I know that the European economy isn't so hot right now. But I had no idea that the cost of Euro-labor had fallen so much that it makes economic sense to outsource the voodoo industry from its home in Jamaica.
While a boom to the European continent, this will be devastating to the Carribean economy.
The definition of "too much homework" by most students is any amount that cuts into the time spent playing on the XBOX/PS2/etc, surfing for pr0n, mindlessly watching one of the 500 cable channels, and posting to/.
It's not the amount of homework, it's the setting of priorities that is the issue here.
So now the vast majority of online users will be ignoring corporate shills disguised as bloggers as opposes to just ignoring clueless idiots disguised as bloggers.

We were forced to sit in front of mechanical keyboards with printers attached to them. Our task masters placed rubber caps on the keys so that we could not see the markings.
The then made us type over and over again the following phrase.
"the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
Today this would likely be labelled as child abuse.
It is only a matter of time before the rest of the world comes over the to dark side and becomes part of the USA. Then, "America" will really be synonomous with "The World".
If I want to leverage feature A from OSS license type X code and merge it with feature B from OSS license type Y code, there is a chance that X and Y may be mutually exclusive licensing terms.
The more license types there are, the greater the likelyhood that licenses will come into conflict. And then, the only people that will benefit will be lawyers.
Oh great! By the time I finish downloading the current week's episode of '24' on my broadband-is-not-available-in-my-area 56kb modem, the entire season will be available on DVD at my local BlockBuster.
To clarify a bit. Under the (admittedly impotent)1967 UN treaty. No NATION can claim ownership of space real-estate. Private entities are free to claim ownership, getting some legal entity to affirm said ownwership and enforcement are other issues altogether.
In reality, it means that whoever gets there first (be it a nation-state sponsored colony or private entity) can do pretty much do whatever they see fit once they are there.

Winning improves your cash flow (royalties).
Cash flow improves your campaign contributions.

IANAL, but I can't see how a court could prevent a municipality from providing WIFI or WISP broadband service (providing that the municipality foot the bill for the wireless intrastructure).
If the municipality wanted to provide cable/DSL broadband, there is an issue of the municipality commandeering the local cable provider's wires for public purposes. I can't see a municipality laying down hundreds/thousands of miles of its own wires. A court would need to decide if emminent domain would apply.
Just remember that a "professional" is simply someone who gets paid to do a task. It can be anything from lawnmowing to a surgeon.
Being a "professional" does in no way imply being good at what you do. It only means that you get paid to do it.
I'm sure that the Department of Homeland Security will just love having a ship full of potential illegal/unscreened aliens parked just a few miles offshore.
I'm sure that any such ship would have a tough time keeping the local marine life such as seals from causing, ummm, mechanical difficulties. Thus forcing said ship into the nearest port (and subject to closer inspection).
If the blog purports to be from some p0rnster, and the blog says "download this cool active X control, it will let you see all these hot pix I took at the club last night"... and you install the control...
if we try and educate the public about security,...
Ah to be young an naive. <sigh>
No amount of education will ever convince enough of the general Internet users to:
stop executing malware of unknwown origins
buying stuff from spammers
The only way to keep people from doing stupid things is summary execution of said offenders to remove them from the gene pool. But, unfortunately, there are laws against that type of thing.
Lawyers around the world are gearing up to make millions of dollars/euros/yen/... litigating the nuances of the conflicting "Open Source" licensing models.
I've seen such devices advertised in the back of various magazines for years. The ads clearly imply that the X-Ray glasses will allow you to see through clothing.
Don't worry, the Penatgon has plenty of Hi-Res images of Europe. Once we Yanks are done securing the oil fields of the Middle East, we'll be putting those images to good use.

You obviously have never driven in the upper midwest USA in the winter. Just one of many technical challenges.

Iraq and Afganistan are but stepping stones.

This is the classic software development dilema.
It can be developed quickly, cheaply, or correctly (but you may only pick two of the three options)
Some of the code I've been forced to maintain needed Dr Kevorkian.

The chorus of "How come you can't get off your lazy butt and get a paying job to do that!" would be deafening.

Last time I checked, my vodka was not bubbly.

Just wait and see how long the 'no permanent' colonies rule lasts in Antarctica if a large petroleum reserve is discovered there.

Or maybe, just maybe, there were already dozens of popup blockers written by 3rd parties available for IE for years.
I use IE exclusively and haven't seen a pop-up ad (flash or otherwise) for over 3 years.

I don't want the instruments anywhere near my brain after the surgeon thinks about what an ass his boss is.
