    If there was a sign on the bike that said 'free bike: Take me' or the $20 note had a post-it attached saying 'free money, keep me' then yes I would have no trouble in taking it.

    Just as I would see a difference between finding a book and finding a book saying 'Free Book'. If I was on my university campus and saw an unlabeled book left on a bench I would take it to lost property. If I saw a book saying 'free book', I might take it if it looked like it might be good.

    The cage around the cake is not important, the sign is the important part. If I came upon a cake with a sign saying 'Anyone may eat this cake' or with a button saying press here if you wish to eat this cake, and pressing the button gave the message 'You may eat this cake, here is your cake eating number' then I would feel it is ok for me to eat the cake. If the sign said 'Only Bob McMonkey may eat this cake' or a button to press which then asked 'are you Bob Mcmonkey?' y/n, it would be clear that taking the cake and eating it would be wrong, and telling the sign that I was Bob McMonkey would be wrong too, even though it would be easy to do.

    You can't steal something that is given to you. If a router gives me bandwidth for free, and the owner runs out of his allowance, well he shouldn't have given it all away should he?

    I have a limited supply of cakes, if I put up a sign saying free cake, then I get home and find there is no cake left for me, I can't cry that they all stole the cake. I foolishly gave away my cake. If the sign reads 'Private cake: only for eating by Oktober and his housemates' and it is locked inside a cage, then that would be a different situation. Claiming I didn't know how to configure my cake sign and I just left it with the default 'free cake' message makes no difference,

    Printers are evil demons sent from another realm to taunt us.

    Umm, the worst that could happen is being shot dead.

    Tho being beaten with battons, kicked, dragged through the streets by your legs, trampled by horses, tasers, tear gassed, shot in the face with rubber bullets and thrown into a paddywagon all present themselves as opportunities.

    They started the Asian portion of WW2 because they invaded China, who then became allied to Russia, while Japan allied with Germany and Italy as they both saw communist Russia and partialy communist China as their main enemies.

    Your perspective is overly yank-o-centric, the war started when they attacked China, not when they attacked Britain, Australia, the Dutch East Indies or the USA.

    At most you can say that Japan's war on China and Germany and Italy's war on France, Britain and their allies were separate wars at the beginning, but the point at which they become one war would be when Germany invaded the USSR, leading to Russia allying with Britain making it the link between the war in China and in Europe.
