If you're placing IP protection laws as more important the laws relating to the violence and abuse that homeless people endure, I think you need a better perspective on life.
Are you honestly saying that homeless people shouldn't be allowed to vote? Didn't the greeks try that once?
It was my understanding that radio stations have to pay for playing songs too. If they don't pay as much as your restauranteur, well, I pay more for my drinks in a restaurant than the supermarket.
So you don't get power if the wind isn't blowing? I doubt Minnesota has a sufficiently diverse wind generation network to ensure that there's always power.
Then I'm the bad guy because I never give them what they want and she's the good guy because she always gives them what they want. Therefore they only learn to hate me and love her.
I really don't think your conclusion follows. I had (have) a very rich father and had (have) a 'studying on a benefit whilst raising two kids' mother. I certainly didn't 'love' my father more because he bought me things to replace the time he spent at work.
There's a difference between being a firm, consistent parent and being excessively strict. One will make your kids respect you, and I don't know about the other one, but I imagine it doesn't make for a great parent-child relationship.
The electricity is supplied at a massively discounted rate, but it's still metered. The discount is because of the predictable nature of demand, both short term (a few days) and long term (10+ years). Also there's often associated generation built concurrently with the refinery/smelter etc.
Actually, if you have any links to an example of unmetered heavy industrial use I'd be very interested.
My only knowledge on this subject is reading the wikipedia article, but I can tell you that this is all accounted for when working out the tensile strength required.
Also, the weight of the payload is going to be insignificant to the weight of the nanotube itself, if only because you can make the payload as small as you need to.
WoW trading cards are blurring this line already. You spend real money to buy the trading cards, then sell a code from the trading cards to someone in game for gold.
I had a rather lengthy discussion with a GM about this topic, after I reported someone for the 500th time for selling a code.
I'm still unconvinced, and I still waste GM time reporting people for it.
For people in the target demographic who earn enough money and are in a secure financial position they're not concerned about the nominal cost of a BluRay player or the movies. They're concerned about getting what's good/best for their needs/wants and that's that.
I agree I'm not the target demographic. The target demographic is people who place immediate wants over long term needs.
I should be the target demographic. I'm a guy in my 20s who earns more than most people my age but I still have a 24 inch CRT and watch DVDs on my computer.
Until HDTV offers me something useful, I'll stick with that setup.
I had some greek friends who couldn't understand why we had all the rules and regulations to follow. Apparently it's much easier in their country where you just give the inspector some cash and everything works out better for everyone.
In my particular case it was for getting a container through customs.

And? You're the 1%
I don't use them and, since I'm the most computer literate, I'd be suprised if anyone in my (admitedly smallish) company uses them.
By making that post you've probably made more people click on his link than circletimessquare's entire posting history has.

I think that's a good place to start.
Of course that depends if you consider killing peeople 'civilized'.

I don't see how your response makes any sense. Having actual talent and being 'in it for the money' are not mutually exclusive.

Unfortunately "Earthlol" is a druid, and has points in subtlety.
well regulated free markets
I'm trying to figure this one out.

Um, if some of the fireworks were CGI, then all of the fireworks weren't real, were they?
All cars are not made in America != not all cars are made in America
What on earth does that have to do with it?
err, apart from the problem of flying away into space right? The whole idea of it is that it's "top heavy"

So who's been lying to Nielsen for the last 5 years?
Most free wifi networks work like that. You have to agree not to look at porn while you're drinking your coffee.
Just put in a "I promise not to plan terrorist attacks" clause in there and I'm sure you'll be fine. It works for EULAs, right?

Look up conservative fields. Hint: gravity is one, friction isn't.
Well, that's looking at the bigger picture energy. I'm not sure how it works in reality. I'm a physicist not an engineer after all.

They use rotating pillars as sails. You still need energy to make the pillars rotate.

Poor people quibble over nickels and dimes.
No, self-made rich people do.
I see you're not familiar with the blizzard vs glider case.
