To be fair, there weren't exactly a whole lot of science back then. Plus much of the scientific knowledge in 1869 were available exclusively in Latin, hence the emphasis on the "dead language".
They debriefed their informant and recorded down what he said. It doesn't necessarily mean FBI actually believe the information provided. Under the FOIA you can't just destroy the document because the source wore a tin-foil hat.
Sony is just a company out of many. There are others who are far more important or evil...
There are still many murderers and rapists on the loose in the streets. Should the police just drop everything else and concentrate on the most evil crimes?
I may not agree with Anonymous' methods, but at least they're doing something instead of just complaining about how there are greater evils out there in the world.
They can get kicked out of the store, but they can't be arrested for trespassing. The "Open for business" sign in front of the store means the store is inviting the public to enter. It's not trespassing if you have been invited.

It's like an infinite number of monkeys on typewriters collaborated by working together to crowd source this open-source summary.
I think simply mentioning OSHW once is sufficient for the slashdot crowd, considering our familiarity with the topic.

Also keep in mind that a large number of google services do not make any money (as far as I can tell). For example google calendar and google scholar. Running these services only cost google a trivial amount of money.
Maybe I'm expecting too much, but that is a terrible search engine, just like most other airfare search engines on the internet. When I have a specific queries like "On which days is the fare cheapest between airport A and airport B in 2012?", or "graph out all 68808 combinations of departure and return dates in 2012 so that I can pick my travel dates visually" these online search engines are absolutely useless in answering them.
Most search sites do not let you search a date range, only specific dates. The rare sites that search nearby dates for you only search +- 15 days, instead of the +- 180 days that I want.
ITA provides the backend solutions to almost the entirety of the airline industry in North America. Almost every online airfare search engine and every travel agency utilize their software in some way. Google may be just another evil corporation, but they're one of the most competent corporations out there, so I'm glad about their new purchase.
As a fellow Canadian, I'm very interested in the source of your claim. Care to point to the relevant NAFTA article?
BTW, it's completely up to the discretion of the US Customs agent whether to permit you to enter their country or not. You could be denied entry for no reason at all. You will certainly be denied entry for refusing to hand over your computer. You don't have a right to enter US, it's a privilege.
Some dystopian states forces you to divulge the password. US doesn't have such draconian laws yet, but at the currently rate at which our civil liberties are getting eroded, I'd give it 10 more years. Or another Bush, whichever comes first.
No, it doesn't. Only congress has the power to declare war.
However armed with witty semantic tricks, we managed to start a "no-fly zone" instead of a "war", so it does not require congressional approval.
But then again this is nothing new. Congress never approved the Korean War or the Golf War (the first one) either. Both of those wars were started by UNSC resolutions much like the Libyan War.
I'd actually argue that what Obama did was worse. He denied my representatives in Washington any meaningful chance to weigh in on the decision to drag my country into it's third war. Bush never tried to do that.
Just read his post carefully. "I had to put little watermarks on about 400 images a year ago" Adding company logos unto product pictures before adding them into their website is well within a sysadmin's job description.

I'm just glad Microsoft didn't charge extra for this involuntary cloud computing client feature.
What we really need is to define encryption as a basic human right.
I wholeheartedly concur.
Unfortunately this won't happen anytime soon due to all the import and export restrictions.
Too bad the aliens removed him from Fox. Now we may never know the truth.
Just like how in most movies a 5.56x45mm round drops the alien invaders dead despite the fact they managed to survive a crash landing to Earth.

Did they get a chance to use green and blue yet?
I'm starting to think that we will never see those two alert levels being used.

More importantly, fight with your votes. Vote for politicians who promise to end warrantless searches and wiretapping. Oh wait...

See? There is change after all.
When I buy a car, I look at how good the car is. I don't look at the road to see whether it's the most popular car or not.
In fact, I would avoid the most popular models because they are more frequently targeted by carjackers.
It would be far easier to just guess it based on what is on the user's desk.
Well there you have it. Government mandated post-it notes.
So every time a joke is told the name of the author must be included as well?
Or is it taboo on slashdot to make a xkcd reference without linking to the comic itself?
Maybe even toilet paper.
I know you were just kidding, but look what google found.
