I think that 'pro-piracy' would force Adapted to start 'accidentally' posting their software to low-speed, poor-reliability public ftp servers, running on port 31337.

I forgot that water was so much more dangerous than nitrogen gas! Remind me to stay away from that glass of water next time I'm thirsty. (J/K, I understand your point).
From a physical point of view, for equal volumes of gas and water, there will be many more particles in the _water_ phase. This will allow much more heat to be contained within the water phase, and the water should be a much better heat-absorbing substance than any gas.
I would agree that at most of the Ivies (perhaps universities in general) grade inflation is rampant. However, there are few possible solutions. On the one hand, if businesses and graduate schools began to accept the fact that even the worst Ivy League student was better than the best state school student, grade inflation could end. Of course, I don't think this would go down well with the public, and I don't believe this to be true myself.
On the other hand, it could be stated as a general truth (not always true, but in about 98-99% of all non-sports-recruit cases) that most of the students at Ivy League schools (Or MIT, Caltech, GATech, Stanford, the list goes on and on) were the top of the class and probably all operate on a pretty high level. This argument would suggest that grade inflation is merely a reflection of the absolute (rather than relative) abilities of the students at Ivy League schools.
I don't support grade inflation, but I really cannot controvert the arguments that I've heard. If someone can find some answers to the above statements in support of grade inflation, I'd be really interested in reading them.
Now, your intellectual prowess certainly may dwarf my own feeble skillz, but I'd beg to differ about Yale being a joke school.
Seriously, I'd really like to beg about that, because if it is a joke school, with my joke GPA, I'm going to be so skr00d
OK, seriously though, I think it's important to look at the program and course rigor, not the reputation of the school. The fact that I'm at Yale and am still willing to make that statement has implications, though. I have faith in the programs of study here and am working my ass off for a 3.6GPA as well (Premed). I'm sure that Georgia Tech has very good programs of study (I mean, I'm factually certain that it's true); but it strikes me as odd that you would have to insult another institution in order to make you feel more comfortable about your own.
If you had asserted that imperial England did not begin until the 19th century (do you even know what was happening in Georgian England during the 18th century?) you would have gotten an F in my class, especially if you used it as a means to debunk postcolonial readings of The Tempest.
If you tried to assert that British Imperialism is merely the act of empire-building, and not the mindset of the masses, I would have certainly had an excellent time explaining the difference between postmodern interpretation of the term "British Imperialism" and your (firsthand) 1800's interpretation of the word.
You imply that you are a liberal educator (especially if you used it as a means to debunk postcolonial readings of The Tempest). However, unlike you, Yale professors would never drop a hard F on a student for attempting to interpret a literary work using the construct of british imperialism.
If you actually are an English professor, I pray that you are not so narrow minded that you would fail a student for interpreting a work differently (even if more conservatively) than you would like.
Does this mean that my neighbors will be able to see what I'm watching? This will invariably lead to copyright violation if somebody tries to watch a movie - there will be no such thing as a "private screening."
Plus, if the window is big enough, one's parents will know that one is watching porn before they even enter the driveway.
Commonly, high-risk activities are found to be addictive. Would you say that you were addicted to 'hacking' and social engineering? If so, did your lengthy sentence give you enough time to get over that addiction, or do you still feel the pangs of desire?

I think that the "Think Different" campaign encouraged people to stop thinking entirely!

Absolutely correct. However, the author's points still hold to some degree, even though his analogy doesn't work properly.
