Right. If you don't have the nerve to correct your sons behaviour, I'd bet you don't have the nerve to confront anyone else. Sounds like yer just one of those folks who scream on forums because you know no one will do anything about it and it makes your nads feel better.
Take control of *your own* responsibilities first (read your son), before whining about someone else doing it for you.
If you "understand" that, please provide something other than your hearsay. Maybe a link or, if you've the nerve, some actual statements that can be prosecuted if found to be libelous?
While a lot of reasons have been given to your question, the simplest is this:
It wasn't *just* the dinosaurs. Reptiles, amphibians, plants, diatoms........
Lots of extinction, not just dinos.
Before you get huffy about only dinos went completely extinct, check out birds.
Uh, read some economics. Telecoms don't put funding *into* cities, they take it *out*. *Any* freebies they give are a paltry sum of their take. All of those things would be done by a gov system.
Academia. Land of TA's who want to do as little work as possible to earn that money that supports their studies.
Your 1,2,3 are all faulty if applied to the working world. Which, by the way, is where real life is.
Your last sentence has a blob of irony in it. Can you spot it?
Assuming it "could have easily been done unmanned", you'd be right. But, you're not.
There are many things that can be done by a sentient explorer that can't by a dumb-assed robot. Robots also jam.
The Brooklyn and San Fran bridges cost many times more lives than the entire U.S. space program. But, we should wait until we have robots to build new bridges, right?
Get your priorities in order.
And there you have how easy it is to project what "could" happen. The harder part would be learning "how" to fine tune the structure of the impurities, etc.
"Also aren't diamonds pretty much destruction proof"
No. They chip.
"Umm being found guilty of DWI is a life-destroying event. It will cost you at least ten years of your life. You are going to lose your license -- there's a good chance you will lose your job -- your Insurance rates are going to increase anywhere from 3x to 10x times depending on the state (I work for an insurance agency and I've seen policies go from $600 to $4,500 over DWI convictions), it'll be published in the paper, your friends are probably going to turn their backs on you and there's a good chance you'll be doing some jail time and/or paying pretty big fines."
What the hell world do you live in?
License, job -- bullsh*t.
Insurance -- fine.
Paper, friends turning backs, jail time -- Bull.
"I never could have afforded them anyway"
Ah, the plaintiff rationalization of the thief.
"To put it another way, if you work minimum wage at Burger King and you download $200,000 worth of music, have you really deprived the music industry of $200,000? No."
Yes.
*You* would be the law-breaker, not the recipient. They didn't request the material. Downloaders, however, *do* request the material.
Someone morally opposed to the DMCA, who has agreed to let you distribute their cr's material, would be complicit in your scam. And again, the recipient didn't request it.
Apparently you don't read dictionaries. Webster's, Oxford's, et.al. There is more than *one* definition to most words, ya know.
A lie is an untruth. The *reason* for the lie can vary from innocent to malicious.
Read a dictionary if you don't believe me.
What's yer point? Programming languages are not structured like Romance and Teutonic either.
Not even Cobol is *really* English. Do you talk with perform something varying this by that until the-other? Hardly.

Please describe the typical cell-phone user accurately, a twenties-something yuppie-type, inconsiderate dick. Not a hick.
And how, pray tell, would you differentiate between someone who just happened to think up the same idea, but second, from the person who is lying and just claiming to have independantly thought of it? Hmmm.
"all modern discoveres are merely the result of standing on the shoulders of those who went before us"
Old, tired saw. That goes for all information at all times? And? How would you propose someone recoup the time and investment of the R&D? Are you digging in your pocket and sending cash in thanks?
"GPL"
Bully. People have always donated when they wanted. If you attach strings, fine. If I charge a buck, fine.
"(ie you own the capital)"
Really? I reap the benefits, and I don't own the capital.
"Anyone who disagrees with this probably doesn't have much experience coding in assembler to begin with."
Screw you. I've been at this since the late 60's. Coding in assembler is fine for tinie, winie stuff, not applications which accomplish most of the world's functionality.
It never ceases to amaze me how someone with a functioning brain can make the insipid leap to conclude that a friggin' algorithm is a living thing.
Either the authors are just pimping themselves or are entertaining some serious grandious god-like delusions.
No Virginia, there are no living ai or robots.

Take control of *your own* responsibilities first (read your son), before whining about someone else doing it for you.
Wrong. Your actions determine the situation. If you *donate* something, you no longer own it, it becomes the recipient's property.
If you "understand" that, please provide something other than your hearsay. Maybe a link or, if you've the nerve, some actual statements that can be prosecuted if found to be libelous?
'never attribute...stupidity'
Please. Theft is theft is theft.
The were TOLD and argued to continue the practice.
They *knew* they were stealing.
If you presume stupidity, then the thief will merely pretend to be stupid.
Stupid straw argument. Studying randomness in coin tosses *is* trivial to the point of absurdity if it costs the taxpayer even one cent.

"Or, they could ......"
All of which, they could be voted out for.
Can you vote out your corporate provider?
Academia. Land of TA's who want to do as little work as possible to earn that money that supports their studies.
Your 1,2,3 are all faulty if applied to the working world. Which, by the way, is where real life is.
Your last sentence has a blob of irony in it. Can you spot it?
You haven't read much poetry, have you? *Most* of it is hacking, not art.
Hackers do not poets make
They just don't have the time
To think for hours upon end
To make their coding rhyme
