I don't want to troll...but strictly speaking, it is. Car-related deaths implies death by car. No car means no way to die by car. Granted, the side-effects are incredibly complicated and probably not worth getting rid of cars, but if you're only interested in minimizing car-related deaths, then get rid of the cars.
Similarly, No More Heroes for the Wii and The World Ends With You for the DS. Both amazing games, both incredibly fun, and both received absolutely no advertising as far as I can tell.
Look. Language evolves. If you asked a group of people what the term American refers to, I can guarantee you that the majority of people will think of denizens of the United States of America.
You want to refer to somebody from the Americas? Call them a North or a South American. And besides, no Canadian wants to be called an American.
You still need five. You can have discrete dimensions. For example, a 12x12 multiplication table is finite and discrete, but still has two dimensions. I mean, technically you can combine the two valued polarity dimension and the 3 valued wavelength dimension to get a 6 valued "light" dimension, but you're just being pedantic. And yes, the word dimension is perfectly acceptable here.
I'm a touch confused by your post. On the one hand, you say that "we either have fast results or we have riots". On the other hand, you say that "if anyone had announced Obama as the winner and then it turned out to be McCain", we'd have riots. So clearly, according to you, fast results cause riots. You then go on to say that "fast [sic] is absolutely necessary and complete accuracy is secondary". But I think you're flat out wrong. Speed is the secondary concern; getting the wrong result fast is worse according to you than getting the correct result slowly.
Moreover, it seems the true problem here is the dichotomy between speed (caused by a desire for ad revenue) and accuracy (caused by a desire to avoid rioting). Clearly, accuracy should take the higher priority. That or else force TV stations to report the truth: that they are predicting the outcome of the election based on current statistics, not reporting the outcome of the election.
It works in Canada, surely you can get it to work in your country too.
You want a good argument for term lengths of copyright? Read McCauley on Copyright. It's a pair of speeches given by Thomas McCauley in the British Parliament in 1841 and 1842. To put it bluntly, McCauley has said all there is to be said on copyright, and done it much more eloquently than you or I could.
Pay attention to the second speech, where he argues for a copyright term of 42 years or until death, whichever is longer.
Are you serious? There are definitely situations where it is safe to drive over the posted limit on the road. Ever seen an ambulance tear off screaming down the road? They're sure as hell driving over the posted limit, and I'm fairly certain they wouldn't risk getting into an accident on their way to help.
And then there's Ontario. At the Beer Store, you can buy beer, and nothing else. The provincial government can set the minimum price on beer. Oh, and it's owned by some American beer companies. Then there's the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario). There you can buy wine and liquors, including some beer (generally imports and rarer stuff). Other than maybe getting wine from one of the big box grocery stores, that's all you can buy. Of course we do have bars and clubs, but still...
Oh, and drinking age is 19.
Ahh, good ol' Griffiths. How I agonized over the problems in that book. I suppose that would work, but it I still think the implications are far reaching. I mean, Maxwell's equations at the core of much of the technology we rely on today. To think that we might be able to do even more is impressive.
Absolutely. The better part is what this would mean for Maxwell's equations. If it turns out that you can create something indistinguishable from a magnetic monopole, then we have to start some very serious research into the implications.
Or how about he was pointing out that teachers often think that they're the best at everything, when in reality, there are many people who know more than them in a given field.
Alcohol is a drug, isn't it? I've used it, and I'm no junkie nor have I killed someone. Besides, the reason people kill for their fix is because they can't afford it. They can't afford it because the price is kept high due to the danger of acquiring/possessing it. This in turn stems from its illegality. So if the drug was legal, then no one would have to kill to feed their addiction.
Doing a quick bit of research shows that they had a copy of Symantec WebNOT filter. However, their copy didn't have a license for updates, so they missed out on all the new porn that appears daily.

The electricity problem is trivial, and left to the reader to solve for themselves.
Whooosh!

Without restaurants, people would buy all their food from the grocery store.
Without open source, people would buy all their software from closed source.
Clearly, employing people that work in open source is good for open source, just as employing people in restaurants is good for the food industry.
Well, let's say we find a way to modify people to have an immunity to skin cancer. Clearly, passing this on to your children would be a good thing.

In fact, if you believe Mr. Flint, then putting your books online for free actually helps your sales.
I think that's his point. Real typesetters use some sort of TeX/LaTeX implementation.
But sir, tis the first of April. The only day when such bullshit is allowed.
Something like that.

And we all know how often perjury is prosecuted.

Umm, what brought you to that conclusion? We're fairly certain that there are multiple photons, and no evidence of magnetic monopoles.

Whereas I'm too lazy to reply to anyone who replies to me.
