So you want the programmers to hack together a one-project-only engine and try their hands on the content instead of having the programmers work on a universal engine and hire somebody else to concentrate on the content, later implementing it with the engine as a tool?
Let me rephrase that: The bookie is very clever...

The bookie is nuts. It's pretty certain that nobody would even get a permission to build a fusion power station, let alone build one in the next 6 years. Heck, solid plans for a plant are unlikely in that timeframe.
This isn't about freedom of speech, it's about selling illegal products. The problem is not that Yahoo makes available "speech", but that it makes available for purchase, even if not directly, products that are illegal in France. It's not the content, it's the service. And this ruling simply says that being an American company is not a cop-out from doing illegal things while selling abroad.
And similarly, anti-Israel folks like yourself ignore the similar number of Jews that were forced out of Arab countries, or "ethnically-cleansed" since you prefer that terminology. However, since they were welcomed by Israel, they seem to lose refugee status and suddenly become the 'bad guys' because they're now Israeli.
Many of that force consisted of terrorist attacks by (what was later found to be) Israely agents.
Let's look at the PA. I bet you're not aware that it is illegal under penalty of death for any Palestinian to sell land to any Jew. Period. Note - not Israeli, but JEW. Why doesn't any human rights champion condemn this? It seems only Israel is the violator of human rights in the region.
""We must expropriate gently the private property on the state assigned to us. We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it employment in our country. The property owners will come over to our side. Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discretely and circumspectly. Let the owners of the immoveable property believe that they are cheating us, selling us things for more than they are worth. But we are not going to sell them anything back." - Theodor Herzl. Nah, that couldn't have anything to do with it.
The entire point of zionism was to eject the indigenous population of palestine and create a state of jewish people.
Close but no cigar. There was no intent to "eject the indigenous population", that's just how it turned out. Yeah, of course some rightwingers wanted to do just that but most Zionists didn't, and it wasn't a main point of Zionism. In fact, it was debated whether to even go to Palestine vs. some other European area.
And you didn't even link the most dramatic case, that of actual exploding batteries. And no, this isn't some Nokia-like third party battery situation, these were the real Apple-supplied batteries (though that article does go out of the way to point out they were "Sony-made").
Apple's got some real quality control issues, despite their reputation.
Too bad (for you) that not a single one of those 5300s exploded in the lap of a customer, because Apple found out about the problem before any machines where shipped. Which means they had good quality control. Quite unlike Dell, over and over again.
Well, "a device that makes you loads of money" is a pretty obvious idea too, the actual implementation is the kicker. And if case modders had done it, they would have boasted about it, and there would be dozens of imitations.
Sadly for Apple, their souped-up 8 bit offerings aimed at business failed miserably because they were overpriced and underpowered in comparison to IBM's PC, which entered the market at about $1500USD while the Apple III cost about $3500 the time.
You do know that you are comparing prices for the ultra-low-end IBM PC without Floppy and monitor (instead with TV and cassette interface) text-only and 16KB of RAM to the III (revised) with 256KB RAM, build-in Floppy and high-res graphics? (I can't find information whether that price includes the Monitor III)
Others remember the continued arrogance and mistakes regarding OS licensing long ago. "Apple could potentially become the Microsoft of online music," they say. But this could only potentially happen by cannibalizing iPod sales. The iPod would be akin to the "PC"; the iTunes Music Store would be "Windows".
IOW Apple could be the IBM desktop PC division of online music.
Make it like it's done in most countries over the world. If there isn't one candidate getting the absolute majority of votes, have a second round with only the top two candidates. That way you can have the protest vote in the first round, and the vote that chooses the lesser of the evils in the second.
Even with the most cumbersome voting technology it should be possible to hold the second round after three weeks and have the result ready for the electoral college.

Do the Amish pay taxes? Yes, they do.

Free shipping to the planets we find?
What percentage of Californian people over the age of 20 still have their original teeth?
What else is and has been the domain of high end x86, if not the multiprocessor server market?
Let's call it Cockroach, 'cause it just won't die ;-)
But "x" is good marketing!
Yet, several did try to write one, but failed. And then went into a tirade how it was all Apple's fault.

Of course there was no "intent to eject the indigenous population", the original claim of many Zionists was that there was no indigenous population (apart from a few Jews)in Palestine. "Palestine is a country without a people; the Jews are a people without a country."

The problem is that the different language Wikis are not translations of another. They often even contain different "facts".
Not even his film critics.
He certainly couldn't remember anything about the Iran-Contra mess.
I'll tell you what is illegal in most democracies: having methods of voting that can't reliably be recounted - or counted it the first place.
IOW Apple could be the IBM desktop PC division of online music.
IOW if all the votes all over Florida had been counted correctly, Gore might have won. Good thing nobody ever expected that to happen.
No, it was an expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning. Isn't it ironic when the supports of the true meaning of "irony" get it wrong?

Only that this isn't iPod technology, it's a stripped down iTunes player.
