It really isn't a governments job to sell of fake currency though. They should be only dealing in whatever is accepted as the coin of the realm as it would be, and imprisoning all those who try to subvert it.

So it couldn't possibly be that local law enforcement is arming itself to defend against paranoid homeland security? Things have been way to one sided towards the feds forces for way too long now.

People need to reminded every now and then why a certain day every year is set aside for them to cook hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. The Japanese died for one false god, the Allies whose bones are sure to be uncovered for another.

I'd say everyone who is like me and refuses to "pay for TV". Really, have you ever actually watched what they pay for? Commercials with commercials embedded in them, that is what people who think you "pay for TV" pay for.

...to say we did it just to prove that we could is a pretty big motivator in itself. Suprisingly enough to the 1%, profit is not the only motivation in life.

....you put online stays online. Forever!!

Maybe it will save energy, but it would keep me subservient to the content producers and that is a cost I'm just not willing to incur. When I "own" the contents of a DVD I expect to be able to watch it whenever I want on whichever device I choose.

And for those who wish to pass on their DNA to future generations.

What else could explain a man's willingness to become monogamous despite his overwhelming desire to lay every female he encounters? The desire to procreate is overwhelming in normal human beings and only a genetic deathwish could motivate one to not pass on his DNA.

The poorer the background of the student, the more that should be spent on his education. The way things are now, what with those with the nmost getting the most, is completely backwards for an equality for everyone society.c

Not being a gamer, I'm all okay with waiting for the rich kid's hardware to catch up. Besides, too much graphics capibility seems to do nothing but encourage developers to force all sorts of ridiculous visual doodads on software that really needs to do nothing but serve as point and click program launchers.

They lost the battle when they couldn't force everyone to use their shit on every device owned. High five to them for trying though.

Just that episode explains why I love Big Bang Theory, it is so much fun to laugh at yourself! Maybe I'm just not geeky enough to get offended?

How can a seed that has been released into nature not be open source? Seeds, by there very nature, seek to profilierate sot it would obviously take unnatural forces to prevent them from doing so. Certainly, at least, no human govenment would make it illegal to not prevent nature from taking it's course.
