I think the only reason it'll be thrown out is that Twitter is not UK based. If it were, then as it exercises some editorial control (i.e. removes spam and illegal comments on request) it's viewed as a publisher and therefore is treated the same as a newspaper and would fall foul of our (super)injuction laws.
Twitter is in San Francisco, and the writ of the English courts haven't run in those part for a couple of centuries. It raises the question of what the point of getting a court order is in the first place.
Tribes and Tribes 2 were both great games. Probably the best team-based FPSs ever made. Vengeance rather killed the whole tribes thing. People had been looking forward to something new that was as fun to play as the predecessors, but it didn't live up to expectations and the whole competitive Tribes/T2 scene more or less died. I realise that there are still a few servers with pub matches going... but it's nothing like the days when there were active ladders and leagues with large numbers of teams on both sides of the pond.
Yeah... this test has pretty much nothing to do with IQ. (Mind you IQ tests are a hard thing to do anyway... making them independent of any kind of cultural bias, or prior knowledge is pretty much impossible.)
I don't really believe that the distance you need to travel is constant.
We all make choices about where we live, where we work, what kind of recreations we do. Where we take holidays. Whether we cycle to the supermarket or drive, etc. etc.
I've always found it interesting how we assume that aliens will follow time at the same rate we do.
One might imagine that things like reaction time have to be relatively close to things like gravity, because otherwise species could be wiped out by falling rocks and such.
Aha - that explains why there's no plant life on Earth:/
I'm bemused to see WoW described as "elitist" - it's a popular game because it offer something easy that your average guy (or occasionally girl) wants. Most of the millions of players are rather casual.
OK - I think the usual advice is that you don't really need any sugar in a healthy diet, but a bit isn't going to hurt - after all it makes things taste nice and stuff like fruit has other benefits and also contains sugars. As for complex carbs - the usual advice is around 50-55% of total calories from carbs for a normally active person. The proportion of your calories that comes from carbs should go up with the amount of exercise that you do. For endurance athletes you often see figures of about 55-65% of total calories being suggested.
I'm not saying that this is what the averages actually are. Around the globe, and the US in particular, obesity is on the increase and I suspect that people are getting a high proportion of calories from fat and sugars and a correspondingly lower proportion from carbs. Of course you can consume calories in the "correct" ratios and still gain weight. Ultimately weight loss/gain comes down to calories burnt vs. calories consumed.
If you do any real exercise then you need a pretty high proportion of your total calorie intake in complex carbs . It's worth distinguishing between simple carbs and complex carbs, You don't really need much sugar in your diet, but you need a reasonable amount of complex carbs.
If you're a total couch potato you're going to have health issues whatever kind of diet you take.
I hope that the new owners find some of what Saab had before the GM takeover. They were interesting, quirky cars; since GM bought them they've become more or less generic eurocars with little to distinguish them from so many other brands out there.
I'm old enough to care little about cars these days - they're a tool for getting you about - but I do have a soft spot for Saab as my first couple of cars where Saabs.
If you think they can be made and sold for a profit more cheaply then what are you waiting for? Go into business and do it, then sit back and count your millions!
Why burn it? You just need technology to catch up with theory. Einstein has already given us a perfectly good formula for converting mass to energy, which tells us that we have about 10^24 Joules for 10^7 kg.
I'm not sure what part of my post you're referring to. Public Footpaths are not covered by the bit I assume you mean in the 1835 act. Pavements next to the main carriageway of a road are.

... what more do you need?
Pedantry ahoy: Oxford doesn't award a PhD it awards a DPhil.
Why do we, as customers, take this?
Who's "we"? I don't have any apple products...
Great example of a loaded question :/

You want to teach a bunch of kids how to make computer viruses? :)
So all roads in the US are toll roads? ... or it's OK for the state to cough up for roads, but not for train tracks?
Bandwidth is all very well ... but try winning a game of Quake3 when pigeons are carrying your packets.

It's hardly a big deal if it's voluntary. If you don't like it say no...

I suppose an "e-bike" might appeal to some couch potatoes, but a good part of the point of cycling is that you actually get some exercise.

I, for one, welcome our new clock overlords.
The Spanish Inquisition had a constant verdict - even simpler than a default one.

Horses and bikes, as well as pedestrians, have a legal right of way on bridleways.
