Anyone else find some irony in the fact that the people deciding which kids qualify for advanced education programs couldn't get their math right?

You are aware that there is more than one auto manufacturer? And, they already compete with each other on price? There is no need for another layer whose only purpose is to compete on the middle man markup.

All that the dealers offer a discount on is the middle man markup. Remove the requirement to have independent dealers, and you remove their markup.

I have a Samsung Galaxy tablet that I'm planning to sell on Kijiji. Am I prohibited from doing this?

Why would the original be anywhere other than with the owner? If you could copy a car perfectly without taking the original from the owner, is that theft?

Actually, it's more like "I had no intention of ever paying for that Ferrari, therefore I didn't steal it when I *cloned one* and parked it in my garage".

Where does it say "the right to bear arms in a way that can't be traced"?

I've watched enough to know that if there *is* good content out there, the effort necessary to find it isn't worth it. There are much better things I can do with my time.

Perhaps so, but the entertainment industry is trying to blame things like DVD ripping and distribution protocols such as Bittorrent for significan losses in revenue, which, for The Avengers, can be seen to not be the case.

Does selective oversight into TSA security theatre equate to Oversight Theatre?

You're absolutely right. Women who willfully allow themselves to be raped with the intent to have the raper prosecuted, should *indeed* be punished

Curious to learn how "an approach that is common in all notebooks today" could be granted to a panted only two months ago ...

Agree completely. In fact, I'll take it a step further. The current copyright system creates a disincentive in the creative industries; by artificially inflating the value of old ideas it discourages the creation of new ideas (yes, there are still some new and innovative ideas).
