Well, because for massive chunks of it we know that it is true. There are large amounts of historiography that attempt to match up biblical texts with archaeological and other sources. Sometimes it is fruitless - we'll probably never know if the Exodus was real or simply an attempt at a foundation myth - but whatever he said or did, Jesus of Nazareth really did walk the earth, was baptised, and was crucified. So purely from a historical research perspective there is value in working out what did and did not occur in the bible.
The Afghanis whose country we parked ourselves in for thirteen years despite unremitting hostility, that we left solely because we couldn't sustain the political will? Those Afghanis?
More like their lawyers assembled a case, made some arguments, pointed out it would be difficult but there was a case that could be pleaded, the suits realised that if they won they would have something valuable on their hands, and decided to take a punt.
The striking thing about the Whatsapp userbase is how damned active it is. You have 450m users, about 75% active, sending 50 billion messages a day. That's ~150 messages per user per day. If you can't mine that for value you're doing something very wrong. The second point is Whatsapp does charge users - 99c per year. So a reasonably stable cash flow in the millions with a growing userbase.
Had to go and look it up. More than I thought - about a third of a cow. But on the other hand, there are at least an order of magnitude more cows out there.
The point at which you are exchanging fire with four people is one that you would be better off taking serious steps to avoid. And in practice, you're best chance of winning such a firefight would be running in the opposite direction, dodging from side to side occasionally.
Not my area, but I suspect that a few minutes of calculation on entropy, energy and information would prove pretty quickly that the multiple simulated iniverses theory is nonsense.
A common complaint and one that is absolute nonsense. Certainly a manager must understand his company's work, and more, but a a manager does not do the job of his underling and being able to do the job of his underling does not teach him how to be a manager. Indeed, management and programming are in some ways similar - a poorly understood profession that is difficult to evaluate except when the project ends in failure.
Fuck me, the arrogance of slashdot posters is unre-fucking-lenting. "I looked at a jet once and this isn't a problem". WHAT. THE. FUCK. You couldn't be assed to spend ten seconds googling and discover a vast array of materials addressing the points you raise in quite some detail. Yes, it's a problem. No, I'm not going to hold your hand and take you through it in detail. Fuck off and grow a frontal lobe.
You don't even have to RTFA to see that the court, and the appeal court, threw out the charge relating to downloading the documents. The only charges that stuck were related to reproduction, something that is illegal in one way or another in most places.
I am pretty sure that if we were all driving around in our own personal nuclear reactors we would have applied some reasonably stringent safety standards to them.
No. One thrid of people over 95 have *some* level of dementia; only a fraction of those are severaly demented. The number doubles, roughly, for every five years of age.

I hope you never have to go on opiates to manage chronic pain, but one positive side effect is you would realise how damn stupid you sound right now.

In 1790, you could fight and win a war with angry, motivated civilians. Today, not so much.

No, but if I sell you a set of tyres than six month later your brake lines fail because you didn't service the car properly, I'm not to blame.
Two words: established userbase.
No, the non-returnee knew nothing of the non-returned video until she was in a jail cell for it.

Well, at least they still get the slash and the dot in the right order.
Actually, horses have a single stomach and produce minimal, if any, methane.
Build costs of long term management into contracts and use proven low-waste technology. Next!

There is mixed evidence on cessation rates. There is unequivocal evidence on inception rates.
