"Continued proceedings here would cost Microsoft a substantial sum of money for discovery and divert key personnel from full-time tasks," said Charles Wright, an attorney for Microsoft
How is that not acceptable? If they labeled systems misleadingly then they should be paying to help clean up the mess they caused.
Okay, so Stephen Baxter came up with this idea already. Read _Vacuum Diagrams_. His idea is basically that since we can interact gravitationally, that will likely form the basis for contact.
Let's be very clear. Except when it comes to reminding people of Microsoft's shady actions in support of OOXML.
Did anyone else notice that the guy got a trip to Redmond from Microsoft?
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIGO:
Gravitational waves were indirectly confirmed to exist when observations were made of the binary pulsar PSR 1913+16, for which the Nobel Prize was awarded to Hulse and Taylor in 1993.
The orbit has evolved since the binary system was initially discovered, in precise agreement with the loss of energy due to gravitational waves predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. I'm no physicist either but this seems to cover your question.
I think this quote says quite a lot: "We want to make sure our data is kept between our users and our servers."
"Our data"? Is that even a legal position to take? It's sure as hell not intuitively obvious that they should be able to consider data theirs just because they're the ones who keep track of it.
You hit the nail on the head, sir or madam. (It surely has nothing to do with the ranking and long-distance power of the Internet, or with Facebook's convenience.)
It is understood by most people with a good command of English that "America invented X," while imprecise and therefore technically inaccurate, is understood to mean the same as "an American or Americans invented X."

What's important is not his name. What's important is that everyone loved Crisco.
I'm not going to say anything about the rest.
The other half is trying to forget...
William Penn.
Nah. Juries can also decide that they won't convict regardless of the facts. It's called jury nullification.
Ladies and gentlemen, calm down. The guy will never post on /. again... as soon as I figure out his password.
Right now I'm on aaaaaaaaaaabaaaaa.
I'm running Beta 2 right now, and... yes, I think they fixed it.
Hmm, I doubt that. Ender's Game probably still sells very well.
That's right!
I can't. Maybe that guy can. It's a fascinating conundrum.

Not when you're facing an animal that typically wields high-powered rifles and mechanized transport, and hunts in packs.

Try searching for 'proprioception.' /. had an article a while back, too.
Turns out you can actually peel paint with just an LED flashlight and the lens from a DVD burner. The future is now!
And from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSR_1913%2B16 :

No, no, that's why he tells them not to lie. (The robots in TFA received no such instructions.) Second Law compulsion is thus in effect!
We're allowed to reject Brian Herbert's books as non-canon? Mod parent up Informative and thank you kindly, sir!
Oh God, it's been so long since a really good place to use that meme. I think this is it.
Compared to the average man on the street? Very fast.
Compared to the average Olympian? Not even close. There are many, many runners faster than him. He has no hope of a medal. A lot of these people (http://iaaf.org/statistics/toplists/inout=O/ageGroup=N/season=2007/gender=M/discipline=400/legal=A/index.html) would wipe the floor with him. He hasn't even met the minimum standard to compete in the Olympics or World Championships yet!
