True. Also, there are no US import tariffs on steel, clothes, food, cars... And of course, these non-existent tariffs are imposed at far higher rates on necessities than luxury items, so it ends up costing the poor more of their disposable income than the rich!

It's not the judge's job to argue the defendant's case for him
Correct. But seeing as the defendant doesn't actually have a case, that's not actually relevant. He's going to lose, and he's going to have damages awarded against him.
Now, it's not the defendant's job to decide on punishment. It's not the prosecution's either, or though many seem to believe so.
That is the judge's job, once presented with the facts of the case (which the defendant is more than capable of doing).
The amount of damages is in the award of the judge. If the judge chooses to ignore notions of natural justice, then the defendant if screwed either way. If not, then a lawyer is liable to cost him more than he'll save him.
How can any person defend themselves against a multi-billion dollar corporation with teams of lawyers on salary if said corporation gets a bug up their butt?
He doesn't need to defend himself. He actually did everything he was accused of. Hiring a lawyer is simply throwing good money away.
Trials are supposed to be fair
He's got no chance of victory. He's going to lose. Now, he's got to choose between paying a lawyer to help him lose, or not bothering.
why should Apple computer be able to ruin someones life through financial means just because they have multi-billions of dollars and he has..
The wealth of the litigants is completely irrelevant. Since he did the crime, and and ignorance is no defence, je doesn't need to hire a lawyer. He should plead guilty, or no contest, ask for his naivety and stupidity to be taken into account, and throw himself on the mercy of the court.
If he still gets ridiculously harshly punished, tough. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
The fees are based on Scrabble's point system, with 1 cent per point.
So that's why the cheat code in MS Minesweeper is "XYZZY". They're working on the principle that people won't share information that costs the $0.36 for everyone they tell.

Before stating how you believe that Global Warming is a myth perpertrated by scientists after funding money, demonstrate your knowledge of the area by describing, briefly, the three of the following five things:
i) The propagation mechanism for Rossby Waves ii) The primary sources of deep water formation in the Atlantic iii) How a western boundary current is formed iv) What Meddies are. v) What a pycnocline is.
If you can't, you don't know anything about climate dynamics, and you're not smart, you're just recycling someone else's opinion.
Exactly how does your statement invalidate his position?
Well, his thesis is that anyone who wants to commit a gun crime can get a gun beforehand, if she's smart enough. And that's true, if the perpetrator is planning to use a gun.
What he misses, is that quite a lot of gun crime is not premeditated. Guns are used in un-premedetiated gun crime (crimes of passion, for example, or road rage assaults) because they're to hand, and usually legally owned. If they're not to hand, the perpertrator of such an unpremeditated would be extremely unlikely to run off, acquire a gun illegally and then return anduse it.
Sure, he might beat his up victim, but beatings are have a considerably lower fatality rate than shootings.
we'll be able to see the missing chunk of the island for ourselves.
You won't. The Welsh have got a lloaking device. (OK, that seemed funnier in my head, and only the if you know how to pronounce the letter ll in Welsh [and yes, that is one letter]).
Depends where you are. English is the primary (only) language spoken in much of Wales. In the North Western corner, however, Welsh is taught and used widely as a first language.
a nuclear terror attack is plausible but not inevitable, and that there's no way to precisely gauge the odds.
However, if the answer you come up with is this one -- i.e. "erm, maybe, we don't really know" -- it's likely that it wasn't as good a question as it first appeared.
The Welsh didn't tell the atlas publishers where Wales has been moved to, so the atlases will keep showing Wales where it always was.
The exception being the European Union Eurostat project which cleverly omitted Wales altogether from the map on the front of their Statistical Compendium.

I understand it plenty.

Preston, in England, has a public WiFi. It's not free, but neither are the one's under discussion here.
If he still gets ridiculously harshly punished, tough. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
And given that he *must* have been aware of the

ii) traceability
of his leaks, he's a particularly stupid adult.
Spare your sympathy for people who deserve it.
OS X 10.3.8 was released to the internet, but most discerning Apple users sent it straight back.
Well, because the reviewer is also the person who posted the story. And he filled it with his oh-so-hilarious French Person impersonation.

It is, but outside of the North, it's almost never used outside the classroom (and to follow the rugby commentary on S4C).

It's not.
You're wrong.
No, I meant the other one
However, if the answer you come up with is this one -- i.e. "erm, maybe, we don't really know" -- it's likely that it wasn't as good a question as it first appeared.
Here's handy, because I'm three relevant things:
