One should bother because pandering to the lowest denominator will ensure that most will meet that expectation. There is a range of happy media between a wall of mathematical formulae and proofs and an awkwardly written, purely textual interpretation. Not everyone will have a full (or even good) comprehension of the meaning, but those willing to be challenged will have something on which to proceed. Those who don't care or who like pap can just move on to the latest on Kate and William (who, I believe, just had a baby or something).
'The major cause of war/unrest in the world isn't skin color, it's religion.'
I would suggest that the main cause is any ideology with its unwavering faith in its rightness. Religion just happens to be the most pernicious, unreasonable, and widespread form.
If it were just a few bad eggs, you might be right. However, it always seems that when they are discovered, (most of) the rest of the group closes ranks and attempts to shield them from facing the music. This applies to lawyers, doctors, police, military, the church, government bureaucracy, corporations, etc.
In my view, this makes (most of) them all equally culpable.

The only people here with corrupt morals are the police and the politicians who passed this law.

I think you may be remembering an episode of 'Spooks' (MI5 on this side of the Atlantic). Probably just as fictional as this "credible" threat.
When all is said and done, they'll end up walling off 90% off their customer base.
Do a web search for fluidics.
...has been focusing on more natural materials...
As opposed to what? More metaphysical materials?
My barber gave me a bad haircut! We need a Snoopers' Charter! Now!
That should be: "Eric Schmidt: Google Will Continue Investing In UK Especially If Taxes Razed".
I would suggest that they left out the most important one: have only students who are eager to learn and want to be there.

What I find interesting is that Java security problems were almost a non-issue until Sun was bought by Oracle.

No, I'm neither bitter nor cynical!
That's because the stories are from two different observers in different frames of reference; sheesh!
Obviously, one of them was in Ezekiel's spaceship.
(Now we know were Einstein got the idea.)
More likely than what?
How much more likely?
To how many more recidivists does this equate?
It's when they pay you to write software! Yes; pay you! But you generally don't get to pick what the software is to do :(
I remember recording various bzzts, pings, bwrrps and the like from the radio onto tape which were Commodore 64 programs.
I am the admin for a small HS and am quite happy with our Google Apps right now
Maybe that's because it's your students', rather than your, personal information that's being sold by Google.
Yes, but it would be nice if that underlying instruction set were directly exposed and the CISC layer removed. More cache control would also be great.
