You sir are incorrect. The 18th century citizenry had a few other things that the 21st century citizenry doesn't: Equivalency of arms and armory; support of a major 3rd party nation; distance (and more importantly time) from the British resupply depot and home base; an obviously corrupt and overbearing rulership of foreign British nationals.
Yeah. The US is going to give up technical superiority, the largest deterrent weapon we have, and a boatload of electrical power plants for any reason whatsoever. Haven't we already proved in Iraq that the US will simply not believe that other sovereign nations aren't constantly building nukes and other weapons to use against us?
You, sir, are the greatest optimist this world has ever known.
The opposite of Love is not Hate. It's indifference. Fair to say if you absolutely hate them, then just as many people absolutely love them. My own personal greatest annoyance was addressed, also. Now the Jaggal Clams stack before you open them. 8)
Then you would argue that drunk driving is not a crime. The average adult has probably driven drunk at least once. Often nobody is killed. But it is still a serious crime.
It's a crime because the potential harm is much greater than sitting on your porch and smoking a joint, or listening to a tune. You have not only taken my argument to hyperbole, but also combined the offense with a much greater one and compared them equally. Way to fan the flames. I would in no way support driving under the influence of any judgment impairing drug, alcohol, or otherwise. I don't see a problem with driving while listening to pirated music, however.
More people are killed in the commission of a bicycle theft than in bank robberies. Because people have limited vision bicycle theft rarely results in much of a jail sentence. The truth is that 10 years on the first offense would be a very reasonable sentence. Before you protest just how many miles are driven in cars because people don't want the hassle of trying to lock a bicycle or carry locks and chains with them?
Again you are combining offenses for the sake of drama. Murder is separate and above theft of property, and rightfully so. Bicycle theft has not been linked causally to murder the same way driving a 1 ton sledgehammer while inebriated has been linked to causing significant property damage and loss of life.
However if you were to find or commission a study to prove your point, I would support harsher penalties for bicycle theft. Disclaimer: I have had a bicycle worth half a grand stolen from me, and no, it's not a good feeling.
When the speed limit is routinely ignored by enforcement, then yes. A great deal of stretches of road are grossly underrated for a safe speed limit. That situation can only result in subjectively applying the laws in order to persecute individuals on a whim.
When the majority of the population can be convicted of a crime at one time or another, then it's proveable that the action is not sufficiently damaging to be a crime. Those RIAA bastards are profiting immorally and should be disbarred! Oh wait, we're onto drugs now? In that case, I maintain my statement.
Think of it as though someone discovered a way to generate electricity from Jesus statues involving drilling into them.
A few holes drilled into the original has fueled crusades, inquisitions, expansions, holiday conversions, and untold numbers of fictions. That's not actually a bad idea.
You have missed the point entirely. The article talks about making bittorrent more efficient using the average account and optimizing "by Geography". So what part of that has the majority of your neighbors upgrading to business accounts, also, let alone the type of individual who would rather chance copyright violation sharks than spend a few bucks on a dvd rental?
ISP's in America are against locals serving content. This is very obvious by the fact that your upload allowances are a significant digit smaller than your download allowances. For this reason, bit torrents are far better prioritizing a larger pipe than a shorter hop.
Remember, ISP's are NOT your friends. They are a contract partner. Their interest is not to make your experience better; it's to only make your experience slightly better than the competition.
For torrents to coexist with ISP's would require:
1. Extending a business partnership with them, and convincing them that they CAN allow users to serve content without choking their already oversold bandwidth
2. Proving to their salespeople that doing so would be an advertisable asset, thus bringing them more customers.
3. Proving to their lawyers that they would be safe from litigation, both from the media conglomerate and from Uncle Sam controlled by the media conglomerate, for encouraging the spread of unregulated data copying (or copyright infringement to the aforementioned parties).
Karma, as I understand it, is the universal spirit redirecting the effects of your actions back to you. Karma does not automatically take the form of the action you performed. E.G. Karma for murder would most likely not be a reciprocal murder. What you are describing is more like revenge amplified to the level of massacre.
Because Human life isn't valued in economic terms, not yet anyway. By your judgment, everything up to and including genocide would be perfectly justified as long as the balance sheet came out positive.
There is no line where the unthinkable becomes OK. If it's wrong for a million people to be killed for a reason, then it's also wrong for 1 person to be killed.
According to this http://www.aafp.org/afp/20000815/825.html diagnosis is usually done at 16 weeks at the earliest. That puts the baby squarely in the 2nd trimester, and squarely into the gray zone as to whether the baby is an individual with rights. So we are definitely not talking about "a bunch of cells".
25% is a very good return, if you ask a spammer. A.I.'s that can fool 25% of the population would make POWERFUL grassroots opinion changes in the political landscape.
They use the reduce performance and features technologies. Things like less trunk and passenger space, and the ability to hit 70 mph with enough acceleration left over to pass the semi at 100mph on a short straight.
It comes down to the companies controlling officers opinion of the companies' needs.
On one hand, I see no motivation for small to midsized businesses to contribute to open source applications, especially those that don't relate to the business' operating needs. Each business' business model and methods are distinct enough that most software is completely proprietary, or a proprietary implementation of a base package.
On the other hand, public relations is sometimes given more consideration. Contributing to relevant open source projects can be very benificial if the package is used and useful to the company.
That's like saying today's non-mechanical people should be limited to 3 cylindars in their SUV's, because then they would really notice the loss of power when something gets out of tune.

I'm sure the arguement would evaporate the minute they apply the same labor rates to themselves.

You've finally solved the problem. Intelligence is the result of survival boredom.
TFA specifically states that they ruled out echolocation.

Using the curved needs as conductors for the electrodes would strike me as innovative too, but please strike that stupid method BS from the books.
Yeah that would completely throw out the Pluto-Charon orbital charts!

Yeah. Just ignore the cost of transmission. No loss at all there.
Oh great. Fluidics. Han Solo would be so proud.
