The Ninth Circuit addresses that argument in some detail: it points out that just because a foreign suit is meritorious doesn't mean it isn't an attempt to do an end run round the US court. The US action was filed first, and Motorola's attempt to seek an injunction in a more favorable jurisdiction seems like a transparent attempt to apply pressure in the first-filed action.
The US courts take international comity seriously; one of the three factors the court considered was whether the injunction was an intolerable affront to US-German relations. But here the US action, in addition to being first, would also plainly resolve the German action, since what the US court is deciding is whether Motorola is obligated to grant a worldwide license to Microsoft. If it does, then Microsoft gets a license and Motorola isn't allowed to assert its patents against Microsoft *anywhere*.
The advantage of a graphing calculator is that it's made for just that -- calculating. The (conveniently placed) keys and display are a lot more convenient than having the Palm screen adapted to the purpose.
Actually, Kramnik is not the World Champion currently. That honour rests with Ruslan Ponomariov, 18-years old, from Ukraine. (You can see his webpage here). Ponomariov became the sixteenth World Champion on January 23, 2002 after beating countryman Vasilly Ivanchuk.
Because of unfair playing conditions, and also because he didn't have access to DB before the match. Therefore, matches between Kramnik and Fritz will take place every other day, be adjourned after 60 moves, and Fritz will not be reprogrammed between matches.
Currently, opinion is siding with Kramnik. GMs Nigel Short and Raymond Keene predict a Kramnik win.
Part of the GPL is that any software covered under it should be freely distributable (this is basically what 3/4 of RMS's lectures complain about). However, as The Lindows.com FAQ points out, people who get Lindows are not allowed to distribute it. Even if they don't distribute their source, this sure looks like a GPL violation to me.
Firstly, notice that this supposed "proof" is a preprint. That means it hasn't been peer-reviewed. As often happens with proofs of open problems, there appears to be a working proof and everyone gets excited, but on further reviewing, the proof is found not to work, at least without some modification. (This happened with Wiles' proof of Fermat's last theorem. I have a shirt of Wiles running after the equation x^n + y^n = z^n in a butterfly net which was made before the gap in his proof was fixed.)

Actually, the fact that you fall if you jump off a skyscraper is the fact of gravity.
The theory of gravity would be something like F ~ m_1*m_2/R^2.
Everyone knows that dinosaurs died during the Great Flood.

Are you sure? Pakistan and Bangladesh never played in the world cup (They were in different pools)

The game went as follows:
