Education does have benefits, that doesn't mean that having it as a requirement for jobs where it is not needed is a wise decision. If you want an effective post-secondary education system, it might be a good idea to cut out degrees for the majority of cases. Dcotors probably still need a formal education, and some other jobs like that would still require a number of years of study. There are a large number of jobs that could have a requirement of vocational training and classes for a degree at a technical institute. Otherwise, merely offer classes. Then, you will have a system where people go to college to learn, and the classes are tailored for people who want to learn. The system will not encourage great deals of debt because it won't be a promise of more money.
In this case, absent further evidence, you can't convict either with even a standard of preponderance of evidence, the standard typically used in civil trials, since it is equally likely that it'd be either twin based on genetic evidence alone.
The standard of 'beyond a reasonable doubt' is a good one, and you seem to be ignoring other elements. For one, there's questions on the efficacy of punishment in deterring crime, especially crimes that are not premeditated. There's also the tendency for those who have been imprisoned to become hardened criminals, so imprisoning innocents leads to the creation of more criminals. Also, even rumors of rape without even a formal charge can be quite harmful to someone's personal and professional life.
Wikileaks didn't break any laws as far as I'm aware, and tghere's no evidence of death from that release. Even if there were, the blame lies on the government in it's use of illegal and unneccsary actions. Also, your stance is horribly dangerous. If the actions taken were right, then the law is wrong.
Giving in to RIAA thugs won't make them demand any less, but will instead make them see themselves entitled to that and more. Google shouldn't be rubbing their back, they should be bloodying their noses.
As for fortified Mountain Dew, that would certainly be preferable to ordinary Mountain Dew healthwise, although there may be some issues with bioavailabilty. However, while fortified Apple Juice is almost the only option, while fortified mountain doesn't exist.
Part of it is time and effort. I love to cook, but sometimes I don't have the time to do so. You can live reall cheaply if you cook, but poor people tend to have larger families, meaning they have to spend all of their time working and taking care of the kids. Junk food is cheap and pretty quick.
Apple juice has a decent amount of vitamins and minerals in it, and a low glycemic index. I can't think of any fruit juices that don't have a lot of at least Vitamin C in them. Fruit juices don't have as many nutrients as V8 or Milk, and they have more sugar than water, but if you aren't drinking fruit juices exclusively, I don't think it's a real health concern.
The US court system is full of feet dragging as well. The profit is made by threatening to sue in order to get a settlement. They won't make money in court, but they can scare would-be defendants into settling for a few grand each in order to not be named as a defendent and to not bear the costs of a court case.
True, but it's a descriptive term. Space marines are marines in space. If Space Marines was a band or a manufacturer of electronic hardware, they would have a strong argument.
While what you say is true, it's also worth noting that a ton of the terminology in science fiction, as well as a bit of the terminology in actual usage, is rooted in the seafaring tradition. Even the terms 'spaceship' and 'starship' are a nod to that. A lot of developments in navigation were developed first for ships or used most widely there, and those terms make for an easier understanding of what's going on when traveling in three dimensions. It's much like how a ridiculous amount of our language is tied to horses. Another thing to note is that 'marines' are no longer exclusively operating in the oceans, and space marines sound way more badass then 'space army', 'space troopers', 'space soliders', and such. I will agree that it is a bit lazy, but being lazy is one of the best things about humanity. Laziness is why we invent.
The companies aren't doing these favors out of the goodness of their hearts of their patriotic duties. They are getting something out of it, whether they are literally being paid to do so, getting legislation in exchange, good favor from the government, etc. Also, it's worth noting that a lot of government action is at the behest of corporations, typically in actions that the corporations couldn't legally do themselves, but occasionally actions that would be legal, but expensive.
Believe it or not, there are ebooks that are legally published outside of B&N, Google Play books, Amazon, and iBooks. Project Gutenberg has a ton of them, and some are legal in the US but not anywhere else, and some are legal in Australia and not anywhere else. A great number of articles are published under permissive licenses, and I have released content myself that would fit this category, albeit it in PDF form as opposed to eBook. However, if I get around to publishing another update for it, I will probably include an eBook update.
I'm confused. You think people that upgraded ships were in the wrong? They may have been legally in the wrong, The majority of their business may have been in aiding criminals. However, there are plenty of legitimate uses for such upgrades, including better defense against pirates and privateers, so outright condemnation is innapropriate. Also, I seem to recall reading that pirates were usually ordinary people who got upset with the fact that they were forced into slave labor on a ship after being kidnapped. So, even literal pirates were usually the good guys, if anything.
His post is not cordial on the subject, but I doubt that he was literally unaware of those things. I'm guessing that his intent was not to be taken literally, but more in the sense that a parent might take if a child wishes to become a cellist. Also, while it's a bit generous of me, he also might have been speaking about a solo cellist, which is what this article is about. In that case, it does seem to be more or less the truth outside of Yo-Yo Ma.
I think his statement is more that cellists are an area with low demand and a more than adequate supply, meaning that it's an area that won't have a good chance of supporting said musicians until one of those factors changes. That's not a statement that there should be no live musicians, and it's not even speaking of live musicians in general, just cellists. For example, there are also probably not that many people that make a living as kazoo or Jew's harp players. They are fairly easy to learn, and not widely used. Baroque instruments are not trivially learned, but there's very, very little demand for them. In rock settings, it's relatively easy to find bands as a drummer, as guitarists outnumber them about 10:1 and a guitarist can reasonably fake on bass. A good mandolin player can have a fairly easy time in bluegrass settings because guitarists and banjo players greatly outnumber them (in my experience anyway). I would think trumpet and saxophone players don't have all that much trouble, since there are lots of genres that make use of them, but they are less common than standard rock/pop instrumentation.
You are making a lot of mistakes. One, you are assuming that drug users don't already have steady jobs. At least in regards to marijuana smokers, all of them I know have jobs except for a few students.
Two, while it is true that legal drugs are not necessarily cheap, a competitive market that isn't taxed or regulated to death is going to be considerably cheaper, especially if such actions result in the loss of control by cartels.
Three, you seem to think that the legal availability of drugs will result in increased drug abuse. The opposite is probably the case. Being legalized means that addicts can more openly seek treatment. I've also seen some good arguments that legalization of cocaine would pretty much destroy the meth market.
That requires putting a copyright notice and the permission notice, and the license is a great deal longer. I see no advantage other than a silly concern for people who believe that some words are nasty or bad.
A fast upload still provides a great deal of convenience for uploading HD videos. If you don't want to spend all day uploading said video to youtube, a fast upload is a must have. Also, it would be of great importance to someone videoconferencing.
what the fuck are you smoking that makes you think it's fraud? Fraud involves deception, so unless one party was confused about who or what they were dealing with, no fraud has occurred.
Also, nobody is 'receiving IP.' You receive a copy. 'Receiving IP' would be a transfer of a copyright, patent, or trademark.
Yes, the title of a bill is certainly indiciative of what it really does or means. The fact that 'theft' is in the title is, if anything, evidence that it's not theft because the titles of acts are generally political posturing that has nothing to do with the law itself. Copyright infringement is not theft technically, legally, or morally, and this isn't even copyright infringement since it's legal.
That's assuming that a payment processor won't arise to fit the needs of non-US business. US business is substantial, but as more and more value exists in non-US payment processing, someone will fill the gap since the rest of the world is still a big market.

That's assuming that experience cannot be harmful. If someone has to unlearn bad habits, you are better off with someone without said experience.

It's better for the guilty to go free than for the innocent to be punished.
