Looks like this guy has lost contact with the real world long time ago.
In fact, what kind of reaction do you expect from a democratic government, also (many western governments are moving to ban cell phones with unidentified users), and "sedition/treason/public disturbance" is a crime also (although what constitutes one of that is more tightly defined).
Yes, I have revised TFS and TFA and I don't know why I got the idea that MySpace had previously owned imeem (maybe the fact that it was "the exclusive way for artists to sell its music through MySpace", but of course I made an incorrect assumption there). Please ignore my paragraphs two and three.
Anyway, the deal still may be brought to the courts to find if it can be nullified.

First of all, insolvency is when there is not enough liquid assets (moneys or goods easily converted to money) to cover short term obligations. In this case the most usual measure taken is oversight of the bussiness, often by an administrator apointed by a judge, but to try to continue running the bussiness*. The term when there are not assets (even those that need more term to be sold / cashed in) to cover obligations is bankruptcy, and it is when the remaining assets and distributed amongst creditors.
In this case, I think MySpace can be in trouble by the fact that they sold and rebought the bussiness in so little time. The charge could be fraudulent bankruptcy; setting a different bussiness from your assets in order to get back the assets while leaving the debts for the spin-off (that later gets bankrupt. If this was a Mafia film, think of bar buying liquor in mass in order to resell it cheaply, because when the time to pay for it comes it has been arsoned.
Of course I am not telling that MySpace has done that, but someone could try to present this to court and get to have a trial about it.
Also, if there is proof that some deal has been done in bad faith (for example, for both or one party knowing that the deal will rip off the artists while making the companies win a lot of money, a judge could also declare it void).
In summary, the bussiness and executives have been trying harmful ways to get money from everyone for a lot of time, and there are already laws in place to try to avoid this (of course they don't always succeed), so it may not be as clear cut as you think it is
Because it does not matter as both programs are not related at all?
I don't know the fuss about it, I am a IT professional, did some exercises with SPICE (circuit) while in the university and now SPICE (VM) may be interesting for my job as sysadmin. As a sysadmin, I do not need to design circuits anymore, so I don't think I will be ever confused.
Of course, my apologies if your post was just a joke...
It is so difficult for an editor of a site that calls himself "news for nerds" to know the difference between QoS and net neutrality? I mean, the issue has been discused for so long it is even boring.
TFS talks about the discrimination against "some types of data", that is QoS and generally accepted to be a good thing. In the other hand, TFA talks about different service providers (true net neutrality issue).
Giving the number of times these terms have been discussed, it is annoying that an editor still brings the error to TFS... I am beginning to understand the whole kdawnson rant.
Kid, if you can't do better than that, leave the job to someone who can.
Not so easy... the area is not just the narrow Red Sea or just coastal waters of Somalia.
As I have already put in another post, this is the stated position of one of the last ships kidnapped.
Sorry but the available data does not support your post.
The data I found about the position of the Alakrana shows that it was far away from Somali coast (way more than 200 mi). If it was Economic Zone of any country, it had to be of the Seychelles.
Of course I don't know if they were going to unload fish from Somalia coast, but you'd need some additonal data to back that statement.
In Spain, some years ago, I remember seeing the same news in TV news. The man realized he wasn't able to drive when he was in a highway, so the only thing left for him to do (*) was to call the police. The news didn't enter into details if he was prosecuted, but was I did understood is that, if any, the punishment was light (the police left the man at his house instead of in police station). The sensible thing to do, IMHO, because otherwise you just encourage people to try to go all the way even when they know they are drunk.
(*) I don't know about other countries, but in Spain cars cannot stop in highways except for breakdown or similar accidents, so there was no way to get a cab and he could neither leave the car there.
They didn't know there were things as microbes (or that you need to have a diet with vitamin C to avoid scurvy).
They sure knew there was a risk in taking the travel (as there was a risk in every sea travel), but I am pretty sure too that, had they know about these things, they would have taken steps to avoid/minimize the risks.
There is a step from "DNA mutation" to "Evolution", and that is adaptation to the medium. Did the mutations change the fenotype (the external aspect/behaviour) to something more adapted? Were set certains goals (for example, putting them in a medium less than ideal for the original strain, but to which its survivors have adapted) or the surviving changes did not affect at all at the species?
I suppose they may need some control to get better defined images... camera pills may be good if what you have is easy to identify and big enough that the camera will focus on it no matter its orientation (remember, things move in there), but I bet in many cases a doctor will benefit of more insight that knowing that "there is a lump of different color there". Also may help with locating the exact piece of tissue they are looking at (remember, there are no road signs in there).
The balance of terror that currently exists with nuclear weapons is hardly ideal. However, right now it is at least a fairly stable situation (granted, issues with Russia's early warning systems have made things less stable). Dictatorships like Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan tend to destabilize the situation quite a bit.
