(IANAL) If you use something that was obtained illegally, you're taking part.
Want the car analogy? OK, buy a new set of mag wheels from a teenager for $50 and see if you get to keep them.
Gone are the days, when pursuit of happiness was understood as a natural right granted to each human being not by their government, but by the Creator.
Yes, very long gone. They died when we gave up on hunter-gathering, settled into fixed dwellings, and the first genius figured out that the soup would taste better if the privy were downstream.
It does, huh? You don't mind the thousands-pounds piloted aircraft flying above your all day, you don't mind the trucks driving around all day (delivering the same stuff), it is the light drones, that keep you awake at night?
The airplanes flying overhead don't land in my neighborhood.
The UPS trucks park in my neighborhood according to well-tested and well-enforced procedures, just as I do.
A drone big enough to deliver, say, a laptop on my driveway is big enough to kill my dog or the neighbor's kid. Until I know that little detail has been taken care of, you're damn right I have the right to impose such a requirement. Whine about the freedom of the open range all you like; we've come too far to go back to writing our rules in blood.
Well, as long as they don't go eyeliner...
They tried that for a while in the wake of 9/11, but the bootup time of Windows caused massive delays.
I'm sorry, but thanks to Richard Dawkins, atheism now has people going door to door trying to convert people.
Where? All I get is Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Baptists.
Yes they do, but that description does not apply to the Greenpeace blimp anyway. It has both an engine and a propane burner.
What do you mean by "caught off guard?" Are you assuming that if they saw it coming, they'd shoot it down? Or would they maybe pull it over with a police blimp?
The "whole MF Sun" will not be available to you until you build a Dyson sphere. But yeah, I guess that would be an example of really WANTING to...
( Does Germany even have winter? I think Fahrenheit (the guy who invented the temperature scale) was German and he seemed to think that 0F was as cold as you could get, so I guess they don't have a real winter there.)
There are several folkloric versions of how he set the zero, but he didn't do it by watching a thermometer...google "frigorific mixture".
You can certainly find subzero temps in Europe if you go high enough, but Fahrenheit mostly lived and worked in the Low Countries.
Accelerating energy -- what a concept.
In my lifetime I've known about ten Mensans personally, and at least five of them could really have used it.
...are going to be really, really bad.
Not killing innovation, requiring it. If you want to deliver packages by air to people's doorsteps, you're just going to have to invent an anti-gravity device that will do it without killing their children and dogs.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
