Even most newspapers aren't neutral and you demand neutrality from a site based on user submissions? If you don't care about the opinion of others why come to/. in the first place, you could just read the sites where the articles come from.
Traditional search is shrinking (but, mind you, is far from dying) because of huge topical sites that finally managed to develop good search engines. It's far easier to search Wikipedia, IMDB or Youtube for whatever content you are looking for than shuffling through the results of Google that will take you to those sites anyway.
They could load the site and simultaneously display a small warning, thus letting the users decide whether they want to trust it or not. Loading an untrusted is not a tragedy by itself.
This stuff can make the work of the police far more efficient leading to the recovery of more stolen cars and the catching of more criminals. If, as the article claims, only the criminals' licence plate gets recorded, there is no privacy invasion.
The EU is not led by Viviane Reding alone. The opinion of one Justice Commissioner is not the official opinion of the Union. In fact, the "leadership" of the EU is so complex and changes so frequently that talking about what the EU wants is meaningless until something actually happens. The EU is a constant political battlefield of different groups with different interests.
Afghanistan is not at the center of the Islamic world The center of the Islamic world is in the Middle East.
The center of the Islamic world are Indonesia, Pakistan and India.
What happened in Afghanistan that led to the invasion by America (and the West) is Omar, the leader of Taliban, permitted Osama bin Laden to use Afghanistan as a base for Al Queda, and Al Queda, for one reason or another, decided to launch 9/11 on America because America is nothing but a pussy.
This is mostly true, but my point was that it doesn't fit in your conspiracy theory.
And please do respect the intellect of other Slashdot users - please do not substitute "The Western Power" with "UN Forces"
You seem to be uninformed: the NATO got the blessing of both the UN and the Arab League.
Please do not delude yourself that Gaddafi was removed by the "Libyan rebels" alone...Those "Libyan rebels" were nothing without the help from the Western powers.
The only help Western powers gave was the implementation of the no-fly zone and the naval blockade. The NATO didn't help any side, all they did was even the playfield and prevent civilian losses. The only support the rebels got was from Egypt.
This is a very convenient selection of two data points that more or less has some similarities. How would Afghanistan fit in your theory? Also, keep in mind that Lybia was never attacked by the West. Gaddafi's regime was destroyed by Lybian rebels, the only thing the UN forces did was ensuring that there are no airstrikes or artillery barrage targeting civilians.
The difference is that Facebook has a presence in Europe. If Europe would just block Facebook instead of making them liable, that would be an invasion of free speech and the free net.
Freedom of speech is not an unalienable right which means that the library could in theory censor the internet if they wanted to. But it IS a right, which also means that they don't have to censor if they don't want, and noone can force them to do so. And although I'm not very familiar with American laws, I seriously doubt that " right to use the Library in peace" is a right detailed in your constitution.
That's for the legal part. From a moral (or "common sense") point of view, the woman was not forced to look at the screen of the man. The fact that he did indicates that she violated the privacy of him, which while not illegal (libraries are public places) is still considered impolite.
It's not necessarily a hoax but it is unproven. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and all we have now are some easily fakeable videos and the claims of only one Chinese doctor.
It is physically impossible to yell on a written forum. Writing in caps is a way to stress the most important parts of your post, like italics or bold text does.
I'll argue. J2ME barely shows in the smartphone market. Dumbphones aren't relevant to a conversation about platforms that support user-downloadable third-party applications.
The whole point of JME is to support user-downloadable third-party applications. JME was also supported on smartphones, for example on Symbian.
The problem is that even if they did it would take years for the hardware manufacturers to catch up. Many problems with security are fixed but most Android phones still lag 2 versions behind.
Theoretically software is also not patentable in Europe. In practice, however, it depends on the country. Germany accepts software patents and they are strong enough that noone will say anything about it.

Doesn't matter, it would be outside of the audible spectrum anyway.

Except that no one's brain has ever been "filled" up.
Sure it has. Why do you think we forget things?
If those systems are so critical why are they in private hands in the first place?

Well he wasn't the first one to do it, Common Lisp already has a disassemble command.
The technology will show passengers on a screen as stick figures of neither sex.
They claim that the radiation is comparable to that of a cell phone but a machine with effects like that is one strong X-ray.
On the other hand, if you happen to live near one of the undersea cabels...

IT is evolving rapidly, making experience worth less than in more traditional fields.

Now come on Wikipedia (like all encyclopedias) is not a peer-reviewed journal you can't expect them to check the scientific value of their sources.

I believe the real question is if they have hydrogen bombs or not. But you are right, achieving fusion does not necessarily mean that.

Apple was never an innovation company but a design company. They didn't make new things but they did make old things much better.
These patents appear to be connected to the multitouch screen of iPhones which the Prada did not have (but MS Surface did).
