If a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Some argue it does not, since sound is. An interpretation of pressure waves in a particular frequency range.

I personally believe it's still sound. Even if it's not heard, it can be recorded and replayed, therefore any time there are pressure waves within specific range they should be considered sound. If you play music on the radio and nobody is listening, it makes a sound, but if you transmit it only using AM/FM it does not make a sound.

Having this definition down, yes, it must have been one Hell of a bang, but so what?

    Because it's faster to speak than type, but reading is more practical than listening, especially if taking information is your main focus.

    It's scannable, easier to read and reread selectively important parts, and listening to code is not useful.

    I remember saying video on youtube, a guy said his Toyota doesn't recognize his face in sunglasses and shows persistent warning message on the screen. I don't remember details, but possible that adaptive cc won't work, or you can't use infotainment due to the persistent message.

    For women, its fairy easy, go to a sperm bank, pick your choice, get the procedure done and you are on your way.

    That's a bit of an over simplification. There's 40 of pregnancy and birth. Also caring for a newborn is very difficult. You may be better off trying to adopt.

    Theft is if you take something away and they lose it. This is more of a licensing issue.

    All the company is deprived of is revenue, at least that's what they think, assuming everyone downloading their content for free would otherwise pay for it.
