Umm, no. The zoo, at best, has you arrested for trespassing. Which, I could very well be wrong, but I *think* publicly available urls fall under the "not trespassing" category legally.
I don't know where you live, but my local school district is hard-pressed enough for money that 0.003% (if it's even that low) is unacceptable to give up. That same money is *needed* elsewhere.
We're not saying that you having not seen it is a problem. It's the part where you try to say that nobody's mentioned it when it was front page news yesterday where we run into trouble.
A careful reading of the post you quoted specifies "the security". The definite article here implies that the GP is referring solely to the American airport security only, which is indeed the ever-popular bad security you refer to.

Less than standard disclaimer: After writing this, I realized that the lack of a method of conveying tone over the internet may lead to somebody assuming a defensiveness here. In my head, this came out as calm and explanatory, like two reasonable people sitting down and talking, and that's how I want it to be read.
I have a friend who took a year off between high school and college and walked the Appalachian Trail. He has some of the most amazing pictures and he's incredibly proud of this accomplishment. I admire that he did something he could be so proud of. Good for him. I don't want any of it.
I've been hiking. I'm not a fan of it. My life could not possibly be any more full if I were to spend my time walking the Appalachian or doing any of the things you list near the end, because they simply don't mean much to me. They might be fun, I might do some of them some day, but they aren't a measure of fullness to me. What I think is a measure of how full my life is is the people in it and the time I spend with them. That might be time spent gaming (if I were into WoW, that might be time spent pwning n00bs in Tauren Mill, whatever that is), that might be time spent just sitting under the stars, or a variety of other things. Maybe it doesn't mean anything to you, but it means everything to me, and it's not your place to judge based off of the fact that some one does or does not play games in their spare time.

I have a friend who plays WoW. He tends to be the group leader when he participates in raids and instances (no, I also don't know what either of those refer to in the context of WoW, I just know that they involve groups and he leads the groups). Talking to him, I find that he has learned a lot about leadership by playing WoW and, IMO, that knowledge is far more important than physical endurance or seeing new things in the world.
I read the whole comment, thank you very much. My laptop bag definitely does not fit under "small backpack", even though the bag causes no inconvenience to any but me.
Yeah, we did without carry-ons before, but now we live with new technologies (like the aforementioned laptops) and with people who feel uncomfortable checking luggage (with good reason). They have size restrictions on carry-ons as is, they should be sufficient.
No, I'm sorry. There is *no* way I'm letting the baggage handlers touch my laptop. Hell, there's no way I'm letting my laptop out of my sight when I'm travelling.
NOTE: You might notice me as one of (read: the first and only for a while) people arguing for keep on the AfD, so my bias should be incredibly apparent.
Another analogy no one pointed out is that when scientific results are posted on Wikipedia, is it "acceptable" to post along with them the raw data from the respective research journals (ignoring copyright for a moment)? Is this a valid analogy, and if not, why not? In a sense, that data is "proof" of the "correctness" of those scientific results.
This isn't a valid analogy. For one, as someone mentioned in a sibling, the proof explains the theorem in math, but in science the results explain the data.
Further, and the better argument, IMO, is to look at mathematical and scientific papers. The mathematical papers include proofs, the scientific papers don't include raw data. Thus, the analogy falls apart.
I know that local time will run the same within your own inertial frame, but you have other problems to worry about. Specifically, how do you measure the distance from point A to point B? It's a fairly difficult operation while moving, I'd think. You could just take the distance between A and B in A & B's rest frame and do a distance contraction, but that requires knowing the velocity relative to A & B to begin with.
Now, I'm not attempting to claim that there is no way to find the velocity (relative to whatever) inside the ship's point of view, I just don't happen to know how to do it and I *do* happen to know how to do it from A & B's rest frame.
It's not very difficult at all. The big issue is in how you take the measurement, so we'll discuss that first.
We'll require two clocks, a known difference apart, synchronized in their rest frame. When the moving thing passes the first clock, note the time. When it passes the second, note the time. The distance divided by the difference of the times is the velocity of the object relative to that rest frame. Incidentally, it's also the velocity of that frame relative to the rest frame of the moving thing.
The important thing is that time may be different between two rest frames, but it is also the same within the same inertial frame, so things like velocity still work out.
You're not being pedantic enough. If one travels faster than c, one goes backwards in time. If one travels at c, time is constant in that reference frame while time passes in other frames. If one travels less than c, time dilation occurs.
My point? While you are correct in pointing out that any travel will cause effects, but significant effects are observed only for a significant fraction of the speed of light, you didn't mention that the original poster was even more wrong than you said since faster than light speeds cause time to reverse, not to go slower (though, obviously, your velocity at that point also changes how quickly time reverses).
Re:That was never "obvious".

I find that hard to believe given that the Bible also states the world to be round. Maybe you're thinking about heliocentricity?
Oops, I forgot the important class of "non-copyrightable works" that still qualifies (things like lists of numbers and whatnot). But the post still stands.
In today's America, the two are one and the same (excluding, of course, things that have never been expressed). Even outside of today's America, public domain is a subset of non-copyrighted.
The only works that so qualify are works of the US government, works explicitly placed in the public domain, and works on which the copyright has expired. I doubt that he was talking about anything in any of those classes.
I've had fairly sizable collections of public domain works of various sorts (old texts, public domain images, etc), so it's not unheard of. More importantly, I was responding to the questioning of what was on the CD, but to the statement that everything is copyrighted, which is clearly false.
No it doesn't. Works in the public domain "belong" to no one.
Public domain works are part of cultural heritage and thus belong to the people, even though nobody has a legal claim of ownership.

I don't disagree with the pointlessness. I disagree with the part wherein it was stated that you can't do it.

Brown? BROWN? When did Smith ever where a brown suit? He had a dark green suit and a black suit, but no brown suit.
Also, they have smallish droppings....

Congratulations, you have restated the original joke (GGP, I think, but I'm too lazy to check).
And I'd argue that the plot isn't really raw data and that there'd be a strong argument for including plots in articles about scientific theories.
Further, and the better argument, IMO, is to look at mathematical and scientific papers. The mathematical papers include proofs, the scientific papers don't include raw data. Thus, the analogy falls apart.
