Sure, because the music industry have never attacked independent artists or the digital distribution they use. If you think they will just let you ruin their business you are very naive.
If you take away the privacy of your leaders you will only get leaders who don't care about privacy. Do you really want celebrity-types running the country?
My account was followed by a fairly innocuous looking one which I followed back and within 10 minutes I had received a direct message (DM) calling me a "Dirty fucking Jewish scumbag". I blocked the account and reported it as spam. The following week it happened again in an identical manner. A new follower, I followed back, received a string of abusive DMs, blocked and reported for spam. Two or three times a week. Sometimes two or three times a day. An almost daily cycle of blocking and reporting and intense verbal abuse. So I made my account private and the problem went away for a short while.
He might not have been agressive, but he was definitely careless and a very slow learner.
I can imagine that some wifi hotspot IPs can be found in public, and it's also not completely impossible that his friend had a static IP which he knew. Facebook passwords can be broken like any other (although I won't call that a hack, but this guy is not an "IT genius"). How they got the IP is a better question, but one method would be to set up his acount to automatically send him the login logs (not sure about Facebook but it can be done in Google+ which he said he used in the baiting), pick a weak password and hope the troll will try to crack the account. It can still be fake but I wouldn't say it's completely impossible.
With the elections coming all kinds of crazy ideas are floating around. NASA simply doesn't have the resources for a huge project such as this. Also, I don't really see the advantages over LEO, even if they build the station keeping it supplied would be a constant challenge.
The twin tower destruction plan was a strategic one, as well as a terrorist attack.
Or because it was vulnerable to a plane impact? Or because it contained a high concentration of Jews? You assume too sophisticated tought of these goatherders. Now American economic pressure can be a problem, but especially the Middle East is very good at resisting it (at least until they are offered a sufficient price). The OPEC is quite independent from the US and had many conflicts with it.
Want to see the hate in the middle east dry up? Multilateral withdrawl of all financial and military interests in the middle east by *all* western powers.
Sure, it worked well for the French to stay out of Iraq...oh wait, it didn't. You are very naive if you rely on the terrorists to stop of their own goodwill. Terrorists don't want to end the war because that's the reason of all the influence they have. Why don't you think Gaza wants peace with Israel? Because the terrorists will stay in power for only as long as there is a war.
They will exhaust their resources, and poof... dry up and blow away.
You think the West is their only costumer? Russia and China will happily maintain relations with them and supply them with more then enough guns. They will continue to emigrate to the West and try to kill our civilians because we don't let them eradicate Israel or because of some made-up reason like this film now.
I don't feel sorry for "civilians" hiding, feeding and arming terrorists. The local authorities could be a lot more effective with less collateral damage than drone strikes if they actually did something.
Java was replaced by Flash long ago, and now even Flash is being replaced by HTML5. I have always disabled Java browser plugins exactly because it's unsecure. Five years ago this discovery may still have had some impact, but hardly anyone uses Java applets these days.
Leather is pretty much just a biproduct of the meat industry, the are no animals grown for their hide. Fur is a different thing, but they couldn't grow that.
And not a tax on bulbs but a tax on electricity consumption or CO2 emission. But that would also hurt the really big wasters of energy, the big companies with deep pockets. Also, what if someone invents an incandescent bulb with efficiency comparable to fluorescent ones, would that be banned too? This is not regulation, this is planned economy. There are many uses where incandescent is better: if you only use it for short periods of time (in a fridge,garage,basement etc.), if you live in a cold area (and thus the generated heat isn't wasted), if you need a bulb to actually produce heat (artificial incubation?), if you need a bulb with a blackbody spectrum (photography?) or if you need a bulb with modifiable intensity.

The problem is not when it's a wiki, but when there are only like 3 articles in it.

but the aim is to make the other person say something unreasonable first or to make them waste a large amount of effort replying
Out of curiosity, how much time have you just spent explaining an AC how real trolls are so much sophisticated?

Seriously, I was expecting at least 5 people posting the link by this time. Internet, I've known you wrong.
Now you only only have to ban your other thousand companies from using software patents in Europe, and we will be very thankful.
No it was made up of 1 Daily Mail author. Or, even more precisely, it was made up.
Last I checked, human rigth laws such as the one protecting free speech were universal, not local.
My theory is that Windows8 was developed primarily for tablets and the PC version is just an extra until Win9 comes out.
What exactly is so surprising about a news site quoting press releases?
Six monitors? You are into fat chicks, aren't you?
Satellites aren't put at the Lagrange points themselves but on orbits around them.

American beer is only cheap compared to American wages. And that's only because American wages are high, it has nothing to do with beer.
My point was, those animals would die regardless if we use their leather or not. This is like saying that forest are being cut down for paper.

If that's what you got from an article investigating a change in manufacturing costs then you really are jumping at everything.
Phone cameras are not high quality. Resolution doesn't matter much if your lens system is shit.

Europe is better because everytime our governments try somehing like this, the people have a chance to vote it down in the EP.
