The legal doctine in common law countries is Force Majeure. If something sufficiently big happens, all bets are off.
The other business doctrine is that a big company shall not bankrupt the organizations selling their products:
No sales companies = No salesmen = No sales.
I think this qualifies as "Cutting off the nose to spite the face."

So, who does Gpl-violation file suit against? In fact, if a law quotes you unattributed, doesn't that mean the government is somehow liable for copyright infringement?
This will be great stuff, until the big three get ahold of it and disable the "internet shape profile" and the "flip phone shape profile", and the "portable to another technically identical network shape profile"
Better yet... combine sugar, spice and everything nice (which is kind of hard to find now-a-days) and you have the power puff girls. With them around... who need these weapons.
US officials say that manufacturing Fogbank requires a solvent cleaning agent which is "extremely flammable" and "explosive" and that the process involves dealing with "toxic materials" hazardous to workers.
They need Brawndo.
Torgo's Executive Powder might come in handy, too.
The Illinois Supreme Court just declared the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics unconstitutional! Apparently it was brought on by a Ms. Eris Discordia appealing a conviction.
Illinois lawmakers are not expected to challenge the ruling.
Actually, your wrong slightly. They didn't pass the law, someone tried to pass a law saying PI was 3.2 but it failed to become a law.
And interestingly, the bill didn't actually say PI was 3.2 in those bold of terms. It attempted to compare the differences between a square and a circle and explain the differences in a way that you could determine the area and value of pi which when you worked the math out, came to 3.2.
Out of idle curiosity, what would they do to people who continued to use the 3.14... value? Throw them in jail?
Did I mention that they were arrogent and hubristic? AFAIK the only two honest politicians in the state are Durbin and Obama.
That wouldn't be the same Barack H Obama who got elected on the pledge that he would control earmarks, would it? Because the Obama I keep hearing that about happily signed into law a "stimulus" package that just ballooned the deficit and gave all sorts of money to worthy causes like "ACORN". That's not saying anything about the upcoming budget with ~8500 earmarks in it that he keeps promising to sign.
Is it the same one who consistently refuses to produce an authentic birth certificate to prove he's even constitutionally eligible to be president?
FYI: Black holes do not suck, either. They're pretty cool.
While temperature measurement of a black hole is bound to be a bit difficult, I'm willing to bet that by almost any measure they are hot rather than cool.
Of course, if you have things falling in, this stuff emits radiation like crazy, but only until it hits the event horizon. In other words, It gets really toasty outside the event horizon, but falls outside our discussion, by virtue of not being the black hole itself.
The event horizon is another story. It's a bit of a discontinuity in a lot of ways. If you assume the "trivial" solution of a nice, non-rotating black hole (the Schwarzschild solution), with nothing falling in, and nothing escaping, then this black hole would be perfectly black, in the literal zero black body radiation sense.
Now, inside the event horizon is a completely different matter. Let me dumbly apply some theory here, and let's assume ideal gas law applies. Since all of the matter is infinitely densely packed in the singularity (even if we assume it actually has some dimension, it would be Planck or smaller, most likely), then if we consider volume to be infinitely close to 0 (lim V->0) with a invariant amount of mass m (the mass of the black hole), then the pressure rises to infinity (lim p->infinity). Temperature is directly proportional to pressure, ergo, the temperature also goes to infinity (lim t->infinity).
Again, I've made some really silly assumptions that don't reflect the real world at all (probably all black holes rotate, ideal gas law isn't relativistic, infinite temperature implies infinite kinetic energy, doesn't consider the possibility of hawking radiation, etc). I did this to simplify the explanation, more than to be correct.
So, depending on how you look at it, a black hole is really both pretty hot shit and really cool!
As a former resident of Illinois, the politicians of Illinois are vastly more corrupt and dangerous than politicians from any other state I have lived in, with the notable exception of Mayor Roger C. Claar of Bolingbrook, every single Mayor, Judge, Governor, Senator and Secretary of State that I have met or knew of has been dangerously corrupt. Most notably, Mayor Richard Daley, who under cover of darkness, used the people's money to carve huge trenches in the people's runway at the people's airport of Meigs Field, stranding several aircraft owners and putting the airport's FBO out of business. However, there was also the Secratary of state George Ryan, who it was found was willing to just hand out CDL licenses, resulting in the death of 6 people in a crash in Wisconsin. His punishment was that they made him governor. Of course, he committed more crimes as governor and is now in jail. Then there is Senator Barack Obama, who only voted "present" on about 90% of the items brought before congress, and seems to have some kind of business relationship with a guest in our federal prisons buy the name of Tony Rezko. Apparently, Tony assisted in raising some funds for Barack's campaign and arranged for Barack to get a home at well under market price. Of course, there is the recent arrest of Governor Blagojevich. Of course, there's also Daniel Walker, Gus Savage, Jack Ryan, Lennington Small, and Otto Kerner.
The dumbest thing the people of the U.S. could ever do is elect someone from Illinois to the highest position of power in the world. Congratulations citizens, my recommendation is that you invest in KY Jelly. It will help ease the pain.
Yeah. I vote that Illinois also changes the definition of a mile and shortens it so that their residents can get more miles to the gallon!
They won't do this. If they did, they'd have to pay out more for the per-mileage reimbursement tax credit. And that would be bad for BlagojeviÄ's reelection campaign.
I also vote that they cut the definition of an hour down to 30mins to shorten my working day.
This won't work. They'll just work you for sixteen hours a day after getting the overtime watershed doubled to 80 hours a week.
This just proves that fact that politicians are freaking idiots.
You needed further proof?
I take exception to the fucking summary though. "Always on the lookout for more votes" sounds funny but fails to take note of the fact that in Illinois only the dead vote. Is Pluto covered with graveyards that we don't know about or something?
Exactly... It's the move to a more transparent govt. of course. No more need to file that silly Freedom of Information Act form. Everything will out in the open.
Silly citizen. FOIA doesn't apply to private entities. And if Google doesn't want to be transparent, well, no FOIA is going to make that happen.
It might also lower the barrier to the gov't strong-arming Google for personal information on the users.
Now, get back to work so you can pay your entire wage in taxes, komrade.
Does this have anything to do with the Led Zeppelin Song?
Yes. It will be played loudly in the lab as the experimentation is underway. They'll use the "Energy Waves" in the "Rock Bands" frequencies to rock our world with some new discoveries.

Isn't this the same IBM that a few years ago decided to patent the patenting process?
They need Brawndo.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the missing ingredient in making Fogbank was Butter?

Actually, there are several missing ingredients.
I figured I'd give everyone a heads up.

Depends on your definition of hot and cold.
Of course, if you have things falling in, this stuff emits radiation like crazy, but only until it hits the event horizon. In other words, It gets really toasty outside the event horizon, but falls outside our discussion, by virtue of not being the black hole itself.

Don't blame me. I voted against Obama.
Let's give Illinois to Canada.
Nah, let's just give them Chicagoland. Just about everyone south of I-80 and West of I-55 are sane and can't stand being dominated by Chicago.
Yeah. I vote that Illinois also changes the definition of a mile and shortens it so that their residents can get more miles to the gallon!
They won't do this. If they did, they'd have to pay out more for the per-mileage reimbursement tax credit. And that would be bad for BlagojeviÄ's reelection campaign.

Don't argue. There's already three astronomers at the bottom of Lake Michigan who "begged to differ." It's the Chicago way.
And they where at the Adler Planetarium right before that.
When did Adler Planetarium start selling concrete shoes?
This just proves that fact that politicians are freaking idiots.
