Most gamers are young people who have not lost their interest in games yet. They will complain because they are too stupid to understand that downloading a web browser OS is only useful to browse the web with.
Adults will hopefully not make the mistake of downloading Chrome OS to play Win32 games and the ones who do not will hopefully make the idiots realise that they are idiots.
Outrage Overload operates in their favour. By the time anyone can actually get an action into court, they've changed their terms another half dozen times, and you're arguing over ancient history. Really, isn't life short enough already?
explain how Germany is the world's second largest exporter, behind only China
By value, not by tonnage. A BMW costs more than 10 Chinese motorcycles.
China (or Korea or Malaysia) manufactures the components. The pollution happens there. Germany then imports them, pays a man to program a robot to stick them together, and charges a 500% markup on the component price because the end product is Made In Germany.
I'll type this very slowly to make it easier for you to understand: taxing consumers a second time on research that was already funded from the public purse does not promote the progress of science and the useful arts.
In the retrial, Camara lost big time and managed to get the jury-awarded damages increased from $222,000 to $1.92 million. It was only after the trial that Camara filed a "Aw, c'mon" motion and the judge chose to reduce the damages. The motion regarding the amount of damages could have been filed at any time, and the verdict wasn't changed. Camara lost. He's the pro bono defendant of last resort.
Heh, you're funny. The next time you pull on your hemp sandals and pedal to the Beans and Bongs store to buy 200lbs of lentils, consider that growing and transporting those lentils relies on petrochemicals. How much more do you want to pay for, well, everything?
And if they're really quiet and well behaved, they may even be allowed to stay on set and fetch coffee for the guy who walks the dog of the broad who puts the makeup on Johnny Fucking Depp.
That would be awesome. The movie could start, we could get up and go play some frisbee, come back in 2 hours, and get the "movie watched" experience without the tiresome business of having to sit through it!
This is weapons grade idiocy in action. Murdoch chose to make the material freely available, inviting anyone with a web browser to come and read it. Google merely advertised its existence, to his benefit and ours, hooking up browsers with the content. And simple because Google could find a way to make money from the value they added (to both producer and consumer!) what they are doing is "theft"?
The Murdochs of this word are dinosaurs, moaning in hunger-maddened anger as the forests give way to grassland that they're not equipped to browse on. If dinosaurs had had lawyers, they've had sued the grass for displacing the cycads.
Apple used its dominant market position to persuade music labels to refuse to give the online retailer Amazon.com exclusive access to music about to be released.
If that's all there is to the accusation, then Apple deserve kudos - in this one isolated instance - for forcing wider access to the works. Exclusive is the antithetis of the purpose of copyrights.
How does any interest in government not end with the conclusion that there's a non-choice between Tweedledum or Tweedledee (or Joe Lieberman if you can't decide either way)? The only thing that really matters is candidate selection, and as you already noted, no honest candidate stands a chance against the Mob's candidate (take a bow, President Obama).
I recall reading an article by an actual academic who described Warwick and Reading as an "embarrassing distraction". Mind you, I can't remember his name, but everybody knows about Captain Cyborg, so I guess Warwick has achieving his primary goal: self promotion.
I do object to calling anyone associated with Warwick a "scientist" though. The level of their (published) research isn't even up to Mythbusters standards. Playing around with £10 of gubbins from Maplin then injecting it under your skin does not make you a cyborg, just a cretin.

Micro$erf,
Read your Jackson. Microsoft "[enjoyed] monopoly power" as defined by the Sherman act, and that finding of fact was never overturned.
Sorry, you were saying something funny?
Fixed that for you.

Oh, I doubt that very much indeed.

True, but critically, 5% of it consists of pure Jobsonium, an element that doesn't exist in nature.
Then it needs to be tried more often, rather than letting lawyers decide strategy - which will always be "More billable hours".
[citation needed]. You and I know that it makes sense, but making sense has very little to do with IT policies.
Or maybe she was secretly gay? Damn gays, ruining the sanctity of bee marriage with their... gay rays.
I'd like to think that their expenditure will be a defence of "Oh, for the love of God, really?"

To be fair, the "editors" have a policy of not. Editing. Ever.
No, that's what he's done. It's not what he wants. He wants them to pay him money for the privileged of indexing.
It takes one line in robots.txt. If that takes more than 5 minutes to do, his IT nerds are overpaid.

Exclusivity is the mechanism, not the purpose. Comprehension fail.

But appearances to the contrary, he doesn't have sociopathic tendencies, and was genuinely just trying to help.

I know, it's just super-neat how if I give $100 to a scholarship fund, it costs Haliburton $20. That'll show 'em!
Yes, yes, now everyone has the right to vote for either Tweedledum or Tweedledee (or Tweedledumdee).
