Currently,the United States views copyright infringement as a form of theft, but as Stuart Green points out
From its earliest days, the crime of theft has been understood to involve the misappropriation of things real and tangible. For Caveman Bob to “steal” from Caveman Joe meant that Bob had taken something of value from Joe — say, his favorite club — and that Joe, crucially, no longer had it. Everyone recognized, at least intuitively, that theft constituted what can loosely be defined as a zero-sum game: what Bob gained, Joe lost.
Copyright infringement can be understood as a "theft" of a monopoly-- the monopoly is destroyed,but that's stretching things a bit. But here, the artists are prevented from exercising their rights to publish. Not only are they prevented from enjoying the fruits of a monopoly, they cannot even exploit their own property under less monopolistic conditions. The thief now has something of value, which the original artists do not.
If you understand copyright as a form of trespass, and fair use as a kind of stipulation that others have the freedom to roam and that man traps are illegal, the misappropriation of copyright can be understood as someone forcing you off your land, at gunpoint, and erecting an electrified fence to keep you out.
You don't know the first thing about coral biology, do you?
A coral is a colony of many small polyps, sometimes living in symbiosis, or parasitosis with algae (Zooanthelae), which provide an additional energy source for the colony.
If the algae are expelled, the coral loses its color, and is said to be "bleached".
So, in almost half of the corals, a majority of the polyps died, or showed signs of severe stress. In a quarter of the corals, 90% of the polyps died. or showed signs of severe stress.
(Imagine you're a researcher examining the course of a smallpox epidemic several hundred years ago. The death records are grouped by parishes. Since most people did not often travel from village to village, but stuck to their local communities, it makes sense to talk about parishes in which "a majority" of the inhabitants died, and parishes in which "most" of the people died, and so on. In this case, the coral is the village; the polyp is the individual vilager.)
Have you ever noticed that the anti-aliased text used on modern operating systems looks just a little bit blurry? Sure, there are no jaggies, but at the cost of sharp focus.
The new iPad is different. Everything looks like it's from a glossy magazine-- no blurriness whatsoever.
There is such a thing as 1080i. If everything goes to plan,the 1080i fields can be assembled into 1080p frames. However, filtering and artifacts knock the effective resolution down a tad.
Technically, it's a STP Cat 5 patch cable, not an ethernet cable.
The 1000Base-T ports on the back of your computer are designed to transmit a signal up to 100 meters. If you try that with a DenonLink setup, the results might not be to your liking. Similarly, the audio information is unlikely to be contained in ethernet frames.
Nineteen and sixty inch HDTVs are not handheld devices. I can't look at them more closely without getting off my couch, and moving away from the audio "sweet spot."
But if I want to look more closely at something on my tablet, I just do.
One point in your favor, though-- my fingers have a certain fixed size.If my ipad were larger, I might be able the smaller user interface elements without first pinch zooming.
Don't like the outcome of the last election? Do you hold minority views? Are you worried about the common rabble infringing on your pretensions to nobility?
You can do something about it. Just accuse your enemies of treason and permanently attaint them of their rights! All you need do is get a judge to agree to your demands, and your political rivals won't be making laws! They'll be making License Plates (at least until license plates are declared unconstitutional).
Remember kids, the founders had an ace up their sleeve when trying to keep the liberal elite rabble down where they belonged. Sedition!
Order now, for three payments of 19.95, and I'll even throw in a free guide to getting the IRS off your back, PERMANENTLY!
Dividends appeal to "Fixed Income" investors-- who invest in bonds and stocks in the hope of living off the small, but reliable income from their portfolio. Tech stocks don't.
Returning to the question of being loved or feared, I sum up by saying, that since his being loved depends upon his subjects, while his being feared depends upon himself, a wise Prince should build on what is his own, and not on what rests with others.
I remember At Ease. The first thing I did when I encountered At Ease was to boot up MS Word, use that to delete some At-Ease related configuration file, and rebooted to find myself staring at the Finder.

I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over.
The very first part of your link contains this statement:

The use of profanity (in any context, written, or spoken) is grounds for expulsion? Seems harsh.
I'm pretty sure that you consider biology to be an impediment to engineering.
So, in fact, we're saving $1.172 billion.
Oops. It's Zooxanthellae. Just in case you wanted to look them up.

I've got two monitors attached to my desktop: 1680*1050, and 1920*1080. You need an upgrade.

A bigger screen? It's only 1280x800, so what's the point?
PATRIOTS OF ALL AGES!

The VA is unconstitutional. The army should have been disbanded long ago.

A serious response to a non serious complaint.
Shouldn't you be repairing your buggy whip?

No lines for me. I bought mine fairly late in the afternoon, too.
Well yes. It's up to the jury. That's the whole point.
Well, actually, we're between the low (714/100k) and the high (892/100k) estimate. Not too liberal, and not too totalitarian, but just right.

You're confusing the protocol with the client. Many nntp clients didn't support threads-- the Vax I used at college didn't have a threaded newsreader.
Star Trek VIII hasn't aged well. Star Trek VI is sublime, like Hamlet in the original Klingon.

God, I hated that thing.
