You're wrong. Articles about the cables like this one appeared months before the women even talked to the police. The three months after was just when they started releasing the cables.
You mean Mozilla, which started out with a huge monolithical suite and eventually separated them into individual applications? Mozilla, whose browser is using significantly less memory than an year ago[1]? No, not like Mozilla.
But copyright only matters if you copy the actual bytes, while patents apply even if you implement it from scratch and have never seen the patented invention before. Its reach is much wider and protection against infringing them is much, much more difficult to achieve, since you can infringe without even knowing.
Unfortunately, at least the first two don't work for 90% of the world population, including my (European) country. So yeah, it'd be more convenient, if it existed at all.
Maybe you could try reading the whole report. I just posted the summary.
And no, I (not "Atheists", we're not a club) didn't know the concept of "sola scriptura". I'm from a Catholic country, where such concept isn't well known. That said, I wasn't trying to claim that all those lines refered to the Bible.
I (and Carlin) said Religion, not the Bible. If you think that churches are teaching the Bible, you're sorely mistaken.
More than four-in-ten Catholics in the United States (45%) do not know that their church teaches that the bread and wine used in Communion do not merely symbolize but actually become the body and blood of Christ. About half of Protestants (53%) cannot correctly identify Martin Luther as the person whose writings and actions inspired the Protestant Reformation, which made their religion a separate branch of Christianity. Roughly four-in-ten Jews (43%) do not recognize that Maimonides, one of the most venerated rabbis in history, was Jewish.
When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!
I can understand posting important political stories. But Obama vs Bieber on Klout? Are you serious?
Klout is a terrible company, nothing more than a money machine from extending high school style popularity to the web, based on idiotic metrics and raking profiles without people's consent.
Charlie Stross called them "the Internet equivalent of herpes" and that's exactly what they are. Lets not extend their influence further.
Just to clarify to other people: the Oatmeal guy isn't actually getting any money; it's going directly to the Tesla Science Center, a 503(c) non-profit organization: http://www.teslasciencecenter.org/about/
No, the BBC didn't have to. ICANN has created trademark protection mechanisms where any trademark owner, like the BBC or Audi, can object to the registration of any gTLD or domain that conflicts with their mark.
Murder is a question of perspective, though. For example, I know many people who would consider that last sentence to be completely incorrect since there are still some *cough* Western nations that practice capital punishment.
And it *is* special treatment because they aren't proposing one called.hetero are they?
"They" - by which I mean ICANN - aren't proposing anything; they're considering proposals from private individuals and companies. So if you feel that.hetero deserves a TLD, you're free to apply for it. There's no special treatment except in your mind.

It's spelled perjury.
Can you post the links to your story submissions, please?

You're not beholden to any particular supplier.
Neither are you with most readers, or even with Kindle if you use a freely available tool.
Neither Apple nor Amazon can remove the book from your house if they decide that releasing it was a mistake.
See above. Also: they're hardly the only e-reader suppliers.
What a waste. Those books in your "nice large library" could be being read by people if you donated them to an actual library.
But Google didn't own them at the time.
You might want to reduce the threshold there. I wasn't replying to that post, but to one by an AC.

And Obama was the most voted candidate. By your logic that makes him good, right?
Leaving Fox News aside, you're extremely naive if you think that popularity means integrity. If anything, theres an inverse correlation.

You're confusing the Christian doctrine to what Christians believe. I can tell you that they're extremely different for the most part.

How does that have anything to due to whether ICANN is giving special treatment to gay people, like glitch23 was saying?
Nope. Religion stills takes the cake.

You do know that ICANN has yet to accept any of those TLDs, right?
Yeah, let's keep the Internet free from censoring hellholes, especially ones that impose their rules on people in other countries.

No, Adobe is focusing on what they always did: making tools for developers. Flash as a viewer is irrelevant.
