Yeah, and PCs designs all come from IBM. So what ?
Who controls the ICANN is really of very minor importance today. But if US government thinks it controls it, it is a huge mistake. It would be easy for ISPs to roll their own DNS registries decorrelated from ICANN's. They simply don't do it for the benefit of interoperability. But as soon as the ICANN will to control becomes more inconvenient than marginal interoperability problems, ICANN will become instantly irrelevant.
Germans learned from nazism and sovietism that privacy was a damn serious issue. That any entity with personal information about several million people can turn into something nasty. They completely understand how IP logs could be used in a bad way, Americans tend to be optimistic about this but Germans already have undergone two periods of oppression that relied on an extensive invasion of privacy.
I doubt that speech recognition is ready to be used as an alternative to keyboards to type text, but I think it can become, after the keyboard and the mouse, a third input device that would boost the productivity of a computer user.
At one moment you will need to help your decaying and suboptimal human body. You may refuse comfort now but it will be a question of survival in a few years.
Have you an example verse that is not open to metaphorical interpretation and uncontingent on present-day constructs of Geometry you'd like to present for discussion?
I prefer to take the opposite direction and interpret everything the Bible says. I have yet to find a Christian who is happy to hear my heresies however.
Oh, and to find personal spiritual advices, I interpret Star Wars dialogs, at least there are good fighting scenes and the original version is in a language I understand. Seriously, find me a situation in real life that I cannot bible-like-metaphor (new verb!) from Star Wars.
Well lobbying is called corruption in some weird places and has been outlawed. And in some even weird places, people don't vote for corrupt politicians.
They use electrical power to vaporize water and generate mechanical momentum for MEMS device. I am not sure if the water circuit is opened or closed. If closed, this would qualify as a Stirling engine.
37% seems very high to me for an OS no one wants. The impossible seems like it will happen : Vista will become the most used OS in spite of the fact that no one wants it.
Apparently, web-based version with a little twist nobody thought to implement before (there is a voice chat with web based chess and contextual ads! Yay!) could be patented.
Well sleepless people would consume more (probably 6 meals a day) and would have more leisure time as well. This require more work/money. The important statistic is the ratio between time spent at work and time spent having fun.
Also, even if it shorten the lifespan of individuals when counted in days of life, it would be interesting to see if it extends it when counted in "awaken hours".
Laws intent should be to help the society mature. I would like to see the term "Anonymous coward" become more common use in law (i.e. someone who can't be found and has no legal responsibility) and journalism (i.e. affirmations that he makes must have an intrinsic merit, not be factual).
The society is indeed not mature at all, but going the easy way just leads to Idiocracy. I guess you will have to explain to your employer or girlfriend what kind of merit these accusations have. And if that fails, nothing forbids you to post your own praises anonymously, at least to show to people the merit that these accusations have.
Anonymous accusations have no credibility, it would show some maturity in society to just ignore them instead of suing their anonymous authors.
Anonymous deth threats have no more credibility.
Racist rethoric is, as far as I know, free speech.
Posting of financial and medical records are possible only if someone has made a criminal incompetence in a bank or at a medical database. You should sue them instead.

How long before it detects "hazardous materials" such as drugs ?
I think they probably took their name from this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNO6G4ApJQY

... these songs, yeah I know, it is a lot of them. I know that's wrong, but that's a human error, you can surely understand that ?
... but just for fun, let's replace every page of microsoft.com by a standard-compliant version.

If you give it free, then you are a communist. Fortunately, we, in France, protect our market from these soviet American business practices.

... are we for or against log conservation ?
I guess some politicians discovered that it was not that convenient...

This 90's video gallery website show you various MEMS device, including a steam engine (2nd video) http://www.memx.com/movie_gallery.htm

They speak of an "impressive VGA resolution" but no numbers in the article. Someone has any idea of the number of pixel this thing can output ?

I am still shocked that it takes a service pack to get these right.

We need a +1 wishful thinking.
I hope you are right, but this guy may well have a case in the current legal system
So how is a partial paper ballot useful for verification ?

But where are the atoms at this... energy density ?
iTouch and iPhone have multitouch capabilities already.
