I don't think anyone is arguing that sugar can give you energy or make you feel good. The argument is against it making people hyperactive. Did you have trouble focusing on your test and get out of your seat several times during the exam? Apparently exactly the opposite happened, so you confirm that it did not make you hyper.
Are you talking about chocolate candy bars? Those have theobromine in them. Lots of sugar-flavored drinks contain caffeine, citric acid, or simple sugars like glucose or fructose rather than or in addition to sucrose. If you give kids too much simple sugars and some citric acid, they may have more energy available but it won't make them hyper on its own.
The caffeine and theobromine along with visit with a mischievous uncle who wants to get them excited before handing them back to their mother are better bets unless they have an insulin condition. Are the kids borderline diabetics?
Also, please remember the plural of "anecdote" is "anecdotes", not "data".
"Litigious" has to do with civil lawsuits. Assault is a crime, not a civil claim (at least in the US). Yes, people do get away with things. Yet you seem to confuse what one can do legally and what one can do physically, and you do so on purpose.
BTW, what error of outrageous ego did you make that you assumed everyone would know from context that you're an Aussie?
And you just assume whoever doesn't respond in a timely manner has the stolen one? Or that they won't lie?
Oh, and if you're thinking you'll buy all the wrong ones just to see if the serial numbers really do match, then why worry about the value of the one laptop? And why wouldn't they just lie and tell the nosy buyer it's already sold and out of warranty anyway? You do realize the thief knows it is stolen, right?
How often does an eBay post include the serial number? It sure as hell won't be listed as "Stolen Macbook Pro... lulz". How are you supposed to know that any MBP from Vancouver is the stolen one? It's not exactly Mayberry. There are nearly 580,000 people in the city and over two million in the metro area. I'm sure some other MBPs exist there.
Just to make a clear distinction, I now live in Texas. Texas is well known as one of the foremost Castle Doctrine states in the US and is famous for its support of private gun possession. However, booby traps are not at all allowed. A thinking person present for the current situation is required for the use of force for the defense of person or property.
We have cooperatives in the US, too, but they operate in very limited ways. There are electricity cooperatives, telephone coops, farm seed coops, etc. Most serve rural areas that are under-served by other entities. All funds do go back to maintenance, upgrades, price cuts, higher salaries, or rebate payments.
We also have cooperative apartment and housing complexes, in which rather than owning a unit the residents own a share of the complex. The complex is then run by vote, with all fees going to maintain the place and none to landlords. This is distinct from condominiums in which a resident owns a unit in the complex and pays for maintenance of the public spaces in the complex.
There are definite similarities in the way a corporation and a cooperative are set up, though. Making all the members of a cooperative equal shareholders of a corporation makes the corporation basically the same as a cooperative.
Steve Jobs helped make Objective C, an offshoot of C, popular. Dennis Ritchie made C.
Steve Jobs convinced his company to port an OS. Dennis Ritchie helped create the very idea of a portable OS.
Steve Jobs eventually decided Unix would make a good basis for the OS on his hardware. Dennis Ritchie helped Ken Thompson create Unix.
Steve Jobs and his company eventually decided that a similar OS and development stack across all the company's devices would be a useful idea. Dennis Ritchie helped create an OS and development stack used on everything from phones to supercomputers.
You're free to form a corporation with equal shares for all employees in the US. You're also free to have a partnership, but having people added to and removed from a partnership is much more difficult legally than requiring that employees leaving a corporation sell their shares back.
The RMS view of open/free carried more weight when it was much harder to mirror. We used to order CDs of things in the mail, and even used the Internet to do so. The time to download things was actually longer in some cases than having the code shipped physically. Drive storage was also puny. Games and professional applications that needed a CD to load only cached certain files to the hard drive.
Now having the old copies online in several places and kept on thousands of enthusiasts' home systems (or laptop, tablet, phone, pocket-sized external hard drive, thumb-sized USB flash drive, or thumbnail sized flash card of some sort) protects to a much greater extent against closing all available copies and someone missing out because they didn't mirror in time.
