The word 'why' means different things in different contexts. A why-question can either ask for cause or morality. Scientist tend to answer the cause question, while religious types tend to concentrate on morality. The same seems heuristically true for males vs females.
But the meaning of the word 'war' is constantly being diluted by american politicians. It seems they think it means 'fierce fight' or something like that. No reasonable person would start a war unless it was the last resort for survival.
The speed limit on highways is from 100 to 130 kmph (60-80 mph) in europe, depending on country. The traffic speeds about 15% on average. So driving 140(87) isn't uncommon. Germany has no speed limit. That's why mercedeses and porches are build to cruise at 200(125).
Step 1 of your solution is only feasable for electronic music. If you want to do real instuments you'll need: a soundproof studio, the instuments themselves, lots of high quality microphones (each instrument needs different types), an unimaginable number of expensive cables, a mixing/mastering solution (this could be that 'cheap digital tool'). Furthermore you'd need someone with the skills to mix and master it. And possibly some session musicians to play the instruments, if you're a singer/songwriter.
Oh, and you forgot a step:
2.5. Spend lots of time/cash on promoting the act. This step should be included in both your problem and your solution.
So. A court decides that software producers aren't responsible for the user's own actions with that software, and now these folks want to blame the software if a lot of the users abuse it?
This happens all the time. It's the way law evolves. Court makes a decision upon current law. If people (??AA in this case) dislike that decision they'll complain about it to the government. Then the government may change the law so courts will make different decisions next time.
It looks to me like France is violating human rights.
Almost any country is in violation of the universal declaration of human rights. E.g. the US of A violates at least articles 3 (death penalty) and 10 (Guantanamo Bay). In this case France is indeed in violation of article 19.
Just to make up an example, there are "many" people in the tribe. Each day one person walks an hour to some trees and picks "many" apples to bring back. [...]
You don't need to count to solve that problem. You just pick an apple for Alice, then pick an apple for Bob, etc. etc., until you've got an apple for your entire family. You won't thinking about the abstract concept of "many people", but you'd be thinking about the individuals themselves.

The terms used in psychology are 'fluid intelligence' and 'crystallized intelligence'
Fluid Intelligence is "a natural ability which is not dependant on acquired knowledge" Crystallized Intelligence is "ability dependent on acquired knowledge"
You are right: Commodore is just an office furniture builder from the 1950s. It is MOS Technologies who made the C64, and it's Amiga Inc. that made the Amiga.
From C='s site: "In 1976 Commodore borrowed three million dollars from Canadian financier Irving Gould and purchased MOS Technologies, an American manufacturer of semi-conductors." and "In 1985 Commodore bought Amiga Inc. and the company was renamed Commodore-Amiga."
Commdore has never been much more than a name. (No flamebait intended.)
The problem is that most people think that that Blue E == The Web == The Internet. E.g. many don't see they're also using internet when they're e-mailing. When you say "I'm gonna remove IE and give you firefox.", they think "He's gonna remove my internet access for some fire security reason! Ahrg!" They somehow just can't grasp what the internet is. What they see is the web, therefore they assume that the web == the internet. To start 'the internet', they click the blue E, therefore they assume that the blue E == the internet.
Somehow you've got to educate those people that The Internet != The Web != Blue E. Now you're just abusing their primitive assumptions.;)
Twins don't have the same fingerprint.
Twins have similar prints because the basic print is determined genetically. However prints can be altered in the amniotic environment. The skin of a
fetus is "soft" and "pruny" like you are when you are in the bathtub. Depending on how the fetus is laying or pressed against something the prints
can be molded slightly differently in each twin. So they are not identical but similar.
The whole story can be read in Linus' book:

War is gruesomely terrifying.

This does not look cool. A Firebird looks cool. A Dodge Viper or a Ford GT looks cool.

A dadaistic search engine would be nihilistic.

I want to know how many cubits we're talking about here!
1 kilometer = 2 187.2266 cubits
I think the idea is that the computers operating the cameras would determine suspicious behavior, not requiring human intervention.
Those suspicious behaviour detecting algorithms are made by humans you know. I don't think computers evolved a sense of morallity yet.
Why is surveillance cameras that spot suspicious behavior bad?
It isn't, but the persons determining what is "suspicious behavior" might be "bad". Or worse: they may be stupid!
(car bombs are always made out of white vans or white sedans).
Phew! I'm safe! No white vans or sedans to be seen! (Just black choppers.)
Could they have possibly picked a more random animal for that example?
Could they have picked a more stupid example?
Sea Turtles like the loggerhead have been around for 75-100 million years. They have survived multiple flip-flops already! They'll be just fine.
"won't someone please think of the turtles" indeed.

And why is this corporate info written in Engrish?
Because engrish are spoken by more peoples than either american or britterish. Did you know not that?

Were they compressed, stored, transmitted and then decompressed? And were they audioand/or video files? Looks like this is what's needed.
Compression: Glyps are compressed using ascii codes
Decompressed: Ascii-byte-codes decompress to glyps.
Video/Audio: Some ascii-art has animation and beeps.
