Did you even bother reading the summary? This thing could run on any flammable liquid (with varying levels of efficiency.) It could have been a strong candidate for reducing oil consumption, not "burning through" it.
You're right that there's a double standard, but generally I'd argue that the IRS is actually pretty lenient. They give you a heads up and give you a chance to pay (eventually with modest fines) for quite a while before they start getting ugly. At that point, you may very well be SOL, but as long as you aren't deliberately trying to fuck them over there is plenty of opportunity to solve the problem with minimal inconvenience.
It was released to the open-source community under the condition that to be patent-compliant, forks had to maintain a certain level of compatibility. Android is not close to compatible.
22% of the US foreign debt. 75% of the US total debt is owed to domestic holders, mostly corporations. The actual amount that the PRC holds is closer to 4.5% of the total.
Why does the mainland Chinese government get better treatment from the "free world" than any other petty dictatorship? They've repeatedly shown that they aren't prepared to act in a respectable manner, so why should they get respect?
The typical interpretation that I've seen from the more conservative pro-gun groups is that it includes any weapon up to and including what would normally be used by a single infantryman in wartime. So you can have rifles, smaller anti-tank weapons, and MANPADS, but anything crew-served is out.
Other than the 7" screen, this thing not only meets but surpasses the iPad's specs.
Dual-core Cortex A9 processor: The A9, at the same clock speed, is 20-30% faster than the A8. This has two of them. We're looking at almost triple the iPad's processor power.
1GB of RAM vs 256MB
QNX-based multitasking OS - depending on how they dumbed it down, could be way beyond iPhone OS
1024x600 at 7" vs 1024x768 at 10" - I think the pixel density on the PlayBook is at least a bit higher.
Time Warner's Roadrunner service has had a similar policy for a while, and it's really not that bad of a deal. Basically, if the RIAA/MPAA sees your IP address, instead of trying to extort you for money, they just tell TWC, who redirects you to an angry-sounding webpage next time you try to use the Internet. You click "Accept" or whatever, and then the problem goes away. No subpoenas, no lawsuits. You can do this twice. It's not until the third time that something actually bad happens, and if you're incompetent enough to get caught three times, you shouldn't be on the Internet.
Japan would win that one. Their Air Force is capable of holding their own and their Navy is probably the second most powerful in the world, despite being slightly smaller than PLAN. It would never come to a ground conflict.

Yes, but the US Government is less credible to the anti-authority basement dwellers than Assange is, because they apparently like people who have the same distorted view of reality that they do.
You may have the "right" to use it how you see fit (highly debatable in this context under US law, specifically the DMCA), but the manufacturers also have the "right" to put encryption on media.
The blind faith many people seem to put in Assange confuses the hell out of me. He pissed off the United States, so any and all allegations against him are automatically baseless? By those standards, all anti-US terrorists in US history are automatically innocent.
except possibly in clock speed. I'm fairly sure than an 8-core 4.25GHz Power7 is probably as fast or faster if the workload is properly threaded, which any enterprise server or mainframe should be. On the other hand, on single-thread or few-thread workloads, the z196 probably has a bit of an edge, despite a large portion of its instruction set being microcoded.
I personally found it hilarious that he said: "This jet is a messenger of honour and human generosity and a saviour of mankind, before being a messenger of death for enemies of mankind," President Ahmadinejad said after unveiling the Karrar at a ceremony with defence officials." Gotta love the human generosity symbolized by weaponry.

Too bad Energia is actually owned by the Russian Federation government.

Depressing though. I saw what was coming as soon as the larger dragon took Scales away, but I kept hoping they'd avert that ending. Sigh. :(

In this case, the kernel is architecturally years more advanced than Mach or Linux.

Yeah, it still looks pretty bad. :/

The E70 is an early smartphone. And he had demoed the internet to the Taliban guys. I am assuming, however, that you did not RTFA.
Flamebait? Really?

Mainframe programs have largely been parallel for decades. This thing isn't designed for running Crysis.

Because their leadership is 100% okay with going out in a blaze of glory.

They both already operate UAV's, so I think such a story is unlikely.
Who said anything about it being a crime? What law says that law enforcement officers can't ask questions?
