What about some more stories about nanotech, chemistry, weapons (directed energy, lasers, microwave), IPOs, robots, network security, network performance, etc...
Why not indeed? But Global warming has a greater potential impact on the way we all live our lifes, and on the future development of technology, than all those important topics put together.
You could save a powerpoint file as a standalone.exe file which would (and still does) run on any windows computer. Haven't used powerpoint for years, anyone know if it still does this?
"Parliament has to be strengthened. It is the only democractic part of the EU."
Hmmm. The Council of Ministers is made up of the elected governments of the member states, so is democratic.
Appointed courts are generally seen as a normal part of a democratic system.
The Commission is a second-tier democratic institution (nominated by elected governments; ratified by an elected parliament).
Parliament is important but strengthening its power is only one of a number of options for increasing the responsiveness of government in Europe. Genuine subsidiarity (devolution of power to the lowest practical level) would also help.

If he's using it for legitimate purposes, why does it matter whether it's under the radar or not?
Well you could want to stay under the radar if you were using P2P to get hold of Falung Gong documents in China or Microsoft products in Iran, but you're right, it's unlikely that the grandparent was anything other than a theif.

Presumably the reasoning is that people are using "computers" to access the BBC.
It is surely possible to reserve system resources to allow you to carry out those functions without multi-threading...
try multimap.com's maps for elsewhere?
In most jurisdictions there is no copyright on legal drafting...
But you will agree that the market is necessarily limited to people who already own modern computers, so people have a certain level of income.
Windows and Word on a second partition.
but in a loser pays system such ambiguous cases are usually settled...

no coward!
I didn't link to the website I just made it up on the spot!
You can set your preferences to ignore topics that you are not interested in.
our boreal forest ecosystem will shift to a St.Lawrence-Deciduous style forest
Someone's been playing too much Civilisation
The CNN website can be read by people in countries where science is respected for what it is.
Even in the US, the overwhelming scientific consensus is that climate change has been caused by man.
And even the big European oil companies are coming around to that view.
Well fair enough, that's a long haul and might sell it to me. Not orders of magnitude though!

90%+ in Humanities!
In the UK no respectable university would give that high a grade for any arts subject.

I'm typing with my nose you insensitive clod!
I don't know about religious, but was definitely worth upgrading from Windows 1.0 to Windows 3.1.
Multitasking ROCKS!
I have a projector, albiet used only infrequently, the incandescent bulb for which has lasted for 5 years. Are you telling me that LEDs will last 500?
Surely the poster meant a regular table fork, not a pitchfork!

There is only one place in China that you enjoy the freedoms that your looking for -- Hong Kong.
Macau?
Taiwan?
and probably illegal.
Besides, how do they mean consumers will benefit when the dollar rises against the euro? They'll just use that as an excuse to put prices up.
There is a mechanism for dealing with exchange-rate risk, hedging the currency market. This way smacks of profiteering.
