That's if you're not counting all the piss and dried up semen.
If that's really a problem, then a little review might help.
But to address your points seriously, urine is composed of plasma, uric acid, and other elements that your kidneys filter out. It doesn't smell good, but it's not ridden with bacteria. Semen won't produce a good bacterial culture either, and I'd like to think that most people try to avoid cumming all over their toilet seats anyways.
Then it's a pity most toilet seats are made out of plastic or wood.
Even on that note, it's really the same. A lot of toilet seats are plastic, but that isn't really hospitable to bacteria either. Most wooden toilets seats are treated, but even if you had some old piece of driftwood with a hole carved in it, it doesn't change the necessity bacteria have to consume nutrients. If you have a constantly warm, steamy bathroom, and you came all over the untreated wooden seat on a regular basis, and the bacteria were able to get everything they need from the protein, then you might have a problem. But, that's hardly the case in a majority of bathrooms.

That's besides the fact that most toilet seats tend to be fairly clean. Bacteria just don't do well on cold porcelain; they like warm, wet places with lots of food.
The equation for the motion of a falling body is F = -mg, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration constant 9.8 m/s.
Now, we can't neglect air resistance, but we'll simplify it. It increases as you get faster, and depends on several other factors like air density, and the cross section of the object, etc. We'll lump all of that into the constant c, so we have a force opposing gravity cv (which, in some cases is cv^2).
This gives us the equation F = cv - mg, which is a differential equation. At some point during your motion, the speed will approach v=mg/c, which will make our equation F = c(mg/c) - mg = mg -mg = 0. So, with a force of 0, the object will no longer speed up or slow down. This is called the terminal velocity.
current by time with a lower limit on the current (30 mA).
By that I presume you mean charge by time, which is current.
By introducing a large amount of charge to your body, you get a large difference in potential, which will have to discharge somewhere. However, more charge discharging in a short amount of time can be very damaging to meatbags like us, if for no other reason than the thermal excitation it causes along its path. Very high voltages can cause other problems, but as long as there's a low current, it's not really a problem.
I think a proper analogy would be to use heat as an example. Holding a warm cake in your lap for a couple hours while it cools off isn't going to cause you serious harm, although it may make you hungry. A small drop of molten lead with the same amount of heat would cause very severe damage when dropped in your lap, because the energy is transferred in a very short amount of time.
I think I know what he's getting at, but I missed the subtle connection between that and the rest of his post.
As a thought experiment, picture a moth circling a lightbulb in a large room. That moth will cast a shadow on the wall. Now let's have the moth continue to circle the lightbulb at 0.99c, which is rather fast for a moth, but whatever. Anyways, the shadow on the wall will continue to have the same angular speed as the moth, but because it lies at a greater distance, the shadow will appear to move at a speed much greater than c. The caveat being that the shadow isn't actually a moving object, so it doesn't really violate any physical laws.
I'm fortunate in that sense for two of my graduate courses. In the first, the standard text put out its last edition in 1986. For the other, the 7th edition was released this year, but the professor has what is essentially the changelog and allows us to use the 5th and 6th editions as well.
Some books dramatically change the homework problems, or reorder them, or simply change the value of the variables involved so the method to solve it is the same, but the answer will be different. The changelog allows the professor to avoid or account for the changes, and since the method is the most important part of the solution, it works out well for both of us.
That's a little non-sequitor. Was it a breakup letter or a suicide note?

Depending on how quickly you finish the game, she takes off her helmet or her entire suit. That goes for either Prime or Echoes also (I forget already). The way most people did it with the original was the 'justin bailey' code.
Although certainly good advice, it seems the issue here was that the searches were linked to a UID. I think people should also be very wary of searches done on any service where they are logged in. Without that, masking IPs and deleting cookies are useless.
IANAL myself, but it was my understanding that a treaty is not law, but an agreement to make a law, because there is no international body that has legislative authority over the US. This allows us to honor treaties in the context of our own political system.
Really, I wonder if rulings about this topic could have unintended consequences for modding software. If a third party distributes a tool that alters the data of a game, would thst violate the copyright in this sense? What if a company produced a media player that allowed you to patch the DVD content?
Honestly, I think it's all in the transition from 'property' to 'license', which is going to continue to be damaging to actions that should otherwise be common sense.
Otherwise, good luck in finding a more liberal host - it's a shame that some people feel the need to antagonize when another has something positive.:(
I think of this as another failure in copyright law. If I edited the DVD for myself, it would be fine. If I have a company edit it for me, then that's not OK? I think the MPAA is just missing another opportunity really.
Incidentally, it appears the prudes at photobucket decided to scrub up your albums since this afternoon. (Stunning, btw)

Pfft. That will barely get you to the store.
Here's the simple version:
The equation for the motion of a falling body is F = -mg, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration constant 9.8 m/s.
Now, we can't neglect air resistance, but we'll simplify it. It increases as you get faster, and depends on several other factors
like air density, and the cross section of the object, etc. We'll lump all of that into the constant c, so we have a force opposing
gravity cv (which, in some cases is cv^2).
This gives us the equation F = cv - mg, which is a differential equation. At some point during your motion, the speed will approach v=mg/c,
which will make our equation F = c(mg/c) - mg = mg -mg = 0. So, with a force of 0, the object will no longer speed up or slow down. This
is called the terminal velocity.
