That's not the argument.

The argument is that if it is ok for you to steal $2,000, why is it not ok for me to steal $1,000.

There is a big difference there.

You suggested that both our stealing is wrong. The defense would be "You seem ok with the other guy stealing $2,000. That suggests to us that this is a politically motivated action and not based on the merits of your case because if it were, we would expect suit against the more egregious offense where there is none".

You're completely off base. These were refunds levied against the publishers. Amazon has nothing to do with the suit. They are just the medium of refund for kindle owners.

But lying within the species is not a benefit to the species as a whole, hence, the species is a pathological liar (in my view).

We do have a remarkable propensity for trying to mislead one another don't we?

It's like the species, collectively, is a pathological liar.

An individual need not be harmed by a law to realize that it is not an area that should be legislated.

Everything comes and goes. There was a time when the same comment could have been made about myspace.

You mean like a gel-cap? :P

Considering the speed of sound in seawater is something along the lines of 5 times the speed of sound in the atmosphere (note, this is variable in both mediums, and the 5 is in the proper range, and provided only to illustrate the difference in magnitude), that would be one fast torpedo!

You forgot that this is California we're talking about. Most everything gets 50% of the revenue, and total spend is around %4500 of revenue ;)

This. A "time capsule" is a construct for physical items. Storing data in something like this just seems asinine, yet that's what almost all the suggestions here are...

A regional list for small states could work, but you have to be able to get to the organ location/meet the organ halfway/etc within a pretty short span of time. If you're a resident of Maine, and an organ became available in California, it's not going to do you much good.

SCSI was never common on the desktop was my point. That it died out was just parenthetical info.

So, your argument is that SCSI on the desktop (something that died out) means that PC makers do what Apple does? You might want to try a different example...

That word (catharsis) doesn't mean what you think it means.

Catharsis is a purging of built up emotion/tension. It has absolutely nothing to do with education of any sort.....

Well, not exactly. Copying mistake suggests a meiosis or mitosis failure. However, there is also the potential for DNA to be altered and then copied accurately.
