Your points 1 & 2 are precisely the same conclusion drawn by Dubner and Levitt in Freakonomics. They make it in reference to a program the city of Chicago enacted to send books to kids in hopes that they would get smarter by osmosis or something. You'd think by the off-handed way the Freakonomics reference was made that the submitter would've recognized that. I guess reading the allusory material is about as highly regarded as reading the original article around here...
And if i put together a bunch of steel beams in a way nobody ever thought of before to make a lighter and stronger bridge I really haven't created anything new because it's nothing but pieces of steel that anybody could have welded together.
Near the beginning of the movie I noticed something was wrong with the mouth movement and sound. I thought it might be unsynced but if you really pay attention you'll notice it is lined up just fine. It took me an hour to put my finger on what was wrong. The mouths move perfectly to form the words but the lips never really meet to create the percussive articulation associated with "p", "b", "m", etc. sounds. After a while though, you get used to it and I didn't even notice once I was engrossed in the film.
The word pact connotates a pretty shady aggrement to me. As in, signing a pact with the devil. When AOL and MSN sign a 'pact', which one of them do we consider the devil?
In chapter 9 of THHGTTG, Ford and Arthur find themselves on the starship Heart of Gold. Arthur can be heard to remark, "Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it." I know that I, and possibly the rest of the linux community, would like to know: what's so bad about turning into a penguin?
A while back I heard a rumor about a HHGTTG movie. How true is this rumor that I heard? Is there anything like this planned? Do you have details for us ravenous fans?
February, 2000: Hunger is no longer a problem in the U.S. as thousands of people realize that the apocalypse isn't coming and unload all of their hoarded canned goods in food drives.

How about: allowing the developer to retatin his rights to his creation so he can make money with it. We all need to eat.

What is important to ask is, can one opt out of this data collection?
Yeah, don't go to the casino.

"What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?"
Everyone assumes this is just some odd joke. Try multiplying 6 by 9 in base 13 and see what happens.
Earthlings and their decimal system.... sheesh!
