From your description, it sounds like there's a chance that it could be antidepressant-induced hypomania. You should get that checked out (I am serious).
Well, it's kind've notable, what with the nutjob in question being the father of Dodi Fayed, and with it being central to a multi-million pound court inquest. But yeah, it's still idiotic.
This isn't like the previous anti-trust stuff either - either the US or EU can just block the deal outright. No piddling fines for them to ignore or stuff like that. A massive gamble, implying they really want this deal.
Indeed. And as someone who lives a minute's drive from it, I can say that the A3029 (Winterstoke Rd) is much better suited to trucks, being a dual carriageway much of the way. The problem is that the truckers want to save a few minutes, and TomTom is happy to oblige.
That's actually a really good idea - the satnavs do carry information about tolls, so it wouldn't even need to rely on signs. That said, it'd probably require an act of parliament to implement tolls like that.

The voting paradox states that we should rationally not bother to vote. The chance of it making a difference are far outweighed by even the smallest cost that voting has. You are considerably more likely to get killed on the way to the polling station than for your vote to make a difference to the outcome of the election. Yes, you can certainly say "but what if everyone did that?", which brings us to the problem of public goods. There is an incentive to free-ride - others will do the voting for you. Similarly to taxes, where your own contribution makes no difference, so you have an incentive to not pay, some countries such as Australia make it mandatory to vote (you're allowed to just spoil your ballot). This implies that for many people, voting isn't even worth minus $100 AUD or whatever the fine is. Yeah, a degree in politics and economics did make me very cynical about the political process.

The confusion mostly comes from the strange redefinition of "liberal" that has happened in the US. In its original definition (and the definition used in the rest of the world and by most political scientists) it's closer to what those in the US would know as libertarian. The root is liberty. It really doesn't mean left wing. In fact most left wingers are quite a way from what would be traditionally known as liberal. Neocons were born out of the democratic party in the late 60s/early 70s, in opposition to the "realist" foreign policy in the ascendant at the time, as personified by Henry Kissinger et al. Their beliefs came out of "liberal" foreign policy, especially a belief in holding beliefs such as liberty and freedom central to policy. They were opposed to Realist policies such as detente, which they saw as betraying American ideals by moving closer to China. These polcies were being persued by Nixon and Kissinger as a rational, self-interested way of advancing Amercian interests at any cost, whether that meant getting closer to regimes whose policies went against US ideals. They believed that the prime concern of the US should be to spread their values to other countries, while the Realists believed that the concern should be to further US power. These goals were at the time opposing each other. A contemporary example would be Iran. The Realist view would be that they should "hold their noses" and engage with the Iranians in an attempt to protect US interests. However Neocons say that as Iran is against US values we should cut them off, even if it increases Ahmedinejad's power at home and in the rest of the Middle East.
It's easy to point fingers if you choose examples that have been chosen by the US govt. However, look elsewhere and you'll find plenty of examples of the US not limiting "rogue" countries. Take for example Saudi Arabia. Repressive, non-democratic, no respect for civil liberties, massively censors internet, close ally of the US. I'm sure if you look you'll find plenty of others.
Well, it needn't. See this traceroute from the UK:

Seems to jump straight from London to Saudi. The "seabone" in question seems to be this. Of course, this isn't massively relevant to the question of net governance.
The best source of unbiased news is to follow different viewpoints. Follow the BBC, follow Fox, follow al-Jazeera, follow Xinhua, follow Indymedia, follow the Economist, follow the Guardian, follow the Telegraph. Don't take the average of these views, though - synthesise your own views, and find the truth yourself.
I'm only slightly joking when I say this, but Keynote significantly improved my grades. Having used Keynote quite a bit in my day job, it made sense that when I went back to school ages 25, I would use it for the numerous presentations that I had to do. I almost felt guilty about how much better mine looked than all of the other students' powerpoint presentations. Almost. On many, many occasions I got comments back from the lecturers saying how good the presentations were. How professional they looked etc. In group presentations, the other students would always insist that we used my laptop, so that we could use keynote rather than ppt. It's fair to say that Keynote helped me get firsts for several modules.
No. We're not comparing frameworks, we're comparing tools to create websites. And yet TFA is a comparison of frameworks.
I personally prefer PHP5 to Rails (I have no experience with CakePHP). The latter is great for complex data models and for lots of back-end computation and interaction, at least in the sense that I wouldn't have to code very much. Ultimately, However, I feel more in control with a scripting language than with dynamically created code. This probably has much to do with the fact that I have far more experience with PHP than with Rails, but then again, I'm a purist; I always prefer writing my own code to using someone else's.
Have you ever compared programming in C to programming in Python? That's how. That would be a valid example if you wrote Python programs in C. The code that one write to create CakePHP sites is still PHP. Even the templates are PHP.
CakePHP vs PHP5? Do they think that PHP5 is a framework? Has the name not tipped them off that CakePHP is written in PHP? How can you have PHP vs. "thing written in PHP"?

Seems so unlikely to ever be allowed by the regulators, yet they're willing to throw billions at it anyway. They must feel confident for some reason.
I think what he's trying to say is "Enough is enough. I've had it with these motherfucking Rubies on this motherfucking Rails!"

Norway is obviously the answer then. Bloody freezing, and loads of hydroelectric power.

In a market where Facebook (without an obvious revenue stream) is valued in the billions...
You realise Facebook is pulling in $150 million per year revenue, right?We managed it in the UK. We just stopped using coal-fired power stations.
How about six?
