The actual article (Journal of Theoretical Biology, 233, p589-599 "Engineers have more sons, nurses have more daughters: an evolutionary psychological extension of Baron-Cohen's extreme male brain theory of autism" by Satoshi Kanazawa [lse.ac.uk] and Griet Vandermassen [ugent.be]
Hey! isn't that the Baron-Cohen who's some relative of Sacha, the Ali G. actor ?
If I, as an EU citizen can got to France and buy a CD cheaper than I can in the UK, then equally I have the right to buy that CD on-line from a French on-line retailer at the same price as a French citizen and equally I have the right to buy a service, i.e. download an MP3 file, at the same price as a FRench citizen. THis is the whole point of the single european market. If this doesnlt suit the record companies and their busines(licensing) model (I don't give a fuck about what they think about "licensing") then the result of this lawsuit is that the the pigopolists have to change their licensing mode; or stop doing business in the EU, which somehow I can't quite see happening.
That sounds to me like a win-for-me situation, which, as a consumer, is all I care about.
We have often been told in the UK that we are in danger of becoming the 51st state of the USA. When I read stories like this and the way that US politicians are starting to micormanager then I think that the USA is in danger of becoming the 41st County of England
Hey gangofwolves, you and lostwanderer147 really should get on the phone to NASA and sort them out. They are obviously missing a couple of shit-hot rocket scientists like you two.
"We do believe our dorm lounge is probably the coolest in the world."
This makes those of us who listened to the likes The Clash and Elvis Costello at college snigger so hard that snot comes out of our noses and onto our suits.
Apart from your figures being total bollcoks and probably made up either by you or someone with an agenda. We get much longer holidays and work far less hours so...
It's interesting that "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" is described as controversial by the submitter but "Oliver Twist" isn't.
I think that tells us something, although I'm not sure exactly what it is, yet.
I think you would find that the reason that they were not summarily executed was that they would be able to provide useful intelligence information, rather than any ethical or legal reason.
I can think of lots of things that haven't "had their day in court". Mainly because they are very clear, unambiguous and rock solid. Just like the GPL.
My first reaction to the name Stacey is.."woman" but then I remember.. Stacey Brown got Two, as the late great Shel Silverstein informed us, and all is clear.

"Same laws of physics should apply I think?"
I think that you don't unerstand the laws of physics, anyway, judging by what you write.
Any explanation of why you're questions are totally wrong would be a waste of time as you wouldn't understand it.
You could start off by by learning about Newstons laws of motion.

Respeck!!!!!
Of course it does. It's just that as you get older what you consider cool is a lot different to what you consider cool when you are younger.
I could explain it in a lot more detail to to you but that wouldn't be cool. As any oldie will tell you.
You think you have it bad with Enderle. We in the the UK have to put up with Professor Kevin Warwick aka Captain Cyborg http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/17/captain_cy borg_health_warning
Bollocks!

He'd certainly be swimming the long way round if he was to be attacked by killer penguins. Unless he swims through a zoo !
or even better, as in :
"Yer scouse git!"
as used regulary by Alf Garnett about Tony Blair's father-in-law.

He's not a professor, he's a performance artist
Speaking as a performance artist, he gives performance artists a bad name too.

Hey! Whoever modded me troll.
You'll soon be able to have me arrested for saying that in the UK, that should make you happy !
"evolution is still news to some individuals of our species"
....
i.e. the ones who haven't yet evolved
No we did not Knight Bill Gates. Tony Bliar did it.
Yes, yes, yes, I know that strictly speaking the Queen does it on the advice of the PM but we all know how it really works.
I think you would find that the reason that they were not summarily executed was that they would be able to provide useful intelligence information, rather than any ethical or legal reason.
....imagine a Beowulf cluster of Don Knuths.....
So, it's a bit like software development. then?

Argument from authority is a well know logical fallacy.
Who's to say it won't be:

For someone who thinks they can spout off on legal matters you seem to have problems differentiating between a lawsuit and a criminal prosecution.
