Vitamins & Painkillers: a contrary view
Piracy exists because easily replicable goods are not available to some people, price is just one of many possible reasons for this unavailability -- look at tv, shows from free-to-air channels are being pirated in millions(!) of copies every week.

A lot of people are picking up on that. I didn't type the whole name out partially because I didn't know a better, standardized abbreviation for it, and partly because I was typing on my phone at the time and didn't want to spell it all out. I hoped everyone would know what I meant, but apparently not. My blue ribbon high school didn't have E&M physics classes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of government in the sunshine and half a million dollars is asinine and not in the public interest. However, the your argument appears largely unsupported.

Just to play devil's advocate, if the county builds a stadium for the local high school team, are citizen's entitled to free admission?

If they build a performing arts center, are citizens entitled to use it for free?

Yes, thanks for clarifying, my first sentence was not very clear.
You do in fact seem to be correct on that point. However, I do not think that your assertion about most of the images failing the Dost test is correct, or that you have adequate evidence to make such an assertion.

I also don't think, if it were true, that that would call for a new, sweeping policy. The rule merely needs to be "nothing illegal", and then that rule needs to be enforced. "Suggestive content featuring minors" is just insanely broad.
On the other hand, we've seen that people are clearly willing to download bittorrent clients to get their stuff. Add in PEX with DHT and tribler-like functionality (versus having to go find a sufficiently non-seedy website, and not having to put credit card details into netflix, and so on) and you've got a winner.
"so you can be the morality police for the world. Sorry for the confusion."

If your post were a New Yorker cartoon I'd have the perfect caption for it. I'm not the morality police, I'm pointing out that morality exists and reddit, as a community was not above that. I'm dreadfully sorry if you're only now finding out that community morality exists and that there are commercial consequences for for-profit private businesses who ignore that in the real world.

As has been pointed out ad nauseum reddit is easily cloneable. If you think all the world needs is a place where the timeless insights of the people that brought us /r/jailbait, and "how to rape your daughter" threads can shine without the "morality police" ever being called on the party have at it.

"This is what some of us are trying to do here while you are clamoring to (extending the metaphor) put everyone in jail who may one day murder someone."

Bullshit. Let me clear up this analogy. I'm saying we have a rule against murder and it's a good rule. You're saying it's a dangerous rule that will lead us down the road to serfdom.

We can debate whether the rule is good (not all rules are as clear cut as the one we have for murder). I don't think you will win on those merits though re: this reddit policy.

There's a rule at most community pools that you don't crap or piss in the pool. Somehow this hasn't led to widescale pool tyranny, it's pretty much just a rule not to piss in the pool. Just because there's a slope doesn't mean anyone is going to slip down it.
I run Debian unstable on a quad-core T520 since our servers run Debian testing and everything Just Works, but most of the developers in my shop run Mac OSX and they have endless it's-not-quite-Linux problems: installing MySQL fails because the build thought that it was a fat binary or that it was 32-bit-but-the-libraries-were-64-bit; Mac OSX system paths are kinda weird; or homebrew installed a binary in a bizarre directory.

I can't help but wonder: since all the WMs are adopting Apple's desktop experience, are the multi-touch gestures worth the minor-but-frustrating lack of compatibility? I use Gnome3 and, while I complain about X,Y or Z, it's basically the same as Mac OSX.
Server-side window decorations make smooth (buffered with no tearing) resize behavior much more difficult than it has to be.

Getting Cheap Car Insurance
Insurance policies mean you have to make regular payments, and these payments cut a slice on your finances. Many people don't like paying too much for insurance products. This is why they tend to get cheap car insurance. Low-cost automobile insurance is not necessarily inferior to the rest of the insurance products. There are important questions to ask.

