severely. People are willing to pay for the price of goods as they stand right now, which is with cheap foreign goods on the market. If these goods suddenly take a hike due to a tariff, then people will be less inclined to buy ANY goods, whether they're Chinese or domestic. Not only have you cut off Chinese revenue from exports, but you've also cut off revenue retailers over here make by selling those goods. In addition, if retailers can't sell stock, they won't order it, which negatively impacts the shipping industry. Also, if there's no demand for Chinese goods, then they will produce less, utilizing fewer resources, which impacts the raw materials market. Raw materials affects gathering and manufacturing jobs. Those in turn affect manufacturers that make the tools they would utilize. Etc, etc, etc.
It sounds like one hell of a slippery slope, but the global economy is such that one ripple can generate an enormous wave. There is no such thing as a "one size fits all" solution to the problem.

The view counter doesn't update in real time. I'm not sure exactly how often it does, probably every few hours.

This might be overly optimistic, but oh well.
If this is an advertising stunt, does that make the old GOG.com a stunt double?

4 = 5 for exceptionally large values of 4.
They're just trying to lure you into a false sense of security. Then they'll do absolutely nothing about it!
On the other other hand, classifying the few odd PETAbytes is pretty easy. *ba-dum-pish*

There are people who don't believe in gravity. Is that a bit more relevant to your interests? :)

Federal Appellate Court != Supreme Court. Of course, the Supreme Court isn't guaranteed to hear the case, but there's still room for appealing.

Did you devote staff to keep track of the staff keeping track? After all, they might have gotten lost in a sea of licenses!
