These issues (except DRM) have existed since the IMG tag was added. GIFs were patent-encumbered, some browsers didn't support PNG, then there's JPEG2000, etc.
The more likely factor at work here is that if 50 experiments are done by different organizations to test this same premise, the only one that gets published is the one with the newsworthy result. We don't know about the other 49 times that atheist packages were delivered equally well because who would ever report that?
T-Mobile's prepaid plan prices haven't changed noticeably in the couple of years I've been with them. They're not launching some new discount bait and switch plan, they're just trying to draw attention to the prepaid plans they've had all along by ceasing to offer the contract alternatives.
If someone could give me a copy of their Ford for free and still have their own too, there's no way I'd ever buy another Ford. Ford's market would be limited to whatever few super-rich people want to order completely custom car designs instead of using a copy.
Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is central to a Jedi's life, so you might say we're encouraged to love.
Saddam was not in the process of genocide. The war was about a decade late to save anyone from his last suppression of shia revolt, and there was no indication that he was posing much threat to his own people in 2003 given that the no fly zone was working.
Lights are such a microscopic part of your electricity that they can be ignored. Leave all your lights on 24/7/365 and you can more than make up the energy by turning your fridge up one degree.
I've been living comfortably on less than that in California, there's nothing tricky about it. I rent an apartment, utilities are more like $95/month ($50 broadband, $20 electric, $20 propane, $5 phone [pay as you go smartphones are practically free if you don't call much and use wifi for data]), and since I don't have a commute gas is only maybe $40/month. No need to build domes or eat ramen or rely on public transit or anything. In a cheaper area -- say the midwest, where rent could be ~30% cheaper -- the money will go even further.
Of course, if you have kids to support you'll need a lot more income.
China's no first strike policy pretty much takes them out of the MAD game, in that they promise to respond conventionally to conventional attacks and only use nukes against nuclear attacks.
I suspect most people will just move closer to where they work, unless the sale prices of electric cars are competitive. With a short commute, gas prices can double without affecting budgets significantly.
Nonetheless, we don't have the capability to go significantly faster than the voyager probes. Consider New Horizons -- designed to go as fast as possible to the furthest reaches of the solar system.

Google buys something innovative. Yahoo buys something that superficially resembles what google bought, with the innovation removed.
Mainly because they don't consider themselves Iraqi and US troops were occupying the rest of Iraq keeping it away from Kurdistan.
He gets a book deal and a bunch of wrongful death lawsuits.
Detecting water really is not a difficult thing for a computer-controlled car to do.
It's exactly equally likely to accidentally save us from the giant asteroid. But essentially zero likelihood of either, obviously.
What if you'd normally bring your own $1 lunch, but instead you've given a fancy $10 value "free" lunch, and then forced to pay $3 in tax on that?
So you never cared about the Opera interface and features, just about making sure websites fail to render correctly?
Across America east/west not north/south. Crossing the USA is crossing the whole continent. Easier to do it in Panama, of course.

Canonical isn't a U.S. company.

Relativistic effects would be negligible considering the speed of light is ~300,000 km/s. That's four orders of magnitude difference.
Actually debatably in the millions of dead, and at least in the hundreds of thousands: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War

Check this table for example: http://www.efficiencyvermont.com/for_my_home/ways-to-save-and-rebates/appliances/refrigerators/general_info/electric_usage_chart.aspx. Lighting is $2 per year on your electric bill. Putting effort into trying to turn lights off more is idiotic when there are so many much more helpful changes you can make to your electricity uses that will hinder your life less.

The sunlight is never as direct, no matter how long the hours.
Cutting poverty in half is no benefit? You mean the rich received no benefit.

Minimum wage workers don't pay any state income tax in California, so it makes zero difference to measuring poverty.
