I'd say that if the ticket explicitly stated "Bring all the baggage you can think of!" the bus company would have made provisions to cope. Airlines etc all place baggage limits and state them for these reasons, and charge for excess. They don't advertise "unlimited" baggage allotment then cancel service to someone showing up with a lot of bags.
Ah, an Troy ounce weight system joke... I always figured that was a way of ripping people off - "Hey this pound only weighs 12 oz!" "er... yeah.... that's because gold is 12 oz to the pound... right..."
Ah, a rude reply from an AC... fantastic. The differences between a complex system of a human being, and the number that makes up a digital file are vast. All I'm talking about is a number here and the fact that it is now illegal to tell someone that number.
But hey, why bother, you don't even have the balls to post your insult from a real account.
Interesting - they just go on the name of the file when they go for kazaa/limewire users right? This would hand a defense everything they need:
"So, your evidence is that my client had a file called 'x.mp3' for download. Your website has a file called 'y.mp3' for download. Are you distributing content illegally too?"
"No, you have to check what's in the... d'oh!"
On a side note, I've always thought the filesharing thing to be ridiculous for a different reason. All digital files are essentially numbers. Sure, they're big numbers, but that's all they are. Since when was it illegal to tell someone a number? What numbers are now illegal? Since every conceivable sequence of numbers (integers) exists within Pi somewhere, it would mean that Pi was illegal too...
If your credit card gets ripped off you might lose some time and even some money sorting things out with Visa and your bank. If your democracy gets ripped off...
Elections should be much more secure than money transactions.
As a european, I've got to disagree with this. Sure, the beer they export (Bud, coors, etc) is drivel. Absolute undrinkable mud-water. But some of the micro-brews are actually quite nice, and they're gaining in popularity. The next city over from me has a couple of breweries that only serve locally, and I'm glad as hell no-one outside knows about them yet so we can keep all the good stuff to ourselves.
For a comparison, think about the wine you could get in France in the 70s-80s, then the stuff they exported to Britain...
Ah, I see I've effectively reproduced your point - sorry about that! I believe that overall it would be an efficient thing to do - from the figures I remember about 4% of Medicare is overhead (administration etc) and for private health companies it's closer to 50% (advertising, legal etc etc).
Now compare those figures to your healthcare deductable (and that of your employer) to see if money is saved overall. I know in my case about 20% of my total paycheck goes to healthcare - so for me it would be a great saving.
Ah, goddamn it, somehow the less than sign got filtered and I missed it on preview. Let's try again: x < 3 - you don't know x but you know it's not 25, that's what I meant. Thanks for pointing it out.
Yes, we don't know what will happen. But we have a pretty good idea - in fact a few of them, hence the need for an experiment to distinguish between them. However, we do know that there won't be a 'doomsday' event.
It's as simple as this: x3. You don't know x, but you know it's not 25.
The idea that we have to be 'surrounded by uncertainty and doubt' is dubious at best. We really want to have one or two unknown things and find them. Having uncertainty in many variables is terrible, as your experiment probably won't determine all of them.
Physicists have models for what will happen, and this will be very good at distinguishing between the models we have. Maybe it'll prove them all wrong, but what the lawsuit is demanding is that we don't drop a ball from 3m up after 1m and 2m in case it turns into a sheep on the way down.
I believe you're referring to the 4 colour map problem - that it is possible to colour any 'map' (read 2d plane) with 4 colours such that no two adjacent shapes had the same colour.
Er no. I and others have proven you wrong EVERYWHERE there is here, and you've got nothing. You haven't refuted anything I've said, rather you've actually confirmed it. When you don't have a refutation, you resort to insults. It's pathetic, and I pity you.
Hey, it's not my fault your parents generation didn't pay for you to go to a good school, but I do feel sorry for you.
Nope, that's pretty much it - if we complain about this we're whiners because we don't want to be lynched. Your own words. Nice knowing that you're a moron.
You have no argument. You have no point. You're just repeating the same tired insults, nothing new, and you've been shown to be wrong by myself and others.
Come back (or come find me, like you said you would) when you have a point worth making.
Somewhat, but the parallel conjecture that went all the way back to Euclid couldn't be proven, even though it seemed largely true. Eventually Riemannian geometry arose as something that broke this well established conjecture. Often, yes, it's useful to assume conjectures, but don't underestimate the value of a proof, or even the value of failed proofs.
Of course you're right. No one should ever complain. We should just take it up the ass like you want us to. How dare we be so uppity as to demand our rights and complain when they're denied to us. How terrible.
Get a brain implant. No-one ever got what they wanted by sitting quietly and not complaining. Even Ghandi complained.
"If you want what they had, "No more, no less." then you're going to get lynchings. Please give me your address so I can come over and give you what you want."
OK, tough guy. 19 Winchester Rd, Oxford, UK. See you whenever you like. Seriously, do you have trouble tying your shoe laces? You might need to do that before you come over.
Haha, rights can't be taken away. OK Mr semantics, how's your right to a fair trial going if you're in GTMO? How's your right to bear arms going if I take your gun away. Rights can't be taken away. Thanks, haven't laughed this much in weeks.
Oh, here you are again, internet tough guy, hacking at the ACs. You go girl. This guy has a point - it was considered a right in the UK. Now that right has been taken away. And you have no argument. Again.

Unless B is vertically above A, the answer shouldn't be g*d*m - work done is Fparallel*distance.

Yep, and I'd love an olympic 100m sprinter's job where you work for 10 seconds every four years.

The post he replied to directly quoted it as being from Churchill.
... "democracy is the worst form of government."'
'Also from old Winston
Which he then corrected with the remainder.
Well, the main thing they hit you for is uploading (which happens in Kazaa, bittorrent etc) - downloading I think tends to be a grey area.
Somehow throttling may be taken to be counter to a "Best effort" - your best effort includes actively ensuring that I can't get that value 24/7?

Or they've seen us and aren't interested. Or they don't want to talk. Or they're COMING!

Ah, no follow through. Just like I thought. I believe I just proved you the liar - you said you'd come, now you won't? Nice one tough guy.
