In case you haven't heard, the entire history of computer technology has been copying and adding to someone else's idea.
Yeah, but most companies do it in a timely manner, not decades after the fact. This is akin to a cell phone company 20 years from now releasing their first touchscreen phone.
They tried to make h.264 part of the standard. Instead they settled on nothing at all. What good is a standard embedded video tag if there is no standard coded with which to play with it?
"GIF is also patented format and had an uproar before as they required license fees from applications that output GIF."
And that's exactly why PNG was added to web standards.
Fences playgrounds are indeed nothing out of the ordinary. But they didn't fence in the playground, they fenced in a portion of it and locked the autistic kids inside. That is quite out of the ordinary.
I thought that was limited to 100 devices. I suppose you could re-upload a new binary every 100 downloads, though. Are there any automated tools that do that, or did they remove/raise the limit?
This man should be charged with child endangerment so that people take their Second Amendment Rights seriously and responsibly should they choose to exercise them.
Why the man? The mom was three feet from the kid when she shot herself. Perhaps the man thought the wife was keeping an eye on the kid.
If there *had* been someone in the house that he didn't see, he's just handed them a free deadly weapon with which to kill him.
You watch way too many movies. If someone breaks into your home with the intention to kill you, chances are they already have a gun. If killing you wasn't their intention, they're not going to stick around once you turn the lights on and look around the house. If they are hiding in the house, they're going to get the hell out of there the first chance they get.
Of course. When you can't win, you shouldn't sue. Otherwise, why wouldn't you? Sony sure as hell wouldn't hesitate to sue someone if they thought they would win.

The next record-breaking one they're building is the Extremely Large Telescope. Seriously.

Well it is leaking an enormous amount of radiation.
Beorn will probably get cut like Tom Bombadil did.
Well, I'm glad we have a final solution to the autism problem. Maybe now the rest of the kids can concentrate.

A bike is easier to use/maintain/update/secure than a car is, yet my grandma can drive just fine.

Good. Lard just plain tastes better.
You do have to undergo a criminal background check to buy firearms.
Only if you buy from a firearms dealer. Private sales require no background check or waiting period.
That's a robbery, not a burglary. People don't break into homes with fake guns with the intention of holding up the home owner.
Firearms license? God, I'm glad I live in Arizona.

A lack of remorse is often used as a reason for harsher punishment, why shouldn't feeling remorse be a reason for lesser punishment?
No, the reason you shouldn't sue is that suing someone because they pissed you off makes you an asshat.
Correction: A rich asshat.
Instead of solving problems like civilized people everyone sues right and left
How do two parties in disagreement over financial liability solve things in your country?
And sometimes they shouldn't.
Of course. When you can't win, you shouldn't sue. Otherwise, why wouldn't you? Sony sure as hell wouldn't hesitate to sue someone if they thought they would win.
Sometimes bugs happen.
And sometimes they lead to lawsuits.
The break-even time for nuclear is over a decade,
And it gets worse with every plant we build.
Greece did not ask for nor will they accept a bailout.
If you want to play HD on a netbook, just don't encode it in h.264. It may be great for file size, but the hardware requirements are ridiculous.
This would be like holding a civil engineer responsible when a terrorist blows up a bridge.
It's more akin to holding a civil engineer responsible when your bomb-proof room blows up.
