No, the law says that stealing is taking someone else property with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it. Until that changes, the law will never see piracy as stealing. You might be stealing their revenue; but you aren't stealing the music. What you're actually doing when you copy music without the permission of the copyright holder is infringing the copyright. Really, you'd have to be retarded to honestly maintain the stance that piracy is stealing. And if you're not being honest why would people feel morally inclined to respect your copyrights?

When it was slow on 2fort you could try and work out which corridor to the flag room the enemy scout would try next, and place your dispenser accordingly. I once got a scout six times in a row. He gave up after that. I even asked if he'd like to visit again. But he'd developed such a fear of my dispenser that claiming I'd filled it with chocolate bars didn't help.
I spent way too much time in the basement of 2fort. Still there's nothing like hearing "he's gone down the spiral" on com and lobbing a primed EMP grenade around that first corner. Except, perhaps, watching scout parts fly back out of a corridor after a close encounter with a dispenser.
Floor 1 (center point): You float around for a bit next to the elevator before getting bored and climbing back in.
You say that like it's a bad thing. The "floating around" or falling, as it's also known, is the best bit! Plus you'll never reach the ground and don't have to ride the elevator back to the top for another jump.

The deci in decimate means tenth (from decimus). If you decimate a country it doesn't necessarily mean you've killed a tenth. But if you literally decimate a country it does mean you've killed a tenth of the population. See the difference?
Two nukes, well placed, could take out 18 million people. There are 295 million people in the US. That would be 16.39% of the US population. That is literally decimation. That is 50% more than decimation.

Well that's just silly... why believe anything that you can prove wrong.

Science is humanity blindly stumbling forward through a dark room trying to locate the coffe-table with it's shins. Wouldn't it just be easier to turn on the light?
If there was a light, science would turn it on and look. Subjects of faith, by comparison, preclude illumination.

Level 20 is definitely not the end of the game. You'll find that level 20 might actually be the best level as far as gameplay goes. All the skills have been carefully balanced for PvP at level 20. As a result the later levels are mostly beaten with a degree of skill (and sometimes simple determination); you no longer have the option of leveling up and beating the monsters with a more powerful character and no weapon or skill is overpowered. Having said that, you might find that your biggest problem is finding other players that have some skill. While you're leveling you might also want to look for a good guild and populate your friends list with good players.
I found the same thing. Unfortunately I had to take the sound card out because of incompatibilities with games. So I went from a 7.1 sound card back to the onboard 5.1 motherboard chipset which was far more friendly with games like Doom 3.
The noise can be minimised by always turning the volumes in software to 100% and relying solely on your speaker knob for your actual volume. Not that you have that problem anymore but I thought I'd share it in case anyone else is having similar problems.
The current theory implies that the universe is not deterministic. You say the belief in non-determinism is highly likely to be wrong (You actually say any philosophy so I'm just picking a specific case here). Doesn't this imply the belief in determinism is highly likely to be right? But you also say that belief in determinism is wrong. How can you possibly say both without contradicting yourself?
But what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage.
Which explains why most scientific papers are wrong.
As a web designer, I don't run HTML here. It's actually quite nice. Since the Flash plug-in is in use by the vast majority of web designers that don't understand HTML or CSS. It makes my life SO much easier. I don't have to be bothered by annoying backseat designers like W3C.
IF someone is stupid enough to remove an important part of the internet's functionality and require people to install proprietary applications so that their websites are usable, then that's their problem. I personally design for people like that.
Uninstalling Flash just reveals websites that either don't work without multimedia or aren't well designed. Flash isn't that important. Slashdot, for example, isn't any the worse for not using it.

I'm guessing one of the missing scenes doesn't have Jar Jar Binks being Force-choked by Death Vader then.
There's only one major problem with this idea: They'd have to move to Canada.
Arrrrrr! 'Tis true. I was using piracy in the same sense as the parent. That is; incorrectly.

I backed up my sense of humor using the same system you insensitive clod.
Here are the murder statistics from 2000.
United States 4 per 100000 peopleAustralia 1 per 100000 people
United Kingdom 1 per 100000 people
Japan 0 per 100000 people
It's interesting to compare them with the gun-related deaths above.
United States 14 (per 100000 people)Australia 3 (per 100000 people)
United Kingdom 0 per 100000 people
Japan 0 per 100000 people
Murder statistics are similar in the UK and Australia but Australia has many more gun-related deaths.

True, but I suspect the links were there to shock and turn customers away from Fuddruckers and not to inform.
