They'll then have to pay more money to make sure the highway is suitably-maintained to allow such speeds safely, and ensure that everyone's driving test procedure is stringent enough to make sure people can safely drive that fast.
What the fuck are you smoking? New codecs do come along all the time, but industry standard ones do not. H.264 has been years in the making. It is used end-to-end in most TV broadcasts, across the internet, on phones, and pretty much anything that has digital video uses h.264, and does it in hardware. Small commercial projects serving video to under 100,000 subscribers don't have to pay a penny. I take it you have no fucking idea about the licensing costs of h.264. It's dirt cheap. The little guy doesn't have to pay royalties for h.264.
Wow. We can't build a city in a few years and have a seamless transition from one to the other. That is absolute lunacy to suggest. Most of Europe was not flattened, either. I have no idea what world you live in, but it certainly isn't this one.
No, they're talking about the thousands of years of proxy data that's available, that shows a significant increase in global temperatures in the last 100-200 years, with last year being tied with 2005 as the hottest. BS indeed.
Aaah yes, noted scientist Professor Dr. Dr. Crichton. Guess what - a large meteor impact doesn't take 100 years, and the Earth sure as fuck would feel that.
It's a lot easier to effect carbon-capture in power stations than it is to do so in cars. Regardless of whether it's man or nature that's heating the Earth, clearly it's in our best interests, and the interests of future generations, to try to do all we can at minimising it. We can't stop volcanoes from erupting, but we sure as hell can curb our emissions as a species.
There were far fewer people, and exactly 0 cities. Sure, humans will survive, but civilisation as we know it certainly won't. It's a lot easier for nomadic folks to just move than it is for modern humans to relocate their stubborn infrastructure. I don't know how you can seriously compare 2011 with 12-14,000 years ago.
As they were selling the songs, as opposed to merely collecting them, they were engaged in criminal copyright infringement for commercial purposes, which in the US carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years (for the sheer number of unlicensed units sold). Read more about it here. These folks should be looking at jail time, not merely being forced to purchase what they originally should have.

Average download speed is a terrible metric, as it only takes a few well-connected metropolitan areas to skew the bigger picture.
No it doesn't.
Read the Al Qaeda manifesto, then read your post, then realise how dumb you sound. Seriously. It's embarrassing.
It didn't stop them doing that in Iraq...

You should read more about the subject, and then you'd realise it isn't.
Taxation is a form of theft in exactly the same way as paying for goods is.

I think you're confusing "health & safety" with "common sense" :)

Look up "proxy data".
Curiously? Not at all. Global climate != weather in SoCal.
We have more information than just manual record keeping. Far more. Orders of magnitude more. Clearly you're new to this.

You might want to read what "proxy data" means before posting again.
You only have to pay if you are charging for your h.264 content.
Or glue a Rottweiler to the case.
If this happened in the US. Which it didn't. So ignore my rant. Sorry. I won't do it again. Today.

I doubt they'd ever, ever, ever let anyone know. That's bad for business.
Any armed merchant vessel isn't allowed through the Suez canal, so it's a major issue for shipping lines.
Or 3) very few people feel the need to attack someone else, because they're happy enough with their own lives for that to not be a problem.
