Heaven forbid they build more and better roads for the delivery truck to travel on. Or do you think stuff you order just materalizes on your front porch?

Of course it should be. Or are you saying you should pay the same tax to a small boutique store in littletown, usa that you'd pay to a large flagship store on 5th ave in NY? Just like the cost of living is different between small town America and NYC, the cost of providing services (fire, police, etc) to business in smalltown is less. So why should the taxes be the same?

Is there really a difference between 4:11pm and 3:11pm? I guess if you are getting off work at 3:00pm that means an hour of dim sunlight. But considering that MOST people get off work at 5:00pm it doesn't really matter what time the sunset.

A study has shown a rise in heart attack rates after the time change. Yeah I can see how that isn't that big of a deal.
You probably have never missed a meeting due to the clocks being wrong. Or you probably adjust quickly to the time change, while several people take a week or more to adjust their sleeping schedule.
Just because "it is one of the costs" doesn't mean it is good or should be changed.

In winter, it gets dark about 4:30pm. But I see what you are saying, everything just shuts down at dusk, and we don't do anything after dark.

You do realize that MOST headlines are written to be a play on words.
You also seem to have forgotten that some words can also be adjectives.

The ONLY time I fear for my safety is when I'm going through the security line:

• The make you stand next to a barrel full of suspected explosives
• Your xrayed bags are out of your sight and could easily be stolen
• You are asked to remove your shoes and walk across a dirty floor
• If you don't want to walk through their radiation machine, they will stick their hand down your pants
• It is one of the largest concentrations of people in the airport, a dandy target for a terrorist

So yes, I fear for my safety going through the checkpoint. And for what? For no obvious reason. It doesn't make me safer on the other side of the checkpoint. It doesn't keep me safer on the plane. It only makes me feel like a criminal and wastes my time and money.

I'm not sure what his point is. He claims people pay a premium for sports and lush serial dramas, because people wouldn't pay for them if the cable companies didn't provide them... duh. I get cable mainly because I want to watch sports. If they didn't offer sports, I wouldn't be paying for the service.
He claims he gets on demand access to Game of Thrones. Where does he do that legally? They only place I see where you legally get Game of Thrones is the DVDs, not on demand and not cheap.
He also mentions the money goes straight to the studios and networks. And then talks about how the cable companies charge high fees for some stuff so they can bundle other stuff. So not all of the money goes straight to the studios.

So what is the problem? Wikipedia is supposed to contain information that can be verified. The information exists in "questionable newspapers," but it can still be verified in those newspapers. If this is a problem then Wikipedia needs to change its policy on what can be used for verification.

What exactly is the problem? That someone maintains a wikipedia page? That someone PAYS someone to maintain the page?

Noooo! Not a Formula Translator!

Its been how long since the files were released? What national security was damaged? Shouldn't we have evidence by now that some damage actually occurred?

Perhaps that is the first problem. Perhaps they should do a better job of estimating how many people will actually use it. There are only 100,000,000 households in America. Roughly half can't use the website, as their state has their own site. And then how many of these people also have insurance through their work? Throw in the fact that the users will use it over several months, and will most likely only use it a few times, and then never again... $6 per user is pretty excessive.

Probably not as dangerous as having all the dinner trays (still used on international flights) flying around... or anything else for that matter.

What was it the report told you, and what did you KNOW or suspect? The report appears to say that the people who pirate spend more than those who don't pirate. But what does that tell us? Not a whole lot really. Perhaps those who don't pirate don't consume very much. Based on the article we don't really know anything more than we did before.
