Any species there that attempted to consume another might quickly go extinct
Correction: Any species that consumes another will cause the other to go extinct. If a species has survived to the point of meeting another from a different planet / system etc, then it's survival will in no way be dependent on the well being of that other species. In scenarios where cooperation is beneficial, it's usually in order to compete as a larger group against something else; i.e. to fight off predators or take down more difficult prey. Resources are always limited. If they're not being used at their limit, population will expand until they are, and then those better able to compete for them will outlast the others.
The statistical likelihood is that if any species out there is able to make contact with us, they will be unimaginably superior in both evolutionary and technological respects. I just hope they find us to be enough of a curiosity to keep alive.
What if you could prove negative damages? Exposing more people to the music makes it more likely that people will buy merch and attend concerts in the future. Then the RIAA would have to pay HIM.
Actually, no one did try to blow up a plane. If they had, they wouldn't have been let on by a CIA agent, and they would have brought enough explosives to do the job. What's happening is that our own government is telling us to be scared so that they can tell us that we should give them more power so they can keep us safe.
Actually the "war on terrorism" is a "war OF terrorism" that our government is waging against her people. In that light our government has been winning soundly.

MusicDNA was developed by Norwegian firm Bach Technology, the company that also created the MP3 file, in an attempt to combat illegal file-sharing
Sounds like that pacifist Gatling and the gun he invented hoping to make war to terrible to wage.
After a little Googling I'm finding many "full spectrum" CFL bulbs the makers of which claim will help your body produce Vitamin D.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to modulate a pulsar?
About as hard as it is to moderate a pulsar.
Notice the recent trend toward a robotic military?
Wish I could mod you up. Was it Nixon who said "When the president does it it isn't illegal"?

Cue obligatory Flying Dutchman comment.
Before making such an assertion, go look it up. The school policies have been posted. Which one was violated?
At least there was plasticine. Plasticine + wires + electronic components COULD be a bomb. An empty bottle with wires and components cannot be a bomb.
So how do they arrange for a CIA operative to help them past security?

Before claiming that something looks like a bomb perhaps one should actually know something about what a bomb might look like.
Orwell's 1984 is a warning, not a "HOWTO manual".
You should sell bumper stickers. You might get arrested for dissent though...
It'll happen, but chances are you won't hear about it. The argument could be made that the solution is to remove the humans from that picture.

It's not the dead who are being insulted, it's the living people who later became dead.
