Why do you continue maintaining that 10 MB drive, may I ask?

Digger, please.

I'd prefer that people not use either show as a basis for their understanding of reality. It's not as if CSI and Law & Order are the only available options for learning about criminal justice.

Sometimes I walk up escalators. Sometimes I ride up escalators. I live in Los Angeles. I'm not obese. A given person does not always do the same things the same way every time.

So basically, you're saying that people should get their comprehension of the legal system not from this fictional show that alters reality for dramatic effect, but instead from this other fictional show that alters reality for dramatic effect. That sounds like a great idea.~

Yeah... Microsoft's idea of having a background on something, an idea which they invented, and no one else had ever done before!

This one single study is quite fascinating! I can't wait to see other, corroborating studies. Until then, of course, I'm going to withhold acceptance of any conclusions claimed by the study.

Excellent characterization of the problem.

One must keep in mind though, that not every distributor/production company is part of the Hollywood cartel, or necessarily agrees with their views on copyright.

...and?

Look, just because you orcs don't know how to have fun doesn't mean the rest of us should have to suffer! Why don't you go play with a palantir or something?

I think we might want to pay more attention to how much not urinating will cost...

I'm incapable of curing cancer, and the only thing I do with orphans is sacrifice them to Cthulhu, so do you really want me to stop reading your post?

These "German authorities" asked to audit Google's data, but nothing in there says that they ordered Google to publicize the findings or issue an apology. We'd need to know more about what happened there. Also, we don't know whether they ordered Google to let them review the data, or they simply requested it and Google said "yes."

Like the kind that cause a bridge to collapse, or a space shuttle to blow up shortly after launch?
