Well, I've known several people to try to use it. All were approached exclusively by cash-cheque-forward-money-scammers, and one got burned for almost a grand. None of them got approached by a single legitimate person.
They must have been pretty stupid to have not seen how that is quite clearly a scam.
Translation: "Americans can't have cheaper gas because some corporation might make some money. It's worth it to have poor people suffer just so you can stick it to those nasty corporations."
Except even the most generous estimates from sources like the DoE point out that it would lead to an insignificant effect on prices of gas and oil. So basically this plan is just as worthless now as it was years ago.

Blizzard is well within their rights to ban cheaters. On the other hand, they have no right to stop something from distributing code that in no way violates any of their copyrights, patents, etc.
Yet last year I lost 30 lbs by changing none of my activity levels but I took in 800 less calories per day and my story is in no way unique. Apparently your "observed facts" don't fit reality as much as you think.
Not only a well developed middle eastern country but also one with excellent relations with the US. Why everyone seems to hate one of our strongest allies (been there several times during my stint in the Navy).
Because of the fact that despite the veneer of anti-terrorism that they like to put up, they are just as shady and underhanded as the rest.
No, the word is of Greek origin. It's not the fault of the USA if your country uses the word contrary to it's origin meaning.

Put my reply in context. There are exceptions to "the rule", but "the rule" is you cannot freely copy what you own. Copyright protection wouldn't be protection otherwise.
Except for the fact that what the AC pasted WAS THE RULES. Did you miss the part where the link was to the U.S Copyright Office's webpage?
Maybe in the USA, but the UK has very different standards for libel.
No they don't. You pretty much have to show the same standards of the statements being malicious and you have to prove damages. They aren't identical, but they are far from being "very different".
And one has to prove actual damages which would be impossible to prove. Hence if Britney sued, the case would be dismissed in no time for no actual standing to sue.
Public figure doctrine (absence of malice)
Special rules apply in the case of statements made in the press concerning public figures, which can be used as a defense. A series of court rulings led by New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964) established that for a public official (or other legitimate public figure) to win a libel case, the statement must have been published knowing it to be false or with reckless disregard to its truth, (also known as actual malice). [13]
Under United States law, libel generally requires five key elements. The plaintiff must prove that the information was published, the plaintiff was directly or indirectly identified, the remarks were defamatory towards the plaintiff's reputation, the published information is false, and that the defendant is at fault.
The Associated Press estimates that 95% of libel cases involving news stories do not arise from high-profile news stories, but "run of the mill" local stories like news coverage of local criminal investigations or trials, or business profiles. Media liability insurance is available to newspapers to cover potential damage awards from libel lawsuits.
Since there is no actual malice in the part of the content on that site, there is no case for libel

I thought plan9 was Lucent?
You mean except for the fact that it predates the founding of Lucent by a decade? Secondly, Bell Labs and Lucent are the same company.
Because what you do is clearly representative of what the rest of the world does, right?

massive failures all over the place that result from using lead-free solder
Citation please.
It certainly was.

Fixed that for ya.
Were you intentionally trying to make the GP's point?

Can you translate that to English from buzzword-laden marketing speak, please?
Windows is no longer associated with BSOD.
Exactly. During the early days of Vista it was the Red Screen of Death.
This doesn't make any sense, if you think about it.
In what world does that not make any sense? The rest of what you said is just nonsense that it doesn't even deserve a real response.
The hilarious part is people were saying the same thing about gamers during the 80s and 90s.
Because the vast majority of people don't have HDTVs or surround sound systems. By most estimates HDTVs have a market penetration between 8-12%.
They'll cam anything.

Except a comparison between IIS and Apache is actually analogous while comparing an OS versus a Windowing system is far from analogous.

Yes, I am. How sweet of you to notice. *blushes*
