The vote had 30% turnout. ~50% voted to be annexed. Thus 15% of the population voted yes, but ~50% of the VOTE was for annexation.
Of course, going to go vote no while the russians are sitting around in your country with guns and amassed on the border couldn't be an easy decision.
The DMCA does not require that Flickr take the images down. Only that they respond appropriately to the DMCA takedown notice. A perfectly reasonable response would be to pass on that notification to the user, and allow them to challenge it BEFORE you take it down.
People have been forever. Shakespeare was a pirate. As were most playwrites of that age. They would literally sit in the audience and copy the play down as it was being performed.
That said, I leave my wifi router open as well, but if you're going to do it you have to do it knowing the risks. Being accused of kiddie porn, for instance, is going to stick with you forever, regardless of guilt or innocence.
And why shouldn't NASA, like practically everyone else, report to the electorate? We've all heard the "science first" routine and then seen the internal positioning and squabbling result in unbelievable cost overruns, a la Livermore and the DOE
Is this somehow better or worse than spending billions on W.'s launch vehicle only to have it scrapped and sent back to the drawing board by Obama?
NASA needs to be given autonomy... they need to be given a long term goal (a generic one like "set up a moon colony as a dry run for a mars colony, then get to Mars", or "set up a mining outpost in the asteroid belt") and then left alone to decide the best way to achieve that. Having every president wanting to leave their mark on outer space like Kenedy did is irresponsible and leaves them with ever changing goals and a rotating set of tools to do the job. We've changed what vehicles they're supposed to be using two or three times now since they declared the end of the space shuttle. At this rate, an American vessel may never lift an astronaut in to space again. That's not even bringing congressional funding issues in to the mix...
Seems that this just becomes the standard when you have a stranglehold on the market. Maximize global profits by squeezing every dime out of the rich countries while poorer nations are the wild west.
As far as I know, Android overtook iOS right before the verizon iPhone came out. I would imagine iOS has retaken the lead now that it is available on VZW. I would bet, though, that this is temporary.
Precedent can only be set by an appeals court or higher, not by the first level of courts.

It wouldn't matter.
The vacuum of space would not allow heat to transfer from the heat sinks to the air as it does in terrestrial environments, as there is nothing there for the heat to transfer to.

It's a big country. It's hard to organize properly.
But we're working on it.
Can anyone honestly pretend that information which has been leaked and posted on the internet still qualifies as classified?
Also, hasn't the Govt. ever heard of the streisand effect?

I get enough pun threads on Reddit. I come to slashdot because there's usually some semblance of intelligence.
The openness of Android is a big part of why Android has better marketshare than iOS, so maybe they shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
It can get you in to trouble

I'm pretty sure it's safe to presume they didn't use a typewriter to post to the message board.
The hobbit is being filmed in 3d? Ugh...
3d is a gimmic and it is helping to further ruin cinamatography. There are very few exceptions.

The censorship in Egypt proved him wrong. They shutdown the internet to local citizens completely, just by telling the ISPs to go offline.
Really, that's only half true.

This basically amounts to "now don't you do that again, Google!" I don't know why I'm constantly surprised by how infective our corporate oversite is.

I told my three year old to get a job, she said she wanted to be a My Little Pony. Utterly worthless, I tell you.
