No, then you have the minor inconvenience to the 1 in 40 of having to show their license and take 2 minutes out of their day, rather than let the 39 of 40 go scott free.
Guh, you're a tard. The reason people texting and talking on the cell phone while driving is dangerous isn't because of one hand being off the wheel. It's because of your eyes and your mind not paying attention to the road.
I'd venture and say yes it does WHOOSH, but nobody hears it. Unfortunately, I can't confirm that result as there was no observer attuned to the frequency of WHOOSH...
No. You're failing to see that the Church system may be using knowledge about other birds, such as an ostrich, a emu, a eagle, and a hawk, to come up with a guess as to the ability of a cassowary to fly.
This isn't an argument about ideas, or intellectual property. This is an argument about copyright. This is an argument about the rights to a recording performed by X artist or produced by Y director and Z crew. You didn't play the music, you didn't write the music, you didn't record the music, so who the hell are you to say "this shit is mine regardless as to what the people who created this recording want" when you had no part in creating it?
You're the fanatic for mentioning that I wish for free speech rights to be blocked the world over. I never said such a thing! I just said you really don't have the right to copy it; never did I say "I think the RIAA should search every computer every 6 months to ensure everyone who violated their copyrights gets caught." I think that hugely flawed way of conducting investigations is even worse than you assholes stealing shit, so if you've read any of my posts on here, you'd know I'm actually on your damn side when it comes to their extremely inaccurate methods!
But don't get my disapproval of their methods twisted with a sense of me agreeing with you that there's no harm being done by this; I'm choosing the lesser of 2 evils, because neither side in this is totally righteous.
The copyright holder says "I want x for this content, and I'm not offering it for free to anyone". You go "fuck you, it's mine anyway". You're getting paid content for free.
The right hands exist. They're the ones that don't use the power in the wrong way; nothing more. Every president since FDR has had the absurdly evil power to destroy the entire world many times over with nuclear bombs; none has used it, therefore that power was in the right hands.
You're getting paid content for free; don't argue that point. The difference between shoplifting and illegal downloads is that the seller doesn't lose the opportunity to sell the content as would happen if you shoplifted a CD. The penalty should reflect this, but don't get it twisted and think you deserve the content.
for every driver like you who actually wants to be courteous and get over, there's 50 drivers who are self-righteous assholes and think they're entitled to the left lane.
There's also 50 assholes who decide they can get up right behind me, merge right, move a car length up, and cut left again.
Though I certainly think that the ACTA treaty does not qualify, can you not imagine any instances where it might be necessary for a government to debate something in secret?
Good thing ACTA has nothing to do with any nation's military operations or classified military projects, otherwise you might have had a good point.
Good thing that public libraries provide computers in most, if not all, parts of the U.S. Otherwise, I might say that there's a whole bunch of disenfranchised people in inner cities who can't afford internet access.
Oh, wait. Those internet-enabled computer in the libraries that anyone can use? They're very much a suburban thing in the quantity needed to serve the community.
You may wish to consider that there were stories of leaked documents from Toyota that implied a cover up about the problems. I heard it on CNN about a week or two ago, and don't have a link, so take it with your grain of salt, but consider that Toyota does have a vested interest in proving every case to be driver error or fraud.
I was under the impression that gamma rays were much (orders of magnitude) less likely to have an effect on electronics as their wavelength was so much higher, but if they did, it would be (basically) a more drastic impact, because of the higher energy.
I imagine he means that "health care is saving the lives of future American citizens and is thus national defense." I don't agree with that sentiment, but that's what I got from it.
I think the point was that they couldn't get into the field initially because they couldn't build circuits easily themselves. I have no doubt that using CAD to produce a design requires no resistor-reading, but the way the subject matter is taught does.

If laws shut down businesses that were operating fine before, that's a bad thing for the economy.
Not if shutting down those businesses spurs the creation of new businesses using new technology to do the same job more efficiently than before.

He will, however, do whatever you ask if you're increasing the size of his country's treasury....

No, it's giving the president the power to yank the plug from the linksys router, intending to not plug it back in after 10 seconds.

More accurately, gonorrhea doesn't have the proper stats to beat the mommamonster on level 1.
That's not a cure, it's a prevention mechanism.

Guh.....what? I'm dumbfounded by this.
Libraries provide the internet. Have you been to one lately? They've been adding computers for people from the community to use for free.

It's actually more like the radio turns off in that situation, and can just be turned back on.
Rather, I'd have put such a fragile implant in a less-vulnerable place.
The scale of "THE WORLD WILL NOT TAKE YOUR CRAP ANYMORE" works better than "american geeks will attempt to dos your server"
