Every normal human being that speaks English understands the idea of not repeating the antecedent.

By any account that I've heard, Aronofsky's _Noah_ is a fairly literal portrayal of the Bible, which leaves the bible-literalist complainers outing themselves as idiots who don't actually know the contents of Bible they claim to take literally.
As for _300_, most people forget the framing device of Dillios addressing soldiers before the battle of Plataea with inspirational stories about Thermopylae, basically says "You think we're fucked now? The 300 at Thermopylae were truly fucked and almost made it. 10,000 of us now will barely break a sweat against the Persians". Dillios was not writing a report, he was bullshitting other soldiers.
The design-side motivation is to alternate architectural changes with process shrinks so that you're not trying to debug both at the same time. Prescott tried that, and look how that turned out.
The marketing motivation is that the buyer of the commodity part is more price sensitive and the buyer of the performance part is more feature sensitive. You use the shrunk process for commodity parts first due to the increased die per wafer, which give you both greater volume and lower cost per die so that you can still maintain margins at lower price points.
"They didn't really do anything "wrong" yet still get hit with a financial loss big enough to sink a lot of businesses."
Sure, he trademark violations may not be directly their problem. But they did go wrong in purchasing from someone that they cannot effectively hold liable for a failure to fulfill a delivery of good sold. That is their problem.
No, it hasn't. Estates that are large enough to cross the $5,250,000 threshold for estate taxes in 2013 are overwhelmingly comprised of a) unrealized capital gains, and b) tax-protected unearned income. These by definition have not been taxed already.
"Google vs Hollywood are two bears fighting over a beehive, and we are the bees. "
And carry to the analogy further: if they would stop trampling the bees, everyone could have more honey.
There is a primitive mercantilist view of economics that says that money that someone else made is necessarily money that I lost. This view underpins most anti-capitalist actions, both leftist and rightist.
It's a little complex to just be to deflect news coverage form the Crimea, what with all of the shifting tracking data, etc.
How about: it's interesting how all of this is getting tracking and surveillance talked about in a positive light? A complex scenario would actually be beneficial in rehabilitating the image of the NSA, since they could claim that they're the only guys who could piece the whole story together in the end. Bonus points if the NSA gets to say "this information was supposed to be classified, but it's just too important to the people to keep secret".
"How much "diversity" and "innovation" do you need in terms of a charger?"
If you design a battery system that can accept a higher charging current, you may need a charger that have power levels and signaling to request those power levels that are not in the present spec for the one true charger. (This actually happened.)
If you design a phone that can drive a wider variety of outputs, you may need more pins that the one true connector has. (This actually happened.)
If you design a wireless charging system, you may want a case with no ports at all so that it is waterproof. (This is currently in development.)
My claim is that not that the Ukrainian state has an overt right to dictate, but that the Russian state does not have a not-quite-covert right to dictate.
Two to three weeks ago it was plausible that a majority of those living in Crimea would vote to join Russia.Today, it would be hard to prove that the result would not be because of the Russian state's thumb on the scales.
"Internet service provider" is used to describe a provider of connectivity from an end user to the internet at large. "Internet service provider" is also used to describe a provider of a service accessible only over the internet. On more than one occasion I've seen it used one way where I was expecting the other way, i.e. I didn't know what the writer meant, and I had to find some other clarifying statement.

And so is the fraud detection.

"I am somewhat curious why the Chinese are so bent on a quick resolution here."
They've seen how willing Russia is to help Russian-speakers in Crimea, and feel they ought to be at least as helpful to Chinese-speakers in Malaysia.
The rest of the word isn't going a damn thing to stop Russia from occupying Crimea, so for practical purposes it is now Russian.
There's a big difference between finding those claims credible and finding those claims enough of a fig leaf to decline starting WW3.

Clearly, the proper US response should be to reclaim British Columbia back to 54 deg 40 min north.

"a non-functional tracking device"
The thing about a tracking device is that you can track it.
The thing about a tracking device at a known location is that you can test the tracking device against that known location.
The thing about a tracking device with multiple receivers is that you can tell if it is lying to you.
"It just needs to not have an "off" button in the cockpit"
Note that they find it reasonable that even the current transponder (and the its backup) have an off button in the cockpit.
"Itunes is for profit"
Book sellers like Amazon are not for profit? Book publishers like Random House are not for profit?
Why is it notable that there was once a man wrong about everything?
The entitled asshole is the person that refuses to engage the market for his work then complains about not making any money.

Does a vaccination-age child have medical autonomy? Does a child have religious rights?
Uwingu has no authority either, and they'll also take your $5.
So NOW do you see the advantage of a flat Earth?
