Demographically, for an example, Mole 2 was holding its own against AI in the 18-34 demos for that time slot. If people that advertisers want to sell to are watching, that's good enough.
Then again, NBC Executives have twice cancelled ratings-wise successes that followed Friends (Inside Schwartz was ranked in the top 15 at year's end, believe it, or not), because they pulled in only a 30 share rather than carry the 60 share of the Ross/Rachel crew.
SFC's tactics seems to make it unprofitable for another network to hop in and save the show, or else toss in money to rebuilt the sets. Slash and burn, anyone?
Previous Customer [moaning]: Oooo... I don't feel so good...
Billy Boy: Was it something you ate? Here's a list of approved foods to go with my lemonade.
Customer: No, it started when I drank your lemonade. Ow ow!
Billy Boy:It couldn't have been my lemonade. My lemonade is the best. You must have eaten something wrong.
Customer barfs on Billy Boy.
Billy Boy: Ewww! Fortunately, I have some antidotes. [Takes out pills.] Take this, and this, and this, and these. If you wait a month, I'll have one superlarge pill that will take care of all of these pills!

One of the first applications of the Shuttle back in the 70s/80s was that it would carry a SpaceTug to retrieve satellites from orbits higher than the shuttle to travel.
Does anyone know if Challenger had an impact on why it's taken so long to return to this, or was this one of those "oh YEAH, we promised this to Congress back in 1978" deals?
Ah.... now I get it. This is all one of those *wink wink* "setups". Gotcha. Can't fool me! First *nudge*'hacker' who reports a security flaw gets five years in the pokey, courtesy of the Feds.
Sort of like sending out "Congratulations! You have won a prize!" notices to those with outstanding warrants.
You know all those undercover cop stings to test store clerks if they will sell tobacco and/or alcohol to minors in the US? Look up your state's statute on this, and they will list an exemption specifically for this kind of operation.
"I don't want to go to jail," said Edelman, who graduated from Harvard in June, and who plans to study law there this fall. "I want to go to law school."
The BSA is NOT a government agency, they have no real abilities outside of having a fleet of overpaid lawyers and a buttload of money to blackmail or assult a company with.
With said fleet of lawyers and buttload of money, they can obtain court orders against other companies suspected in violation of software license and request the use of armed peace officers/LEOs in assisting in software audits.
Support or oppose their position, this image of the BSA is one they use in reality and like to keep fresh in the mind of both willful violators and those frantically searching for the software license to that copy of Excel 3.0, lost in the fourth move in seven years.
Peace: A situation where there hasn't been any overt terrorist activities, and the government decides it cannot afford to sustain the high-level of alert because of budget deficits and the coming elections.
The tale begins in 2021 with the abrupt arrival of the first Chronolith, a 200-foot-high monument of unknown composition that memorializes a military victory.

I know that There Is No Rule Six, but does that mean that Nazis are working with SFC executives in stealing our underpants?

They're not "crippled PC's"...
They're "differently abled operating systems"...
... FAA regulations prohibit the use of cell phones while in flight.
"Let's Roll", anyone?
Yes, my debugger sings, but Simon belittled its abilities as 'third-rate COBOL', so it went into a tizzy and crashed my system.
Nor even Carrie Fisher in Gold Bikini references. Such restraint.

Take illegal copies of Godard's Hail Mary and place them on the website of Rome's Special Police Force.
Meanwhile, place legal copies on the RIAA and MPAA websites and alter Rome's Chief Prosecutor.
Then sit back and watch the fur fly.

So, what's the difference???
Two less terms in Congress.
Agreed. The subject title is deceptive.
It's like saying Timothy McVeigh was given the death penalty for failing to return his rental truck in time... and other associated offienses.
If you're going to use 'free speech' as a legal defense, why not turn it into performance art?
(Of course, if you can get {insert favorite attractive celebrity} to perform it, it would be an added bonus.)

Fear is a great motivator.

Procured with Government funds, perhaps?
When individuals can send vehicles to land on the moon, scoop up samples, and return them safely, then they can do whatever with the samples.
Rebuttal?
One of the annoying kinks of the car is the "Please Wait For Your Car to Shut Down" display.
Nicely put. But I'll add:
Peace: A situation where there hasn't been any overt terrorist activities, and the government decides it cannot afford to sustain the high-level of alert because of budget deficits and the coming elections.
Q:In case something goes wrong, are you planning to take with you a large ten-gallon cowboy hat to wave around on reentry?
RG: No, I'll be wearing a space suit, and a cowboy hat would not be a wise fashion accessory.
This one worries me. Either he chose to ignore the obvious cultural reference, or he's totally clueless to the ref.
