There is an extradition treaty between the US and Nigeria, but given that Nigeria's legal system is fairly disfunctional that's not going to be a whole lot of use.
So how did they get Bacchus on board? Would he really be risking his money and reputation on something that's close to being a scam, or does he just have zero judgment?
It's a bit odd how the only good reviews this seems to receive are from Greek people. Is it that the undubbed version is so much better, or just a kind of techno-nationalism?
Roadside bombs and suicide bombers can be lethal to Humvees and the like, but aren't really a threat to heavily armoured vehicles: it takes a shaped charge or KE penetrator to breach the armour.
Accusing him of collecting child porn is fucking cheap, particularly as it's just because you didn't realise child porn is (by definition) pornography involving minors.
I'll concede that free speech is taken further in America than just about anywhere else (although there have been periods when that wasn't the case), but you're making a hell of a generalisation.
When it comes to gambling, drinking, abortion and emergency contraception, Germans are undeniably more free than Americans.
Also, it's arguable whether stronger competition law increases or reduces freedom; this point isn't the slam-dunk you seem to think it is.
Actually for civil trials in most jurisdictions you can generally only appeal on matters of law, not matters of fact.
However this isn't an appeal from a court; it's an appeal of a quasi-judicial decision taken by the EC competition authorities. So the grounds for appeal are very wide.
Damn right. That some Americans gave financial support to Sinn Fein/IRA during the worst of the Troubles was a complete fucking disgrace.
You'd think a self proclaimed member of the Constitution Party would think twice before supporting a bunch of terrorists trained and supplied by Gaddafi and the (East German) Stasi.
perhaps I'm being over-cynical, but I can't help wondering if this is a hoax.
Einstein calling Heisenberg "a big Nazi" is surely too funny to be true. The mistake mentioned in the article (reporting Einstein phoning his sister several years after she was dead) doesn't sound like the sort of mistake a real diarist would ever make.
"Contrary to popular belief, downloading music (pirated or not) is NOT illegal. Since all you have to rely on is the NAME of the file you are downloading, you can claim negligence. Hey, how are we supposed to know if the song is pirated or not? What if we live in a cave? Brittney Spears, who?"
The analogy with the Earth's gravitational field is exact. There is no "energy" stored in the Earth, yet it will do work on objects that are "pulled" towards it. Similarly, the fact magnets will do work on objects that are attracted towards them does not mean that magnets are a store of energy.
The claim violates the laws of thermodynamics on its face, as he claims to get over three times as much energy out as he puts in.
Slashdot Mirror
In a parallel universe where there's no human rights legislation you might have a point.
Since Slate is online only, it's not surprising you've never seen it on a news stand or airplane.
The conspiracy theories are plainly pants.
Still, Slate has an excellent reputation and the money involved is just a rounding error in Microsoft's accounts. So why sell it?
I'm not American, but your comparison is ludicrous.
Can that be correct? Doesn't it just operate on the same frequencies as any other Wi-fi device?

Right. Because everything connected with Microsoft is automatically E V I L.
So how did they get Bacchus on board? Would he really be risking his money and reputation on something that's close to being a scam, or does he just have zero judgment?
What paranoid nonsense.
Slate would lose its (generally) good reputation in an instant if it was seen to be shilling for Microsoft.
Isn't another problem that quality will inevitably be lost in the transcoding?
Actually, it's not how it works in civil courts at all.

You are assuming that English law is the same as US law. It's not.

the Langmuir link is brilliant, thank you, and right on the money.
Bad troll. The EC was formed in 1957 and Spain joined in 1986, at the same time as Portugal.

thoughts, anyone?

yes, that's a really plausible defence.
The analogy with the Earth's gravitational field is exact. There is no "energy" stored in the Earth, yet it will do work on objects that are "pulled" towards it. Similarly, the fact magnets will do work on objects that are attracted towards them does not mean that magnets are a store of energy.

The point is that there is no energy stored in magnets.
so it looks like the patent office grants patents without properly considering the applications. Who knew?
