You are suggesting that perhaps Esophageal cancer gives you a craving for hot beverages. Or perhaps there is an external factor, like eating carrots, which gives these people both esophageal cancer and a craving for hot beverages.
Or maybe we could just take the simplest explanation and concede that in this case, causation is the most likely relationship that explains this correlation.
I agree that copyright should be reduced, but you lost me when you said:
None of us engineers, programmers, or other laborers get a multi-decade monopoly over our creations....
If you are a programmer, you have the choice to write code, copyright it, and make money on it for as long as it is relevant.. mind you that's probably not decades, but it's also not an hourly rate then "No more money."
Just because you choose "work for hire" doesn't mean that's the only choice out there.
You completely neglect the fact that drug companies patent drugs and make back their research costs (through monopoly pricing) over the first couple of decades of sales.
They do experience piracy. Typically from nations where intellectual property rights are not well respected.
Your suggestion that they come up with an hourly rate for research is nonsensical. Who do they present the bill to? You? The government?
Many character issues were raised during the campaign, including allegations that Clinton had dodged the draft during the Vietnam War, and had used marijuana, which Clinton claimed he had pretended to smoke, but "didn't inhale."
A conversation between Bush and an old friend, author Doug Wead, touched on the subject of use of illegal drugs. In the taped recording of the conversation, Bush explained his refusal to answer questions about whether he had used marijuana at some time in his past. “I wouldn’t answer the dope questions,” Bush says. “You know why? Because I don’t want some little kid doing what I tried.”[15] When Wead reminded Bush of his earlier public denial of using cocaine, Bush replied, "I haven't denied anything."[16]"
The term was originally used to say that ISPs should not restrict their customers by blocking access to applications and content that might compete with applications and content that they or their partners would offer.
Then it was used to say that ISPs should not use traffic shaping, even if their motive is to better share the bandwidth available to their customers.
Now apparently it means that you get to tell people what they can and can't do on their individual sites and with their individual businesses.
But seriously, "Take questions. You are wrong." Perhaps that was a little strongly worded. I mean, it's hardly controversial to take questions at the end of a presentation.
a) They're all giving away their content for free on the internet, print subscriptions are falling through the floor.
b) No single paper can charge internet subscriptions, because people will just turn to other papers.
c) Web ad revenue brings in less money than print ad revenue used to.
d) Craig's List has completely destroyed the lucrative classified ads revenue source.
So basically, they haven't found a way to make enough money to do the journalism that we expect from them. The whole industry is sinking, from the best of them to the worst.
No question that anyone who wants to make a living programming probably needs to learn a business safe language like the ones you mention.
Still, some of us really enjoy programming, even when we aren't making a buck off it. Working with a new language can make you think about programming in a new way, and can teach you lessons that you can bring back to your day to day business work.
The judge's role is to decide issues of law, and the jurors' duty is to decide issues of fact.
In this case, both sides agreed that he violated copyright and that he was liable for it. The only issue that then remained was whether he did it "willfully" or not. The jury got to determine this, which determined what his liability was.
He basically walked into court and said, Yes, everything they're saying is true. What sort of result were you expecting?

It used to just say "Harmless."

Here's a slate article from 2006:
http://www.slate.com/id/2140850/
"To take a strong example, would it be a problem if AT&T makes it slower and harder to reach Gmail and quicker and easier to reach Yahoo! mail?"
This is what net neutrality used to mean. There is not a single mention of traffic shaping in the article.
I don't disagree that it's come to mean something else. And my point is that it looks like it's still on the move...
Net Neutrality now means anything you want it to.

But you also provide soft drinks... Bring on the go-go boys!
You're not wrong about each server being a cog in the machine, but:
Google doesn't have some state-of-the-art data center
Google has a ton of state of the art data centers.

I was reading about one in Brussels that even has its own water treatment facility for the coolant systems.
You.. Don't
He's just blowing hard. I've been playing 4th edition for that last year with just the Player's Handbook, and I've been having a lot of fun.
I'd hate to be riding that .9149th of a train.. I mean, you'd have plenty of time to get up to full speed before the track suddenly ended...
I've been feeling queasy for the last hour or so after just watching the you tube videos of the effect. It took about 15 minutes to start up.
Definitely not a personal defense tool, but it seems like it would be very effective at dispersing mobs of people.
Further on in Braid you also start to interact with yourself in parallel time lines.
You perform certain actions, rewind, and then start time moving forwards and play alongside your shadow self...

Sounds like a good idea to help engage people.
But seriously, "Take questions. You are wrong." Perhaps that was a little strongly worded. I mean, it's hardly controversial to take questions at the end of a presentation.
This is correct.
Present just the information you've been tasked to convey.
Present it in at least 2 different ways.
Take questions.
Summarize once more and let them out early.
Honestly, the more you try to cram in there the less they're going to take away.
Did you start from the beginning of season 1? It's character driven. If you've followed it from the beginning it'll make a lot more sense.
I'm not saying it's great or anything, but it makes me smile.
According to this site:

That would be the equivalent of $1,322,201 per episode in today's dollars.
They may still have weather data, and potentially seasonal data, or day of the week information.
The service predicts whether a specific flight that takes off in the next six hours will be on time.
So the specific flight you checked had an 85% of being on time. It wasn't telling you that the route was on time 85% of the time.
It uses real time data about the incoming aircraft for the route, the general airport situation, and regional weather to make its prediction.
In order to do a real test you'll have to check the system on days you're actually flying.
The crisis in the newspaper industry:
a) They're all giving away their content for free on the internet, print subscriptions are falling through the floor.
b) No single paper can charge internet subscriptions, because people will just turn to other papers.
c) Web ad revenue brings in less money than print ad revenue used to.
d) Craig's List has completely destroyed the lucrative classified ads revenue source.

Let's not forget how fun masturbation can be!
Ok, I actually bothered to RTFA, and I agree. It does look a little sketchy.
Interesting... I wonder what happens as you approach the 8 year mark... when you can file for bankruptcy again.
