I think the worst one for me was a KFC ad, not only was it the same ad for every slot, it was also a 15 second ad in a 30 second block. The next week when I wanted to watch that show I went for the torrent instead.
If I'm buying something at your sandwich shop and come up 2 cents short, you would be considered a jerk to tell me I don't get my sandwich. Something tells me that principle doesn't scale when I'm buying a car from you and I'm short $10k.
Your proportions are off. If I'm buying a $2 (for nice simple math) sandwich and come up 2 cents short, that's 1% of the price and the shop still gets a nice profit margin making them generally inclined to sell it to me. I think if you're buying a million dollar car they might let you off on being short $10k.
No kidding, I frequently download cracks for games I've actually bought even if the copy protection is nothing more than a CD check just so I don't have to get the CD every time I play. CD keys are even more annoying since I tend to keep my CD cases in less convenient places.
For me at least, its because Linux doesn't have the same assortment of games available to it. (although I actually own my copy of XP, student discount FTW)
Anything that could really be considered critical (from a governmental standpoint, not a corporate one) should already have priority by virtue of being on a private network.
For that matter we should have some kind of Constitutional Council, to be made-up of the 50 state legislatures (and 2-3 delegates of their chusing), whose task is to nullify any Congressional acts they consider unconstitutional. The U.S. Court can have its opinion, but ultimately it was the 50 States that formed the original contract and they should have the right to ignore non-contractual grabs for power.
That's supposed to be why we have Congress in the first place, to represent the rights of the states in the government. Any new government body would have the same problems the current ones have.
There's legislation pending that would give them the authority, whether they could actually do it is another question. Even if they can it would primarily affect US based users and hosts. (which, while significant, do not constitute the entirety of the internet)
So in order to have a control group you have to have two non-control groups? You didn't add a control group to their study, you added a non-control group.
That only works if Linux users are not statistically different from non-Linux users in their purchases of video cards. I would be very much surprised if that were the case.
Being forced to have insurance is one thing, its the lack of a government provided option or price control. As it is now, there's hardly any difference in price between liability only insurance and whatever the next level of insurance a given company provides.
Or it could just use C instead and the only way to find out that it had would be to get a significant number of people to check their votes together and tally them by hand.
Indeed. One way or another, almost everybody is paying for it (at least from the male perspective). I've never understood how dropping $150 on a casual date and getting laid is regarded as morally superior to dropping $150 on a hooker.
Main difference is the terms of the contract. On a date you pay out the money and hope you get laid, with the hooker you agree on getting laid (or you get laid, depending on local customs) and then pay out the money.
ADHD isn't about getting attention from others. People with ADHD have trouble focusing on just one thing and/or trouble sitting still for any length of time. The inability to sit still often manifests as attention getting behavior, but that's more of a side effect than the cause.

In order for us to not elect lousy officials there have to be non-lousy officials to elect.

They aren't watching it exactly, they're in the room when it's on, doing whatever they have to do at that time.
Actually the story says that most people do skip the commercials, but by a narrow margin. (46% is less than half)

To save money they hire local home improvement store employees to fill out their riot squad.

This is why I think they need to keep the name, at least that way there's no misunderstandings.

Well, if you really wanted to free up bandwidth you'd probably want to go after porn. (not that anyone would actually try to do so)

Except that the license is only valid in Holland and they are also required to block Dutch users from accessing parts of their site.
How about if they get try to get ahead of things and instead say "Users may NOT download from this site."

Or the programmer understood the same things that Joe Random did but also amused himself by parsing the grammar literally.
What if someone else needed something from her?
Just don't drop it outside.
If the fees were awarded by the court you'd be right, but this is them settling out of court so it can be whatever deal makes the suit go away.
