Then you mustn't know many smokers. All the ones I know in the workplace get three smoke breaks per day, the same number of roster-ed breaks that non-smokers get.
So if for example I were to indicate that I liked engaged in sexual acts with people of the same sex as me, Facebook has every right to tell me parents about it?
So because his theory was flawed in some respect, we ignore him completely? Does that mean we completely ignore the free-market fundamentalists that failed to predict the current shit storm that the world is going through?
I don't get the opposition to hunting non-endangered whales. The whales being hunted(mostly minke whales), are nowhere near endangered, so why is there just so much opposition to the whaling?
So, lets just hunt them until they are endangered and then move on to the next species?
It's not completely victimless. It's lost opportunity to other game developers since you're playing some other game you pirated instead of getting theirs.
It's no opportunity lost, as it's not an either/or situation. You could still get the other game developers game (if you were inclined to do so in the first place) as well as pirating the one that you are unable to acquire legitimately.
This would be true if everyone had infinite amount of time and endless interest in playing games. But we don't, and the pirated game is decreasing the time and interest you have to play other games. It's not really complicated.
The point implied by my statement, it that if someone was really that interested in the other game in the first place, they'd get it. The alternative to illegally downloading and playing a game that is unable to be obtained in any other way isn't limited to purchasing and playing a game by other game developers. Perhaps I'm not interested, at that point in time, in purchasing and playing another game, perhaps I'd rather stare at my navel or go on a hike, etc. So as another poster pointed out, in your line of argument, any activity other than purchasing the other game developers game is a opportunity lost, which is frankly an absurd argument.

Wouldn't that mean black holes aren't necessarily rare, but only that black holes near gas clouds are rare? There could be millions of them in the interstellar void, but with no gas to form an accretion disk, they would be completely invisible. And lensing effects would be incredibly difficult to detect. In fact, I thought that we only really detected most black holes if they were part of a binary system (which gives plenty of matter for x-ray radiation).
And, of course, it is absolutely impossible to see something that emits no radiation (ignoring the possibility of Hawking radiation, which is too weak to see in most cases anyways), so technically black holes aren't hard to see: they are impossible to see. We can only infer it's presence through the effect it has on matter outside the black hole itself. The x-ray radiation is not technically from the black hole itself, but rather from the effect that it's gravitational field has on incoming matter.
I'm not an astrophysicist... but I'm working on changing that.
This is similar to one alternate theory to the whole dark matter garbage, to explain the amount of mass thought to exist in the universe (most of which we can't account for). Except instead of millions this theory suggests billions of tiny (about the size of a small town) black holes.
No they can't commit murder, they can however commit acts which amount to, were they living/breathing individuals, criminally negligent homicide/gross negligence manslaughter/culpable homicide/etc. (depending which country you live in) and as they are afforded all of the rights of individuals, without all of the responsibilities of living/breathing individuals, they can (for all intents and purposes) get away with it. Clearly this is not an acceptable situation.

"They're hardheaded, hard-drinking, tough little bastards. 'The Irish of Asia.'" -- P. J. O'Rourke
Mind you, P. J. is of Irish extraction, so he meant that as a mix of compliment and self-deprecation.
The Irish have nothing on Australians when it comes to drinking. I'm afraid we've set a very high benchmark for the rest of the world.
Are you planing on shooting down any aircraft that flies over your property too?
Are you suggesting that non-smokers always take their bathroom/coffee breaks at the same time as their roster-ed breaks?
Then you mustn't know many smokers. All the ones I know in the workplace get three smoke breaks per day, the same number of roster-ed breaks that non-smokers get.
Your argument assumes that non-smokers are still working during their "non-smoking breaks". I see no basis in fact for your assumption.
Courts in Australia have upheld people being fired after having a beer on their lunch breaks.
You have no right to expect me to respect your belief in imaginary friends.
Of course that's explains it all. It's the _very_expensive_ freight involved in the shipment of CDs. I knew there had to be an answer.
Where's the dislike or don't care option.
So if for example I were to indicate that I liked engaged in sexual acts with people of the same sex as me, Facebook has every right to tell me parents about it?
I actually have some LuaJIT financial data processing code that runs faster than anything I have been able to code in C.
I call shenanigans.
Not in the USA (where he's from), we live and breath the 1st.
Is that the one which allows you to yell "fire" in a crowded cinema?

I used to be an anti-whaling activist, but then I took an arrow in the knee.
As well as lots of other species. No fuss about those.
So if I'm not taking action about every single issue on the planet, I'm automatically discredited?
Those guys ... endanger the lives of fishermen who are just doing their jobs.
If I recall correctly, the "just doing my job" bit didn't fly too well at Nuremberg.

Nuclear is the safest, cleanest, and cheapest option we have. We need to stop listening to fearmongers and figure out how to make it work right.
60+ years hasn't been long enough to "figure out how to make it work right"?

I had a floppy drive not made by commodore (can't remember the maker). It was cheaper and faster than the commodore ones.
It's been a long time since I read any of that book, but I don't remember the bit that said "Thy shall not touch thyself".
It's slang used by people who actually use the English language, not the bastardized version. It's slang for money.
