On the contrary, wedding and engagement rings go back for over 500 years, although back then, even the wedding ring was just for the woman. The idea of the diamond as the "standard" jewel for an engagement ring was created by the DeBeers campaign, though.
Because it doesn't apply. Laws that retroactively make things legal are not ex post facto under the Constitution. The wikipedia article you cite specifically states that, and that it applies to the telecom bill (to be fair, that probably got added after you referenced it).
I think the problem is that GPS is a commercially funded operation.
Um, no, it isn't. It's owned, lock, stock and barrel, by the US military. Civilian devices are allowed to access it, but the satellites are not commercially owned.
If the military wanted its own "secret" GPS system, it would have to launch a boatload of satellites up there to match the current configuration.
Or they could just ring up the CO of the US Air Force's 50th Space Wing, since that's who owns and maintains the current "boatload of satellites".
Is there any end? Or is the game built so you never really become king of the hill? Is there always another carrot out there to keep you coming back?
What you're asking is: is the game built so that you eventually stop paying money? Or is it built so that there's always a reason to keep paying the owner? When you phrase them correctly, most questions answer themselves...
FTA "Google has said since it unveiled Android Nov. 1 that there would be phones based on the OS in the second half of 2008. The Wall Street Journal, citing Google as a source, is reporting that the Android handsets "won't arrive until the fourth quarter."
Which, by my count, is indeed part of the second half of 2008. Is somebody's calendar broken?
If you'd RTFA, you'd know that one of the guys in the first photo died, and one of women in the second photo had been supposed to be in the first photo but hadn't been able to attend the shoot.
You're being disingenuous, but I'll answer anyways. They were handed the monopoly for the PC operating system by IBM, who actually left control of the OS in Microsoft's hands while making it the official OS for what would become the official desktop hardware, because everybody who wanted a desktop repeated, "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" and bought an IBM PC, or, if they were thrifty, a clone (which still had an MS operating system).

Your grandmother's name...it wouldn't be Slowsky, would it?
No, that would be the Internet. It's very important not to confuse the two.

Because, after all, you can do *anything* at ZOMBOcom.
Let a virus take over Mainframe? Ich glaube nicht!
Illustration here.
...you get Das Boot.
Of course, they use *my* money to do the pretending. Pass.

Actually, it's more important to check for Klingons...

You have to make arrangements with the Bynars; they normally firewall off their entire planet.
.it already exists, being the country-code domain for Italy. http://google.it/ already exists, too, as a matter of fact.

Correct kerning derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!
"Entertainment Weekly too shallow to pay attention to science, blames scientific community"
It's a special character encoding. It's only ö when you're not looking at it.
You mean the cout version, noob!

No, they're quite serious. Modern particle accelerators extend for miles.
AIs don't have feelings, and sometimes that makes them very sad.
Slashdot doesn't need to hear all this, they're highly trained professionals. We've assured the administrator that *nothing will go wrong*.

So, it can be the default, it's just not the default for it to be the default?
