Mine won't. And neither will my next car.

Marijuana cures nothing, except perhaps intelligence.

I have seen some particularly nasty malware hidden in many BIOSes recently. The payload has the effect of preventing you from installing legitimate operating systems on your own computer without first paying large amounts of money to a large extortion group.

Through my research I have managed to trace the perpetrators to Redmond, WA.

Utilities often have a local monopoly, so customers can't do a thing if costs are passed to them. Happy or angry customers make no difference to them.

Other companies have some degree of competition, so putting up prices makes them less attractive to their customers, who will shop elsewhere.

Loosely speaking, a Bitcoin is a secret number.

Which brings up an interesting point. Can anyone actually steal a number or merely copy it? The number already existed, in a sense, long before bitcoin so how can anyone really "own" it?

Remember that similar arguments about stealing vs copying have been made in defense of copyright infringement claims by the MPAA, RIAA, etc.
