Well, it happens every day. Big ass fusion reractor a couple of million miles that direction (points at sun)evaporates sea water. Water vapor rises and is spread around the world until conditions cause it to condense and precipitate out of the atmosphere. We throw a little bit of sodium hypochlorate, or other sanitizing agent in it, at least around where I live, and drink it. Yum.
Not really. That has nothing to do with extorting money from someone that their customer has an relationship with. Just because they don't promise to give me more than my max, or even that max all the time doesn't mean they have a right to extort the people and businesses that I have relationships with.
Those are some nice bits that you're sending to my customer. It'd be a shame if some of them, say, dropped on the floor. oops. look at that. I own such clumsy routers. You know, if you were to pay me a small fee, I could make sure that doaesn't happen again.
Besides, the comm companies aren't talking about simple volumes, they are talking about latency also. Your only moving a few k an hour, but since your vendor hasn't greased our palm you get to go across the 100% saturated pipe that has the 2200ms round trip hop time rather than the 13ms RT hop time pipe. No, we DON'T care that you are paying us for service, you should make you cheapskate content providers cough up some cash if you want better service.
Hmmm. OK. Lets work with the water metaphor. This is like me contracting with a pipeline company to deliver 600 gallons an hour of water and remove 75 gallons an hour of waste water from my residence. When I turn on my tap I find I'm only getting 10 galons an hour in and out. I call up the pipeline company and discover that even though I have paid to have a particular volume delivered and that my water comapany has paid the fee to connect to the pipeline, they haven't paid the pipeline comapny to be allowed to deliver my water at the rate that I have contraced with the pipeline company as my maximum delivery rate.
Yes. A resource they have already collected a usage fee from their customers for. Boy, I guess double dipping is the new model of corporate rationalism.
That old stuff? It's the direct neural induction full emersion sensovision MMORPGs that are causing children to disrespect their elders and fail to do as they're told like the good little automotons we were when we were kids...
Why I remember when I had to notch BOTH sides of the floppy disk, up hill, both ways, just to load *,8,1 and I was thankful just to be able to do that.
Just a quick follow up. You make the statement that "You're paying for unlimited access across a period of time." except that if you can not play when you wish to it is not "unlimited access" If you want to do something else at a given time, then it doesn't matter that WoW is unavailable during that time, but if you do wish to play WoW then it does matter.
I don't believe the schools are wanting the students to have laptops so much for the task of taking notes, but so that the schools cand distribute class materials electronically rather than on paper. Your books, "handouts" and assignments will be in electronic formats.
Yes. You can waste a few hours playing Civ IV. Great game, but you're still paying for WoW while playing Civ only because you can't play WoW when you wish to.
Well, the problem with your logic is that most people only want to listen to a limited quantity of songs. Why in the world should I pay for access to say, 22,000, songs when there are only 2000 I give a shit about? Why at the $15 monthly fee Napster charges in thirteen years I could own them all. That's quite a few years, but I expect to live about another 40, so it is much cheaper over my life to buy the ones I wish to listen to. If I am a total music nut, I bet I could still get most of what I want to listen to with the $7200 it would cost me for Napster the rest of my life.
Well, the odds of it hitting anything are astronomically small, but if it did, the odds are just as high for it to be some piece of military hardware that is not in a standard orbit as it is for anything else. Once again, a polar orbit wouldn't be reciprocal, but the collision would be significantly larger than your OP suggested. The military does put things in odd orbits. So do scientists occasionally. Oh, and why, if almost no one uses these odd orbits do they have to replace windows and tiles on the orbiter occasionally because paint chips moving at 30-40k MPH make divots in the quartz?
And the joy of an almost reciprochal orbit would be spectacular. I wonder how many pounds/tons of TNT would be equivilent to a golf ball at 46,000 MPH. Been way too long since high school physics class to do that one without some Google time.
Boy, you have no idea how orbits work do you? Simple physics example here. Lets say the cosmonaut is orbiting at X mph. When he hits the ball it will take off in a different direction lets call that Y which is the added vectors of his original orbit and the impulse he just gave the ball. Now Y is moving several thousand miles an hour else it would simply fall to the earth. Now lets say Someone puts a satilite into orbit. It is also moving at several thousand miles an hour, but it's on a reciprocal orbit of the golf ball. Now lets add the vectors. Several thousand MPH plus several thousand MPH makes a velocity that is REALLY big. Now, would you like to guess at the energy transfer of a collision at those speeds?

Ummm. It's a diminuative of forward which was in common use in Scottland. It is used to mean "Look out if you're in front of me!" since that is the assumed trajectory of the ball. Obviously those ancient Scotts didn't recon on my slice.
Once again, DUMB law. Work to change it, don't ignore it. The legal ability to use jury nullification is not moral justification. It is an abdication of your rights and obligations as a voter. Who in the world do you think elects the people who create the bills and pass the laws? We do. Us, the citizens. If we elect morons, we get what we deserve.
My biggest question to lawmakers is why, just because we elected them, they think they HAVE to make new laws?

Even if it's legal it's still extortive.

No, he said that the bill by Sen. Ensign had the backing of 16 Republicans. That's a different bill.

Yeah. I agree with this guy. Video games are the cure for diptheria. Send your old gameboys to Africa and save a life.
Oh, and no, you can't have my lion repelling rock. How would I keep the lions from eating me, here in the central U.S.A, without it!
p.s. Make sure you send extra batteries. They will need them to ward off the Tse Tse Flies too. Talk about Doctor Mario!
Probably Grenada. One of those morons the Marines had to rescue in the 80's.
I think in this case your sig should say "Those who can, do. Those who can't get their students to find spam zombies for them." ;)

No, they could face arrest on federal charges, in the U.S., for failure to follow the directions of a flight crew in the execution of their duties.
Actually one of the main reasons cell towers are so close is thet each tower has a limited number of concurrent calls they can handle.
The reasons against are
1. They might piss off some people they don't care about
Ah, like their customers?

Thanks. It's been about 30 years since I played with one, and my memory was less than reliable on that point.
I thought Magic 8 Balls used a dodecahedron.

Well, don't live in D.C. or a teritory then. ;) Once again, if the laws are unjust work to correct them.
