There is no way to tell how much of those users will attempt to connect concurrently for the first time. You mentioned earlier that "It would only cause a couple thousand dollars to set up additional servers"... The server itself is no less than $20k. Then you need to pay someone to install it, that time is factored…

Each server costs ~$20,000.00 to purchase, but the real expense comes from maintenance and instillation. To add an additional 5 servers it can take up to an additional $300,000.00 - $500,000.00 depending on hardware costs, instillation costs, maintenance costs, etc.

You know i was going to write a long story about why you guys are misleading people but instead i will say this:

Give a man a 6 pack and bulging pecs, and throw away his shirt, "Oh he is a muscular hero"

Wow, way to overreact man... I wouldn't even have said anything if nightobeisance hadn't objected to my comment in the first place and made further questions afterwards. And what's up with all the assumptions? Just because you know a few pretentious doctors in the US, you think you magically know how things work in…

Asshole.

Ummm. Older Chinese culture had a concept of rebirth or at least being recreated into a new life because there was a time where there were quite a bit more Buddhists in china (But still not a lot as compared to India where it came from, or certain other eastern countries). The state denies this (like they do many…

Paper money has not been backed by gold in most of the world since decades ago because it would artificially increase the value of gold and make it just as susceptible to inflation and deflation as regular money.

Simplistic much? The fact of the matter is that, as a registered copyright, the owner of the material can impose restrictions on his material that don't constitute fair use, or not. Given that prosecuting all websites that have Nyan Cat on them and draw revenue through banners and ads would not only be a ridiculous…

As a copyright holder he also has a bit of obligation to follow up on it to defend his product. Honestly the production company SHOULD have contacted and gained permission from both cat meme owners if they were going to include them, it was a poor oversight on the part of their legal department. At the very least…

What you fail to realize (probably because you are an asshole) is this applies to each and every single group of people (especially geeks , nerds, enthusiasts towards a specific thing) which includes tens of millions of individuals.
