Didja catch the "--" above the bit about the lawyers? That means that the lawyer line was a sig and to be taken accordingly; i.e., irony, sarcasm, whatever, but not dead seriously, thank you.
Ah, so I'm not the only person who actually makes an attempt to RTFA. Comforting to know.
And in answer to your question, I would offer the alturistic guess that the link was either copied incorrectly and got truncated, or as the submitter was surfing from the home page to the article the URL in his browser's address bar wasn't changing, leaving him with the home page reference. Many sites are resorting to this, especially for searches that dynamically create temporary pages with the search results. IBM does this, for example.
As for the polls, what I am continually pissed about it that no one reports the "undecided" percentages. Of course that would muck with the bias of whomever it is presenting the polling data.
Well, I've not accidentally allowed to be compromised a database of 1.4 million people's personal info.

Unlike golden eggs, software patents have no intrinsic value--they are just words on paper. Consequently this analogy is much more dubious than the one under discussion.
Analogies are not equivacations, and the orginal poster was true to form in that he wasn't equivacating. Software patent stockpiles, like nuclear weapon stockpiles (and unlike inidiviual nuclear weapns), are infinitely more concerned about the threat than they are about having the bluff called and intervening in a real manner; e.g., if you feel threatend about running pirated software, you're much more likely to aquire a license than not.

Lawyers are like nuclear weapons: If I get you, you get one; once released, they cannot be recalled; once hit, they screw everything up.
You are both missing the point. Look at how the cold war ended. After the close of WWII, how many nuclear weapons were used?
Patent stockpiling is indeed similar to nuclear weapons stockpiling: it's about the posturing.
Is this legal?

Unfortunately for Linux users, there is no option to not have any OS installed.
If this condition is license driven by Microsoft, isn't it a violation of their anti-trust agreement?
While it can certainly be substantiated that the the Bush administration's policies didn't cause or contribute to the cause of the recession, he most certainly is on the hook for dealing with it. Argueing about when it began is both counterproductive and rather clueless on his part, as it does do anything to change the situation.
March 01 is the latest number the media is using. However, the massive layoffs started in November of 2000. Think Gillett, IBM, Kodak and a few other of the major players.
and the somewhat different catagory of improper usage where people write "c/sh/would of" instead of "c/sh/would've". There's more of these as well, but the coffee hasn't quite kicked in enough for me to dredge them up.
The probes aren't polarized; i.e., they aren't magnetically aligned north & south as a whole, so it would take a rather strong magnetic field. I'm not sure if we'd be able to detect a magnectic that strong or not. The bigger question would be from where would such a field be produced? Neptune has a magnetosphere but I don't think both probes did fly-bys of Neptune.

which unfortunately involves suing the living bejezus out of everyone in sight.
I have a living bejezus in me?
So what you are really saying is that they aren't just lawyers, they're exorsits?
McKool Smith? He's the agent from the Matrix that never talked, just stood in the back and observed very, very carefully.
This is very basic and covers roughly anything displaying interactive 3d on a 2d screen...
Makes you wonder why they aren't suing any CAD hardware or software vendors.

You think he runs this country? Think again
Actually, Bush thinks and acts like he runs the country.
"The United States of America has the sovereign authority to use force in assuring its own national security. That duty falls to me, as Commander-in-Chief, by the oath I have sworn, by the oath I will keep."
Bush also thinks and acts as if the laws of the US don't apply to him
They had catastrophic consequeces for those on board without having a nuclear rocket.
The diagram of the engine is fairly straightforward, but they didn't show the manual ejection system for the reactor core, or the ducts to route plasma and coolent from the engine to the navigational deflectors, or the ducts from the bussard collectors
Nothing is 100% safe; consequently the real question is "what is the acceptable rate of failure?".

Have some free clues:
The recession stared in March 01
The GDP most certainly did drop and recovery hasn't been as strong
Bush has lied about this in the past
earlier this year, Bush tried to manipulate the reporting of this for political purposes

From TFA:
Psychology majors enjoyed a 2 percent increase with entry-level salaries averaging $28,230.
Is this some strange useage of the word "enjoyed" with which I was not previously familiar?

But expecting /. editors to recall that would be like expecting them to get effect and affect correct.
Here's an affect/effect primer with which they can practice.
The question is can we develop the technology to detect tractor beams all the way out there from here?
They run the NASDAQ on Sybase.
That ought to be a good enough endorsement for anyone, I think.
There are, evidentally, certain things we are not going to be allowed to know.
