Quibble/correction: That's Ironforge and Orgrimmar, or it used to be; Shattrath is now just as, if not more, important. Stormwind and Undercity are "second-stringer" cities; Darnassus and Thunder Bluff, Exodar and... hell, I can't even remember the blood elf city name... are pretty much ghost towns.

[2. Trade]Ptwink(2): yeah ok.

Or quality, either. This is why much, much better implementations of things languish because the original idea, thought up by semicompetents, is *copyright*.
The trouble is, they're shooting *us* in our feet *too*. These idiotic decisions don't only affect the company that makes them, they affect everyone involved.
Like my "Lord of the Bracelets" Scrabulous deserves to be found infringing and shut down.
No.
You are missing one ver, very, very vital question. Whether the first or second work is better. Scrabulous is better than any other implementation, bar none, of online Scrabble. Mere "firstness" should have no more meaning in law than it does on online forums: quality of the work, as judged by the users, ought to be at least equal to firstness among the deciding factors.
However, just because it can now recognise 98% of speech from a brand new, untrained user does not mean that it understands that speech, much less processes it like a human.
Dear God, let this be true.

No, it's the apotheosis of capitalism. Since capitalism says "making money is the highest human goal", and protecting human dignity and rights is a lower goal, then of course the capitalists will, eventually, subvert the mechanisms of government towards that end.
Video display denial due to geolocation is one of the most utterly fucktarded features of the modern WWW. Firstly, it's fairly trivial to circumvent if the viewer is sufficiently interested. Or they can just download it from a P2P site or YouTube. Secondly, you really, really are being an asshole. It might gain you some trivial commercial advantage; it may be your "right"; but, you're an asshole all the same.
Personally, I'd say that's the real problem. Even if for some real or idiotic reason you don't want to ship to Canada, there's nothing to say that the "Canadian" you're bouncing from your online store doesn't want to have the item delivered somewhere you will ship to. Front page is the proper place to declare shipping destination policy; delivery address is the proper place to perform the software check.
1. Money is good. Money is God's way of showing who he likes, and who he doesn't. (Except for George Soros.)
2. Things that are done for money are good. Corollary: people wouldn't do good things but for being given money. Well, we wouldn't, and we have no problem extrapolating to everybody.

It's interesting that he argues (and his psychiatrist apparently accepted) that his actions are derived from religious impulse rather than insanity. I would argue that the opposite is true: his insanity has caused him to fervently embrace a religious impulse, past the point of ordinary, sane, religious practice.
Religion causes whackjobs, but whackjobs cause more religion.
I would make the case that "oaths of office" are mere ceremonial acknowledgement of actual occupation of the office. The occupation of the office is created firstly by the appointment, by a person authorized to do so (recursively), of the occupier to the office, and secondly by the acceptance, by word and deed, of the occupier of the responsibilities of the office. Providing social security number and bank deposit details and next of kin to the payroll department would, in my view, provide greater evidence of intention to serve in the position than the taking or otherwise of an oath.
Generally whatever is sworn in the office is what you are supposed to do. If your office requires you to "uphold the constitution" (whatever that means - and I would expect someone who occupies such an office should have a firm idea), then that's what you're supposed to do, whether you took an oath or not, from before you even take the oath, 'til the day you leave the office (and after, in many cases). If you're going to not uphold the constitution, an "oath" will not stop you.
It's a relic of feudalism and in the modern context is about as serious a matter as "did we have a staff morning tea with drinks to welcome her?".
Right, telling a judge that they don't have the authority to hear your case will SURELY persuade them to go lenient on you.
You do have the right to question a court's jurisdiction. However, there is a strong presumption that they do have it, and there are ways to go about it that do not constitute a challenge to the judge's personal integrity. If your problem is with the judge's personal integrity, you appeal to a higher court.
The trouble is that once someone finds a working strategy for beating the market and uses it on a large scale, others notice and replicate it, and it becomes the market.
The current example is, "investing in real estate".

No. There is one simple way for a President to avoid being impeached. In the words of Jim Carrey, in Liar Liar: "STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!"

3. Spamming is done for money.
4. Therefore spamming is good.
