Interesting that you should choose a website that's been mostly offline for the past 5 months because they can't meet their budget. That's the problem with "free" (as in beer) press -- it still costs money to run. I'd urge you (and anyone else interested in preserving Wikileaks) to donate.

Apparently you weren't paying attention. The irony, of course, is that they really want you to think the same. Perhaps unfortunately for them, I took them up on their suggestion: I've got a jailbroken, unlocked iPhone, and an OSX installation on my white box PC. I don't, however, foresee an iPad purchase.
The trend there is increased social and culinary westernization, not a biological shift.
Hmm , I find it implausable that millions of people in one part of the world would completely ignore a very nutritious and readily available form of food for millenia simply out of culinary preference.
Really? In the US, insect and reptile consumption is virtually nonexistent, fish is a very small percentage of our diet (even on the coasts), and about the only eggs we eat are chicken eggs. We're one of the few western nations that don't consume blood, which is extremely nutritious, nor do we eat organ meat, aside from the occasional liver. Despite the availability of a wide range of vegetables, corn and potatoes dominate consumption patterns. I'm pretty sure spinach intolerance isn't to blame.
I think geographical proper nouns should be valid -- countries, cities, etc. -- although maybe limited to those with official spellings in the Latin alphabet.

There's actually no rule for how a court comes up with its own decisions; at least none with the force of law. Stare decisis is a principle, but whether or not previous decisions by a given court are repeated (or even applicable to the case at hand) is left to the discretion of the individual judge(s) or justice(s). Honestly, as much as it's held to be a sacred standard, it's even more of a de facto description of the behavior of the courts than anything. A court does not wantonly change its methods unless there is good reason to do so, but that's typical human behavior anyway (we don't normally change our reasoning unless we have good reason to do so) and in any event, "good reason" is subjective; not objectively disprovable. Lower courts are, of course, "mandated" to follow the precedents set by their superior counterparts, but since each case is unique, there is still room for discretion.
As for the text of the law, even Justice Scalia, a devout textualist, strays from his strict adherence when he believes the law is in error. In other words, the law is more than the text itself. The extent to, and circumstances under, which external factors apply is a matter of ongoing debate. Indeed, the idea that it could ever be fully settled both conflicts with the reality of human nature to meddle, and implies that the law will, at some point, be "finished," which is comedic.
Wow, if you feel that strongly about made up statistics, you must really blow a load when you see real statistics then. And before you shoot the messenger (Adobe) as the source for information about their own products, note that Shockwave is listed at 52%.
Look, I know there are people who don't install Flash -- both of them are quite vocal here on Slashdot -- but for everyone else it's one of the first Add-Ons downloaded. As the above poster stated, those who care can and will figure out how to disable it. Although frankly, since there's no Flash for Lynx, I'm surprised they even care at all.
That's why I bought a Sorny PlayStayshin III instead. I can do whatever I want with it*, and there are never any updates that disable features. In fact, there are never any updates. It runs MAME great though. Well, extremely slowly, but that just makes the games more playable IMO.

Whew. Thank God you were here to discredit an entire industry, along with NSA/DOD approved methods for the declassification (aka destruction) of classified government media.
Now if you'll just update this Wikipedia article, we can all sleep soundly, knowing that our magnetic media is indeed impervious to magnetic fields.
There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for any congressional representative to be voting in favor of this bill without having a clear analysis of the entire bill in the form it was to be voted on, no matter how good the bill is or is not.
In an ideal world, you would be correct. It's usually true that the shortcut is to do it the right way the first time. Unfortunately, this was necessary as a foot-in-the-door measure, where spending more time would further erode already dwindling public support, while giving the opposition time to spread more FUD. Now that the laws have been established, they can be amended and revised as necessary. It may sound foolish, and it may be regrettable, but it's also a fact of life in politics, and happens to be the exact method by which our government was established: The agreeable meat of the Constitution was first ratified, followed only later by what may be the most fundamental, though more controversial (at the time), aspect of our society: the ten amendments that constitute our Bill of Rights. You know, the part that explicitly allows us keep and bear arms, and protest on the steps of the Capitol (albeit not simultaneously).
While there were no Republican votes, I am inclined to believe that the reason, as with the Nay votes from Democrats, is simply because the votes weren't necessary. The Nay votes allowed the representatives in question to return to their districts and extol their voting record, whether or not they personally agreed with the measure. I likewise believe that these individuals may well end up looking foolish in the long run, having voted to throw out the baby with the bathwater (ostensibly in the name of the baby, as the inaccurate, if well intentioned, anti-abortionist rationale goes).
Fortunately for everyone, as with all other legislation, in a few years the public will neither know nor care who voted which way, or by what margin this bill was passed. If the matter is pressed in an election year, the politicians will be able to claim that time and experience have endowed them with the wisdom to make better decisions in the future, and so accountability is lost.

Additionally, the healthcare provider's income lost through BKs is made up through higher bills for everyone else. Of course when presented with that little fact, anti-"socialized medicine" folks will fall back on the argument that they don't want the government involved in [anything of benefit], which is inevitably an opinion based on something unrelated but "applicable" nonetheless.

The problem is that there are a lot more hacks who can be replaced by a monkey, and their job has suddenly gotten a hell of a lot more competitive.
Damn those monkeys! Why don't they go back to monkey-land instead of coming here and taking all our jobs!!
Apple has never, once, told me what to think

I don't see how this "exploits" their work.
When you're as old as Rupert, you'll "understand" everything.
You obviously missed a post in the thread...
Well first of all, your premise is false: both milk and yogurt are available in typical Japanese grocery stores. Milk is served in the Japanese school lunch program, and milk consumption in Japan has been increasing since WWII.

They're not.
Man, I *wish* I had it that good. The last 360 update not wiped my save games, it also stole my dog and gave me syphilis.

I guess that explains why Google returns 0 results for any subset of the above "quote" that I tried.
By that logic, I shouldn't attend any event where a racist might show up.

They can't do that either.

From the comments on TFA:
Hahaha.. Not for long! In fact, pretty soon you won't even be able to play with *dudes* for free.
Dudes?!?? No, no, I said prudes! Tee hee!
The judge will just throw you in jail for contempt. It's the guy on Cell Block B who does the real work of changing hearts and minds.
Better a fabricated lawsuit than a lubricated fatsuit, I always say...
