Don't worry, as long as you don't post the exact same comment tomorrow you should be fine.

You're arguing that freedom and capitalism are good. I'm not sure why you're doing that.
Things like capitalism and socialism don't exist in a pure, undistilled form. At least not in our lifetime. Arguably never. Even when the US was run by Ronald Reagan, even when Ayn Rand followers were running the Fed., the US was STILL a mixed economy.
If you want freedom and non-government intervention, you might get it if you move to Somalia. That's your only choice these days.
Interesting thought, though I would expect the difference to be one of magnitude. That is, if cell phones cause cancer, recent ubiquity would cause *more* cancer than the relatively less common use of them years ago. But I would expect there to be a measured, statistically significant increase regardless.
Unless you think it works like a sort of critical mass where you aren't at an increased risk until it gets to a certain level
No no no. Do you know how Carbon offsets work?
My company spews out X amount of carbon a year. My Government puts a limit to Y amount of Carbon a year. Since it's detrimental to my business (reducing client base) to reduce my carbon output, I can purchase Carbon offsets so that some of my money goes towards greener projects. Thus I keep my clients Happy and I meet government regulation.
Depends on the industry. Some industries you can only trade the offsets between other players in the industry - i.e. the government sets a max for the amount of carbon offsets issued; so everyone trades until they are happy. People not producing much in terms of carbon can get extra funding by selling (or leasing out) their spare carbon offsets to those that need it for whatever reason.
Not the first place I'd start looking. Nuff said. (Heck... there's probably more porn producers in Montreal than porn virgins.)

For instance, take trying to download a movie from Sony's PS3 store. You'll only ever make that mistake once. You could have a 10 petabyte internet connection and it would still take you 16 hours to download a TV episode from them because they won't send you the file at anywhere near a reasonable speed.
You must have a different PS3 store than the one I use. Mine gets me a 30 minute TV episode in about 10 minutes, max. And I can start watching it as soon as I start downloading it. Very nice.
A good point, except what you mean is that New York has the "gall", as in bile. Just trying to keep things humorous.
Except for Jefferson it would have been six or seven old men that run the country.
His phrasing was "They can already turn off the internet at-will," and then he described a proposed bill. How is it correct to say that someone already has a power that might be granted to them in the future?
A proposed bill doesn't give anybody the power to do anything except debate the bill in Congress. You might need to watch this again.
Even somewhat technical people fail to realize this frequently.
Do you have some kind of number that would describe exactly how frequently?
The more digits that prime numbers have, the further apart adjacent primes are.
That's not actually true. As numbers get larger you'll get longer composite runs, but you'll still find prime constellations between some of those runs. If what you say was true, the twin prime conjecture would be closed with a "Myth: BUSTED!" sticker on it, instead of open with overwhelming evidence in its favor.
Memory fault - where am I?
