The governments represented by the EU cannot pass any law they like; they must respect the treaties they've signed, including those on copyrights and patents. These treaties do not permit confiscation of the copyrights or patents of a US-based company, and the U.S. could pursue trade sanctions if the EU attempted this.
Your modification makes no grammatical sense. "NYT claim that plug-in technology would add $2000 to $3000 to the cost of a hybrid car" in that sentence is a compound noun: the claim made by the NYT that [...]. Taking out all the modifiers, his sentence is "The NYT claim is pure BS." Your proposed modification to "The NYT claims is pure BS." does not work.
Most of the successful small bands that market themselves that I'm familiar with make most of their money by selling things other than strictly the music itself, since they know anyone can pirate that.
Basic CS research ought to be funded, IMO, but there's no reason completely open-ended CS research should be funded by DARPA---that's what the National Science Foundation is for.
Of course, this cut in DARPA funding is unlikely to be matched by a commensurate increase in NSF funding, which is the real problem...
"camera-ready", in some contexts anyway, has come to be a generic term for "fully laid out with the proper fonts and illustrations in place and etc. and ready to be printed as is". In academic journals, this is to distinguish from previously common practice where you'd basically send in your text and your figures, and the journal's staff would do the layout.
I have a private ISP who provides me 5 Mbps symmetric service for $40/month. Of course, I also shopped for apartment complexes with that in mind, and found one pre-wired with ethernet.
The standard in the "big iron" database world is that no matter what the hardware lies to you about, you can still come up in a consistent state, assuming that there is some time t in the past at which all data up to that point is successfully written to disk. Algorithms for figuring out what hasn't been written yet, even in the face of inconsistent write caches, are probably 30 years old by now.
Losing recent changes is certainly acceptable, but the DB simply giving up and saying "restore from backup" isn't.
AI has always "failed" because every time it's succeeded, the problem it succeeded on has been retroactively defined to "not require intelligence". Cf. automated theorem proving, chess playing, control of chemical plants, and just about any other AI success of 1940s - present.
If you look at platform changes, you're not as directly measuring the effect of browser competition, as you now have another significant variable. If you do Windows-only results, then it's more likely that any observed changes are actually due to people liking Firefox more than IE.
Living in major cities costs more. Sure, he could probably make twice as much in Silicon Valley--but he might well have expenses so much higher than he'd actually end up with less money left over.
If you have a life-threatening condition and no insurance or money to pay for treatment, hospitals are legally required to admit you the emergency room and treat you without payment.
It's not like the Republicans secretly have been promoting the New Deal since the 1930s, and all of a sudden are backstabbing their once beloved programs. The New Deal was in essence socialist, and quite contrary to the Republican policy positions of then and now.
Michael has irritated a lot of people over the years, so when an opportunity comes up to complain, there's a lot of people who do, and a lot more people who smile and say "finally!"
(Whether this is a good or bad phenomenon is left as an exercise to the reader.)
A third possibility, and perhaps the most common, is that company A wants to purchase a large portion of company B, but thinks some of it is useless. So they buy company B, keep the parts they like, and get rid of the rest. There can be any number of reasons for this: One of the more common is that company B's strategists had been making speculative entries into businesses outside their core business, and company A's strategists think these were a bad idea and so cancel them.
Is it that hard to believe that Oracle might have really wanted 80% of Peoplesoft's business, but thought 20% of it was dead weight? With different management cultures and outlook, it's very unlikely that company A will buy company B and agree that 100% of its activities are exactly in keeping with what they want to do.

Most countries, including the U.S., do not typically extradict their own citizens for economic crimes.
Most power in the U.S. is produced at coal-fired power plants, which aren't exactly environmentally friendly.

A large portion of academic journals have switched to requiring all submissions in camera-ready PDF.
...the government and corporations are the same people!

They don't actually charge you for the Service Packs, while Apple does charge you for the point releases.

Now what about the Windows-only problem?

One ought to expect sudden health crises. What, you think they only happen to other people?
Are you saying that there are innate psychological differences between men and women?
POTS not good enough?
But the inverse isn't necessarily true.

That is indeed something of a tortuous name.
