Of course, Teletext is pretty much dead in the UK now, replaced by shiny MHEG-based digital text services. The BBC ended up having to add Teletext-style page numbers to their replacement for it though - there was just such an incredible amount of demand from people that preferred that method of navigation.
Except that chances are there was no fraud - most likely the sites sold their goods as "replicas" of expensive designer items, which is exactly what they were.
If by "yell fire in a crowded theater" you mean "argue against conscription for a brutal and pointless war in which millions died, an obviously political form of speech" - which is what the case that phrase came from was about - then I think you'll find a lot of people do. Strange that.
Apparently this is actually harming attempts at social change in the Middle East, because people there that were previously using RedPhone to communicate have found it totally disabled without any advance warning.
Yeah, they and the religious laws they enforce are also incredibly, unbelievably sexist. Notice not just the really creepy arguments used, but also how a man can divorce his wife without her agreement but not vice-versa. It's actually worse than the article implies; women that ignore religious law and remarry are meant to be treated as tainted, along with their children and their children's children and so on forever. (I don't think this example of sexism actually has any Islamic counterpart.) Also, while the religious courts are nominally voluntary, there's a huge amount of religious and social pressure to use them; it's part of the reason why there's so much objection to the creation of sharia courts.
They aren't secret. The UK government passed a law about a century or so ago to allow Jewish courts specifically, and in theory religious courts in general, to settle certain kinds of dispute including divorces and business disputes. (I think they existed before then and indeed for as long as there's been Jewish communities in the UK, they were just really legally questionable.) The original law has since been replaced by a provision in the laws covering binding arbitration, but if memory serves me correctly it's still specifically aimed at religious courts.
I happen to live in a Christian country - England - that not that long ago executed people for stealing food to feed their family, something Islam forbids punishing. You wouldn't think that it'd be something you'd need to forbid, or that chopping off someone's hands would be lenient, but history suggests that it is and that it's not just a problem that applies to weird savages in some country you've never heard of.
Evolutionary Biologist and former Oxford Professor Richard Dawkins has expressed his concern at the number of students, consisting almost entirely of Muslims, who do not attend or walk out of lectures.
For all we know, it may be a small number of students boycotting that do not represent a larger trend, and there may be more to the story than reported here (what if, for example, the professor made offensive remarks about Islam and its followers during a lecture, a la Richard Dawkins).

I'm guessing from what I've heard about him that Dawkins did insert gratuitous - and probably wildly inaccurate - offensive remarks about Islam; it's a cheap target.
Now the US, that's a different matter. There's a lot of examples of, for example, Christian fundamentalists deliberately getting jobs as pharmacists and then claiming religious discrimination when they're not allowed to refuse to sell contraception. Of course since they're Christians rather than some kind of weird brown Muslim Other, it doesn't attract quite so much controversy.
If you honestly believed 100% that when you die you go to a beautiful place then why mourn death?
Because their friends and family and loved ones have still lost someone very dear to them. If you think about it, funerals are for the living as much as they are for the dead, if not more.
For some odd reason, Islam seems to emphasize obeying the laws of non-Islamic countries in a way that Judaism doesn't though. I have no idea why, but it's why you get things here in the UK like tabloid fear-mongering about the possibility of sharia courts based on laws designed to allow Jewish religious courts, which is bizarre as there's not much interest in setting up sharia courts at all whereas the Jewish population needs those religious courts and considers any restriction on them anti-semitic because they're so important.
He must've been a very bad physics lecturer then, because that's quite a fundamental misunderstanding of the second law of thermodynamics. (Not to mention a very fundamentalist one - it's something that creationists have been pushing a lot.) The second law only requires that the entropy of a closed system increases; localised entropy decreases are entirely OK so long as entropy increases overall. If it wasn't for this life couldn't exist at all!
I don't understand why so many people here think a 4" screen is gigantic.
Possibly because Steve Jobs said it was and they haven't caught up with the times yet? If the iPhone 5 is released with a 4" screen, expect the complaints to disappear and be replaced with complaints that anything smaller than 4" is too small.
The land had temporary inhabitants which were hunter-gatherers that didn't have notions of fixed property rights. There were "territories" that were somewhat fluid from year to year or even according to the seasons, but it wasn't the same thing as land with marked boundaries (with a fence, road, or river marking the difference from one parcel to the next) or something "domesticated" for agricultural purposes.
So the railroad-layers stole some of that land from them, and the settlers stole more, until there was no land to be hunter-gatherers on.
In the UK, they're actually getting people to do what would normally be minimum wage work at supermarkets and the like in order to get welfare payments. Then when more minimum-wage workers get laid off from those supermarkets, they have to work for no wage and receive sub-minimum-wage welfare payments that the Government pays for instead. It's nuts but very profitable for the supermarkets. (Oh, and at least some of those workers have to pay out of their own pockets for uniforms!)
So no, the idea is to add an auditable logging system to run in parallel.
The idea is that, for most people, The Journal will be the only logging system and it will only log to binary files. Traditional syslog is just being suggested as a (temporary?) option for anyone that needs plain-text logs right now. Software that needs to read from a log file is meant to link against the appropriate library and access the binary version in future.
Perhaps I should've been clearer: those two ALUs and two AGUs are dedicated to a particular core and that core alone, even with AMD's definition of a core. The only shared hardware is the instruction decoder and cache on the front and the floating-point unit. In theory each core still has as much floating-point hardware available to it as in the previous generation, it's just that the other core can borrow that FPU hardware in addition to its own if the first core isn't using it.
Yeah, there was some suggestion that adults who'd had chickenpox as kids would be at more risk of getting shingles if they weren't occasionally exposed to the virus from external sources though.
Actually, the DRM on Valve titles has become more restrictive over the years. Portal 2 in particular is obnoxious - it has DRM that prevented the game from running for many users when it was first released, isn't compatible with Linux or certain anti-virus software, randomly breaks playing offline, and is designed to quietly render the game impossible to complete if it thinks you're trying to bypass it. (I'm pretty sure I somehow managed to trip that last one on my legally-obtained, uncracked and unmodified copy.)
No it can't. All it would take would be one really nasty unforseen accident to drive that figure up by several orders of magnitude, and there's no way to rule it out statistically.

I'm guessing that's mostly bandwidth to the research networks, which have a lot more capacity available than the public Internet.

Meh. Mostly, the Catholic priests were raping boys - they probably had better access to them.

Both Aristotle and the Catholic church's love for him have a lot to answer for, in my opinion.

Second-hand PS2s seem to be a bit tricky to buy these days, actually.
