I think you will find stockbrokers want to sell their shares as quickly as possible. They make their money from trading, not from holding and if they had to carry the risks of ownership, then buying and selling shares would become a lot more expensive.
Value trading. You buy it in the hope that it will bounce back again. For example, the people who bought BP shares while the oil was spilling out onto the Gulf of Mexico are now sitting on large profits.
If the computer can do it for you by recognising features on the uploaded photo, then maybe it is patentable. However, the patent shouldn't be granted on the general idea, but on the specific technology that makes it possible.
A Senator might feel threatened by someone exposing some malpractive he's been up to - if people get to know about it, they might vote him out of office - similar to the person who anonymously published details of MP's expenses claims in the UK which led to a lot of them being de-selected by their local party members as the candidate for the next election.
China has a bigger economy than Japan because it has 10 times as many people living there. China's economy is only 1.025 times larger than Japan's, which means than on a per-capita basis, China still has a long way to go. I think some provinces in China will reach Japanese levels of GDP per capita, but not all of them.
I think it means that if someone else buys your machine second hand from one of your customers, then they have a right to the source. I guess you can always ask for the serial number of the machine before shipping the source, and having that would help you send the right version of the code anyway.
There have been tests of the GPL in court. Two I'm aware of are MySQL ab v Progress Software Corp and Busybox v Westinghouse Digital Electronics. In both cases, it was held that the GPL does work as advertised.
From what I can gather, you don't get anything like that when you buy it, and reading the reviews, there are plenty of other more pressing reasons why you wouldn't want to buy.
I think the main reason is so you don't have to go round all the desktops changing or updating things.
I've also seen it used in schools where you can have lots of different desktops set up with the appropriate software and documents for each lesson, and you can easily reset it at the end of the lesson.
Incandescents typically produce about 10 lm/W. CFL bulbs typically range between 40 - 50 lm/W There is one bulb that only does 25 lm/W and one that does 59 lm/W.
LEDs manage about 60 lm/W - the range was 43 lm/W to 67 lm/W, so they are a little bit more efficent than CFLs, but not that much. The main advantage is that they switch on instantly, whereas CFLs take a while to warm up. The main disadvantages are the poor colour spectrum range and much lower lm/cm^3 so you need a much larger bulb to get the same amount of light.
Looking at your specific figures. I see a 60W incandescent that produces 710 lm of light. I see a 14w CFL that produces slightly more at 750 lm. The most efficient 2W LED bulb on sale produces 135 lm. There aren't any 4W bulbs but two 2W bulbs would produce 270 lm which is about 38% of the output of a 60W incandescent.
If you RFTA, it is saving him the money he used to spend fueling his kerosene lamp, and it is more environmentally friendly, and he can recharge his new cell phone with it, which was the main reason for getting the thing.
A 4W LED will produce approx the same amount of light as a 4.5 - 5W CFL bulb or a 15 - 20W incandescent bulb, in other words, enough to stop you tripping over things when you go to the bathroom at night, but not really any use for anything more than that.
Two other laws that might apply are the one that prohibits unauthorised access to a computer system, and the one that prohibits unauthorised wire-tapping. You probably are allowed to access the family laptop, but if you then use that family laptop to access the wife's hotmail account on Microsoft's servers, by for example using the web browser's saved password, then you might be in breach of the first law. So it depends on where the email is stored. The second law generally applies only to emails while in the course of transmission. Generally they are no longer in the course of transmission when they have been opened by the intended recipient. If the wife had downloaded it to Outlook but not opened it, then that probably also isn't in the course of transmission. In any other case, including an unopened mail on the email provider's servers, it probably is still in the course of transmission.
More boys are born than girls, even more so in countries like India and China where girls are more likely to be aborted. However women live longer than men.

Because high volume traders could use any changes in that 500ms to make arbitrage profits when they decide to say yes or no.

Slashdot is an example of a social media site. In fact one of the original ones.

Well Germany was the most succesful post war economy in Europe.

Like a photodiode, which has been around for ages?

He cares about not having foreign companies controlling the software on his government computers. That is what the GNU freedom is all about.
Or maybe your older LED bulbs have faded with age, which is something that happens to them.
www.hotmail.com isn't your computer. You have permission from Microsoft to access your own account on it, but not someone else's.
I looked at LED bulbs here http://www.clasohlson.co.uk/product/category.aspx?category=light+bulbs:LEDs&id=88601375&_path=251882;85177594;88601372;88601375

It's like a locked gate that you could climb over.
