For example, so long as Google's servers are hosted in the US, the only thing France could do is block their country from accessing Google's servers, and that isn't going to happen.
By making their business services available to (and engaging in business with) French citizens, they have opened themselves to the jurisdiction of the French courts. It is irrelevant where their servers are located.
I think it would depend on the location of the servers which gave out the information.
Google has business contracts and other dealings with French citizens. It provides advertising services to French citizens. It is afforded the benefits of France through its business dealings.
That's the problem with operating a business on a global scale, you've suddenly opened the door to legal action almost anywhere. Similar problems arose when our economy shifted from largely intrastate to interstate.
You missed the point entirely. Google is allowing someone to buy "Vuitton" as a search term, and then permitting their competition or "counterfeits" to be displayed when the trademarked term is searched.
Slashdot seems to be very U.S.-centric. Do you have any plans to be more international in your scope? Slashdot is U.S.-centric. We readily admit this, and really don't see it as a problem. Slashdot is run by Americans, after all, and the vast majority of our readership is in the U.S. We're certainly not opposed to doing more international stories, but we don't have any formal plans for making that happen. All we can really tell you is that if you're outside the U.S. and you have news, submit it, and if it looks interesting, we'll post it.
It is worth noting that there is a Japanese Slashdot run by VA Japan. While we helped them a little in their early days, they essentially run their own content without any real involvement from us... none of us can read Kanji! There are currently no plans to do other language or nation specific Slashdot sites.
I'd have thought the mass-marketing of home theater would have offered larger profits on more sales, without competing on miniaturization R&D.
I would definitely not recommend any of these for a home theatre or television replacement. You can a much better quality picture for about the same price in a television over a projector.
The image quality is horrible compared to other possibilities.
Now, if you don't pay the employees while they wait for their machines to boot...
Your claim is based on the assumption that employees will just sit there and do nothing for the 5 minutes they wait for their computer to start up.
Odds are they'll waste the same amount of time per day doing nothing product whether or not they have to wait for their computer to start up. There are probably many other things they could do while waiting.
The amusing thing about the other phrases used is that they don't contain a direct identifying phrase like "liberal." Instead they use seemingly generic adjectives to achieve an (unexpected) and amusing result.

You are completely ignorant of the basics of English, so your comment has been ignored.
I bothered to read up a little more and came across this abstract discussing the waste output from such reactors, and it seems that they actually produce more waste than the current type of reactor in use.
Does it still produce radioactive waste? My qualms regarding nuclear energy are more about the unavoidable byproducts and how to deal with them than the risk of a meltdown. I imagine most of us "tree huggers" have a similar point of view.
I'm really getting tired of the argument "why spend time/money on X when Y is more important?"
Please stop using these Red Herring arguments, they serve no purpose, and even someone with a mediocre concept of argumentation can recognize the fallacy.
They do it for the same reason that you try to kill the other team; the satisfaction in knowing that somewhere someone is screaming your name out in frustration while they bang their fists/head on their desk repeatedly.
You have rights to what those 1s and 0s represent in your bank account; however, as most MMORPG licenses state, your only right is to play the game, and simply because you control a character that has certain items does not give you any actual rights over those items or what they represent.
Should a burglar get a longer sentence for using a glass cutter to break into your house instead of smashing the window in with a baseball bat? The tool is irrelevant.
Actually, most states have laws that make the use or possession of "burglar's tools" while commiting what would normally be misdemeanor burglarly into a felony. So, yes, if you used a particular device whose purpose is breaking into buildings instead of a regular old baseball bat, you're facing a much harsher penalty.
I wouldn't even give the act credit for the short decrease, as it appears that the level of spam goes through series of decreases and increases but a pretty much overall linear increase in level.

If a French company transacts business in the United States, they can expect to be hauled to United States courts. The reverse is true as well.
You missed the point entirely. Google is allowing someone to buy "Vuitton" as a search term, and then permitting their competition or "counterfeits" to be displayed when the trademarked term is searched.
This has nothing to do with generic search terms.

while the rest of world stands parallelized.
I'm pretty sure the whole world stands parallelized, with perhaps the exception of "Cirque du Soleil."
what variety the database is -- e.g., MySQL?
Or the often forgetten, but still widely used database often known as "filing cabinets" where the entries are stored in "ink" on "paper."

Try "conservative elites in Washington, DC" and you get almost identical results. What's your point?

If you bothered to read my other reply to my comment you would realize that I corrected the spelling error ASAP after posting.
Just because you see it on TV doesn't make it true.
And just because you typed "fake apollo missions" in Google and it returned results full of (false) information doesn't make it true either.

The only way we will ever convince the skeptics is to load them all up in a rocket and send them their. In fact, that sounds like a real good idea.

Can we store it in your backyard then?
