Apologies to the author of the original(can be found at http://craphound.com/spamsolutions.txt):

Your law advocates a

(x) technical (x) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) vigilante

approach to fighting piracy. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)

(x) Legitimate bittorrent uses would be affected
(x) It is defenseless against VPNs
(x) It will stop piracy for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it
(x) Users of netflix will not put up with it
( ) Microsoft will not put up with it
( ) The police will not put up with it
(x) Requires too much cooperation from pirates
( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once
(x) Many internet users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers
( ) Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business

Specifically, your plan fails to account for

( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it
(x) TOR endpoints in foreign countries
(x) Asshats
(x) Jurisdictional problems
(x) Unpopularity of net restrictions
(x) Pop-up blockers
(x) Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches
( ) Extreme profitability of piracy
(x) Joe jobs and/or identity theft
(x) Technically illiterate politicians
(x) Dishonesty on the part of pirates themselves

and the following philosophical objections may also apply:

(x) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever
been shown practical
( ) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable
( ) IP headers should not be the subject of legislation
(x) Blacklists suck
(x) Whitelists suck
(x) We should be able to watch youtube without being permanently disconnected from the net
( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud
( ) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks
( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually
(x) Why should we have to trust you and your servers?
(x) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses
( ) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem
(x) I don't want private corporations suing me for downloading my own files

Furthermore, this is what I think about you:

( ) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
(x) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.
( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your
house down!

Well, I use an external sound card to get multiple separate audio outputs from my iPad, does that count?

That infographic claims that there has only been 16 tons of platinum mined in all of history.

Now look at this table: http://www.indexmundi.com/en/commodities/minerals/platinum-group_metals/platinum-group_metals_t5.html

Those figures are rounded to three significant digits, but even if we peel off 1000kg from each year's total, we can safely assume that whoever made that infographic is either misinformed or lying through his teeth.

I'm in Sweden and yes, I quite often buy eggs in 10-packs, but they're also available in 6 and 12-packs.

I buy beer in single bottles, as I regard 99.9% of beer sold in any kind of pack as beer in name only.
Other than that, the packs I do see for beverages are often in quantities of 4, 6, 10 or 24. I think Coca Cola can be bought in any of these packages for example, but come to think of it I haven't seen a 6-pack of anything except cheap supermarket beer/cider in ages.

1m! Didn't have to think about that one very long...

If I hadn't just read most of this thread already, I would have found this funny. Now I can't be sure it's a joke.

They would need to decide on an official language first in order to change it. 28 states have English as an official language so far, IIRC

The 20 times table? Seriously?

Was using the two times table and adding a zero at the end considered some kind of arcane art?

Half the population isn't necessarily below average intelligence.

If you'd said median, you might have had a case.

actually, 2.499999.... is exactly equal to 2.5, so it would be 3 if rounded to one digit.

I'm going to have to add "making a site that doesn't post what the preview shows" instead of what I actually wrote.

Oh well, at least it's does its job consi

You're far from alone. Stupid lurking.
