Why is this surprising? Open access, which most scientists support in principle, is not the same as open source. It's about making sure that research outputs (particularly those that are government-funded) are made available for everyone to read, not just those with an expensive subscription. Access to that knowledge support innovation. It doesn't mean being able to reuse the original material however you like.
Nitpicky point, but Steam figures should never be used to represent the whole consumer market. Gamers are more likely to have new rigs or want to play games that already don't support XP. I suspect XP users a more likely to be users with simple needs who have a system that works for them and don't want to chance. For that matter, Photoshop isn't likely to sway them either. Google Apps maybe, if it includes Gmail -- but damn if that doesn't miss the point of using webmail in the first place.
The difference here is that you won't be required to make a new purchase. Many UK retailers will also dispose of your old stuff free if you buy something, although they're not required to.
I've read articles about this job before, but those reported on centres in the US where employees are given counselling to cope with the job. Is Facebook avoiding this moral duty by farming it out abroad?
Yes, but the question is where does the stupidity lie? Is it in naively blasting out radar signals, or in not properly shielding your sensitive spacecraft? Probably both, but I'd favour the latter, since they know such possibilities exist.
Bacteria on the continent are allowed a little antibiotics with meals even at a young age, so they grow up with a much more mature attitude towards it. That's why they're much better at handling antibiotics than British and American bacteria.
I've used OSX and a few Linux flavours. I still prefer Windows. There's an underlying assumption in the question that everyone's secretly yearning to get away, which is silly.

I hadn't noticed a difference.

But you're not expected to read them all before becoming a citizen.

If you follow the link, you'll see that was mentioned at the time.
That's exactly what's happening: "Costs will be met by the winner of a spectrum auction later this year."
We've known this since February.
Screw Jesus. I want Noah. Praise be Noah!
Does it use Vim or Emacs?
Warfare? Who'd go to war when they had a hoverboard at home?
They also invented talking cars.

You have to click through a lot of links to get there, but the PDF of his dissertation is online at his university's website: http://repository.tudelft.nl/assets/uuid:2f66fe0c-4080-4148-a01c-acd530160797/Report_BSc_complete.pdf
Never mind RDF. What's 'sport'?
Maximum sentence 70 years, so no, not necessarily.
That's not what TFA says.

But I've never understood why the DECTalk voice can't be replicated in software. There must be someone capable and willing to do it for the publicity.
Well he had kids, so not exactly...
And 70 years later we have sponsors on Slashdot. Did we really win the war? Did we?
Hah. I saw this headline and immediately thought the same thing.
In my feed reader this read as "Google Employees are Receiving Ice Cream". No wonder everyone wants to work for them.
