The problem with the RIAA and MPAA is that their terms aren't reasonable. These two organizations and their member orgs have been dragged kicking and screaming into the new millennium. Their failure to offer reasonably priced compelling legitimate options is what makes the piracy faction so large and so gleeful.
You know what kills piracy? Netflix and Spotify, not SOPA.
It's also seen as less powerful because it's more confusing (dynamically types and the wacky cross-browser implementations being the main sources of this in my experience). Some of that is also legacy leftover of javascript as a scripting language being conflated with "that script you use to do rollovers" in the ie-netscape days.
As you say, javascript as a language is plenty powerful, see what can be done in unity and flex for examples.
If you play brinksmanship with the company, you poison the relationship.
I was in a similar situation though the other offer was lot more money but a slightly worse working condition. I approached my boss, told him about it, that I was conflicted, and pointed to some problems in the company. The company was a startup and not yet flush with cash so I told them upfront I didn't expect them to match the pay, and I just wanted to make an informed decision. I got a smallish salary bump, but some organizational issues got resolved and my boss had the ammo to say "our key guy is gonna split if we don't address this". In the end the company got better and I got most of what I wanted. More money would have been nice, but the company is a much improved place to work at, I'm happier for it, and have additional trust in my boss.
The lesson I took from this is as follows: if you trust your boss, lay it out for them, including what you want. Don't play the "do this or I'll leave" card, or you may as well leave. Give them your POV and make it a discussion, not a negotiation. This hinges on you trusting your boss and being prepared to make compromises. If you aren't prepared to make compromise (which is fine), just leave. If you don't trust your boss enough to do this, just leave.

Of course it is!!! China's population is entirely static. No one is being born and no one will die. In 1200 years their average age will be 1240!!! Then they're really fucked.
You mean some schmuck on slashdot didn't discover new problems that elitist scientists, probably played by Oliver Platt, with their Lexuses (Lexi?) and mistresses and ear of the president, up in their ivory tower of Oxford or Yale or Brown didn't think about?
While I agree with you that the conspiracy theory is far-fetched, I'm not sure Wired should be lauded. While Greenwald's article is shrill, to say the least, one issue he raised stuck with me. Lamo is making claims which seems to contradict each other about what Manning said in the chats. Wired has the evidence to address these claims, they don't. I'm not sure how at least the relevant portions of the chat logs could contain private information when Lamo is talking about them. Publishing the logs, with personal info redacted would seem to me, granted at a distance, to be the way to go here for Wired. Why they only publish 25% seems odd, and with Lamo's nebulous claims, smacks of some ulterior motive. Further given the US gov't's treatment of Manning (not trying to imply Wired is complicit in this), I think it behooves public interest to have the logs published. I'd be fine with a redacted form, although I'm sure others might find reason to scream conspiracy.
Aside: wired magazine has sucked for ages. I picked up a copy for reading during a flight recently, there was a story on the AK-47 and another on breast augmentation. How is that wired? And the whole "the web is dead" thing is such hyperbolic silliness as to be easily discounted out of hand.
Will online subscribers help the Times survive? Will other papers follow its lead? Can bees think? Does asking questions with obvious answers lead to a more interesting article?

Whereas the number of chinese and european expats in the US is so small?

Actually, scrolling on tablets is dead fucking simple and ridiculously intuitive.
What problem is Opera even fixing?
Agreed, sorta.

Bearing in mind that I'm not a physicist, if one goes from higher binding energy to lower binding energy wouldn't that release energy?
What if there are monkeys with tacks on the clouds?
Your comment tagline says "Anonymous Coward" but your comment screams Zach De La Rocha. How's Tom?
Yeah, Monster ones are the best, they have better fidelity, ensuring your 1's are totally 1 to the max, and the 0's are dead flat.
I never thought I'd say this, but where's Puffy when you need him?
Aye, but passwords are transmitted in the clear.

El sarcasmo esta mucho alto de te cabesa, caballero.
Sounds painful for the lady.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
"Sony, what you're proposing violates the First Amendment"
"But we based profit projections on it!"
"You did? Oh you poor guys. In that case, get the swat team ready, let's go scare the shit out of some geeks!!"
Yes, because the children today have no grandparents. Grand parents are clearly trending upward.
We should believe this because the author wrote it in Courier New, making it look more like shell text, and highlighting his overall l33tn3ss.
Rape is not driven by lust. It's an act of subjugation. Rape is not sexy, it's horrible, that's the point.

Not much of a script writer, are you?
It's not so much the movie as the conspiracy theory to which the movie draws some vague inspiration.
The NASA take is informative, but for something more informative, with Gary Coleman no less, start here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN5sNXxe498

No, yes, no and no, in that order.
