My guess is that their beef isn't with people who drive the speed limit, but rather with people who drive no faster than the lane to their right.
If you aren't driving faster than the lane to your right, then you should move over. Sure, it's the law if that's what motivates you, but more importantly it's the right, proper, social, moral thing to do. Share the road.
This message is not directed at the parent AC; it is directed at anyone who thinks it's okay to ignore lane courtesy out of a misplaced sense of speed superiority.
You say that as if 234 years of jurisprudence hasn't taken place. Again, I'm not arguing with you about the meaning of the Constitution, I'm saying ha ha ha, either he's kidding or he woefully misunderstands his legal environment. My guess is he's kidding -- he does actually understand something about the law, but he stated as true something that he merely wishes were true.
I've often thought how thankful I am that the spark of human inter-connectivity came from academia and government rather than private industry. It's clear now, and will become more clear in the coming century, how we dodged a bullet by making the internet an open medium.
Is it true that if you carry a knife like that outside of your house in the UK you can be arrested? I've heard that but I find it difficult to believe.
Yeah, it definitely fits the stereotype of a government agency.
But, to be clear, the USPS is not a government agency. Like Major League Baseball or Fannie Mae, it is a private agency which has a special relationship with the government.
Sorry my man. I was taking a potshot at free-market ideologues in general, not at anyone specifically -- but if it were directed at anybody it would be Tuzanor, not you. You took offense where there was none directed at you, so we need not argue, we can be friends.
That is true, and Apple promotes the practice by providing gratis computers (especially laptops over the past decade or so) to movie and TV producers. The computers are technically loaners, due back after the filming is complete.
Whoa, dude, whoa. Do NOT try to start a fight with a free-market ideologue and try to use facts or historical evidence to support your position. That's even more foolish than trying to convince a creationist about evolution by using the fossil record as evidence. These people will never, ever, ever admit that their simple little ideology doesn't perfectly explain the complexity of the real world.
A couple weeks ago I was modded Troll for using the words 'Apple' and 'monopoly' in the same sentence -- even though I was specifically not saying that Apple was a monopoly. So, I guess I'd just like to say "screw you" to the mods on that article.
You are right and the coward is wrong. People are certainly entitled and able to hate things without being forced to use the things. Those are not related. The coward might just be trolling, or else is terribly confused.

I'm guessing he doesn't care.

He made two statements of fact, but neither are relevant to the topic. He should get -1 Off Topic, or perhaps -1 Flamebait.
PS the dollar has also never gone to zero. Neither has wood. Neither has cow dung.
PPS when you say "Gold hasn't ever gone to zero", you realize you mean zero DOLLARS right?
My guess is that there is already too much government regulation that stifles competition.
Hmmm... no. I totally disagree.

Ha ha ha! Dude, I hope you are kidding, or you have a woefully inadequate understanding of the legal system you live under. Good luck.

I'm honestly curious, do you yourself think that is a good analogy?
Oh yeah? Well there is also something very attractive about your mom, particularly to adolescents.
Rimshot!
(This joke is a complete non sequitur. I do not mean to be offensive... that's your mom's job.)
So, what exactly are they trying to achieve?
They are trying to achieve a reduction in spam. Didn't you even read the title of the article?

Your mom is a plot tool.

Just let it go, man. Save yourself the trouble.

This is one time when security by obscurity will be good enough.
I remember I was once trying to find lyrics to Enya's songs.
Ha! Nerd.

You are right. I over-reacted, a little bit. I disagree with the flamebait mod you got.
Next time don't ask a rhetorical question unless you already know that the answer is not devastating to your argument.
Drug company advertising budgets are greater than drug company research budgets, both in total.
Those are all great points. I'm not exactly swayed, but I'm impressed.
Dude, "reserve" might be a poor choice of diction.
You seem to have a deep grasp on medical ethics. Where did you earn your MD or MD/PhD?
