    Is Copyright Infringement Morally Equivalent to Stealing?

    So you admit in your last statement that it's not immoral, despite the fact that it violates the law.

    I missed that part. In that case, I agree with Skyhunter.

    When your post gets deleted, do you get a warming or something?

    Because, I think one of my posts was deleted, by I didn't get any warnings or pm's. I don't even think that post was inappropriate. I guess some mod thought so, but how should I know that if I didn't get a warning? It seems silly to constantly check if any of your posts were deleted. Also, do...

    Did Debra Lafave's Appearance Influence Her House Arrest Sentence?

    Yes, I tend to agree. A 14-year-old is not a little kid. At least in some US states, people start driving at age 15, while the age of consent if typically 16-18. I think in some states, the age of consent is normally 16, but it's 18 if the other person is in a position of authority (like a...

    Speed of Reflected Light on a Rotating Plane Mirror

    The angular velocity of the mirror is 30*2*Pi/60 radians per second. Multiply this by 20 meters to get the velocity (in meters per second) of the endpoint of a rod which is 20 meters long and perpendicular to the mirror. The speed of the spot of light will be twice that, that is, if I understood...

    Could We Improve Our Alphabet by Streamlining It?

    I don't know. Somehow I don't find this topic particularly humorous.

    Famous physicists related to famous entertainers

    Um, the one you might have been able to guess from my screen name. Doesn't ring any bells? By the way, the ones people gave (were some of those just jokes?) are absolutely ridiculous compared to the one which I said is obvious. Two of those three aren't even blood relatives. Although the last...
