"If some stupid old lady spills lukewarm coffee into her lap, she should NOT get a billion dollars in damages."
Third degree burns on 6% of her body, lesser burns on a further 16% of her body (that is almost a quarter of her body burned), 8 days in hospital, a skin graft and 2 years of further medical care is far from frivolous. I'd argue that any beverage that has the potential to cause injuries serious enough to require a skin graft is slightly beyond "lukewarm".
No faith required. You can go back and do the experiments/research published in journals yourself if you are so inclined and have the resources to do it. The same cannot be said for religious faith.
If a non-Australian asks me where I live I will say Sydney. If I am referring to Sydney it could also mean just "The City" or "The CBD", or the entire metropolitan area. If I wanted to makes sure someone knew I meant the whole of the Sydney Metropolitan Area, I would say "Sydney Metropolitan Area". I might even reply with the name of the suburb I live in if I wanted to be more specific, or even the area "The Northern Beaches" if I wanted to be less specific about where I lived, but more specific than, say, just "Sydney". However, "I live in Sydney" is a factually correct statement. In fact my postal address does not even include "Sydney" in it.
When I was in Vietnam, everyone referred to the biggest city there as Saigon.
I suppose we do have a choice, but then you are posting on slashdot and so it is fair to assume that you are not exactly is a rush to start living at one with the environment, like, forex, the bushmen of the Kalahari.
"No more shelling out $20 million to a single actor, but since apparently THAT is what draws in the crowds to begin with, it might be a worthwhile expense."
Maybe the actors will have to lower their expectations. They can say "I want $20 million" as much as they want, but if the market cannot stand it, they cannot be paid it.

Fixed that for you.
The error could just be spitting out the value of a variable and only useful for diagnosis if you know of the context in which the error occurred.
"and laziness it is, if they really cared about their kids they would put in the effort to learn or pay someone else to do it and not expect everyone else to pay for your convenience
If parents are too lazy to learn how the internet works (and laziness it is, if they really cared about their kids they would put in the effort to learn) and still want a computer there is still no reason to inhibit the internet usage of everyone.
IOW, the filter should be opt-out. This has been the argument all along.

Potentially, yes.

Forgot:
