Let's assume that some of the fish are small because they're genetically predisposed to being small, and others are small because they haven't gotten big yet.
Let's also assume that human predation is only eliminating the big fish.
So human predation eliminates 0% of the fish predisposed towards smallness, and X% of the fish predisposed towards largeness. End result is evolutionary pressure toward being smaller. It's not absolute, but it does favor the smaller fish.
That's as dumb as saying "there is ZERO link between lost revenue and car theft because they are from people that would never have done business in the first place."
When a product is stolen, there is value taken from the owner that can't be recovered. Whether it was stolen from someone that would or would not have been a customer is irrelevant.
Your second sentence there points out the problems in your first.
If I steal your car, you can't sell that car. If I copy your music, you can still sell that music.
It has nothing to do with crying "the Gaul have weapons of mass destruction", and everything to do with your allies being actually attacked first. Big difference.
Also worth noting that justifying wars beyond "because we can and you can't stop us" is actually a rather recent thing.
You can screw up any study if you deliberately skew your sample. But good luck *randomly* finding 97 people who... do what you wrote... and ONLY those people.
With or without the electoral college, the common man decides who should lead the US. All that would change is *which* group of common men get the decision.

Are they using the term 'evolution' the wrong way?"
If being smaller enables the fish to survive long enough to breed, then no. Big fish die off, small fish breed.
It's easy to behave ethically when your ass isn't on the line.
There's nothing special about the foreigners. We can make more.
Well, not exactly. THEY can make more. If we make them, they're not foreigners.
As I understood the summary, notification was added as a necessary precursor to actually suing, not as a replacement for anything.
Quit trying to pretend that there's stuff outside of the US.

Fantastic game, but since I've yet to encounter anything like it since, decidedly not influential.

No...
The bizarre part is that I read Wall-Wart, and noticed the double l and not the W.
Bizarrely enough, the first thought in my head was "Wal-Mart only has one ell"

Indeed. Especially Americans.
While in general American-bashing irritates me, I have to concede this one. Sigh.
Perhaps the poster has access to a time machine that could transport the entire Earth.
That is correct, and, unfortunately, damn near impossible to pull off in aggregate.
If you're going to do that, you have an obligation to missspell something.
That second link doesn't quite fit with the rest. Tied a 2nd grader to a desk? Lawsuit sounds justified on that one.

Figured that out on your own, did you?

If Wyoming's votes could make or break the election, you're already in recount territory.
Butt pain.
This in response to a question that could be summarized as "Where can I learn more about security or find someone to teach me at a decent rate?"

The uprising wasn't really a man vs machine conflict in any way that even vaguely resembled the other two.
FH's "thinking machines" weren't of the try to kill us all variety though.
