When the nanoassembler dream comes true, Open Graphics Card will be there.
Or something. This stuff doesn't really spin my gears, but there are people doing a far better job completely wasting time than these guys.
(I really don't see how these guys are ever going to be competitive with old Nvidia or Intel hardware and also cost less than said hardware, the old Nvidia and Intel stuff is mad cheap)
That isn't what happened. One defendant stomped his feet and yelled "Source Code!", and the other stomped his feet and yelled (in a memo!!!) "The source code, which is blah, might be borken!". It seems like a pretty thin distinction to me, but it doesn't rest on antics or bamboozlement.
The good news is that anybody else can probably just submit a reasonably similar memo, they don't need to make a poster or track down a PhD to wave in the air.
Anyway, if the guy who gets to use the code doesn't manage to use it to successfully defend himself, it won't matter all that much.
Google isn't putting ads in the frame and does a good job of making sure that their branding is shown in the frame, and that there is a clear way to get to the original page. That is not "essentially stealing".
Back in the day, hotlinking meant that someone was using the image on a page without permission (i.e., as the src for an img element), not that a link to the image was posted (the idea that people shouldn't post direct links to content on the internet is preposterous).
Yes well, as long as most people treat it as a new avenue for research, rather than the final attainment of perfection, we should be able to continue to muddle on.
The fear mongering attacks on technology are about being noticed doing something, not about control.
Actually listen to most politicians speak for a few minutes and it becomes quite clear that they are, at best, ill informed. That isn't a base that can support nuanced schemes and conspiracies, and they are a great deal more concerned with maintaining their position than they are with the ability for people to make noise on the internets.
Of course, if you control for the gender of the people being examined and there is still a notable difference, it might be an interesting thing to try to understand.
As for how, a local installer can drop stuff in your profile. On Windows, firefox also checks a couple of registry keys for paths to additional plug-ins (dot net installed some stuff for me).
There was a discussion of it here somewhat recently.
I have www.google-analytics.com (and ssl.goog...) blocked in my hosts file. No way does anywhere near a third of the internet stop working. I haven't even encountered a site that actively complained.
It has been mentioned in Forbes and the New York Times. Anybody who wants to mess around dealing with blocking javascript already knows about it, no one else even cares.
That the author is apparently a bit of douche makes it even less interesting.
The mortality rate of the infected appears to be quite low, which is great news (the number of confirmed infections in Mexico is going up quite a bit faster than the deaths from confirmed infections, and all of the deaths, save the Mexican boy that died in Texas, have been in Mexico. Numbers from the WHO: http://www.who.int/csr/don/2009_05_01a/en/index.html ).
Even with the relatively short period where people are infectious but not showing symptoms, there will be plenty of people with symptoms that don't bother seeking medical care or staying away from others, so I doubt that things are on the decline just yet.
Civil and mechanical engineering are based entirely on models.
Some of the models reflect our best scientific understanding of the world. Some of them reflect ideas that have worked before and guessing (but this guessing is done very carefully).
Part of the definition of epidemic and pandemic is that the outbreak is not expected. The normal flu occurs and spreads in a somewhat predicable fashion and mostly kills people with weak or compromised immune systems. If you get a new disease that behaves unpredictably and kills people that are otherwise healthy, it demands a different sort of attention.

What world governments responded inappropriately?
You are overestimating the importance of ARM netbooks to office software users. Hugely.
I mean, Microsoft might lose a few hundred thousand sales, but they think in tens of millions.
I bet there are plenty of people that get told what to use and just have to deal with it.
Yo dotter marry Chinese man?

GP likely speaks American English.

I figured it was a troll that even Bill and Ted would appreciate.

I drink as much bottled water as I can so that no one has a chance to burn the carbon used to make the bottles.
A relatively elaborate scheme for making out with Natalie Portman if there ever was one.
It is straightforward to export the bookmarks to HTML. Not the same and a little additional work, but they didn't completely abandon you.

More like 1 or 2 days. Read the 6 or 7th entry, "How can someone with the flu infect someone else?":

I would have gone with some sort of military Japanese porn joke.
Godwin's law isn't the problem, crazy internet people who think "GODWIN" "GODWIN" "GODWIN" is something worth posting are the problem.

I feel misled.
