The last thing they want is the publicity of a court case. I'm not in the UK, but I would expect them to threaten and make noise but stop before they actually got to court.

You upgrade your word processor because the new version has some features you want/need. Or because people you work with keep sending you files that require the new version.
You upgrade your OS because the new version has some features you want/need. Or because some application you want/need requires the newer OS.
There is nothing in windows 7 related to launching and switching programs that is so much better than windows XP to be worth upgrading. And there's no new feature worth it either. And there's no user application that most people want that requires it.
It hard crashes far less often than 98SE did (ME is a figment of your imagination, that was just a bad dream).
Vista and 7 just haven't added anything to make it worth upgrading. I prefer Windows 7 to Windows XP, and my new laptop runs it. But not enough to install it on a machine that already runs XP.
XP was actually good enough - which is a disaster for a software company that wants upgrade dollars.
ALSO: "When one-half of the Legislatures of the Member States declare a Law unconstitutional, it shall be null and void from the moment of its enactment."
That's what the senate is for. That the states gave that up via the 17th amendment was their choice.
Burial and cremation services aren't just for soothing the family. They also dispose of the corpse.
Do you really think that unidentified "John Does" or identified bodies with no friends or family should just be piled up on the sidewalk to host disease?
You do realise there's an entire industry that deals with Cadavers, right? Fresh (and not so fresh) human corpses used for medical research, medical training, crash testing, and so on. Are they all wrong?
And the getus argument is stretching it, but you need to go further since you are really arguing that embryos are people.
Surprise surprise, things that don't really matter are easier to come to agreement on than things that are considered important and on which very different opinions are held.
A brushless motor is not a crystal being spun in an optical trap.
The world record for the 100m dash is 9.58 seconds. That an F16 could do it faster is irrelevant to that claim.
Of course why they chose to mention that, given it isn't using the same technique, is a mystery. But they never claimed that was some kind of general spinning speed record.
Sure if you filter on the bias of the author - which is far more likely to be done without a filter.
But if I decide I don't want to see articles about "The Kardasians" but I do want to see articles about "restaurants in Manhattan" and "the economy" and about "Federal politics", how is that going to going to turn me into a closed-minded bigot.
Yes a netflix style "you liked these articles so you'll like these" has that potential but simple category filters is a different ball game. Am I closed-minded bigot because I don't read the Sports section of the newspaper, because I don't read the Entertainment section, because I don't read the Local Happinings section?
If you had to wade through *every* article that google news had indexed then I'm sure everyone would give up and go back to just reading whichever primary sources they prefer. Likely ending up choosing ones that you agree with and hence being more likely to be closed-minded.
Of course some topics have built in bias, "Obama birth certificate" or "Jews did 9/11" for example.
Your betting on the announcement, so you are getting 10000% interest, in a day. Since obviously you make the announcement as soon as you have placed they bet.
The obvious flaw is that the bookie can't possibly pay out the winnings. Well unless China ans Japan would lay it I guess...
Do you think they'll take a bet of $150,000,000,000 (and be able to pay out the win)? Will they take a treasury note?
It's just an announcement, come on Obama have treasury place the bet and then make the announcement. Other than Fox news we'll all understand and choose to pretend you didn't say it.
Anyone who bets obviously thinks the real probability is better than that strongly enough to put their money where there mouth is - why is your unexplained estimate of the probability any better than theirs?
Microsoft is an American company. Hence, US export restrictions apply to Microsft Windows - irrespective of where you happen to be.
Microsoft can't export it, and others can't buy it from Microsoft and then export it to Iran without also violating US law. Now those non-US folk mightn't care about that (though once the US supplier finds out they can't keep legally keep supplying), but it does violate the licensing on the software from Microsoft and hence all copies of Microsoft Windows do not have valid licenses which makes them pirated software by definition.

Because they hopefully some expertise whereas the random guy who wants to leak something probably hasn't even heard any of the terms "proxy chain", "tor", or "4chan".
Because wikileaks claims to do some checking which will give the leak more weight than some random post to 4chan.
Because wikileaks has media contacts and can push the leaked data out to them, which would be very hard for most people to do anonymously.

No, we could see them if out eyes could pick up those, but we would never hear them.
So what?
It has never reached escape veolocity, so by the definition I was responding to isn't in space.
So hubble isn't in space? They really should give it a different name...

For very low values of something...
The antibiotics kill of bacteria that otherwise the animals immune system would have to deal with.
That immune system would use valuable energy that could instead be used to growing more meat.
Animals weren't DESIGNED in the first place.
Though I guess we are in the process of designing cows to eat corn, though it'd be faster if we used fewer antibiotics...
The article is about proposed regulation stuck in committee to stop it. So apparently it's news for you at least.

Amazing!
