I've never been able to understand why these type of cases (ones that will be appealed no matter what) aren't taken directly to the highest courts. It's a waste of time and money.

I once tried that, but it was very much problmatic as it left my eyes with nothing to do and conflicted with my usual aural distraction for (reading) fiction; listening to music.
Because not every computer can load six hundred and eighteen tabs? And that way you wont have to go back to the archives sixty times and right click or middle click 618 times?
I said 'open a bunch of the pages in tabs', not 'open them all in tabs'. And if you're going back to the archives 60 times for a comic with 618 pages, you're not opening them in bunches.
The thing is that you're going to have to click something 618 times, no matter which way you do it. I prefer to do the clicking in bursts of 30-60, giving me 30-60 strips of uninterrupted reading, temporary invulnerability to disconnections, and (in my experience) less time wasted on waiting for the pages to load.
You're missing instructions in your instruction set!
1. It's a three button combination (for Firefox anyway, ALT+SHIFT+P/N) which is not comfortable to use with one hand, and you have to press enter after that. Compare to just two buttons of CTRL+W and no subsequent enter press needed.
2. Most webcomics don't have accesskeys, whereas closing a tab works on (pretty much) every type of page.
3. I'd still have to wait for the page to load, whereas with tabs they'll be loaded in the background ahead of time.
Yeah, I'm being pedantic, but females actually have more genes than males. They don't lack the genes necessary to "grow a set", they have extra genes that prevent that from happening.
That, and turning pages and reading is faster than mindless clicking a next button that's never in quite the same spot.
And you call yourself a webcomic reader!? Anyone even halfway sensible will head to the archives and open a bunch of the pages in tabs, and then just CTRL+W for the next comic (which is faster than turning pages). The added benefit is that you have a buffer just in case you get disconnected.
More importantly, xkcd belongs to the advanced class of webcomics that put the movement links both above and below the comic, which means that the next link will be in the same spot unless you need to scroll.
From what I've seen (which is, admittedly, only a couple of youtube videos), BigDog seems much more capable of coping with unforeseen events, whereas ASIMO looks like it only needs one variable to be slightly outside of expected range and it'll fall flat on its face. And possibly explode.
And where do you need to go in order to get one? A webpage!
Also, we're still talking about nerds (unless the year of the linux desktop happens while I wasn't looking). A great many don't put pretty ladies on their desktop. They keep them well hidden in other folders.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with the concept, but people can lie on the internet. Also, proxies.

Georgian.
And I'm sure they'd like you to believe it's just a single blogger.
Perhaps they don't know who he is.

What's wrong with RISC? :D

Seriously, why would I use them?
I actually thought you were correct, when I read your reply.
So did I when I wrote it :D.
Okay, you win.

Hell, some people (myself included) would say that the path is much more important than the destination.
or a testicle or two [I'll leave a line to your imagination...]
Spaceballs!
Yeah, but ASIMO doesn't need to be kicked in order to fall down. All it needs is a somewhat uneven or slippery surface.
I thought the old mecha trick was to have rocket engines built into their feet.

The only type of copy protection that won't be cracked is the one protecting something nobody gives a shit about.
It's one of the funky qualities of AC.
The difference being that sea-worthy steamers, scud-missile launchers and crude nuclear weapons are all existing technology.
Also, $100,000,000,000 for an inertial damper? Man, they're going cheap these days.
So... purists are pessimists and pragmatists are optimists?
Yes, the ones that have never programmed anything other than "Hello World!".
I'm having trouble understanding the story. Could someone make a car analogy please?

Basically they want me to run a data centre for them I'd expect *at least* $1000 a month.
No, they want you to run a small fraction of a data center.
If by "nothing" you mean "being able to download movies and music legally", then yeah.
