Haha what a noob judge. We will all have a good laugh at this judge's incompetence just as soon as we're done waiting in line for our mandatory irradiation and sexual molestation.

That's the dilemma right there. You see, environmentalists aren't usually the ones to trust a business to do the right thing on its own. Environmentalists aren't usually the ones to be content with "Yeah sure, just leave your stuff in that bin over there, we'll recycle for ya, we'll recycle it good". Environmentalists want certification programs, they want regulations and laws to encourage enrollment in these programs.
On the one hand, they can't have businesses just walk away from the certification programs "because we trust them". On the other hand, the MacBook is so shiny.

I find it quite plausible that it's the leading cause of death for women aged 15-24 in Israel.
Cancer and heart disease usually hit later in life.
Women much less prone to be murdered than men.
Traffic-related deaths in Israel are among the world's lowest.
Israel does not include war-related deaths in health statistics.

Baruch can't take his eyes off Bar Rafaeli's new underwear ad.
Bar Rafaeli, btw, is a good 5 lbs. above the 18.5 BMI cutoff adopted by the law.
Also, the law was passed two months ago.
Not quite suitable for a car analogy. You're not required to register your wifi routers with the State, and you don't have to be licensed to operate wifi routers. So there's no reason for the legal consequences of ownership and usege to be similar.
Yes, I would have accepted the plan. I'm also going to go out on a limb and say that had Palestinian leadership at the time had been free to act in the best interests of the Palestinians, they would have accepted too. But, they were not free to act. They were subject to a lot of pressure from Arab nations, and by many accounts weren't even seriously considering statehood but just looking to be absorbed by neighboring states.
When you say 56% land for 7% of the population it sure sounds bad. However, a huge chuck (almost half?) of the land designated for Jews is south of Beer-Sheba: Desertic, uninhabitable at the time and in fact very sparsely populated even to this day. As to population, Palestinians were not expecting any significant immigration, most of them were already established there. Whereas many more Jews were expected to arrive shortly. So 56% and 7% are meaningless numbers, even though technically correct. The only fairness to be contended here is the principle, is it fair for Palestinians to have to share the lands on which they are living with the people who were forcibly removed from those lands some 2000 years ago.
To clarify, I'm not criticizing Palestinians then or now. Just saying a solution (specifically a UN solution, as suggested by GP) can't be forced upon unwilling sides. Back then the Arabs were unwilling. Since '67 there's been plenty of unwillingness on the Israeli side. The road to peace is direct negotiations.
Fantastic idea! Let the UN solve it! Wait, what? They already did? 65 years ago? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Partition_Plan_for_Palestine
Well, damn those Israelis for pissing on the UN and rejecting the Partition Plan and waging war on innoc... Wait, what? The Israelis agreed to the Partition Plan? It was actually the Arabs who rejected it and started the war?
Well, of course the Arabs rejected the Partition Plan! It was an unfair plan that deprives the Palestinian People of their rightful lands and... Wait, what? The Partition Plan would have created a Palastinian State that's larger than the current Palastinian claims for statehood? Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas said having rejected the Partition Plan was a mistake he plans to fix?
It's true. The IOC is making a killing off their sweat. And the IOC is only getting greedier. But that doesn't make the athlete's effort any less honest or admirable. What can the athletes do about it? Occupy Olympic Village?
You're still thinking of athletes in places where corporate sponsorships are common. It's a big world out there, mostly poor. Most athletes aren't getting any richer from competing in the Olympics, they do it for love of the sport.
The athletes? Their families? Friends? Nations? In places where corporate sponsorships and performance-enchancing drugs aren't common, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to earn a place among the world's best. Hard work and dedication are still admired world-wide.
As far C-3PO knows, the binary load lifters story is true. Shortly after the conclusion of Episode III, C-3PO contracted the Tyrell Corporation to wipe its memory banks and implant the memories of another robot. C-3PO effectively has no recollection of Episodes I, II, or III. Lucky bastard.
So? Laws change unilaterally all the time too, it doesn't make them ex post facto. Only if the corporation takes action against a user over a violation of the new TOS that ocurred before the new TOS was instated (and agreed to by the user). Only then would it be ex post facto.
For cancer deaths, 1.6 million Americans out of 7.6 million people world-wide is about 21%.
For population, 310 million Americans out of 6.97 billion people world-wide is about 4.5%.
Do Americans die from cancer 4 times as much as everyone else? I heard Americans complain about their health-care system but 4 times is ridiculous. Either the WHO and NCI use very different methodologies for collecting data, or someone's just flat out wrong.

Parasites in nature aren't usually bigger, better politically connected and more powerful than their hosts.
Hence, it's inappropriate to name natural parasites after parasites of the human variety.

For Apple, sure. But for the iPhone-MacBook-iPad-owning-environmentalists this presents a dilemma (which I think will be hilarious to watch).
I don't think they'll be making money off /. page views.

much in the same way that a bat uses echolocation.
The bats didn't patent it, but you acknowledge their work.
