When something goes wrong, you just rise the terrorist alert, and people stop thinking about anything else.
I'm an American, and I have to say that I've never given more than a fleeting thought to any of these terrorist alert levels. And further, I've never heard anyone mention them in any conversation I've been involved in. I only know of them from the news.
I don't think anyone is distracted. Secondly, if you believe there aren't people thinking critically of the Bush Administration, you're quite the fool.
You have every right, if what I'm doing is to you or your property.
I do a lot of fishing, catch and release. While catching fish from someone's pond does not hurt them or their fish, they have every right not to allow me to fish there.
The point of the p2p argument is that regardless of what reason you try to back it up with, you are stealing other people's property. You can't steal the DVD from the store because you think it costs too much, and neither can you steal it on the internet.
As far as I've heard, the lawsuits have been filed against IP addresses, which are then later translated into a person.
Maybe most of the idiots who still haven't disabled sharing are college students and 13 year olds.
In any case, I'm not pulling for a successful defense until someone innocent is accused, and I'd say it's unlikely that it happened yet.
Actually, I just burned one out a couple weeks ago. Brand new KDS flat-screen 17 incher.
It emitted some foul odors and quit working.
Then again, what do you expect from walmart displays?

This is obviously not a troll.
It's a link to a blog by a highly-regarded poker player.

I was under the impression that it was evolved from a weapon, and I was given that impression by the official learn-to-yo-yo video by Duncan.
Agreed.
Even Ms. Pacman was better.
