When you are complaining about how stupid other people are, you really should make an effort to use correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Your post failed at all three, in addition to your lack of understanding of how capital letters work.
You wouldn't need to pierce the corporate veil in this case. They wouldn't be going after the board of directors, they'd be going after the company itself.
If there was a fine associated with a false DMCA takedown notice, and it was enforced most of the time, it would put an end to the automated spamming of them.
Top-down control when taken to its logical conclusion also means having Congress order you to install thermostats in your home which they can turn-off at any point (like on a hot day when the power grid is overloading... goodbye A/C). Or ordering you to buy a Prius or similar hybrid. Or outlawing SUVs. Or ordering you to buy a Windows PC so you can do online voting/polling. And so on.
That's not the "logical conclusion". That's called "reductio ad absurdum".
Unless, of course, the "religious cranks" get on top. Then where will you be?
Emigration or armed revolution, I suppose.
Fortunately, even with the last president, the country resisted turning into the full-fledged theocracy so many of his supporters wanted. Sure, he gave away a few tens of billions of dollars of our tax money to specific churches, which was bad and wrong, but not nearly as bad as forcing teenage rape victims to marry their rapists and stoning gays to death like these people promote in other more theocratic countries.
Perhaps this should be left to more local control so parents, who care more about their children than you or any beauracrat does, get to decide.
"care more about" != "know how to educate properly".
Ummm.... when he presents a passage from the Bible clearly as a metaphor for a larger truth, how do you come to the conclusion that he's "rooting for a literal interpretation"?
Perhaps you literally don't know the meaning of the word literal?
And the conclusion is correct - Reason is irrelevant to anyone who still holds to the idea that the moon landing was a hoax. There is no evidence you can show them that they will be unable to justify away.
What's really bad about this is that a fast-food restaurant like McDonald's should, in theory, be the last place you might get food poisoning.
Yeah, I blame employees not washing their hands too.
I haven't been able to bring myself to set foot in the place (or wheel in the drive-through as it were) since the late 90s, when I ended up in the emergency room after three days of vomiting so badly I couldn't even keep water down. No fun.
There were six Apollo missions that successfully landed on the moon, kept people alive there for hours to days, and successfully returned them to Earth.
Why pick on the one that didn't?
And, really, if my only choice was to go to Mars, but be unable to land because something went wrong, and have to loop around and come back, I'd still do it.
If there's any traces of life on Mars, astronauts on the ground for the long term, with local equipment and labs are *more* likely to find it than robotic probes launched once a decade or so.
Nope. They don't go by what's posted on your wall, they go by what's in your profile.
Anybody doing any serious investigation of any competency will read your wall (so the FBI knows your real birthday, but the Department of Homeland Security does not), but when sold in bulk to advertisers, they aren't going to take the time to analyse everybody's entire history of wall posts.
I do the same thing, and probably get as many or more "happy birthday" posts on my fake birthday as on my real one.
When you don't immunize your child, you are not just gambling with your child's life. You're gambling with the lives of the people your child comes in contact with.
That quote needs to be on TV ads, kisosks, and billboards across the nation.

"Contains a clinically tested ingredient!"
Or "Protect". Pretty much any law that has the word "Protect" or "Protection" in the title is guaranteed to do exactly the opposite.
No. He's saying if 10,000 people buy holy water off of eBay and 5,000 of them complain that it wasn't holy enough, they'll ban Christian items too...
You mean...select against them?
Naturally.

On older, but strangely far superior, equipment, the password is Joshua5.
(Well, technically, they'd have to turn you over to the military and have them shoot you...)
This is unlikely to happen in very many cases, however, even though it's legal.
Nowhere does it say, or even imply, that each of the four possibilities is equal. Only that there are only four of them.
As you yourself immediately pointed out in your own more verbose example, four possibilites does *not* mean a 25% chance of each.
It's unlikely that that's the configuration used by 80% of Facebook users.
Uncrop!

It could be worse, depending.
Having your SSN compromised can be fixed through filling out some forms, paying some fees, and forwarding a few dozen letters to wishful creditors.
But whenever a new HR department googles you and finds that one picture...

You obviously don't have any sisters.
I'm not discounting the possibility.
I'm still sending in my application, though.

Your tinfoil hat is on way too tight.
Umm.... really? You think it's outlandish that if someone really cared to read your Facebook posts, they could?
They can read my slashdot posts, too, and if I mentioned my birthday here, they could find out what it is.
What, to you, makes that "tinfoil hat" worthy?
Or did you just recently hear that phrase and think it's clever and couldn't wait for a more appropriate time to use it yourself?

Remember all those people who caused the tech boom of the 90s grew up during a time when post-apocalyptic fiction was one of the most popular genres.
Between the cold war and the religious mania of the early 80s, "If Jesus doesn't get you, Oppenheimer will" was the phrase of the day.
But a lot of people still went into science and engineering...
