Why does he have to take the money in order for it to be given to charity? If he doesn't want it why can't the Clay Mathematics Institute just donate it directly to charity?
Usually, people don't care too much about people they don't know.
I think your base assumption is flawed. If this was true then the Red Cross wouldn't exist, neither would other charitable organizations that receive money from everyday people and disperse it to others in need. If people didn't care too much then they wouldn't give too much. But the fact of the matter is that the people of this world care very much about the well being of others. I'm sorry that you don't, but I think I'm speaking for the majority of people when I say that I do.
If people usually cared about people they don't know, there would be no need for the Red Cross and other charitable organizations to exist in the first place.
Actually, you don't need a laser to turn the moon into a weapons platform; a mass driver (or anything other capable of shooting things down to Earth on a high velocity) would be enough, since the kinetic energy of the impact is more than sufficient to destroy a lot of things. Orbital bombardment should be pretty effective, since it's WAY harder to defend yourself against those than against ICBMs. Also, with the upcoming new forms of warfare involving satellites, the moon will possibly become pretty effective against them as well, although I don't know if it isn't more cost effective to just shoot up anti-satellite-missiles.
Laser beams and sharks together are still awesome, though. "...we'll throw rocks at them"
You surely know that tofu burgers at fast food resturants are about as common as new cars sold without engines. And please don't tell me that I'm wrong just because your notions of what the free market should provide don't match the reality of what the free market does provide. So Again, why shouldn't I sue McDonalds after I get a Big Mac and find its been installed with meat instead of tofu?
So in France people HAVE to buy computers only from Asus?? Why didn't this guy just buy a computer from somewhere else if he didn't want MS crapware preinstalled and Asus wouldn't/couldn't meet his demands? Can I sue McDonalds for not selling me a tofu Big Mac?
Can you agree that your thoughts are the most real thing in this universe? More real? Are you serious? There aren't degrees of reality. Its an 'either or' situation: something is real or it is not real, there is no in between.

If I take your bike, I am denying you the use of your bike for however long I have it. That isnt the case with wireless access. Whoever came up with the water fountain analogy above was right on the money.
