I support Obama because I agree with him more often.
If I could find a candidate whose beliefs agree with mine and I think that they have a chance to actually get elected, then I wouldn't hesitate to cast my ballot in their direction.
Did they control for soft drink intake, or did they just compare BPA levels to obesity?
I mean, it seems like drinking more soda would increase both BPA and obesity, while switching to glass containers isn't going to stop someone from being obese if they drink enough.
I definitely get your argument that Linux users tend to expect things for free.
However, I think that the majority of people who are excited about the prospect of gaming on Linux are definitely those who are willing to pay for software.
I mean, most of them have spent $100+ for the privilege to play games, aka Windows.
The other part that is generally missed, and has been a few times already in here, is that this has nothing to do with downloading music. In fact, it may even be legal to download music.
The issue is that the files are uploaded. This means that the person's computer is making and distributing copies of the songs, which is an obvious violation of copyright.
So, while the value of what was downloaded is probably about $30, the value of a license legally allowing you to copy and distribute copyrighted material is worth a hell of a lot more than $30.
The next question, though, is how can you remove content that is supported, based on content that is insufficient to be included on Wikipedia?
According to his letter, his work was "allegedly inspired by the life of the writer Anatole Broyard." This is definitely supported by the source. It also is still factually true that it was allegedly inspired by the life of Broyard.
As an uncircumcised man, it's weird to think that it would be that insensitive.
Every now and again, I accidentally leave the foreskin pulled back after using the toilet/showering/having sex/masturbating, and even five minutes of walking around like that makes my cotton boxers feel like sandpaper.
I can prove the reliability of my memory against established facts. I can also prove that it isn't reliable under all situations.
Despite the instances where my memory is unreliable, I work under the assumption that it is. Similarly, I still go to restaurants despite the possibility of food poisoning. That is, the successes outweigh the failures.

When exactly did Chris Stevens grow up?
Obviously, it wasn't in the Atari era, where half of all games were space shooters.
Obviously, he didn't grow up in the 8-bit or 16-bit era, where every game involved you killing everything within sight - either with guns, or swords that have the ability to shoot.
Obviously, he didn't grow up in the 64-bit era, where first person shooters became the biggest selling games.
Obviously, he didn't grow up in the modern era, where a good shooter sells a console.
So, obviously, Mr. Stevens either never grew up, or he didn't grow up with video games.

A shortage of bacon and other delicious pork products is definitely a bad thing.
However, pig is used in practically anything consumable.
And, by consumable, I don't mean edible. That is, unless you eat bullets and drink paint.
Sure, they're easy to remove, but it's one more thing you need to fix every six months.

I appreciate your sentiment, but the video you posted isn't proof of anything.
At no point in the video do I see the light change from green to yellow, so it's impossible to verify the time that it remains yellow.
I was recently asked by a client to 3D print some replacement parts for his pet duck.
But he balked when I gave him the bill.
That joke is just foul.

It's surprising after all this time that people still don't understand what this case is about.
It's about Jammie uploading the songs and violating copyright. It's not about her downloading the songs.
So your note to potential downloaders should be amended to something like: If you're going to download, disable uploading.

Poor you with your white collar job and reasonable salary.

Surely you mean the Silmarillion?
I think you mean:
The fuck were you thinking working from a fucking cookbook, you fucking donkey?
FTFY
That's some nice trolling, Lou.
Do they have a legal obligation to maximize profits in the short-term, or do they have a legal obligation to maximize profits in the long-term?
I mean, I could go out and rob a bank tomorrow. I would have a lot of money tomorrow.
However, that doesn't mean that I'll be rich the next day.
There are hundreds of companies making colas.
Do you have evidence that any of them has been sued by Coke or Pepsi?
Did Franklin's taste like a hoppy IPA, or did it literally taste of pine needles?
I posted my facebook url, and it told me about facebook.
I posted my name (my facebook page is facebook.com/firstname.lastname), it gave me nothing.
I posted "skine." It gave me the definition of skin, with no chance of changing that.
Simpsons did it.
Er... wait...
It's Account Executive, you insensitive clod!

I accept my memory as being mostly reliable.
My acceptance of this is not an act of faith.
I can prove the reliability of my memory against established facts. I can also prove that it isn't reliable under all situations.

Car rentals.
If you're moving, rent a van.
If you're towing, rent a truck.
Then again, he could have been raised on, and only raised on, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
You never kill enemies, because they all turn into bunnies or squirrels when you stomp on them, and Dr Robotnick never dies.
