As if every single country accepts every single "international law", except for the US.
Of course not, but there are several bits that are very nearly global. For example, every UN member apart from the USA and Somalia has ratified the UNCRC.
Somalia hasn't got around to it due to lacking a functioning government. Everyone else signed it in the 90s. Prior to 2005, the USA's major objection was that it would prevent them from executing children. That is failure to accept international law.
Who says the money is all going to people who have some sort of secret activities to hide? There could easily be groups that are so secret that nobody knows that they don't actually do any work.
The words "Apple," "iPhone," and "iPod" do not appear in the summary or summary's title. Is Apple and the iPhone getting so dominant that we can just assume that "The App Store" is alway's Apple's?
If it's a story about someone pulling an application shortly after it gets accepted, it's a pretty good bet.
They could use it to promote their other stuff. For example, suppose all mobile devices that weren't iPhones had somewhat flaky Facebook integration, but iPhones "just worked" with Facebook. Even better, suppose they set up some odd licensing conditions, making it hard for competitors people to mention Facebook in their mobile adverts.
Knowing their abilities with marketing, they could easily convince people that it was the only good way to use Facebook on the go, especially since it would tie in nicely with their existing "you are a cool person with a large social circle" branding.
The article states that there is video evidence of Terry Norman being chased by someone claiming he shot someone, running away and handing his gun to an officer that opens it and states that it's been fired 4 times.
Read more carefully. While the officer was seen opening Norman's gun by a camera crew, it seems they weren't filming at the time. The reason the new analysis is interesting is that it contradicts the FBI's claim that that gun was not fired, while matching up well with eyewitness accounts ("oh my God, he fired four times") which were made by people with no knowledge of the tape.
A publicly funded fire brigade? What's next? Public healthcare? You dirty socialist!
You're ignoring the greater problem: socialised defense! The federal government is taking your money, and using it to protect poor people from terrorism.
Wow, that picture looks spooky. It also looks a lot like a backscatter X-ray. In fact, the Wikipedia article features the same image.
The body produces an energy field that can be easily measured.
Citation needed, but anyway: what's an energy field? If you just mean a regular physical field, then well done! you've discovered that humans have mass. If you don't, then please clarify what you are actually talking about, and how you can measure it.
My feeling about it is that if you have 4 GB or more and never use most of it the upgrade to Win 7 is worth it.
FTFY. If you have a lot of RAM because you multitask too much or because you have an application or game that requires it, you're going to have to have less stuff running or tolerate some swapping if you upgrade.
Then once the smallest problem crops up, people would go "Why did you switch to such a rubbish system? We should have gone Microsoft" - again irrelevant of the change in problem amount.
Use MS software, and your boss will see it as MS's fault when it breaks. Use alternatives, and it'll be your fault. It's the 21st century analogue of "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM".
While I think that's a great idea, don't be surprised if you find out you can't legally show it before another movie if you're charging money for admission, or making money from the event in any way. I hope I'm wrong, but I won't be surprised if I'm right.
The CC-attribution license (mentioned in TFS) is pretty much what you'd think: it requires only attribution. In other words, you can do whatever you like with it, including modifying it, provided you don't remove the credits or claim it as your own work.
I'm not really seeing what's so extraordinary about this or how it's connected to "open source" outside of some tortured link with Blender.
The "tortured link" with Blender is that it was produced in Blender, as a project initiated by the Blender Foundation to promote Blender, demonstrate what Blender can do, and stimulate Blender development.
The open source angle would be that Blender is open source, and so is every other bit of software used to create the film (GIMP springs to mind).

Android is not Linux. Since January, Google has been working on an increasingly incompatible fork of the Linux kernel.
What are they worried about? The risk that this might lead to customers sucessfully using their service?

So, is the video on the net?
You know you can just use a regular Jabber client, right?

Maemo already does SIP calls and video chat.
Probability of an easy upgrade path if the product is discontinued.
Yes, it probably will be a fairly perverse AI if it is to be educated solely by the internet.
Premium lines run by the scammers, presumably.
Going on foreign holidays doesn't make financial sense either. People do it anyway, for fun.
It's suspected that the Guard believed Norman's shots to be sniper fire. It could've put them on edge, ready to overreact to something else.

Why haven't people been systematically doing this to everything ever since the DMCA was passed?

I have no idea which base64 scheme the article is using, but it doesn't even give the right number of digits. In RFC 2045 (MIME), it's GXJUnT.
Now, I'm sure this is just a coincidence, but: http://tinyurl.com/GXJUnT...
Mystery solved, I guess. Also, that is very cool.
I'd like the airbag to be controlled by something too simple to be considered a computer.
