No, how on earth can the "memory part" go missing? They clearly don't want everybody to know what was on that memory. If, after close examination, they find out it is nothing that could remotely incriminate a politician, then it will magically "appear".
If you have over-abundance of light, why would you need extra absorption? That's needed when you have LESS light than the earthly average.
Also, this implies the planet's life evolved exactly like Earth's for billions of years, which is impossible.
>He said Pope Benedict XVI believed "wholeheartedly" in the practice of exorcism.
Well of course, demons are part of the christian cosmology. I think it would be very strange if Benedict did no believe in exorcism. It's like not believing in Jesus's resurrection.
If anyone is interested in exorcism, I recommend the books of Gabriele Amorth. He's an Italian exorcist, and although his work is not the official doctrine, it's still very interesting to read.

Yes I do think the US has no business in Libya. Your problem was 40 years ago, I'm sorry but "40 years ago" is closer to the domain of History than of Politics. They bombed Americans, America retaliated, and the thing was settled. If you believe America needs to be the One and Only Savior of the world, then let me disagree. Libya is on other countries' sphere of influence: Italy, and France. I think it was a bad idea for America to join the operation for many reasons, primarily for it's worsening reputation.
This is the first time that a Peace Noble Prize Laureate leads a country into a military offensive. It's not good for Obama.
1) Not news for nerds, and definitely not something that matters.
2) Solved simply by not allowing strangers; make a list of allowed people and anyone not on the list stays on the street.
In developing countries the average cost of life is lower, but the average income is much lower. Where I live, Windows plus Office costs 2-3 average salaries. How can they seriously expect anyone to pay? Even those who can afford it find it morally unacceptable to waste so much money on software. You can get it for free and donate the money.
The problem is that the USA has no ID card like the rest of the world. In the USA that number is a magic key to do whatever you want. If I know your number I can do lots of nasty things over the internet and ruin your life. That's why Identity theft is so easy in America. The rest of the world works like this:
1) You turn X years old
2) You give the government your picture, fingerprints, etc, and the government gives you an ID card
3) You go to the bank to take a loan, and the bank is required to keep a photocopy of your ID
4) The identity thief goes to the bank with a fake ID (with the victim's data)
5) If the fake ID has the victim's picture/fingerprints, the clerk realizes it's another person and the thief is busted.
6) If the fake ID has the thief's picture/fingerprints and the bank wants the victim to pay up; just compare with the government database.
An ID card is practical for a number of reasons. For example, I don't know how it works in the USA, but here you need to prove your identity when you are going to vote. So you show your ID and you're done. If you don't have a passport, you can go to neighbouring countries with your ID. You sing up for anything, name & ID, and done, it's you and nobody can take it away.
A one-man effort is not going to work; and if it is, it will certainly take way more than one year to build a free open network. You need lots of intelligente people working hard, and once they have the design, they need an important amount of money; not just 500k.

Why do you expect 1/4th to be honest people? I wouldn't trust anybody.

Das ist lustig
The cacophony wouldn't have been so bad if they had used the Latin stem, LiberOffice, etc.
This story is based on a Social Science Research Council report.
The said report has already been extensively debated on Slashdot here and here.

I dont get it
It was going to be France, UK and Italy, but for some reason the US did not want to miss the party.

This is a dupe, links to an article that links to a study that has already been posted here: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/03/07/180210/Piracy-In-Developing-Countries-Driven-By-High-Prices
Basically, music and software are priced to USA's average wage. Since the cost of life in other places is lower, and wages are lower, then it becomes prohibitively costly. Hence piracy.
It's obvious, isn't it?
"We are the good guys, everything we do is good. They are the bad guys, everything they do is wrong"
It applies to both sides.
Implying any company owns them. Which is not the case.
Problem is, Brazil and Russia are not owned by american corporations.

Eschil, Euripides, Sophocles. This is old as man itself.
One thousand ads for a shitty article, half of which is Ubuntu's history and not actual information.
I wonder why is this map so similar to the united states population density.
