I can't exactly tell what your point is, but if you're trying to be sarcastic and say "hey, it's doable with a car, should be on foot too", I'd like to see you walk one mile*, eat a filling lunch, and walk another mile, all in under 30 minutes.

So a little way down the line and insect populations take a tumble because of this, and the birds that depend on them.
Up until this point, I thought you were going to take an entirely different path.
Super insects! The insects ingest the water containing the runoff and inherit the new poison gene, making them inedible to their natural predators. Soon, the world is overrun by insects, and I for one will welcome our new overlords.
Show where where in that law it says you have freedom from responsibility* for your words, and I'll agree.
*Just for the sake of argument, lets say that sharing that number is a Bad Thing. Yes, I know what that number is, but I'm not here to argue whether it is a Bad Thing to share. I'm simply stating that the 1st amendment is not the be-all, end-all, do-anything-I-want-and-get-away-with-it law you seem to be implying it is. I will agree that perhaps the federal government doesn't have the power to do anything per the 10th amendment, but the states certainly do per that same amendment.
Not really the same thing. "No True Scotsman" aims to denounce Scotsman who would otherwise fit the definition of being a Scotsman by adding some arbitrary condition to the definition. This is denouncing so-called "Christians" who don't even fit the base definition of being a Christian as defined by their book.
Being required to and, should someone want to, being allowed to do that archiving are two entirely different things. I believe GP is referring to the latter.
Note that all four of them got laid before the second season was over
I don't recall Sheldon ever getting laid. Though these examples didn't all occur during the second season, Raj had that slutty email correspondent of Sheldon's, Leonard had Penny, and Howard had Penny's friend, but I cannot for the life of me remember Sheldon hooking up with anyone.
While I disagree with GP, that's a rather poor example. You are still physically torturing someone in order to get information, even if where the information comes from isn't the person being physically tortured.
Actually, I kinda wonder why they haven't yet wrt copyright length. Could Disney only afford enough hookers and blow to bribe... er, persuade enough congresscritters for a law but not an amendment?
I'm still not following what you're trying to say. If they dropped Saturday, the mail that otherwise would have been picked up on Saturday doesn't suddenly vanish, it gets shifted to Monday. So same mail overall, but Monday gets more mail than Monday used to.
I could be mistaken, but I believe the last time I looked at one of those blue drop boxes near me, Sunday was not listed as a pickup day for that box. So it's reasonable to assume that if they dropped Saturday deliveries, they might also drop Saturday pickups from those drop boxes.
With Saturday delivery:
-On Friday, a particular drop box is emptied.
-On Saturday, it becomes 50% full by the time the USPS empties it again.
-On Monday, it has again become 50% full by the time the USPS empties it.
Without Saturday deliveries, between the Friday and Monday cleanout, the box has become 100% full. So from that particular drop box, there was a 100% increase in mail on Monday.
Yeah but doesn't that mean the companies are worth 1.5 times what they were last year? That's only 50% more.
...as...
Yeah but that doesn't mean the companies are worth 1.5 times what they were last year (adding this comment to ensure the change from a ? to a . is noticed). That's only 50% more.
Y'see, there's these things called "laws" that dictate what can and cannot be done. If done right, things could play out something like this...
Government: "Hey ISP, stop discriminating against traffic you don't have a vested interest in."
ISP: "Fuck you, Government, I'll do what I want!"
Government: "Ok, you're going to jail for violating the law."
ISP: "Wait, what?"
But not like this...
Government: "Hey ISP, turn off all incoming and outgoing connections."
ISP: "Fuck you, Government, you may be able to tell me to treat all data equally, but there's nothing stating you have the power to tell me to do that!"
Government: "..."
b) It's a bad idea to move anything that has a spinning disc in it, from harddisks, to dvd-players, whatever.
Yeah, so what. Fact remains the Xbox360 is the only console in history that is famous for destroying discs. It was never an issue with any other console, not even with the Xbox1.
Really? I was unaware that a study was conducted on the PS2 and Wii (the only disc-based consoles that I am aware of where vertical* orientation was not only possible, it was practically encouraged) that showed that bumping them or moving them around was less fatal to discs than doing the same with a 360.
*Limited to vertical oriented consoles since I've only heard of discs getting scratched when the 360 was oriented vertically.

I am protected by this law

IS he brilliant, or is his niche so small, no one bothers to care to compete?
Implying one cannot be brilliant in a small niche.

Like I said, I didn't think it happened within the first 2 seasons, but they definitely hooked up at some point during the series.
I think I know what episode you're referring to. I'll have to go back and check that episode out again, thanks.

That's what they get for developing the game (or rather..buying the developer of the game).
Unless Sony owns Rockstar as well, it was the publisher they bought.

Uncle Sam will even help.
In more ways than one.
I'd be surprised if they had, considering it's a Second Amendment right :P
letting them all drop out by the exit
And go splat because the distance they fell was far, far, far greater than the distance they can fall without an umbrella.
Unless you were thinking of giving them umbrellas for the infinite fall.
Would an executive have even heard about it if the news agency hadn't made that inquiry?
The fact that "killing people" has changed to "defrosting oranges" doesn't really change the amorality of it
Yeah, um, my personal feelings about the ADS aside, I'd just like to point out that it isn't lethal.
While I disagree with GP, that's a rather poor example. You are still physically torturing someone in order to get information, even if where the information comes from isn't the person being physically tortured.
Not as confusing as how you thought P referred to Big and G referred to Pond.
And congress can make such things constitutional.
Actually, I kinda wonder why they haven't yet wrt copyright length. Could Disney only afford enough hookers and blow to bribe... er, persuade enough congresscritters for a law but not an amendment?
Ah, I thought I might be thinking of the wrong "they". I was thinking about how much mail would be coming in to the USPS on Monday.
:P
Ok, so Tuesday would be heavier than previously.
The same (or similar) thing that stops non-government entities from registering a .gov domain?
