Strictly speaking, they're legal in nature. It's possible (though unlikely) to have a legal system in the absence of a political system, so a distinction between crimes can exist without a political nature. (It is necessarily legal, though.)
I think the most disturbing thing to come out of your comment is that I hadn't realised that 1 pound of gasoline has the same energy as 10 pounds of TNT. That doesn't seem right.
It takes 4-6 hours to use up that energy, though -- assuming you're constantly driving. That gives you far more users per power station -- just a peak capacity of 1100.
The core engineering require to build a proof-of-concept prototype is a small fraction of the engineering work necessary to put it into readily-available, commercial products.
If they did that, then someone would simply bray that they're wasting 5-10% of taxpayer-funded class minutes when they should be using technology to do the roll-calling faster so they can spend that time doing their jobs and teaching.
No, there's peer discovery. Limewire (and any smart Gnutella program) keeps a cache of the last few hundred peers it's connected to and tries those upon startup. It also has a small list of GWebCache services that LimeWire currently operates, but that list is changeable.
Incidentally, from Mermin's website, you can download his lecture notes at no cost. The book is directly based on the lecture notes and, as far as I recall, the notes are pretty good. I took the class while he was working on the book, so all we had to work with was the lecture notes (which have since undergone some revisions), which were essentially a beta version of the book's text.
It should be reasonably understandable to someone with a good CS and mathematical background but limited physics background. (Likewise, it should be reasonably understandable to someone with a good physics background but relatively little CS.) The course was designed to be taken by both CS and physics students. I think it was fairly challenging for the Cornell CS undergrads that were in the course, but your mileage may vary.
It's also a picture of an atom that doesn't exist. Never mind that the electrons are enormous and have circular orbits. There are 2 of one kind of nucleon and 3 of the other kind, with 4 electrons that all seem to be in the same shell.
So, the two possible atoms are Lithium-5 (-1) or Helium-5 (-2). Both Lithium-5 and Helium-5 are highly unstable. Both of them should have two electrons in one shell and two in higher-energy shell. The -2 state of helium would be challenging to produce, to say the least.
Here there is another problem at play: cp reads in the whole (big) file and then writes it out.
While certainly the whole file may end up cached, the source for cp does a simple read/write with a small buffer -- not read in the whole file and then write it out.
A process only gets 2 GB of addressable memory on Windows; the other 2 GB is allocated to the kernel. (Sure, you can enable a switch to make this 3/1 GB instead, but that's fairly uncommon.) You only need to have enough RAM to cover memory that's actually used, though, and things like memory-mapped files and zero pages still work as normal.
It's not necessarily a good idea, but you can get away with running quite a few processes even with no pagefiles.
Or they have an automated system that blocks links that enough people have previously flagged as abusive or spam. Maybe you should let them know, as you seem to think it's in error.

No, this is regular bullying.
It doesn't matter in this case; all you need is correlation.
You certainly can have a legal system without a state or government.

There are lots of categories of crime, and many of them have specialists. There's street crime, violent crime, white collar crime, gang crime.
Bad, but not really bypassing Congress at all.
How did the patriot act pass?
With the approval of the House and Senate, as it turns out.
There are fundamental physical constants you can use to define a unit of mass.
Hence, 1/8 ton is 250 lb and 3 gallons is 24 lb. So 1# gasoline has the energy of 10# TNT.

A charging station sees enough short cycles that they might as well use a bank of capacitors instead.
It takes 4-6 hours to use up that energy, though -- assuming you're constantly driving. That gives you far more users per power station -- just a peak capacity of 1100.

They do, it just takes a while. Engineering is time-consuming.
TFA is about schools in Australia, where they generally use sugar rather than corn syrup.
Those liberal university elitists will all their book-larnin', of course.
If they did that, then someone would simply bray that they're wasting 5-10% of taxpayer-funded class minutes when they should be using technology to do the roll-calling faster so they can spend that time doing their jobs and teaching.
It's also very popular among people downloading child pornography.

That's certainly not what any of the Windows internals books say. Do you have a reference for that?
