Oooh handy! I was just trying to figure out how I'd get some people at my company to face the terrifying interface of LaTeX (seriously, it looks like an IDE). This could be very helpful.
+1 for this, IP issues are completely off the radar for most people. Copyright, patents, DRM, all probably less important than how carefully a candidate put his tie on in the grand scheme of an election.
I pretty much already covered the answer to this, it's because he's entertaining as hell to watch. If he were only writing reviews he probably would have faded into obscurity a decade or two ago.
James May actually does have the knowledge to be a technical authority, but unfortunately he's the most hardcore traditionalist not only out of the Top Gear crew, but out of any automotive journalist not writing for a classics mag.
If I had to pick one as the best journalist it would be Richard Hammond. He's by far the most open-minded and least biased of the three, decently entertaining to watch and writes good reviews too.
Jeremy Clarkson is the real-life Eric Cartman. Entertaining as hell to watch, you want to like him in a way, but he's still a gigantic asshole and terrible person.
Just personal bias. A lot of automotive journalists are not only conservative (and as such hate "green" stuff and especially Tesla who accepted money from the US government) but also hate the shit out of electric cars, basically because they're traditionalists.
No seriously. Thank you, Nadim Kobeissi, for using your media clout to bring the obvious to attention.
The world needs real Captain Obviouses. Chisel-jawed men with flashy capes and booming voices to land out of the sky and say what masses of experts already know but nobody has been listening to.
Every single one of those scientists is not only biased, but has a substantial conflict of interest. All of them are carbon-based lifeforms that will react negatively to a wide range of chemicals such as mercury, arsenic and practically every petrochemical in existence. The EPA should clear the entire regulatory panel and re-staff it with robots who will only take their charge from a power source that will not be disclosed to them. Ideally their finishes should also be solvent-resistant and UV-stable and their cooling system capacity should be generous.
Heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and floods — all are now more frequent and intense. We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science — and act before it's too late,' Obama added."
They *could* be just a freak coincidence...sure they probably aren't, but it's practically impossible to pin individual weather events, or even a pattern of weather events over the span of a decade or two, on global warming. If you toss around bullshit and FUD to support action on global warming you're becoming the enemy to beat the enemy, while simultaneously feeding into their conspiracy theories and jokes.

May not have been voluntary at all you know, the same thing happens with human birth sometimes...
Wow I thought you were a monster before, but now it seems that you think animals are non-sentient 8-(

Isn't this the same Iceland that was dedicated to radical government transparency and freedom of speech?
Guess Iceland isn't as cool as I thought.

You bet, just as easily as they forgot pre-New-Deal America.

There seems to be a fresh supply of "low-hanging fruit" in the JRE with every update...IE, Flash and Adobe Reader have all been bountiful as well.
Do ravers next! :D
Fixed number!? Only if the software is never updated.

Maybach owners don't drive them, they get driven in them.
The cheese at the end of the nozzle is exposed to air and dries out. Sealing the end of the cheese nozzle might help.
Have no more than 2 kids, encourage your neighbors to do the same, eventually the availability of resources will magically increase.
You realize this is a tiny lunatic fringe and that no government has come close to touching "tree hugger" philosophy with a 30-foot pole, right?
Who wants to fit a laser to a velociraptor?
Now my question is, why did nobody ask about fitting a laser to a megalodon?
Dey turk ur stalsheets!
It's a metaphor...with a silly name.
Bingo. Perhaps it isn't one emperor or the other who has no new clothes on. Perhaps everybody in the room is simply buck naked.

I always wondered how some countries got such wildly different names in other languages, Germany/Deutschland and Japan/Nippon being the strangest.
Actually I just found an article on the topic and those two are just the tip of the iceberg:

I would rather the DRM stay in Flash, Silverlight and other dying technologies and refrain from tainting the HTML standard.
DRM has no place where technical competence exists.
