Vaccines are not medicine, as they are not designed to prevent, treat, or cure any disease. The vaccine itself only prompts your body to manufacture its own response capability. So, receiving a vaccine (you receive a vaccine, you do not "take" it) is not "being medicated against your will."

Besides, you do not have any right at all to put everyone around you and the entire human race in immediate danger just because of your delusional paranoia about vaccines.

The most powerful cancer treatment EVAR! Diluted an incredible TEN THOUSAND TIMES - this new revolutionary cure has so little active ingredient, it is not measurable using any modern measurement technique. Never before has any alchemist been able to achieve just high levels of potency.

Just $99.95 + 14.95 shipping and handling!

True point, but if the process is efficient enough, and a nuclear energy source can be used to pull CO2 sequestered in the ocean (which came from fossil fuels) to make fuel, rather than pulling new oil out of the ground, then perhaps we could dial back the amount of new carbon being pulled from the ground and dumped into the atmosphere, thereby slowing the growth rate of the concentration of CO2.

Besides, we all know there is not an infinite amount of the stuff down there to drill for, and some day it will be so hard to find and extract that this method will be cheaper anyway. So, why not develop and commercialize it now?

This, except you forgot illegal immigrants.

Because being licensed and qualified is not the same thing as being proficient. In fact there is absolutely no correlation between being "qualified" and being "proficient."

1) The vast, overwhelming majority of commercial pilots fly in the GA industry.

2) The FAA is under immense pressure from the major airlines to get rid of GA entirely

3) This is demonstrably commercial

Hear hear... as I stated in another post (and was promptly vilified for), I wouldn't fly with most of the pilots I know. Too many pilots think that having gone through the training makes them a good pilot, when in reality, walking away from your checkride with your signoff means you are just barely good enough to pass the government's very very low standards. It certainly does not mean you are a "good" pilot, and absolutely does not mean you are a "safe" pilot.

Point was, if you look like a charter, and act like a charter, chances are the FAA is going to look at you and see a charter.

... I'm a pilot, and I wouldn't fly as a pax with most of the other pilots I know, especially not under circumstances they are unfamiliar with - like loading down the plane with people and luggage close to gross weight and doing a cross country with it.

Also, this is in some pretty serious gray area. A pilot may not "hold out" for passengers to share fuel on a trip he/she is planning to take. Any kind of "if someone else is going, I'm not going" makes it a Part 121 charter. If pilots start deciding not to go if they don't get a full plane, or if they wait around for an hour for the person who is late, I think they might find themselves violated.

If you simply change everyone's temporal frame of reference by the exact same amount, you have done nothing, really. Everyone will simply account for the 500ms delay, and trades will still execute in the same order.

You will never convince local governments to give up such a lucrative revenue source.

I can't bring my Chevette to the local Ford dealer to get repaired, no more than I can bring my Pinto to the Ferrari dealer for service work.

So no, nobody should be forcing MS to do anything. Microsoft has never advertised any of their products as being "good forever," so there is no duty to hold them to.
