Rapists are caught and prosecuted for rich or poor. Murderers are caught and prosecuted for rich or poor. Your arguments are not only pathetic, they are blatently false.
"That description really only seems to work for painting, where each brush stroke is a near permanent piece of the finished product. Even if covered up with another colour, the original will still show through in some minute way."
Doesn't even work then. The only way to find out if Picasso has another "sketch" under the painting is to use non-human sensory investigatory tools (like XRay). To the human, it's still the painting. That's why an artist scrapes the original brush stroke off.
"He argued that as a text progresses, it creates a meaningful context within which words that have been used already are more likely to appear than other, random words. For example, it is more likely that the rest of this article will contain the word 'music' than the word 'sausage'."
That is a revalation? It took an "expert" to tell us that a text dealing with a topic will have more words relating to that topic than words *not* relating to the topic?
I am again in awe of academia for muddling the obvious with "science".

No. Street vendors can simply become obnoxious by their numbers. *Your* tolerance of their numbers and *others'* tolerance of their numbers may not be the same, eh?
Hence the requirement for permits, it limits their numbers.
Bullshit. I develop software, and have done so since '72. "Zero defects" is an absolute statement. One can wiggle all one wants, redefine the meaning of "zero", or redefine the meaning of "defects".
Osama is related to the mafia only from the roaring twenties when they shot up masses of innocent people.
More US...terrorists, because its happening all the time within our borders.
Your last paragraph is simplistically dumb. Terrorism is international. Tracking money is more difficult when the other countries don't want to co-operate. Grow up in your logical arguments.

How the hell was this informative to the topic? Why wasn't it modded OT?
Another pathetically shallow pile of straw.

Bullshit.
... the value of the products remains the same."
"...its value is as high as the cost of reproducing and distributing it."
That's only your opinion. It is not a fact. I have a different opinion. So do the courts. Besides which, you defeat your own argument.
"Money is an abstract representation
Notice your closing phrase. The value of the copy (a movie) remains the same. So, he has booted a movie (stolen).
Dude, grow your own pot. They've been crop-dusting the stuff you're smoking.
Bzzzzzt!!
Wrong. Studies of bird and whale songs show that they use and prefer the same kinds of structures that humans do. Very much like nature.

Warning! Warning! Socialist rant.
So, employees run the show and business?
"The mother crying for her dead son is the realest thing I've ever seen in a theater."
Really? Even if that son was killed by terrorists instead of US agents?
MM says that President Bush arranged special flights to bet the bin Laden family out of America. He did not.
Let me know if you were LYING about sending me the $1000.
"I have yet to see a single fact in F911 that has been proven false."
Gee, what an incredibly stupid thing to say. Akin to saying you've yet to see a single fact in Mein Kampf that has been proven false.
Facts cannot be proven false, dummo.
"The facts are true"
You DO realize this is a meaningless statement. ANY facts are true. It's the falsehoods he presents as facts that bother me.
"Victims of the new bill..."
Biased? Naw.
You *DO* realize, don't you, that Ayn Rand was one of the most agressive proponents of shark-like capitalism?
How the hell is this factually inacurrate political rant rated insightful?
Inciteful, maybe.
You are right, your dorkness. But, previous felonys can be used to show you are a *career criminal*, and so net you a stiffer sentence. Grow a brain.
Bullshit. I develop software, and have done so since '72. "Zero defects" is an absolute statement. One can wiggle all one wants, redefine the meaning of "zero", or redefine the meaning of "defects".
Still bullshit. A bug is a defect.
"It's a symptom of having w3schools.com graduates making web sites in Frontpage that only work on front page."
I have yet to come across a page that NetScape couldn't render. I don't know what you and dad are talking about.
Do you, or do you not, understand the use of commas?
What part of "much still needs to be done" did you not understand?
Use some CGI and *get the hell rid of the idea that EVERY friggin' intelligent species in the universe is a damn humanoid*.
Human/centipedal interaction on a regular basis beats human/klingon/romulan/..... with head creases interaction. Yeesh.

Yes, and it has already been done. Remove your tin foil.
