There is a difference between news articles about what she does which are covered by 1st amendment rights, and using Sarah Palin's image to sell products without her permission.
But quite a lot of oil is used for heating whereas in for example the UK, oil heating is pretty rare. The extra electricity could be used for heating which would displace oil in that sector.
You don't need to because the US is one of the world's largest agricultural producers. Wars over water supplies and agricultural land do happen though.
Or rather, they hate Chernobyl style nuclear polution more than they hate CO2, and they want an answer to what we do with the waste. The free market doesn't provide for paying for cleanup costs hundreds or even thousands of years after the plant reaches the end of its productive life.
Not that well. The feedback loop only feeds back about once every 4-5 years, and you usually get a choice between two candidates that will do much the same thing.
Secondly, it doesn't cater for minority groupings. The minority group may be big enough for the market to cater for, but they can't get enough votes together, so can't influence government. When it comes down to it, pretty much everyone is in a minority group as there is no homogenous mass of identical clones.
No. In Great Britain (Scotland, England & Wales, not Northern Ireland which is part of the Irish grid), the National Grid Company is the regulated owner of the grid, and there are regional regulated owners of the lines from the grid to homes and businesses. The government tells them how much they can charge.
Power generation companies own the generators, windmills and so on that produce electricity and supply it to the grid. Distribution companies buy electricity from the generation companies, pay the national grid and local line owning companies to transport it to customers and charge the customers for the electricity.
Problems - the main one is slamming, distribution companies taking over accounts without the householder's permission, and actually trying to compare their charges. The big 6 distribution companies have several hundred different tarrifs, all calculated in different ways, so you need to know precisely how much electricity you are going to use, and when, to work out which one is cheapest. They also tend to have numbered tariffs, where they for example, increase the prices on Super Saver Energy 65, and release a new tariff called Super Saver Energy 66 with lower prices, meaning they charge existing customers higher amounts while appearing to be more competitive to new customers.
In England, we have a "nuclear levy" added to our electricity bills which is used to subsidise the nuclear power stations because otherwise they would be too expensive to compete in the market.
The problems with nuclear are that you have to spend vast sums of money on safety procedures to stop radioactive stuff leaking into the environment, it takes about 100 years to decommission the plant after its 25 year operating life, and the spent nuclear fuel has to be stored in a secure environment for about 10000 years.
Malware by definition is software that does something bad. Mal=bad, ware=software. Jailbreak software is hacking software in the traditional sense in that it does something outside the specification of the device. Malware can and often does use hacking techniques, but that doesn't mean that everything that uses hacking techniques is malware.
The Linux kernel is GPL2, but the Android software that runs on top of it can be whatever licence Google wants. GPL3 would be the most obvious choice if Google wants to enforce openness. Linux can't be GPL3 because Linus says so.
It is also an OS issue, or at least a UI issue. What both products show is that a tablet should be a giant sized pda / smart phone, not a laptop with the keyboard chopped off.
It is not on the update servers yet. I guess it gets rolled out gradually to stop a huge surge in traffic. You can download it from microsoft.com, google or bing "microsoft security essentials" to find it
You can have one ssl site on a server along with lots of other non-ssl sites. The thing that doesn't work is hosting multiple ssl sites on the same IP address, unless they have a wildcard certificate which covers all of them - eg you could have slashdot.org , it.slashdot.org , idle.slashdot.org etc on the same *.slashdot.org certificate.
They are known as MBNA in Europe (Bank of America took over MBNA, but kept the MBNA name in Europe because it is much better known than BoA), and they are in trouble with the Office of Fair Trading for their debt collection practices http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2010/dec/14/mbna-credit-card-debt-procedures
It is because shareholders require a certain return on their investment. If the share price was priced at an appropriate yield for a $175m profit, and the company only makes $150m profit, then the share price must fall by 14.3% to maintain the required yield.
Animals are still permitted to be sold as property. You do need to explain to some people that negros are people and not animals, because it is concept that the racist mind struggles with.
The English government has been around since 1066 with incremental changes since then, and as far as I'm aware that is the oldest surviving government, with the possible exception of a couple of the Cantons that make up what is now Switzerland. So I don't think there are any governments that have been around for a few thousand years. As for institutions, the only one that might qualify is the Roman Catholic Church, which has been around for certainly more than 1000 years but certainly not yet 2000.

I had that problem with the Galaxy S, but a later update to Android 2.2.1 fixed my speed issues.

and then sold it in 2006.
ARM sells (or rather licences) more chips every year than Intel has sold in its lifetime.
Given that the current version is ported to the Intel Itanic, I would imagine yes.

Windows Phone and Windows Mobile run on ARM, and might actually work better on a touch screen device.

It does always ask you before phoning home. Usually it pops up when I install a new version of iTunes that it isn't sure about.
and if they do want to block porn, then why not start with the photos on page 3 of our biggest selling newspaper?

Using tinfoil etc to block the signals is OK. The only thing that is banned is transmitting on those frequencies yourself without a licence
