Do you work for free? If not why don't you tell me what you do, how much you make, and I'll tell you how much you may keep without being "greedy".

That's a dumb argument. The people selling warez are doing so off other people's work without incurring any of the effort or cost that goes into creating the content or software. Taking the cost out of the equation obviously makes it easy for them to profit at price points that wouldn't otherwise make sense.
I have a better one! "Simple Mail Transfer Protocol". That mnemonic never fails to remind me what the protocol is for.
Amazon apparently does not give two shits about fraud and SPAM and we so more and more SPAM and VOIP hacking coming from Amazon services everyday.

You do know that energy consumption goes beyond just oil, right?
Maybe you weren't (assuming you're the AC) but from looking at this thread lots of other people seem to think that's an actual concern.
Please, stop cooling magma. No more viscous magna means no more earth magnetic field, hence no more magnetic shield, ie no more life.
Please, don't dig for geothermic energy. Leave alone our earth kernel.
Now let's do some math.
Mass of the earth: 5.9*10^24 kg. Apart from a very thin shell on top, most of that is at a couple of thousand degrees kelvin.
Magma has a much higher specific heat, but let's be conservative and assume all of earth has the same specific heat as iron, or about 460 J/kg
Cooling the earth by a single degree will release about 2.75*10^27 joules
The total world energy consumption from all sources in 2008 was estimated at 4.75*10^20 joules.
At that rate, cooling the interior of the earth by a single degree would power the entire world for 5,789,473 years.
And that's assuming the earth doesn't continue to generate heat from radioactive decay, tidal forces, friction etc.
Yes, because counting atoms is so easy.
MO a gram should be measured in a similar way distance is measured
You do realize that's the point of the article, right?
I'm not sure why this is funny... buying items from a manufacturer is not a reversible transaction (outside of return policies and such).
What makes you think Sony will buy them?
He tripped and fell, and there was a subsequent coverup by the graveyard staff.
Yeah, yeah... I know you're technically not "dead" till the air in your coffin runs out.