They test WinZip and make a big deal about how limited the new AMD chip is under it. Yet they show it deals much better with 7-Zip, which is the same sort of program and free (as in beer and speech, LGPL) to boot. Then they make a big deal about WinZip performance, as if it matters.
Um, hello? When are they going to stop punishing the chip for a poorly implemented application? Sure, if a popular game title or the editing suite you absolutely must use at work performs poorly because it is coded poorly and a processor can make the difference, buy the processor you need. The professional workstation should be specified around the high-end software needs anyway.
If, OTOH, you have an option to pay thirty bucks for something easily replaceable with a free program that forms a small part of your use, why not take the free one that offers good performance on both chips?
In a free society, the police have no rights. They only have the power to encroach on the rights of a person when that person encroaches on the rights of others. For a constable or police officer being thought of as having any rights except as a random individual is just wrong. They have limited powers vested in them by the people they serve.
It also wouldn't at all be the same as the Internet if it was London connected to London and New York connected to New York. A bunch of individuals sharing consumer-grade equipment are not going to connect London to New York, Tokyo, Houston, Sydney, Taipei, Paris, Frankfurt, Oslo, San Francisco, Tel Aviv, Cairo, Ottawa, or Warsaw. The Internet is global, after all. At some point any replacement either has to replicate the long links or use them.
Four-conductor (and in some places two-conductor) 128Kbps symmetric with 4-hour SLA is available pretty much everywhere in the US. It's called ISDN. Call your phone company and get a price quote, then compare it to your 100 Mbps, 50 Mbps, or 25 Mbps bursting service with crappy SLA.
64 Kbps is a DS-0 equivalent, which is a digital voice line. For ISDN you use what's called a B channel. ISDN is available as one B Channel, two, or 23 (ISDN Prime Rate Interface, or PRI). You'll get guaranteed speeds and a great SLA, but you'll pay for it.
A PRI is about $200 to $500 depending on where you get it, and you're still at the lowest aDSL speeds.
I'm not aware of anyone advertising ISDN BRI, but since it was about $125 to $180 per month in the late 1990s I'm sure your telco's CO would love to sell that to you over aDSL if you insist.
Can anyone say, "class action lawsuit"? It might not work, but if it's actually promising the performance of the spec and doesn't deliver that seems actionable to me (a legal lay person).
One of the big parts of the payment handling that many never seem to mention is trust. People might trust you enough to try your software, but not to give you their credit card information directly. Even short of outright fraud by the developer, there are all sorts of security breaches of people's poorly implemented shopping cart, checkout, and donation sites. Sometimes it's right through the card-handling software itself, as is really common with osCommerce or older ZenCart installations, and which happened recently with PrestaShop as well. I'd sooner trust Apple with my card information and know Apple is going to be around for the fallout if I do experience a problem.
At no point did I say no Spanish speakers made the same joke that many English speakers with cursory knowledge of Spanish made. What I said was that nobody saw the name "Nova", read it as "doesn't go", and refused to buy the car for that reason.
Now, when you're done criticizing me for you not knowing what the hell you're talking about, read the Snopes page about this urban legend as you could have assumed I would say after reading the post to which you haphazardly balked at trying to respond.

Yeah, but once you have the property back continuing to kick him is assault. You can't use more violence than necessary just because you're pissed.
Actually, it is typically allowed in many US states after some period to dispose of found property as you choose if the owner cannot be determined.
Take a look at the Wikipedia page for Lost, mislaid, and abandoned property. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost,_mislaid,_and_abandoned_property
What constitutes abandonment of course varies from one jurisdiction to another.

So... pretty much like any software company?

I didn't miss it. I dismissed it. You have no support for the claim.

So something can't evolve out of a class even if its characteristics are different? So all life on Earth is bacteria?

Maybe You have confused Zuckerberg with Guy Laliberté or Mark Shuttleworth. Or perhaps with Richard Branson, who builds space tourism vehicles.
The song, however, has nothing to do with space travelers.
