So where do you draw the line between tipping an officer for doing you a "favor" and bribing him to do you a "favor"?
Probably depends on the legality of the "favor".
"Arrest my neighbor, officer. They stole that lawn ornament in their front yard from my front yard" isn't quite the same as "I don't like my neighbor, how about "accidentally" emptying your clip into them?".
What I want to know, though, is, isn't selling unauthorized copies of movies a federal crime? Why isn't the MPAA bribing, I mean tipping, the FBI or some other federal enforcement agents?
Do you think a 100 gallon fuel cell is likely to operate on the same potential difference as a small one?
It's a question of size (i.e. spacing between electrodes) rather than power. The original poster asks a valid question.
And the poster to whom you replied makes an accurate observation as well. If there is a conductive path between the fuel cell's electrodes then probably the larger the cell the greater the conductance (lower the resistance). This means in order to keep the applied voltage up to the necessary level the lower the voltage source's internal resistance needs to be. In other words the more current it needs to be able to provide at that voltage level.
It's kind of like you need 12 Volts to start a car but two 6 Volt lantern batteries or eight "D" cells in series won't do the job because they can't deliver enough current.
"Or more likely the new text will be copyright as an image of the original. Much like many pictures of old paintings are copyright. So it will be the institution that will benefit. Not the authors long dead or even the creative scientists that did the work."
"...they should respect the first amendment rights of others..."
How come in your world nobody but the license holder gets first amendment rights with regard to a particular broadcast TV channel allocation?
"...they are one station among 40 or so on the cable list."
Cable ain't broadcast. The Fairness Doctrine was only applied to over the air stations without regard to whether or not they were also re-transmitted over a cable system.
Maybe you've stumbled onto a way around the re-incarnation limit problem. He gets to come back, but as a female. With the right actress and decent scripts it might just actually work.
The key to fan motor (and CD drive disc spinning motor)lubricating is a mixture of sewing machine oil or 3-in-1 and a molybdenum grease product called "IgnitionLube" (used in the old "points" style distributors on the rubbing block). IgnitionLube is also good for lubricating the rails the optical pickup slides along.
Wright's Silver Cream (a silverware polish) seems to work as well as, if not better than, toothpaste for de-scratching CDs, although I'd try de-natured alcohol and a foam swab for laser lens cleaning before trying to polish it.
The ballast does nothing to the frequency, it just limits current by acting as a choke coil. It's an inductive load in series with the path through the ionized gas inside the tube. 60 Hertz means 60 cycles per second which means 60 positive peaks per second and 60 negative peaks per second which means 120 total peaks per second. Another way of looking at it is that there are 2 zero crossings per cycle, therefore 120 zero crossings per second.
Light bulbs, incandescent or fluorescent, running off of house current "flash" 120 times per second.
Those "some individuals" are also part of the public and the airwaves belong to all of the public, not just a temporary majority.
If the government passed a law saying that newspapers had freedom of the press but that each town or city could only have one newspaper, would you still consider that freedom of the press?
And if the "abolish the FCC" crowd doesn't like your answer, they should reflect that the only alternatives which would have had the strength to establish one of themselves (or form an unholy alliance) in the formative years following World War I were either the military or the patent holding industrial giants such as A.T.&T. and General Electric.
"I'm still waiting for someone to show me where in the Constitution it says that freedom of the press is only allowed if..." yada, yada, yada.
Show me where the Constitution says freedom of the press includes the government having to supply the press. What part of "the airwaves are the property of the people as a whole, and holders of broadcast licenses are only permitted to use them in the public interest, not to exploit a monopoly to push one particular point of view" are you not grasping?

If the cops start charging too much the MPAA will just outsource it to illegal aliens, just like they do their yardwork back in L.A.

They? Both the ice cream and your dad?
Well, there's all those years I spent as an announcer at various AM and FM stations. :-)
Forgetting? Sounds more like they've found one way to get money for free and are looking for others.
Nope, BBQ is pronounced "Eastern North Carolina pig pickin' ".
Actually, it wasn't CBS's "Smothers Brothers Show", it was NBC's "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In".
Another excellent satire about the power of the phone company is the James Coburn movie "The President's Analyst".
Oh, kind of like Disney, huh?
And now if you'll excuse me, I'm going outside for a coffin nail.

Come to think of it, how about Timothy Dalton as the next Doctor?

Lemme guess - "I wanna f*** you like a relative".
I must be way ahead of the curve, then, cause I've been tired of them since early '94 :-)
The Magic Smoke is, of course, factory installed.

So each geographical area should have 3 or 4 channel 7s or 13s? Spectrum is like land, they ain't making anymore of it.

I feel safe* in saying that she didn't get scared, she got smart.
*Having watched almost all of the series (except of course for the beginning and ending episodes which were never carried in my market).
All the materials that are needed for house building are increasing in price and you think the solution is to make mortgages more expensive?

Also an interesting question but not the one to which I was referring.
