Compelling argument. I particularly like the evidence-based argument you used with respect to... oh wait, it's just you calling your opponent a retard, the tried-and-true method of winning a debate.

So many whooshes below you it's sad. +1 Hilarious to you

Many public domain works are freely available through both the individual e-readers stores and sites like Project Gutenberg.

Hah!

Correct, it's a developer preview, so that they can see the basic mechanics of the OS before the real beta builds.

Thank you AC.

For those of you who didn't get the joke, the MAFIAA site was an April Fool's joke created by a random web designer

Man, good burn there, if you weren't actually the guy who's wrong.

There is a whole range of Plug-in Hybrids the most well-known of which would likely be the Chevrolet Volt.

It tasted just like normal water. The methane bubbles up and evaporates into the air in a matter of seconds after pouring the glass, and even if that weren't the case, methane, while flammable, is also odourless, colourless, and non-toxic.

You seem to be forgetting the financial companies who were so fucking broke we had to give them money or the world would end. You know, the same companies who took our money, turned around and gave billions in bonuses to their employees, presumably for doing such a wonderful job

They burgle, you fucking dolt

Interestingly, it is, mostly. In the early 90s, when blank CDs were becoming a big thing, the CRIA (Canadian RIAA) lobbied for levies on blank media to offset people using the blanks to copy their IP. Well, the lobbying worked, and since the 90s we've had a levy taken off the top of any blank media purchase to cover piracy. Therefore, because the CRIA is being paid for you copying before you've even done it, it basically works out that it's implied permission to copy. Thus, we end up in a position where downloading things to copy is legal, though distribution or uploading is still illegal. Bittorrent, for example, could still potentially land you in hot water, as you're distribution in addition to downloading, though no cases have been tried on those grounds yet
