Yes, but the popular translations don't use the term. They translate it literally, or as close as can be made understandable, so you end up with something like 'anyone who has sex with an animal.'
Either a joke, or a false DNS result. It might have just been a glitch during testing of the new root servers, while they are still being configured, or it may be that his ISP is (ineptly) censoring all.xxx domains.
Universal time would actually become completly unuseable, because the duration of rotation differs. More realistically the planets would use the same time units, but introduce a fudge factor. If the day is a little too long there, for example, all clocks may stop at midnight and restart the appropriate amount of time later. Or if it's a little too short, the final hour of the say might have fewer than sixty minutes in it. Alternatively, they may dispense with subdividing the day and just count it as 'minutes since midnight.'
It only means no shadows if you are on the point of the earth's surface closest to the sun. That can only happen in the tropics, and even then only at a specific latitude that varies throughout the year.
Originally the different names were supposed to be for different types of business. It didn't work out that way because trademarks are too valuable to not over-enforce.
If it's blocked by default, then it'll probably stay blocked. Think of the problems of people trying to justify to their spouse while they need the porn unblocked, or of over-eighteens still living at home having to explain to their parents. If ISPs start blocking.xxx by default, it'll put.xxx sites at such huge commercial disadvantage they'll just have to go back to either.com or (if the US forces them to get off there) to one of the country-code TLDs.
Porn. Lots of porn. Lots and lots of porn. Except... it hangs up openly in art galleries around the world. Drawn by some of the most respected names in classical art, including Leonardo. How can that be porn?
Some porn sites are known for their rather over-determined advertising - I've seen things like search engine manipulation, forum-spamming, etc. These sites typically aren't operated from the US though, or associated with any large porn company. They are just small porn distributors (Half the time distributing pirate porn at that) desperate to do anything to get customers in a saturated market.
Because the people under that oppressive government make most of our stuff and do so for wages that couldn't buy lunch in the US. The people want their cheap tat, and China is the way to get it. In such vast quantities that to cease trading with China would result in many years of recession, even more so than now.
But *which* land? Remembering the google spat, China kicked them out of the country while pointing out that if you don't comply with Chinese law, you can't do business in China.
I think a lot of them are negociating ploys. Push for something far too ambitious to actually pass. After months of debate, rewriting and watering-down you still have something the original proposer wants, and it can go through, while the opponents claim credit for stopping something that was never intended to pass anyway.
That's the one! Yes, I used unrevoked. It rooted the phone perminantly, but it still reboots if I try to mount the filesystem read-write. I think I'd have to put a new ROM on entirely, and I don't like that much hastle, or the risk of screwing something up.
It does raise the possibility of indirect prohibition though. The great old tradition in which a government, finding it impossible to actually ban something they dislike, instead create a tangled mess of expensive paperwork deliberatly designed to be near-impossible to comply with. Traditionally used in the US to deal with sexually orientated businesses, abortion and sex offenders. Used in Australia to achieve an effective ban on unrated media.
The anti-gun-control people are afraid of any and all regulation of guns for th same reason the pro-choice people are afraid of any and all regulation of abortion. They see the possibility of incrimentalism looming. If you allow a little regulation today, then there will be more after that, and more after that, until there comes a time when owning a gun means an inch-thick stack of forms and five types of background check at your own expense.
I tried that, but the phone just reboots. Same happens if I permroot with Visionary, though temproot does work. I eventually got permroot somehow using a USB rooting program (forget the name), but the write-lock remains. I just run droidwall - the spyware can waste a little battery power, but it can't report home.
Not if it's an HTC Desire. You can root it, but it's got some hardware thingie too - if you attempt to write to the area of flash that has the OS, then the hardware lock will not just refuse the write but immediatly reboot the phone. There are ways to overcome it, but it's a bit more difficult than your standard rooting.
It would be rather pointless - the big benefit of embryonic cells was supposed to be that they could be made via nuclear transfer, and so would be a perfect match to the patient. The idea was rendered obsolete once someone figured out you could induce pluripotence in adult cells, which is easier than screwing around with cloning.
My main concern is with the practical aspects of employment and social life without the protection that being anonymous gives. If everything you ever say is just a few searches away, it could easily come back to haunt you - employers may quietly turn your job application down because of something you once wrote in a blog comment, your relatives might take offence because you disagree with them on a political issue. If you can't say things without them going on a record that will linger for decades, it isn't entirely safe to say anything. You certainly can't ever be harshly critical of any social movement, religion or political party - you might need the support of one of their members some day.
At least with the current situation, it takes effort to track someone down. Building a complete profile of someone's online activity for personal (mis)use would take a great deal of work and expense, and a bit of legal know-how too.
I'm concerned because I work in a school. This means that I can never use my real name online, because the pupils have time on their hands and the curiosity to look me up. That would be a very bad thing. First they would find all the comments I have made mocking religion, which in themselves are enough to endanger my job. Then they would find the sites hosting my dabbling in art and story-writing, both of which would be very embarassing because I just suck. Then they would find the even suckier porn I wrote, which is sure to get me fired. The only reason I can do any of these things is that I do them under aliases, and it would be very difficult to find them given only my real name, location and occupation.
If anything and everything is public, then you can't say anything that might create trouble for you at any time in future. You'd end up with an internet of people trying to remain 'true neutral' - afraid to post anything more serious than lolcats.
Anonymity does indeed make assholes, of that their is little doubt. But what is wrong with pseudo-anonyminity, with aliases as is already common practice 'Omestes?' They provide a reputation, but with the ability to hold personal, family and professional lives in strict isolation, and giving people the chance to reinvent themselves as they mature without being haunted by the immaturity of their youth.
Just throwing out a wild guess with no evidence behind it, but could it be because engineers are less able to hold simutainous contradictory beliefs? Most religious believers have to some extent an ability to ignore large parts of their holy book - they can believe that all nonbelievers are going to burn in hell while simutainously advocating religious freedom for all, as an example. They can ignore the sections of the book that command the stoning of adulterers. They can talk about the sacredness of the one-man-one-woman marriage while paying no attention to the frequent polygamous marriages of the old testament that God endorsed. Engineers are trained to think in black and white - either a fact is true, or it isn't. It can't be true while you are in the church and false as soon as you step out the doors. So when they read the bit where the holy book says to destroy those who worship at false idols, that is exactly what they do.
It's largely luck. If you have a thousand script kiddies all screwing around with half an idea of what they are doing, there is a chance that one of them will have the luck to stumble upon a weakness they can exploit. Lulzsec were rather more sophisticated than is generally the case with Anonymous though.
I imagine it's for linking accounts. Google does have partners, as does Facebook. A real name means they can match up your profile with your store loyalty cards, credit card records, insurance records, and so on.

Yes, it is.

Greenwich. They basically invented the modern concept of time. That is why they have the prime meridian running through the royal observatory.
Originally the different names were supposed to be for different types of business. It didn't work out that way because trademarks are too valuable to not over-enforce.
Named celebrities don't, but companies do in order to protect their trademarks.
If it's blocked by default, then it'll probably stay blocked.
