In my experience, yes.
If it's a new torrent then everyone gets the file at the speed of the initial seeder's upload. If it's an older torrent then most of the swarm are seeders which small amounts of upload available, which adds up to a good download speed usually.
BT relies on a proportion of the swarm being good citizens and becoming seeders.

Whether it be the government itself, or an agency acting for the government, this is still the government doing the losing.
He said he's a crappy shot, presumably implying that he doesn't like having to point the controller at the screen. Nowhere did he mention any of the gun-nut stuff you're banging on about. It's a simple case of prefering mouse/keyboard over console controller.

The older your daughter learns the world can be a bad place the harder it will hit her.
Agreeing to print more money is nothing more than, 'yup, we fucked the economy big time'. It's not an answer, it's just fucking things up even more for longer.
Still, I hear Zimbabwe has some good experience with money printing. Maybe we can learn some economics from them?

These cases will be heard in civil court where the decision is made on the balance of probability, and doesn't have to be beyond reasonable doubt. There is no assumption of innocence - the defendant has to actively prove themselves innocent.
For the majority of individuals the risk of losing is far too great to take this to court, even if you are certain of your innocence. If you get a letter you'd be a fool not to settle ASAP, IMHO. Unless you're about to go bankrupt anyway, I guess.
This is a simple case of might over what's right. These guys are on a sure-fire winner to make pots of cash and yes, it fucking stinks.
[ubuntu's package management]... as it's the same as Debian. Well, it uses the same system but I don't entirely agree with you in essence. Ubuntu offers modern packages in a stable format, which is far more labour intensive than Debian's 'old but stable' philosophy.
I'm not dissing Debian for their approach, but it is quite different to Ubuntu's even though they use the same package management.
It's certainly the reason gaming is a shell of what it once was. You're wrong! I've upgraded the graphics hardware in every version of the playstation so many times I've lost count.

Not everyone can touchtype. Quit the snobbery.
Options 2,3, and 4 all feature 'take out the taliban'. This is probably impossible without genocide.

I'd be a bit upset if my kid was unable to find an email address for themselves.

Are you expecting to get the economy saved for nothing?
Either it tanks to a major recession, or your tax dollars are used to avoid it (temporarily at least).
tl;dr: both are bad for you personally.
Nothing is for nothing.
Positive feedback isn't stable.

If someone steals your car and runs someone down, you're not liable. Why should it be different in this case?
So much more likely will be that before such announcements, they will update like ten or twenty biographies, to mask which is the real one.
Perhaps, although personally I would prepare any edits in advance and make them at exactly the same time as any announcement (/leak or whatever)
I have a huge problem with it, and not because of any chance of miscarriage of justice.