I find it amusing that you do not include dictatorships like China and Pakistan as destabilizing it. I also think it funny thinking that Israel didn't, either. Or that agressive, democratic western country is not a destabilizer, either. Or that we Western Democrats would never trust the "red button" to someone who joke about WWIII (Ronald Reagan, August 11, 1984).
I do not think the atomic strikes were as decissive as they have been shown... during WWII conventional bombings did achieve some destruction way greater than each of the atomic bombs. Of course, those raids meant a lot of planes and hundreds of tons of bombs launched, but by that stage of war Japan's interdiction capability was nearly null and building conventional bombs was way easier than building atomic bombs. Not saying that it did not help, but by that moment the Japanese government did already knew that war was over and that the cities would be mercylessly bombed.
My main point against your post lies in the last paragraph:
Japanese were racist against Europeans and USA people were racist against Japanese from the start, and Pearl Harbour and war propaganda did not improve that. To say that in the summer to 1945 they did think, suddenly, that it was just a "trade issue" is a gross missrepresentation.
"We could have resolved it with just free trade" does not make sense; it was not a tariff problem but the USA did embargo Japan before the war. So, no trade problem but a political one (motivated by the Japanese doing in China what Europeans had done through the entire world).
The reason given by McArthur to not punish Hiro Hito was because it would worsen the relations with Japanese people (the sentence was in the lines that judging Hiro Hito would be seen by a Japanese as fixing Jesus to the cross by a Christian). He did not said (to my knowledge) that he thougt Hiro Hito to be innocent (either objectively or because he "liked him". Realpolitik at work.
Japan was in bad shape, atomic bombs did worse it but the Russian attack did a lot scare both Japan and USA to get to some kind of deal (yes, I know the surrender was "unconditional", but it was not used and even Hiro Hito was allowed to remain as Head of State, something that otherwise would be unthinkable).
As long as I know, Jewish is more appropiately used when speaking of people who follow Judaism. If you designation is a racial one, I always think Hebrew, an Israelian if you talk about the citizens of that country. Of course, it may be just that in Spanish the words have slightly different meaning that in English, but I don't think I am very wrong. Also, of all the arguments that could settle the issue, I wouldn't use Nazi terminology as one, as it was defined just to justify their horrors (they just got the centuries old antisemitism, the jewish international conspiration dogma and the "race" and "evolution" concept that science had introduced and mixed them together).
As for Israel, I am sure that many of the people there are educated enough that would have no trouble with someone of other religion or atheist... but the religious nuts seem to be so powerful to make life difficult to those who don't agree with them, and besides it looks like there is a whole set of people who are just expansionist (independently of religion) and want to live in an state that paralels closely that of South Africa's appartheid (with a reservoir of people and land to be dealed with at wish).
Someone may say that Iran is way worse than Israel and I'd agree with that, but IMHO the difference is not enough to grant the difference in treatment (punishment to Iran, support and help to Israel). Especially when the support from the USA is one of the main things that allow Israel to dismiss at a whim the rest of the international community.
On a side note, I find it amusing that some serious media recognizes, without caring much, the existence of a "Jewish lobby" (IMO, "Israelian lobby") in Washington... what would they think if someone claimed to be part of the "Iranian lobby" or "Chinese lobby"?
Which map do you use? I am still starting my project and it could happen that I need to display the data in a public map service (still have not done any analysis is Google Maps suits me or not?
"that the Sun may not be the ideal kind of star to nurture life, and that the Earth may not be the ideal size."
Reminds me of Lem tales; especially the Ijon Tichy series. In some stories the Earth is considered incapable of producing life by aliens that proceed to explain that life was brought by other aliens. In others they just say that, as the Earth is so different to their own worlds, it is incapable of creating life as they know it, and even when the human protagonist tells he is from Earth the aliens do not change their mind. Sort of a parody of movies and books talking only about "green men" and likewise, and lacking imagination when thinking about other lifeforms
A:R was really the worst of the lot. The movie didn't have even the slightest coherence. A few aliens break free and in a few minutes there are tens of them and lots of eggs and a nest through all of the ship. Not to count the fact that they got some creatures with acid as blood inside cells without protection against acid, or that after getting the feat of cloning aliens and Ripley from tissue recovered a couple of centuries before they still need to see a physical alien to study it. And the military ask some pirates to kidnap people and after that they let them roam through the whole ultra-secret installation, instead of dismissing/killing them.
I enjoyed the first three. Alien3 was a back to origins film (the sheeps trying to kill the wolf before the wolf kills them one by one), althougt it also put more focus in secondary details (the lives of the prisoners, the alien inside Ripley). Aliens was a war movie, reminded a lot of films where lots of sneaky Vietcong attack well armored marines. I understand if someone does not like some of the first movies (or none at all) but the fourth one was -almost objectively- the worst of all.
In fact, in the AvP video games (don't know if they are canonical, and I don't mind) they tell the aliens were bio-engineered by another (probably extinct by the aliens) alien race.
It kinda makes sense, otherwise the ability to breed inside races completely new to them as the humans would be very hard to master
