Be polite, be cool and be truthful. Women know when you are lying and (lets face it), anyone reading/. comes off as patronising at the best of times, so its best to downplay that as much as possible.
Unless you are a specialist in the field and analyse raw data, your state of knowledge on this specialist topic is actually formed by a combination of an appeal to authority and Occams razor. Scientific method is a great way to avoid falling into error, but knitting your socks anew every morning is a very inefficient way to keep your feet warm.
You believe that at least some of the primary source specialists in this area are applying scientific method and believe that the secondary and tertiary commentators, which is usually what you have read, can be trusted to accurately report the findings and critique the methods of the primary sources. An explanation which assumes that all commentators are collaborating in a non-scientific is vastly more complex than an explanation that the sources are actually applying the methods claimed and reporting findings and analysis accurately, so you believe them.
Your girlfriend is using the same techniques. She trusts her grandfather as an authority in the field and considers any explanation in which he was duped or misled to be far more complex than alternative explanations. She may not be aware of the history of alternative explanations; but you never met her grandfather.
She probably isn't expecting that you accept her grandfather's account uncritically or without reservation; just that you don't dismiss it out of hand in an arrogant way. So listen to her explanation uncritically. Ask relevant questions such as where the site was and what was her grandfather's involvement etc. You can say things like "Wow, if that's right it would be amazing". Ask if she would be interested in finding out more about it. If not, don't push it. If yes, then help her find out stuff. You will find out more about her from either a lack of curiousity in finding out more about it, or the lengths that she is prepared to go to by rationalising data to avoid disrespecting her grandfather than her initial account of his story. Some people find the latter trait very attractive in prospective mates, others find it infuriating.
All those complaining about the cost of pre-emptive action that could prevent an infringement suit are welcome to compare it to the first billable hour of lawyers engaged in emptive action.
Yup, you're quite correct and this multijurisdictional costs report published by Lovells in 2010 says you can't seek security for costs or get interim costs awards in Finland.
If Finnish procedure is anything like Australian procedure then TTVK might apply to require TPB to provide security for costs. TPB would have to disclose its financials, there could be interesting argument over the sustainability of its business model.
For a file transfer process why not use a picture of two tanks separated by a pipe. Water level in the tanks for source and destination. Size of the pipe and a flow rate for bandwidth and read/write speed. You could tell what an estimated completion time was based on and why it was changing.
I suppose the ability to store data and program instructions in DNA would enable a Von Neumann architecture. The possibility of simulataneous "operations" on different parts of the genome might even make common bus based bottlenecks (where data cannot be fetched simultaneously with an instruction) less of a limit. But the speed of the thing would be agonisingly slow compared to silicon. Massively parallel perhaps but slow as a wet week.
I think Cruithne is one that doesn't. One way of putting it is that Cruithne is never in Earth's shadow. I'm happy to call it a moon though, if for no better reason than to see Stephen Fry discomfort Alan Davis.
Cruithne has been referred to as Earth's Second Moon, but it is really in orbit around the Sun in 1:1 orbital resonance with the Earth, whatever that means.
In Australia generally speaking a literary, dramatic, artistic or musical work made pursuant to terms of employment belongs to the employer. That position can be modified by agreement, but in the absence of agreement if you get paid a salary for doing it, it belongs to the boss. If you're not an employee then it belongs to the author, again subject to modification by agreement.
Things like sound recordings or films are different, copyright in those would belong to the person who owns the equipment on which they were created. That could be the school.
A contract with a child to assign copyright may well not be enforceable. A private school might include an indemnity by parents in favour of the school in their contract with the parents. A public school couldn't insist on it.
In either case if a school board, without any contractual mechanism, simply declared that they owned copyright in students literary works it would have much the same legal effect as if they had declared they owned Manhattan with an option on Rhode Island.

Examine harder. The US has absurdly low thresholds for utility and prior use.
Make sure your elected officials get a hold of the Administration 12 Stasi operations manual. No sense re-inventing the wheel.
What if the simile is itself a metaphor ?
Roads too. Do you know how many criminals use roads ?

Competitors dobbing on each other to regulators. Shock horror.
Doesn't the light have a constant speed for all observers but it's frequency is shifted for an observer in a different frame of reference ?
So the introduction of better quality formats might push down the price of formats acceptable to you, what's not to like ?
Or church steeples have lightning rods.
Plant some evidence that it's a fiendish Al Quaeda radiological weapon; a dirty bomb with a long fuse planted by sleeper agents who hate the USA.

Well that sucks. Without the dialog in the subtitles you've got no chance of knowing whats going on.
