The good thing about my cell phone as an alarm clock is that I can tell it to ring only Mondays - Fridays, so I don't end up being woken up on a Saturday, or not woken up on a Monday morning.
I use my phone instead of a wristwatch, and I know a small number of other non-slashdotters who do as well. My reason is that I don't like having things on my wrist.
Something like 20%-25% of the population are smokers, but despite there being 3 times as many obese people, there are only slightly more obesity related deaths than smoking related deaths.
Talk to the busybox developers. They have plenty of experience of being the victims of piracy. You pirate it by distributing it in a way that doesn't conform to the licence agreement you have for it. Generally by not releasing the source code and not letting people know they can distribute it themselves under the terms of the licence in question.
I prefer the hypothesis that some greater being is actively trying to sabotage the collider for our own protection. I know it is completely unscientific, and probably complete rubbish.
When I talk about Christian Fundamentalist Young Earth Creationists, I am talking about people like Sarah Palin, a very very small subset of the total Christian faith. I am fully aware that most Christians are not like that, but that doesn't weaken my argument in any way.
If the denialists (people who deny the existence of climate change) can come up with even one peer reviewed scientific paper rather than the smears and conspiracy theories they usually peddle, I will read and consider it.
The climate change denialists are a coalition of christian fundamentalist young earth creationists who see science as a threat to their religious beliefs, and tobacco companies who see science as a threat to their business plan. I think it is very likely that they would be motivated enough to create 61MB of hoax documents to further their cause.
NTLM passwords are very easy to crack. You get a set of rainbow tables, which for the full set, comes on a 500GB hard drive, and you can look up the hash in the table and find the matching password. They are arranged in such a way that you don't have to look through every item in the table to find the one you want.
Well you needed a password to perform the administrative task of running Winamp until they came up with a new version that fixed it. That is the sort of thing people are complaining about.
Well Britain for example has about half of its electricity generating capacity reaching the end of its life in the next 10 years or so, so we need to build some new power stations. We have recently been building gas plants, but we are running out of gas in the North Sea, and now have to import some gas from Russia, who aren't very reliable as the past two winters have shown.
We have loads of coal, but that produces lots of CO2s, and the tree huggers don't like that.
We've been building some windmills, but the tree huggers and bird watchers don't like them either, and due to reliability issues about when the wind blows, that can only supply about 10% of our electricity. Currently it does a lot less than that so we should ideally get some more windmills, but we need something else as well.
We could have a tidal barrage on the Bristol Channel which could supply about 5 - 10% of our requirements, but again, the tree huggers aren't to happy about the idea.
If we are to go for nuclear, either for all of it, or for what wind and tidal can't do, then there is no particular reason why we can't go for Thorium rather than Uranium powered reactors.
Of course. But this is the reason why you see the works of Shakespeare sold by multiple publishers, but you don't see "Beethoven's 5th Symphony performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra" sold by multiple publishers.
When the BBC's copyright in their recording reverts to them, they will likely use it as a negotiating tool to get higher royalties from the sales of their recording, either from the existing publisher or a new one.
Now of course Beethoven's 5th Symphony became public domain a long time ago, so lots of different orchestras do their own cover versions of it without having to pay royalties to anyone, and some amateur orchestras put their version of it on youtube and it is perfectly legal for them to do this.
The British use the same Thousand / Million / Billion that the Americans use. Some other euro countries use Milliard instead of Billion, but they speak different languages anyway.
A local car dealer will typically pay about $2000 per month to Google Adwords in order to appear on Google searches. It must be worth at least that to them in additional business through their website. I'm not sure that even a company like that would take $1m to never appear on Google again, never mind a company in the top 1000.
It is very rare for software copyrights to be assigned to a publishing house. There are companies that will handle the marketing and distribution of software for other people, but they don't generally take ownership of the copyright. They buy additional copies from the author as orders come in. Authors can, and quite often do, sell their software through different distributors in this way at the same time.
Heroin is available under medial supervision as a pain killer in Britain. In the US, doctors seem to prefer to prescribe things like Vicodin which does much the same thing.

I'm pretty sure it was a lot more than £10bn. Lloyds was bailed out to the tune of £160bn. RBS is about 2.5 times bigger than Lloyds and in a much worse financial state.
I guess that means it is also better able to reflect off GWiz vehicles. You might, if you try really hard, manage to get a speeding ticket in a 20mph zone in one of them.

Offence is the British English spelling.

If you install it in your user directory, yes.

Using GPU processing to crack passwords isn't news. In Soviet Russia, they have beeing doing it for some time now.
About 1 or 2 kWh per day I believe. Not really worth the effort.

I guess affordable means approximately the same price as the standard issue 17" 1280x1024 monitors you get in most offices.

That is because the orchestral recording is generally subject to copyright, except possibly for a few very ancient gramophone recordings.

Cheques are almost dead in Britain, and pretty much completely dead in the rest of Europe.
