Your grasp of physics must be rather poor if you believe that an iPad is going to end up traveling at 200 MPH relative to any passengers on a commercial flight.
If this were remotely correct, you wouldn't be allowed to use at any time on the flight. I use my iPod Touch and iPad all the time, at all points of a flight, and I've never been in a crash, much less been proven to cause it.
The amount of funding for education in the US is more than sufficient. It's not how much you spend, but how you spend it, that matters. Granted, there isn't a politician alive who knows how to properly allocate any funds, much less education funds, but that transcends Republics and Democrats.
You seen to be assuming that the worst case for nuclear is ignition of the atmosphere or some similarly ridiculous fears from the middle of last century. In a properly-designed reactor, the worst case scenario is that the reaction stops.
All countries that profess to be Islamic deserve to be outcast from the rest of the world. The major difference in treatment between SA and Iran is politics. It has nothing to do with hypocrisy or injustice. Well, no more than politics in general.
And if you believe Iran intends to remain peaceful, you are truly deluded or simply naive.
That's the nice thing about being in-charge, even if it's a de-facto appointment. You can do whatever the Hell you want, without caring how silly or capricious it is. And you don't have to account for yourself to mostly-anonymous slashdot posters.
What do morals have to do with porn? What could possibly be immoral about displaying one's body, no matter the context? I could understand a claim of indecency, but it's not as if everyone who participates in the creation of porn is exploited. To most, it's simply a job.
You are thinking about this incorrectly. It is not a case of "it doesn't happen to me", but rather "it doesn't affect me." By forming into communities, states and countries, we form ever-larger groups of (decreasing) influence. However, for the most part, conditions outside of the country do not affect those in the country. (Yes, of course we have the global economy, wars, etc., but for most "local" laws this holds true.) It is a perfectly moral position to hold that those who do not affect me should not be affected by me. For the most part, indirect effects are inevitable, but there's no reason to go out and meddle with someone else's laws.
The Palestinians won't make any concessions either, so it doesn't really matter what Israel does. And Israeli politicians are fully aware of this, and thus can take any position that happens to suit their agenda.
Also, the Palestinian leadership (especially Hammas) does not want an internationally recognized state. If they get one, the first mortar shelling or suicide attack from across the border will result in a full-scale Israeli invasion to level the State, while the world looks on. They need the status quo in order to appear as the victim.
The bottom line is that neither side is "right" in the sense of being justified morally and historically in their actions. Everything that is going on is a matter of politics. As Bibi pointed out to Obama, Israeli Arabs enjoy more rights and freedoms than Arabs in any other ME country.
It has been demonstrated that people will, even when they know they are participating in a bubble, continue to inflate the bubble. Education alone won't solve that problem.
You have failed to read or to comprehend what you read. There are valid arguments to be made about the complaints, but yours are not.
The musing about XEdit was that it could lock it's commands to only operate on a section of the document, not the whole document.
The complaint about paragraphs and scrolling is related to the behavior of scrollbars, and has nothing to do with the amount visible on screen at one time.

When Linus states that the ABI won't change, he means the user-space ABI (e.g. that (g)libc uses).
Of course it was. She's Australian!

Despite what a lot of people seem to believe, it is 100% legal in the US for an NGO (including a private company or person) to censor speech.

Well, unfortunately the rest of the (Western) world is not going to war with the US (to bring [back] democracy).

I know it's anathema, but you could read the PDF instead of asking inane questions.

Reviews rarely contain (only) facts.
This would be called the "Not and idiot" mode...
There's something slightly ironic here.
I would think "Bloody hell" is always a poor choice of gift. But then, I don't know your mother.
Pay attention to who the "they" is that dropped support. Hint: It wasn't MS.
"Soon" in geological terms, perhaps.
Because, unlike you, they can and do read the summaries.
Oh, OK, they don't read them either, but I bet they could!
Americans are not the ones suing.
How does Flash enable Google to kill h.264? Almost all modern Flash video is h.264 encoded.
Network throughput will most like increase much faster...
Not everyone lives outside the US!
Lots of businesses run Asterisk, even if it's not called that. Ever heard of Avaya? Ford uses it. I am sure many other large corporations do as well.