Edison is notably overrated. While he does deserve some credit, his approach to R&D was infamously brute-force. Tesla noted, “If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.” He also infamously took credit for the inventions of his employees--the long and impressive list of things Edison invented is really a long and impressive list of things invented at Edison's lab.
While it's hard to argue with success, not every successful man should be a figure of unquestioned admiration. Edison was famous in his day, and remains famous today, because he had the best PR and marketing in the business.

I've been using dual monitor setups at home and at work for a few years now through several hardware builds, both desktops and laptops first using Ubuntu, then switching to Debian Testing for a rolling distribution about a year ago (after finally realizing I love the latest software, but don't want to spend time to upgrade/rebuild every 6 months to keep up with Ubuntu's release schedule or deal with the hassle of installing everything from source). I've been using Nvidia cards with the nvidia driver and dual monitor support has been fantastic for me.

Quite a large number of people pay to pirate, like those who paid for Megaupload, and those who pay for Usenet access. The charge is almost what Netflix charges (~10$ a month), but the selection and quality is much better (for pirated content), and catalog is also better. And better yet you don't loose the stuff that can be watched because some licensing agreement failed.

I think even if Piratebay starts charging what Netflix charges, it will remain a huge website.
Specifically we're working to get Erlang out of the data path. So the code where throughput and latency really matter is written by hand and compiles directly to machine code, and Erlang continues to do what it does best - manage distributed systems and asynchronous processes.

In theory a great VM could out-perform C, but after you've chased down a few Erlang VM WTFs, there's something nice about being closer to the metal.

I fully agree with Dan!
I thought that globalization and the 'tearing down' of national borders was a good thing? Doesn't this go against the idea that multi-national corporations can divide up the global into separate regions (e.g. dvd region codes)?
On the other hand bittorrent live has great distribution channels: The Pirate Bay et al.

There will be many people wanting to "stream bittorrent" and it'll get at least close to critical mass. Whether it can tip over into the mainstream will be the real question.

One example I could see is justin.tv that's betting heavily (with their twitch.tv site) on esports which I'm pretty sure has a good overlap with people who know/use bittorrent.

Another of course will be megaupload/megavideo v2.0.

It's definitely something worth following.
Actually, yes.

Every dollar in use fees for physical locations goes to defray the cost of the construction, use, and maintenance, lowering the actual taxpayer burden.

Cost of distribution for public information -- which will be collected regardless of use by anyone other than the government -- is de minimis. It is literally so low that it would cost the government more to do the accounting that could be reasonably charged for the act of distribution. What is unsupportable is not simply putting the data online.

The government serves the people, it is to act in their interest. It is unquestionably not in the people's interest to have this data charged for.

.NET is a higher abstraction of the win32 api with many many additional features. And that's an understatement.

And that "kinds of software" is more or less the entire Windows desktop market.

Totally agree with your point. "Nuclear" has become a taboo, even in wording. When you go for a MRI, you know it stands for "Magnetic Resonance Imaging" (MRI), but the actual full name of the diagnostic tool is "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI)". Because the full name has the "N word" in it, it scares the hell out of people who have no understanding of Science whatsoever. Completely irrational.

1) The logistics wouldn't be there. Not necessarily because people won't pay, but because paying is a barrier to entry. Even paying a penny would filter out a number of users. Would you really believe that the reason those people wouldn't pay a penny is because they are cheap? Or is it more likely that the paywall is a barrier that they are too lazy to overcome?

2) Charging out-right for the service vs. making money on advertisements would also be a shift in their image. This may cause a number of people to jump ship out of principle. I.e. a 'hipster filter' if you will ("they're too big and corporate now", "they've sold out", etc).

You're mostly right, with a couple of exceptions:

1. China is working on a mass-producible pebble bed reactor, the 100 MWe HTR-PM. The first pair of them are under construction, and are scheduled to start commercial operation in 2015.

2. It's possible to run existing pressurized light water reactors on a fuel mix consisting mostly of thorium. This has nothing to do with the capital costs of construction, but if uranium ever gets a lot more expensive, it could be a very useful option.
