You can't always trace an IP back to a person. Where I live, for a couple of bucks I can buy 30 minutes of internet time from an internet cafe, no-one takes my name or ID of any description, there's no personal logon required, and a court order is required to get access to any CCTV that may or may not be present in the cafe... probably not, and even then I bet it's VHS over-recorded every couple of days (why would an independent internet cafe invest thousands in a networked video surveillance system? Their margins are small enough as it is).
Now, I dunno how things are different in the UK, but, in the US the only taxes for roads that I know of (in most states at least) are coming off of gasoline and diesel taxes bought at a commercial pump.
Your driving licences are free then? What about property taxes... any part of those go towards transportation?
Exactly right - I do not know why Rupert Murdoch has been spouting about aggregators stealing content. If anything, Google is adding to his revenue by driving readers to his sites. So what if they make some pennies on the back of that? Symbiosis at it's best - not parasitic at all. What exactly has Google taken away from Murdoch's sites?
Please can we separate the idea of a news website from that of a newspaper? www.timesonline.co.uk is not a newspaper - it's a website. They are different entities, with different delivery methods, different readerships, and different business models. The rules for one do not necessarily apply to the other. Just because people pay to pick up a hard copy of a newspaper does not mean that charging for the web version is going to work, either from a viable business point of view, or from a reader's perspective.
As I understand it, a pyramid scheme involves money going from many (at the bottom) to the few (at the top) with everyone along the way getting their cut. I am not aware of any other religion having such a characteristic. There are many religions organizations that seek donations (whether it at a Shinto shrine or a church). However, (faults aside) the priests and monks who would be "at the top" are not exactly enjoying riches like Madoff was.
Exactly, if Catholicism were a pyramid scheme, the guy at the top would be living in a palace, in his own country perhaps.
Disney was around at that time. They've been slaughtering Grimm's Tales since 1923. (Trust me, Grimms Fairy Tales are much better in their original form...)
Slashdot Mirror
why would they want their business associated with fraud?
Because they are making money from it, enough money to payoff those who may follow up. Remember, many fraud sites are not hosted in the US.

In a two party system that is. In most countries outside the US where a two-party state is not the norm it'll be "Yes" to at about 80% of the people.
Fixed that for you.

Rubbish.
Using that argument, wearing tinted glasses where no-one can see your eyes renders you blind.
You've obviously never been in a car that has heavily tinted windows.

I have more to say but I am out of time today ...
A GPS device is in every cell phone in accordance with US law.
Not technically true.
Where I live, you're already not allowed to drive without corrective lenses if you need them to pass the driving test.
So, er, yes.
No one expects the Sp- ... oh bugger.

Sure but there's also the risk of driving with one hand.
So ban one-armed drivers as well?

Klingon?
And by "bad" you mean good, right? Is "messed up" like "sick", which is also good?
You should check again how much solar would be needed. Hint, it is still a lot, but it would cover an irrelevant part of the world.
You mean like, New Jersey?
Does that run on the Nii?
Jim, is that you?
I heard a similar one a few weeks back:
Jordanian immigration official: "Occupation?"
Israeli Traveller: "No, just visiting"
You criticize the poster for being too extreme, and then yourself produce an analogy that is at the other extreme.
'Preventative maintenance' is not washing your cars hubcaps, it's checking the oil, the brakes, tire treads and so on.
Heck, "Yes Man" fits that category, and so does "She's the Man".
She's the Man is based on Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"
Also on your astronomical to do list, head to the southern hemisphere. There's a whole different set of stars there
The phases of the moon are also off by 45-90 degrees. Spooky!

Kinda like slashdot then :)

So that's what the hoover dam is for.
