You know, I'm fairly sure that Matt Stone and Trey Parker alluded to invoking the Streisand Effect in the episode; the celebrities activated Barbra Streisand closer to the end.
Well, it's not even that they're in the majority; it's that they tend to be the ones wielding the most (or at least large portions of) power in the portions of the Muslim world we hear about on the news. Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan are king for the news; they just don't mention Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Syria, Yemen, Oman, Malaysia or Indonesia often because there's typically nothing particularly interesting happening in most of those places.
Given that not only the already-failing airlines are losing money, but fast commerce is not really as viable, yes, it is a big deal. By fast commerce, I mean everything FedEx or DHL is needed for and more, such as fresh fish shipments.

Yes.
Then I wondered how they have so many letters for 3 syllables.
Oh, so now ICAO is going to profit from a study being done? Maybe they're just going to get some sort of assurance that it's safe to have molten obsidian chillin' in the jet engines of airlines, and can use that against them if they end up killing people for the sake of profit.
Maybe we can't do better because the design of a jet engine is to suck in as much air as possible with tiny blades, compress it, then spit it out at an extremely high temperature that happens to remelt ash?
Well, creating furniture with an axe seems like they're using a crude tool to make a potentially elegant solution to a problem. The modern seems to just be generalized from the older definition.
Also it is important to note that the majority of the open-source community is contributed by hobbyists, hobbyists do not care about market share.
My point in that regard was that Linux serves its own market, then the fanboybase complains that "ZOMG teh sheeplez don't use our superior OS and choose the easier M$ Windoze instead!". It's the elitism without seeing the other perspectives, like the guy above suggesting everyone "just script it out", that makes me cringe when it comes to these discussions.
"Yeah, fuck those end users! We'll make it a bitch and a half to use our product even though the fixes are simple!"
Honestly now, I'm talking about home users, the other people who use firewalls, even though they don't know it. Make it a standard on routers where on the router's config page, it can accept a small text file with ports to be routed to the current connection. Even better, have the program send that information when the game starts, and have the ports un-routed when the game ends. It's a relatively simple, easy fix for the headache that is "finding out the proper ports for XBox Live to work" and entering them manually.
I know how to do it, but let me tell you, I don't know many other people that can install a router to begin with, let alone get their port forwarding to work for Gears of War; and they don't care to learn. Ease of use and the user interfaces on routers haven't improved one bit for consumers from the Belkin I had in 2002; why the should a market completely stagnate in user friendliness for that long?
Oh, that's right. It's because every *nix head doesn't think about the real end user, just what's "most powerful" in terms of features. Design solely for the power users and administrators, and you miss 95% of the market - what Linux has excelled at for many, many years.
You have a great point about "networking in the home being simple". Now let me remind you:
There's problems connecting to nearly every game server through a router when a non-technical person is doing the connecting, because there's no standard way for the creators of the games to open up the correct ports; this is a simple thing the question asks, yet is still completely unaddressed by the guys making home routers. They could easily come up with a method to accept a small text file with the proper information for the game's connections, but they aren't innovating the user experience whatsoever.
I love how you *nix guys don't ever take end users into consideration. You think "Oh, just learn how to script the stuff together with some shell and you'll be good!".
All the while, the end users are saying "We don't care about having to learn to write a script; just include one with your damned program, and have a standard that routers can accept this file and it will just work and be simple."

If MS decided to end Bing, western users would have exactly one search engine - Google.
First, as others have pointed out, bullshit
Second, you just showed there's at least a duopoly and not a monopoly with that quote.
I imagine you propose the fraudsters taking your charitable church contributions and the fraudsters promoting the Republican party are exempt?
Yes, any given porn app is automatically going to crash the phone.
Seriously, having used the iPhone, the thing crashes from apps they currently have on their store.

Why haven't we read more about them in the media?
They were caught and are waiting for their trial. I'm pretty sure the media machine will get back to it at that point.

Yes, let's replace the fast and small quantity transportation of airplanes with the slow and large quantity transportation that is a boat.
we have avoided something like the 1783 eruption that lasted for two years
Who said it was over? Earlier today, it was beginning to ramp up on the ash spewing again.
I'm fairly sure airplane producers would use it as a selling point just as well as engine designers.

Grocery stores would problem enjoy a pretty hefty profit
All that spoiled food costs the store nothing, I agree.
The free market system did work it out. They worked out who would have each monopoly in each area.
We also need to queue the definition nazis.

How is it insane if you require that it comes from a wired, internal connection from the unit...?

Oh, btw, it was deprecated in OpenGL 3.0 - 13 years off from being accurate.
Function calls which have been deprecated in OpenGL since version 2, that was 15 years ago!
Unless I'm missing something, or you're living in 2020, OpenGL version 2 was released in 2005, and you're 10 years off.
Good. Let them put up a farce about a major facet of the image they project to the outside world. The Soviets did that, and look where they wound up.
