I was all prepared to cheer for AT&T and watch to see whether the RIAA refused to take down whatever it was that was at issue. I am now bitterly disappointed.
When does the US Constitution not apply? When you're not in this country.
Disagree. The US Constitution doesn't bind governments of other countries, but it should bind the US universally. Claims that it doesn't are partly responsible for the mess in Guantanamo, which Bush's administration in effect claimed to be exempt from all legislation except that which they chose to apply.
Try to write a formal spec for addition of two IEEE754 floating point numbers which is detailed enough to be usable for a proof of correctness. Even addition of integers is long and ugly. If that's too low-level then take something higher-level but really basic, like sorting: it's non-trivial to specify that the output contains the same elements as the input.
Metric system? What's that got to do with it? I'm not sure why the summary says that 104 degrees is 40 degrees C, though: surely it should be 1.82 radians?

The core tenent of Christianity is to (paraphrasing) "Love God above everything, love others as much as you love yourself."
No, that's the core of Christian ethics. The core of Christianity is the Lordship of the risen Christ and the uniqueness of His role as a mediator between man and God.
As to organised Christian faith: there are churches which are based on grace rather than legalism, although I can't guarantee that there are any in your town/city.
It isn't their job to actively try to "find the facts", regardless of whether or not the information has been vetted first.
No, but it is their job to determine the facts, and if they believe that there is information which hasn't been supplied to them and which would assist then they should be within their rights (and AIUI are in English courts, at least) to say to the judge, "We'd like a briefing on X." The judge can then determine whether it's a legal and reasonable request or not.
What on Earth does numerical analysis have to do with predicting future needs? Do you find you get catastrophic loss of significance if you add up the extrapolated requirements of your subnets in the wrong order?
Hear, hear. At work I maintain a internal fork of an open source library we use. Not because I enjoy forking: because the guy with write access to the library's repository started a major refactor 18 months ago in trunk and still hasn't finished it; the subset he uses works, but we use some of the more advanced stuff which he hasn't fixed yet. I can't just take a snapshot before the refactor because then I miss loads of bugfixes.
I think a good case could be made for offence 1 where the access in question was to the network card drivers (which could probably be construed as programs) of the computers in the botnet.
There's more than one way to analyse that table, and the one MS have chosen is not the most obvious one. On a simple total of the time to render all 25, it's a tie: IE at 88.30 seconds and Chrome at 88.32 seconds have a difference well within measurement error, so clearly the competitive advantage isn't as great as you think. Firefox definitely trails, but at 95.62 seconds it's only 8% behind.

It would be more accurate to say "was first awarded in..." because they recently shut it down after years of trying without much success to keep up the numbers.
Before step 1 there is a step 0: find the software you want to install. That's what repositories are for, so I'm not sure why you want to get rid of them. I can't speak to the rest of your post because I use Debian so I don't have RPM files or dependency hell.
That model works for software which companies use, because companies are willing to pay for support. Where games are concerned the user will simply bin it and play a different game.
Remove marketing and the only way people are going to hear about games is word of mouth. That's fine until you remove copyright as well, at which point the same people who tell you about it can also give you a free copy. Then the only way there's any profit in games is making them either heavily DRMed or thin clients dependent on a server to play.

Judging by the summary it might be 300 - not that I was aware that was ever a comic.
It's only now they've computerised the records that they can use the Data Protection Act to prosecute.
That's not true. The DPA covers "information which... (c) is recorded as part of a relevant filing system or with the intention that it should form part of a relevant filing system", where "relevant filing system" is defined as "any set of information relating to individuals to the extent that, although the information is not processed by means of equipment operating automatically in response to instructions given for that purpose, the set is structured, either by reference to individuals or by reference to criteria relating to individuals, in such a way that specific information relating to a particular individual is readily accessible."

It's an easy threat to deal with: you simply need a Constitutional amendment to remove the right to arm bears.
You can prove correctness of a block of code using mathematical induction and this is something anyone with a CS degree should be taught.
For some values of "correctness". Unfortunately they're pretty useless in real life because you have to make a formal spec without any bugs first.

It's a shame your constitution defines treason so narrowly.

Bet you can't work out which way round the cartridges go in the gun.
Keep in mind that the end-user will not be exposed to those internal discussions, although they take place in public, open forums.
Huh? If they're public and open, the end use can see them. What are you talking about?
My emphasis.

I still don't get it. 3/14 is 0.2(142857). That's nowhere near pi!
