Except religion isn't God, it is man's interpretation of man's text. Religion in the past had no problems admitting it was wrong. It is just a matter of convincing the masses of followers and figuring out what they were wrong about.
Unlike in Science, the masses typically don't accept a paper as end-all truth(unless we are talking Catholicism). It typically takes several groups to determine something is correct or wrong, and only followers of those groups end up agreeing. At least until the other groups reach the same conclusions.
And you haven't noticed the same, where all wars, conflicts, ignorance, conservatism, or other maladies are the sole result of religion, at least here on Slashdot. This is the first article I've read where something negative was attributed to athiesm... but it is hard to find an article that doesnt have some comments religion bashing.
One? Sure. I probably keep 50 of them, under various usernames. The hard part is remembering them all, without some easy to guess formula. That is why passwords are often reused, which is far more dangerous than password weakness.
Because RLP is lying to customers by trying to legally suppress judgements, say, where they were found to have exaggerated damages, by claiming reprting those was "defamation".
So RLP is serving defamation writs to consumer groups, then immediately and publicly defaming them, claiming they launched a malicious and organised internet smear campaign against RLP...
Also, pics-or-shens of the "death threats" RLP has "gotten".
Without paying rent, where would one live? As cynical as you are, you largely ignore the benefit of entrepreneurship, which is capital for "rent" payers to profit from. Money isn't free, after all. No matter how you want to use the term, it has never been used as a derogative in the way you suggest. They are simply a class of investors, nothing less.
The critical difference with patents is that there isn't a mechanism for competition. Patent trolls are effectively operating legal extortion. You can't opt out or use alternatives, but you can buy your way out of litigation.
I am not convinced there is a problem at all. The OP makes the mistake of homogeonizing the U.S., which might work for a small country like hers, but not for us. There is a protectionist culture in the northeast and far west, but no such shared culture in the Deep South or midwest, where many kids get just as much outdoors/rugged experienced as these Swiss kids do.
Also, I'm not sure why there is such a fascination for Europeans to try to prove why they are better than Americans. The only people listening are those into self-flagellation. Most Americans couldn't give a rat's ass about what other countries think, unless they are an economic or military superpower.
" Sabet is a U.S. citizen and a student at the University of Georgia but the iPad was to be a gift for a cousin living in Iran."
Sounds less like angst, and more like the Apple employee was doing what they should have done. Apple would be liable if they knowingly sold a iPad to someone about to break the export restrictions.
Answer to 1. Because it isn't a new product, it is just a tablet pc made thinner. 2. Because people are ignorant or forgetful.
Tablet pc's (tablets with keyboards/peripheral support, or laptops with touchscreens) have been around since at least 2007 when I bought my first one. Tablets are not new, and neither are their compromise forms. Capacitive screens are newer, but the rest is same-old.
The insurance company decides, and if you don't like the decisions, then the courts decide (at your expense). Nobody is in danger of dying from the fire in a pre-evacuation zone.
If you can find some that won't throw off the bullet balance (they have to be exactly symmetrical), don't add significant cost to a 3-5 cent/round.22 lr, won't be destroyed on impact when the bullet mushrooms, and can't be re-used from any jackass at a shooting range with a hand trowel.
The problem isn't the schools, it is the culture. The schools aren't the ones labeling kids good in STEM, nerds. That is a hard thing to do when the culture idolizes idiots and liars(sports and entertainment, pick your associations).
Take a look at where the best compression algorithms come. Almost all come from former Soviet bloc countries. India isn't surprising either, as many American companies have found out from outsourcing.
Or these results don't reflect anything about the quality of the programmers from a country, and rather the bias of who found out about the Code Jam (lots of everyday Joe programmers, vs those in-the-loop).

And the lie is obvious... :p

Botnets don't require you pay anything if you are the owner. This is certainly more expensive than renting botnet time.

Lies aren't illegal, just those on the internet. They could simply not serve in RI.

If Prometheus taught us anything, ingesting extraterrestrial materials leads to worms coming out of our eyes.
According to Creationists, the species now around are unchanged from back then, but we didn't have the same species then as we have now.
Everybody thinks they are an expert in love and in parenting. And they are wrong on both counts.

Even 40 miles out from D.C., it is hard to find land for less than 25-30,000/acre.
What a slap in the face... but one Oracle desperately needed.

No, it is still 6280 per person. The OP's result was correct, only writing 628b instead of 628m was incorrect.

Disregarding the Ancient Egyptians, Axum, et al.
Khan Acadamy and experimental charter schools would disagree. As would most people on slashdot that self taught far more than their teachers could.
