On the contrary, what I want to create is a system where legal extortion does not exist. Where settling when you are in the right does not pay off, and where people that have real interests in settling will try to do it without involving courts in the process.
Sorry, but settlements are NOT unilateral and have nothing do do with the court ordering you to disclose anything. Whenever a court orders you to disclose something private against your will it should be responsible for helping to control how much it leaks in my opinion, as futile and irrelevant those attempts may be in the end..
As soon as you go to court you should lose the ability to settle in secret. If you want to do it do it before going to court.
Furthermore any private content should be your responsibility to keep secret about if you so want, not the government's. If someone else found about your dirty secrets it is your problem and nobody else's. If you can prove your lawyer or anyone that has signed your contract broke it and leaked information he should not by all means go after him for any punishment contained in the contract, but you have no business going after someone who didn't sign any contract with you.
And no, I don't recognize your reason to keep settlements private as a good one.
Easy, you "enforce" it by not enforcing at all. Secrets are the keeper responsibility to keep. If it leaked, bad luck to you.
Even if you decide to lie in court about the contents of your settlement I see no problem, as long as you do not come crying when someone discovers the truth.
All legal settlements should be public knowledge. It is a reversal on the basic ethic principles of our society when public entities, like the NSA, can spy upon private affairs with impunity, and individuals and private entities are denied what should be public knowledge.
Slave accordingly to who? Those who teach you whatever "they" think is right? Education is something that can be acquired individually,I would even say that it is better acquired individually than academically.
You vastly overestimate the value of education in relation to freedom. It was far better to be an illiterate immigrant in the 19th century in US than it is to be a literate "citizen" in North Korea or Cuba today.
Your ignorance is appalling. Ignorance per se is not a problem as it can be fixed, but stubbornly keeping discussing about a subject you are totally ignorant about is very unseemly.
Let me educate you. A body needs to be submitted to an insane resultant force to achieve the necessary accelerations in our fictitious study case. There is no way around it. When this force is applied to any part or parts of this body it will generate internal forces against the other parts that will rip them apart or crush them.
The only way around it would be to individually apply forces to each and every particle of the body and to each and every particle around them in order to make them accelerate in harmony without generating internal forces between them at sufficient intensities to destroy such body, and that is impossible for the reasons I stated in my previous posts.
Use your head a little, even in situations where the resultant force is zero, you cannot "compensate" a ridiculous force by applying another ridiculous force to a body without destroying. If you still disagree try entering into an hydraulic press and turning it on. The resulting force over you will be zero but you will still be crushed to death, my friend.
You forgot to add - if you don't have the money, then just die, please.
But that is exactly the opposite of which the GP said. If a person is in risk of dying it is an emergency and so the use of the ER is justified. You need to put a lot more effort in your read and comprehension skills.
The person is not a perfect rigid body. It is an immense amount of particles. Internal forces generated between these particles would tear the person apart. The only way to prevent this from happening would be by applying the exact force to each particle of the body and every other particle in the ship.
These forces must be different for each one of these particles and depend on their exact quantum state (position and speed) which cannot be precisely determined accordingly to Heisenberg's principle.
In addition at these speeds you would have to make corrections and apply these forces at intervals shorter than the Planck Time, which is also theoretically impossible accordingly to our understanding of physics.
No it is not. A Warp bubble deforms space in front of a starship by applying strong localized gravity fields. The theories about it are far beyond anything we are capable of doing today, but they are at least theoretically possible. Dampening inertia by mass elimination is not even theoretically possible, on the other hand, and eliminating inertia without affecting a body's mass, which would be necessary to avoid killing people, even less.
It may be what you think, but it certainly is not what I do, and most certainly not what I said in the excerpt you decided to quote. This movie does not set the bar as low as the 5th and does not "tear apart the setting". It is a good movie as good as the best classical movies and with no bigger plot holes than they all have.
Exactly and that is why it goes completely against everything we know of physics, and considerably more than anything else in the series. Barring magic there is no way to accelerate a boady from speed A to speed B without transferring the equivalent amount of kinetic energy to it.
Depends on how you define "quality entertainment". In the end there is no objective way to do it, so all you can say it is not "quality entertainment accordingly to my standards".
It would be a problem because you need to accelerate the bodies with the ship to ridiculous speeds at ridiculous accelerations. Even if you manage to accomplish that and keep the bodies stable in relation to the ship referential with pinpointed gravitational fields you would submit them to a ridiculous amount of stress because an extremely high resultant force must be applied to the body center of mass. You simply cannot give that amount of kinetic energy in this short time to a human body without making it fall apart.
So it is at least one extra degree removed from our current understanding of physics than artificial gravity or warp speed.
I know it was invented by Scott. I watched all movies old and new and all Star Trek series. But, as I said no limitation was imposed upon it when used by Scott. It can be said that Scott used it in a relatively short distance and that the risk is too great for greater distances, or the energy restraints are too great and only Khan managed to perfect, or that it was too risky all the time and they didn't realize it.
Neither Transwarp nor Warp are technologies that really exist and they both violate a lot of the physics laws as we comprehend them now, but a lot less than "Inertial Dampeners", which are endemically used throughout fiction, albeit only named in the Star Trek universe, rest assured.
Sorry, but I think you are grossly exaggerating on your critics. The movie has no more inconsistencies than any other star Trek movie and no continuity error at all. It is perfectly consistent with the setting, and the characters are basically the same from the classic movies and series. It is absurd to say "neither actor had anything to work with". And I watched all the 6 episodes of Sherlock and like it very much. Cumberbatch is excellent there as he is as Khan. He was a great choice for this character.
Finally this new series of movie is not sold because "people are lining up to get tickets is because it is a well know setting", as you think. Now, already in the second movie, both huge successes, it is selling tickets because a lot of people actually liked Abrams work, even though, some, as you did not.
I said it is possible accordingly to Star Trek canon. Do not cherry pick parts of a text without context unless you intend to work on a TV News show or to be a writer on a newspaper,
And no, it is not as bad as the Klingon homeworld transport. THAT was a big plot hole, albeit not as big as time travel related ones, which are endemic throughout the original movies and series.
Actually the ship automation wasn't even bad, it was perfectly reasonable accordingly to the canonical capabilities of the Federation, as actually shown several times throughout the series.
The main plot was actually pretty good despite its holes, and as I said before, the holes are not worse than many holes in the classical movies. And both actors are excellent actors, your prejudices regarding them are just your own, fortunately.

Because you are using the public to arbitrate it, and it is the public right to know EVERYTHING their representatives are doing in their name.

Sorry but no. If it reached the courts it should not be private anymore.
If you want to set them privately don't use public institutions to arbitrate your problems in the first place.
And even if you do not involve any public entity in your dispute keeping your secrets should be your problem, not mine, the government's or societys.
All legal settlements should be public knowledge. It is a reversal on the basic ethic principles of our society when public entities, like the NSA, can spy upon private affairs with impunity, and individuals and private entities are denied what should be public knowledge.
Depends. Did he take the picture? If so he does have the copyright.

Yes it is. Without a fair amount of privacy there is no freedom.
Nah, you are inverting stuff here. Without privacy and freedom there is no education, only indoctrination.
It is not phone/internet privacy. It is just privacy, period. And no, education, albeit important, is not more important than privacy or freedom.

That would be Highlander 2, the 3 was also bad but not this bad.

For the same motive your flashlight does not incinerate you when you point it at your face. It is all about intensity, my friend.
