High Definition TV != Digital TV mandated throughout the US although it becomes possible to transmit DHTV over the air when the switch is made. This too is often a common misunderstanding.
I'm not sure what exactly you're saying here. It is already possible to transmit digital and HD content (HD content is digital, incidentally). For example, in Chicago anyway, my Dad has been picking up HD (as well as SD) over the air since he got his HD TV set, a year or two ago.
For Bittorrent, use of the technology to do legal things like download Linux ISOs is statistically negligible.
Show me your numbers. Provide a link so that I can look at these stats too please...
Without having any stats either way, it seems like a pretty reasonable assumption.
Sure, everyone on slashdot has downloaded Linux ISOs, but most of them have probably also downloaded some illegal content. And slashdot users make up a small percentage of the global population. Most of the people who aren't on slashdot will not be downloading Linux ISOs.
Of course, string theory offers no proof, either. These universes are separate entities, entirely unaware of each other's existence. This is completely untestable, and useful only as an academic exercise.
You don't weigh any less in water, but someone "picking you up" or "carrying" you while in water is aided by the fact that people are buoyant. I can guarantee that a 400lb metal box is not buoyant in the slightest.
The buoyant force comes from the displacement of water. So depending on its size, it could in fact float. I suggest you examine some of todays ships, which are metal boxes, and weigh significantly more than a measly 400 lbs.
Now, this box probably isn't large enough to float, but it will exhibit some degree of buoyancy.
The drivers in SoCal may not be as aggressive as some other large urban areas, but they are worse.
First, they think turn signals are for decoration, and if perchance they happen to turn them on, they usually don't turn them off again (apparently they like decoration).
Second, they don't know how to drive on anything but a perfectly dry road. Any rain and you'll see 'em lining the sides of the highways. I shudder to think what would happen if it snowed here!
Eperience and expertise are a huge player here. You can read all the books you want, but it doesn't mean you'll be able to actually design a better aircraft.
In common parlance 'uploading' and 'downloading' refer not only to the direction of transfer but also the initiator of the transfer. The GP using words as the community uses them does not demonstrate a lack of 'solid grasp', it just means that they are able to converse in language everyone understands.
Well, the initiator would be the one "downloading" (i.e., receiving) the data, consequently the other person is "uploading." The one with the data does not initiate the the transfer.
If you want to maintain an average speed it's better to have it be constant because acceleration due to the slow side of variation makes fuel economy much worse.
Dude... no matter what route you drive, the total change in elevation is the same. If it's downhill going there, it's going to be uphill coming back. Just some paths have different steepness.

I'm guessing you don't use the internet, either, because you have to pay to access it. Oh, wait... here you are!

Gubmint bailout... it's the obvious solution.
A lot of what I've seen really is just some code, that's been poorly wrapped to produce a program.
I'll take it by this that you don't have any statistics to support your point, either, so your position is no more valid than the opposing one.
So I'm curious... do you really believe the primary usage of bittorrent is for legal purposes? Or are you just playing devil's advocate?
I've used bittorrent myself to download Linux ISOs... but I'm under no delusions as to what most people use it for.
I don't think bittorrent should be banned. I think it's a great tool, very useful.
I just think anyone who claims the primary use of bittorrent is for legitimate purposes is kidding himself.
Why does everybody as for a pony, but not a stable to keep it in, or food to keep it alive?
Does Pony meat taste that good?
It makes for pretty good horse d'oeuvres.

OS X running on Intel is 100% UNIX 03 certified, not Unix-ish.
Compatibility is still iffy. I dare you to try to compile X11 or mod_python from source. Doing either is a hard trek, if you can do it at all.
I'm guessing you don't actually use OS X. Because X11 is built right in.
Incidentally, I have compiled various source packages.

It's a joke dude, chill... you'll notice Americans make fun of themselves, too... read any Slashdot article.

I notice you don't object to his stereotype of conservatives as less likely to have fun and enjoy life. Seems your bias is showing, too!
Wow! So it's harder to get on the sex offender list than the terrorist list!
Air resistance still goes like v^2, there's just a different coefficient of drag in front of it depending on the aerodynamics.
If you want to maintain an average speed it's better to have it be constant because acceleration due to the slow side of variation makes fuel economy much worse.
Think binary! You need a 1 MPH brick, a 2 MPH brick, a 4 MPH brick, etc. Just build up a stack.

You'd have to be doing a heck of a lot braking to lose them. Which unless you're a lousy driver, you won't be doing in a typical drive.
My last couple of cars haven't had cruise control....is there some reason they don't like to put them in turbo cars?
Nope. Cruise control works just fine with a turbo. Must just be the make of car you buy.
