I believe you and the GP are in agreement about that (he's complaining about the use of "[sic]", which seems to imply that the editor thought it should have been "have" or something).
Bilski says "machine or physical transformation". The word "physical", combined with the ambiguity of the U.S.C. that you quoted, means the courts may indeed be the arena.
Not because "if you don't do this, the sky will fall". The government sounds more like Chicken Little every day.
It's positive feedback: Gov't:Do X or else Y! Most people:OK! A few people:No! Everyone:Hey, Y didn't happen! Gov't:Do Z or else W! Some people:OK! Some people:No! etc.
Does this also count, if the "skeptics" do not use science to make their case, are given media exposure much greater than their viewpoint is worth, and has funding that far exceeds the research funding of the real scientists?
I would interview the contractor with the bad deed personally and ask him about it. If it seemed to be pretty much over and done with, I'd flip a coin (unless there's some other difference between them you didn't tell me about) and hire one at random.

You sell me a box of electronics and wires. I use that box in a way you didn't intend. Somehow I'm in the wrong here?
Wonder if said computer can identify pictures of Schrödinger's cat?
Yes, they're all on wheels.

A bell curve has no upper/lower bounds.
Use tabs instead of windows. Tabs don't freeze like that.
The only current useful purpose for sending humans into space is to provide an exhibition of national bravado.
Emphasis added. At some point in the (near|distant|not-so-near) future we may want a colony on (the Moon|Mars|somewhere else).
Combo breaker!
Kindle sure sold a lot of models really fast... I don't think we can call ebook readers dead this early in the game.
I think they refer to organic as in compounds containing carbon:

<pedant>CO2 is not organic.</pedant>

Like this?
How is that worse? Are you a closet homophobe?
WOW is paid, presumably by credit card. Minors can acquire cards, but it is... nontrivial.
This is /. not YouTube! How could any sane person read the "Lunix" section with a straight face?
I went ahead and RTFA'd (I hate adding apostrophe's like that, but I didn't want to be misinterpreted) and the email address is right.
Possibly the /. effect, I'm seeing the same thing (but given the nature of the error, I would if it wasn't, so...).

That's not true of climate change "skeptics"

O RLY?
It's ~illegal to crucify someone in a reference (not really illegal, but stupid as hell). IANAL.
