Sorry I wasn't trying to justify anything, on the contrary, and the various injustices mentioned all happened at the same time. I was just trying to explain why some seems resolved while other continues to resurface. The reason is obviously not about age, since they all happened at the same time, and all have living people it happened to.
If you clicked the link I helpfully included you'd see plenty of sponsorship of Top Gear along the lines you mention.
Of the TV program or of different events outside the TV program?
Sorry. The TV program is not sponsored, and they have made fun of the BP disaster. You are usually pretty well-informed, but on this issue you need to either watch more Top Gear or shut up.
The difference is this: if someone was born on some land, they have a better moral case than those who were not.
No, that is not the difference. East Prussia was lost right after WW2 too, and there are still many germans alive who was born there. Same with polish borders and stuff.
Btw. What makes Israel special is that haven't annexed Palestine, and they haven't done that because it would either force them to either commit genocide or abandoning the idea of Israel as a jewish state. Because of this logic, they are forced to be in an eternal state of war with the occupied territories to keep Israel a jewish state with a jewish majority.
You can argue that thats not enough, but to imply that there isnt some evidence is just incorrect. RIAA has had evidence; its just been bad evidence. And you will note the difficulty in actually getting a conviction with such bad evidence; all of the RIAAs wins have basically been either people who were guilty and perjured themselves into a corner (Tenenbaum), or people who were guilty and also... perjured themselves into a corner (Rasset). Nothing prevents you from falsly accusing your neighbor of something with tenuous evidence; youll simply lose your case and likely be liable for defense's costs (and possibly a countersuing).
Does that distinction make a difference if a third party intervenes and enforces rules based on the RISK of getting sued?
Anyway I am glad to hear RIAA are losing many of these cases, I was starting to really worry about the state of US justice. Maybe I should be more optimistic? I have recently regained the faith in my local legal system because the danish equivalent to RIAA dropped all piracy cases after the danish supreme court ruled that an open WiFi does constitute a valid defense, and even in the one or two cases a conviction was achieved (by confession) the damages was set at cost-price per album shared which totaled only a few hundred dollars.
There is separation between reviews and features, the features are often staged and has lots of jokes in them. The reviews are supposed to be serious, and every two or three shows they inform of corrections they have been asked to make because one of the reviews was flawed - usually Clarkson stating something didn't work, and the auto-manufacturer correctly objecting Clarkson was simply too stupid to operate. Since these corrections happens so frequently I find it hard to believe they would dismiss the objections from Tesla unless they were wrong.
That is the difference between practice and theory. In theory you are not liable for actions of others, and in theory you are assumed innocent until proven guilty. In practice you might be liable for the actions of others, precisely because you are assumed guilty until proven innocent.
*) this of course only applies in countries with a rotten legal system
Exactly. Wikipedia is expert hostile. There is no procedures for evaluating merit, and using simple logic constitutes research, the only valid arguments on wp are: officially) who can find the most links on the web unofficially) who has the highest authority as a wikipedia editor/closest to founders.
Which is why they are changing the top of the line. The question is who will supply the middle segment? remember, that dispite all the media hype, Symbian still sells way better than the iPhone (I think all androids combined overtook it though). It may not be better but by being cheaper and more mobile it appeals to a different segment.
Yeah, getting an order of magnitude better battery life is just so old-fashioned. We should embrace the tied to the wall model of real modern mobile OS (sigh).
Actually most PC games run perfectly fine on '03 hardware. High-end 2003 hardware I admit (actually high-end 2001 hardware with a 2003 GPU upgrade) but still more powerful than an xbox360, and thus perpetually fast enough (until xbox360 is retired).
As awesome as C++ is, and Bjarne is for designing it. You should not listen to Bjarne for programming advise. Close you eyes are imagine STL, exceptions and RTTI does not exist, and you have one of the fastest, most expressive and most portable languages in the world.
Uhmm.. If you are porting C++ application then don't rely on stuff like that, or use a portable framework. I know it can seem counter-intuitive, but the standard library for C++ is NOT considered portable (especially performance wise), since it has different implementations on different platforms. If you desire portability use a framework designed for it, like Qt for instance.
Well, that would be a fair argument if the same wasn't true for human players. What distinguish a good chess player from a casual is the sheer knowledge of opening moves and common patterns which you have to read about and duplicate.
Well, users in advertisement are called personas, they may or may not be based on real users, sometimes they just examples of users the product has been designed for, but even if they are real, they are played by actors because real users make lousy actors.
Limiting lock down is in itself a lock down. Do you see the irony?
So is imprisoning kidnappers. What is your point? Punishing those that take freedom away, but taking their freedom away. In one way ironic, in another, very appropriate.

Pure electric cars only work in everyday lives, not the epic road trips that is the lifeblood of Top Gear.

That is unless the computer failed to record the fail?

Well, that was I implied by the second point. Thank you for clarifying and improving my contribution ;)
I did forget one point though that counts for a lot:
c) Who has the least life and is willing to sacrifice most time.
The two listed arguments are only ever used if the issue gets to a debate, but that require one party to not already having quit

Both of these are stupid and unacademic.

Android has been on tablets for at least 2 years, probably longer. Stop trying to ignore anything that isn't made by your own favorite manufacturers.

Well, not using firefox, I used konqueror. It worked somewhat, but not in fullscreen.
Phone companies are required by law to track the location of a cell phone, and make this information available for 112 (911) calls.

The idea is that the radio has only paid to broadcast it for private consumption. Commercial consumption has to pay extra.. But yes it is insanity

What if no one in the real world appreciates your WoW accomplishments?
You didn't ssh home and start firefox on the home computer through a ssh-X tunnel to watch youtube? Nooob.
Well, users in advertisement are called personas, they may or may not be based on real users, sometimes they just examples of users the product has been designed for, but even if they are real, they are played by actors because real users make lousy actors.
I only trust experts with vested interests if they speak against their own interest.
