I dare you. I dare you, to not break the law in the location you are currently in, for a period of 24 hours. Unless you resort to not moving, you will be breaking a law (although that might be illegal as well). In most developed nations, you are dealing with a layer of international, national and local laws, with a history of several hundred years. Many of these old laws have not been revoked however, they are just no longer enforced.

"Oh" you say now, "I mean I just follow the laws that are still enforced actively". To that I say, "so do I". But I might just have a different set of laws I consider enforced than you do. That doesn't make me more or less moral than you. We both break the letter of the law. And we both hold ourselves to our own moral standards.

Sure. And all that could have happened, however FTA: "Kylie Maree Monks, 33, pleaded guilty". If you plead guilty, it's over.

This is a clear case of a uninformed and/or unintelligent defendant and a judge with a severe case of hemorrhoids.

I haven't seen any new footage of Osama for at least 8 years. Unless I see the body I'm not going to believe that they killed him.

Also, I want the body checked for marks of being frozen for a long period of time.

Or: One of my best friends committed suicide at age 32 in 2005. I think LSD was not part of his life, so I am sure that is not why he killed himself. Anyway, you get the point. People die, sometimes I wonder why.

One of my best friends committed suicide at age 32 in 2005. Because LSD was not part of his life, I am not sure why the suicide happened.

I don't think so. Manning leaked cables and somewhat classified documents from/to US embassies. These documents are internal US Department of Defense documents.

That is correct. However, to the best of my knowledge this activity does not take place in a "hard-drive repair center". In fact, there's no such thing as a "hard-drive repair center", with the exception perhaps of an RMA department of a hard drive manufacturing company. That gave me the impression that the story was either made up or badly translated.

That's it. I'm starting a new organisation called Greypeace, to protect the moon's ecological system. Our goal will be attacking these lunar rovers with inflatable rockets in order to raise public awareness.

I'll post a link where you can donate money for this completely legit organisation shortly.

"He works at a hard-drive repair center". Ah? A hard-drive repair center yes? What do they do there? Take the drives apart, polish the platters and bolt them back together? Must be a Russian thing no?

I sometimes do it too. If I consistently sleep for about 4 hours max for 3 or 4 days, my mood will start improving. If I then take a mild stimulant like caffeine (or music with a high BPM) I reach a state that is close to euphoria, lasting several hours. My guess is that there is some genetics involved.It's never been hard for me to become manic for a short period of time.

Looks pretty, but all this talk about relationships with inanimate objects in the video made me feel like it aimed at owners of real dolls. I have relationships with people (and maybe animals and myself), objects just enable me to have these relationships. Maybe an object oriented website just isn't my thing.

After which you will upload your whole collection? Keep in mind that the free version has a 5GB limit and the "I bought an album from Amazon" version is 20GB.

I'm not sure what is going on, but I suspect this is a lawsuit honeypot of some sorts. Clearly the cloud player has very little practical value, that over time will diminish even further as storage costs keep dropping.

Good question. As repetition sets in, more of the task is probably moved to the muscle memory part of the brain, but this does not necessitate a lower energy consumption.

I don't buy it. As far as I can tell the this thing Jeff calls Whittling is simply energy preservation behavior. Brains take up 30% of your overall energy consumption. Thinking has a relatively high energy cost to it and people are hardwired to prefer limiting their energy expenditure that does not generate a return (wage, food, etc).
