You may be better informed than me; what I've read in the Spanish newspaper El País is that CVR indicates the pilots believed that none of the instruments was working.
You do have to be careful with the functions you put on extra buttons, though, because people who are used to a two-button mouse might click them accidentally. I know I've had some embarrassing moments like that.
Actually it's not a bunch of Brits: it's one single judge. What I recall from what I've seen of the Prime Minister's comments on the situation seem to indicate that he views it as legislating from the bench and that work is under way to get some proper, sane, legislation through Parliament.
Ian Hislop clearly despises superinjunctions, but he prefers not to be sued. Just see the "Odd One Out" round on recent episodes of HIGNFY (IIRC series 41 episodes 4 and 5; possibly also 3; the OOO round is usually about three quarters of the way through the non-extended version, and you can find them on Youtube).
Why would it be necessary to have two monitors in your field of view at once? Most developers I know can touch-type, so they can be looking at something on one monitor and typing into a window in another one.
And I don't think I have a Microsoft view of the world. I think I have an IDE-influenced view of development. I prefer to use Eclipse maximised when working on my personal projects under Linux, and at work I would find a third monitor helpful to be able to have VS maximised on one, SSMS on another, and some browsers not maximised but taking up more than half a screen each on the third.
I don't find virtual desktops to be any more useful than tabbing between windows. They still don't let you see multiple large windows side-by-side in the way a multi-monitor setup does.
Trademarks are also not patents. Prior art isn't irrelevant, but its relevance is limited. If a survey of people's word associations shows that they link a phrase to your brand, you have a good case for registering it as a trademark.
$200? There must be countries where it's cheaper than that to register a trademark. And since it's a global TLD, there wouldn't be any bias towards accepting US trademarks over Albanian ones, would there?
It seems to me that the new system is very effective at hiding posts at +0. I have actually wondered whether there's a bug with them. When I post AC from work and then go back later to see whether anyone replied, often I can't find my post even browsing at -1.
We already standardised it: a meter is a device for measuring something, and a metre is a unit of length. What you're really saying is that you want to make US adoption of a "foreign" metric system conditional on rest of world accepting your embrace-extend-extinguish of the English language. So how can we trust that you won't try changing the length of the second and then making the rest of us accept your change?
I think that when Windows Update installed PS2 on my Vista box at work it changed the default association to some new editor MS have created just for debugging Powershell scripts.
Not just that. There were some obvious gaps in the categories put up to vote, presumably due to space reasons. (Although I personally can't understand not including a single Amiga category. Copper hacks FTW. Console sales numbers aren't everything).
I doubt it has anything to do with culture. Rather I suspect it's a question of the network effect. If 10 people you know already have Orkut accounts and 2 have Facebook accounts, which will you find more useful?
What distro are you running KDE4 on? I'm currently running Gnome because my last Kubuntu dist-upgrade broke KDE, but sometime I want to do a fresh install to KDE and I'm wondering whether to stick with Kubuntu or jump ship. Debian is tempting me back, and Mint sounds promising.

Most of their instruments still worked

Thanks. Most informative post so far in this thread.
Punctuation isn't grammar.

Actually I realised just after clicking submit that I hadn't used a numeric entity after all. Doh!
You can't write ü? (Hint: HTML numeric entity).
You could have just modded me insightful rather than posting to agree with me ;)
Exactly. I think he gets sued enough already without going looking for lawsuits.

I don't know whether garlic would really work on vampires, but it should be effective against fangirls.
which other Windows program anywhere near as popular brings up UAC prompts out of nowhere in the way Java updater does without even being "opened"?
Skype.

Actually I think you're looking for Snopes.

Trademarks are domain-specific. FPS character models aren't in the same domain as clothing, so that's irrelevant to this application.

Roughly speaking, it's categorised by platform and the platforms chosen are those which sold the most.
