What about the trial was flawed and what was politically tainted?
The court applied law that the parent poster believes is unfair. Thus, only a court that ignored the law would be fair, in the mind of the parent poster.
Hijacked, don't reply to your critics with AC. It shows you up as the stooge you are!
Forged Alliance! Woot! Nothing like that moment when your Commander goes up in a flash of white mushroom cloud!
At least Blizzard isn't just rendering the same units in 3-D, they're coming up with some interesting looking new units. The protoss have a War of the Worlds looking Stalker unit, and the Terrans have a transforming Land/Air unit that could be alot of fun.
Guardians are also pretty useful, but they have to have cover against air attacks, and the brood war air to air mixed with a squad of hydras is prety effective. Guardians outreach turrets making them awesome for base decimation and ground unit thinning.
I loved watching my friend's teleport in a fleet of carriers, and watching them fall rather quickly, even though they had full shields, their armor had been reduced to rubble by my defilers that were burrowed a short distance from his base. Of course, this all depends on the player making sure his army targets the carriers, and not the drones (interceptors?) flying out of them.
Try re-reading my post, you fail at reading comprehension.
You fail at Starcraft comprehension. Most Zerg players only play to the rush aspect of Zerg. You would seem to fall into this category. However, the Zerg are very capable of lasting even the longest battles. One way is using the queen to put an eye out into enemy forces and a defiler's spell to slowly leech away health. The terrans and protoss may have simple brute strength at the top of thier tech trees, but the Zerg can be even more rewarding once you learn how to play to their strengths.
Man, I'm reaching back on this, I hope I got the names right... =P
The word "dance" is a human word, it means whatever humans want it to. Thus it doesn't matter what another species "thinks" - if we say they are dancing, then they are dancing.
Hmmm, I think I'll use that excuse the next time someone complains that I look like disjointed weedwacker.

Search youtube for "singing amazon", then scroll down until you see something like "kluklukan" in the title. Not much to see in the video, but it's a distinctive amazon voice, and the bird sings "Old McDonald", "Over the Rainbow" and a few others, albeit off-key. It's hilarious the first few times, but then you begin to wonder how the owner retains any sense of sanity...
As to parrots dancing, I doubt this comes as much of a surprise to most long-time owners of such birds. They are very observant and imitative, and it doesn't take much to get them responding to whatever they hear.
They also play nasty tricks...
A fellow bird owner related to me that they had an ecluctus, who knew all the family names, and received much attention from the 10 year old son. The family added a cockatoo which became the son's new favorite pet. After awhile of this, the son came home from school one day, lay down on the couch and fell asleep. The ecluctus took this opportunity to climb out of his cage, run across the floor, climb up onto the couch and onto the boy. Once there he bit him on the nose (not enough to draw blood) and started saying "Bad Bird! Bad Bird!" mixing his name in with bird a few times. Just about scared the poor kid into soiling his pants...
They can sleep in on Saturday, provided thier cage is covered. Mine likes to sit on my shoulder, pick at my ears and hair while making cute little noises and crapping all over my favorite shirts.
I have a Bare-Eyed Cockatoo, and he dances constantly...I take him in the shower with me about once a week, and encourage him to shake off before I take him out of the shower stall by telling him to "shake your little white booty" and singing a bit of KC and the Sunshine Band.
Bare-Eyed Cockatoos are awesome birds, but bare-assed you was hardly what I wanted an image of this early in the morning.
Is that Sun using SPARC or x86? Can it also predict the future?
It can predict that if it squawks long enough and loud enough, that you're going to get it a piece of mango...
Makes me want to get a parrot, but I don't think it would mix well with my cat.
Depends on the cat. If your cat gets excited when it hears a bird, then probably not. However the bigger the bird you get, the less likely the cat is going to be to mess with it. Cockatoos can sever a cat's tail if they want to, and the cat is typically smart enough to realize that after a few supervised encounters.
However, I believe an elephant would be a poor choice of dance partner, because when that gray old lady steps on your feet, it is really gonna hurt!
You just have to treat it like a mosh pit. If you go there, you have to expect to exit with an injury. Or flattened limb.
Wait... you expect people to actually RTFA? You're new here, aren't you?
Not new, just stubborn and grumpy. =D

I've kept birds for a number of years and I can say that you can guess but you never really know for certain just how smart they are, except maybe to say "probably more than you think".
Too true. At times, you may think you're training your bird, however, the reverse is true. How many times I've found myself acting like a spastic retard trying to get my brid to do something entertaining...*bows head in shame*
Which animals are those? Oregon zoo has concerts close too the elephant pens. Zoo workers their claim the elephants do dance to the music. So are the 3 animals humans, parrots, and elephants, or what?
This is where reading the full article pays off. The answer is in there lazy one.
You don't say "thanks" when someone infects you with a catchy song, you say "Domo Arigato, Mr Roboto"! Turn-about is fair play.

I've got a Sun Conure, which happens to be the same bird in the picture in the summary. He's only 5 months old, so he's not all out dancing, but he does seem to be starting to respond to music, as he'll start to bob his head in time for a few seconds at a time. Search youtube for kimba's song, and you can see the Sun Conure groovin to a performing beatboxer.
I bought the Logitech MX5000 about a year and a half ago from *sniff* Circuit City. Moves reliably, I could even play FPS with it, but a wired gaming mouse is just that much faster and more accurate. But for non-gaming it was perfect. It advertised 60 ft range, and didn't seem to have any trouble doing that. Mouse still has a pretty long battery life, and the charging cradle is nice. I did have some bluetooth connection dropping, but ONLY whtn playing games. Of course, that was when it was the most annoying =D. I have since setup another computer for gaming, and the bluetooth is setup on my HTPC in the living room, and the mouse and keyboard are matched perfectly there. The bluetooth range has beat everything else I've seen in a proprietary wireless solution, and thats one of the main reasons I bought it. PC on the TV without a pair of cords between me and the computer. Gaming capable, but not recommended. The MX5500 looks good, but haven't touched that one.
