I think that's a changeable option. You can tell it to show the rates in many different forms. I've get it set to show in kilobytes per second. Speed really depends on how many available hosts there are and how much bandwith they are giving (and how fast your own connection is).
I don't Shareaza for download BitTorrent files. I just got used to the regular BitTorrent program. Also, I had to reinstall BitTorrent because Shareaza hijacked the settings and took over for it.
Unfortunately, baseball isn't very popular in the U.K.. He would need to import one. Or use a cricket paddle/thing.
Anyway, a full-size baseball bat is rather cumbersome. Someone could send him one of those miniature bats baseball stadiums sometimes give away (or sell, I forget which). I had one and those things were just waiting to be used as weapons.
The U.S. does have nuclear power plants, it's just that we stopped building any more after the Three Mile Island accident. We got scared of using them.
That's not funny, that's true. In many states, once the paternity is established, there is no way to revoke it (for instance, California gives you two years to dispute, after that you are screwed -- assuming you are even aware that someone has named you as a father). It doesn't matter at all if you really aren't the father. The States don't care and, apparently, feminists don't either.
Actually, the U.S. has way more guns than Canada, even per capita. Something like 0.25 for Canada and 0.82 for the U.S. We kick their ass when it comes to gun ownership.
I got those numbers from some Canadian gun control site, but they are probably accurate.
Actually, I learned in an economics class that rich people tend to save money. However, this is good. The money goes into banks which is then lent out to other people and businesses.
Poor(er) people tend to spend money. Which is good, since it drives demand for consumer goods which gives those businesses demand for products.
One is called the propensity to save and the other the propensity to spend (I believe they are inverses of each other). Taxes can be used to control what a government wants to drive (such as consumer spending or putting money into banks). When do we do each of these things? That's a good question. I think a lot of economists just spend time trying to figure that part out.
Of course, I hear that the really, really rich don't pay any taxes since they invest their money into municipal bonds which generate non-taxable incomes.
Well, to be fair, each breast isn't the size of a watermelon. Combined they are probably about the size of a single watermelon. Individually they are more like cantaloupes.
A spammer might not take phone calls seriously enough. That's why I'd prefer to a put a horses head in his bed. If he doesn't get that message, well, then he must be McBrided.
In the fourth grade, I read War of the Worlds, in which theater was spelled "theatre". A few days after having finished it, I had to take a spelling test. One of the words was "theater", only I spelled it the other way, so it was marked wrong and I did not get a one hundred on the test. To this day, I hold that one test as a grudge against the British.
I may be wrong, but I think the idea is that Microsoft will sue organizations for contract/license violations. I guess the off-the-shelf version of Windows has a different license than the volume/organization versions.
Nintendo probably wouldn't have to design a special notch for cartridges. Since the optical disks are read only, Nintendo would have to include some way to save games. Internal memory is probably a bad idea, so memory cards would be used. Just make sure that GBA cartridges can fit into the memory card slot. Or just use GBA cartridges as memory cards (if possible, I don't really know).
Thing is, some bottled water is just bottled tap water. People are paying an insane price for water that is already provided at a cheap cost.

The thing is, just cutting down trees doesn't lead to deforestation. Usually, it takes either agriculture and urbanization in order to get rid of forestland. Forests have a tendency to grow back when humans stop plowing into the soil or constantly managing their lawns.
Using hemp would be nice, but there are some problems. First of all, you need someplace to grow it. With genetically modified crops, we can grow more food per acre, and thus free up farmland to grow hemp. However, there is currently controversy over GM foods, so I don't know if we can definitely count on that happening. The alternative is to cut down forests in order to make way for hemp-farms. This is counter-productive to the goal of saving forests.
On top of that, hemp is not nearly as useful as trees (note: this is a general statement, some trees are probably better for certain uses than other trees). Hemp has usually been used to make rope and sacks. However, wood from trees goes into building homes, furniture, and other structures along with the pulp we use for paper products (a lot of the the wood the makes paper is actually waste from mills that produce building materials) and is a cheap fuel source for developing/poor people.
Hemp would compete with other crops for manpower and machinery because it is a seasonal crop. Harvested hemp would have to stored under weatherproof conditions while trees usually can be left outside with the elements. Hemp doesn't work with existing mills, so new, specialty mills would have to be constructed. Basically, we would need an infrastracture change in order to accommodate large-volume hemp production.
Recently, I became a proponent of sustainable forestry (this is also where I got all that hemp vs. trees info). If people want to save forests, replacing what forests produce with other materials isn't the way to do it. If a tree has no value (can't turn it anything that can be sold), then trees will be cut down and replaced with something that will make money. If you want trees (and forests) to exist, then there has to be a demand for them. This seems like simple economics (glad I took that class) and seems logically correct (glad I took a Practical Reasoning class, too).
As long as care is taken to make sure a forest is replanted after logging, forestlands can be sustained.

Well, it's not that weird if you consider that normal sex should already have combo moves such as combining a pelvic thrust with a nipple pinch.

Revenue from rentals? Either they get a piece of the rental price or the rental places pay a lot more per video game, I'm not sure which.
Shouldn't rebuttals be reserved for cogent arguments? It seems like Moore relies on hearsay, strawmen, red herrings, and appeals to emotion.
