You sound like the people who say they are entitled to complain about the government even if they didn't vote. It's technically true, but there is something wrong with it. If you don't see that, well, I can't help you.
It seems the human eye wasn't an 'evolutionary flaw' after all as some proclaimed. Quote: "The retina is revealed as an optimal structure designed for improving the sharpness of images."
Basically: The blood vessels can act as wave guides for the incoming light. Cool!
I find it funny that Ryan Tate is unable to engage in rational dialog without cursing (cursing is the analog to yelling in real life), especially when he has a chance to actually engage with the most well known CEO on the planet. He squandered it and comes away looking like an ass.
The difference with Google's response is that they find these problems after internal investigations. Most companies require govt. intervention these days. Glad they caught the mistake!
For some reason the human psyche accounts for a higher power, and that's why every civilization in history has been religious. So it's a little more complicated than the simple world view you put together.;)
Sometimes I wonder if people like you ever take a step back and think, 'Oh, maybe it was the millions of rapists that actually caused more misery.' Whatever floats your boat. (btw. rapists aren't an institution)
I do some research with CNTs, so maybe I can help answer this.
Carbon nanotubes are not completely unnatural, there is probably a very small percentage found in your fireplace (if you are burning carbon based wood, is there another kind?;) ).
Most methods of production involve taking some form of carbon and applying enough energy to it break it up and allowing it to reform. In the 1950's, some Russian researchers were first publishing about these very small and strange carbon rods that they found in their powder. Going from memory (don't know russian), I believe they started with some electrodes with carbon on them. After applying high voltage to them, a discharge (lightning) forms and breaks down the carbon. In this soot, some of these carbon nanotubes were found. They were unaware of the significance of their discovery at the time.
In 1991, Iijima published their 'new' discovery (not knowing about the Russian paper, language barrier and all) of the CNT and since then, research has exploded into finding and refining new ways to make them. Their method of production involved laser ablation, where a carbon target is hit with a laser. The hot debris is carried by an inert gas and while it cools some nanotubes are formed.
Now there are companies that can send you a black powder that is >95% carbon nanotubes. At our lab, we take these and mix them with a surfactant to make a CNT solution. If you filter this solution, the CNTs accumulate on top of the filter and form a black sheet of carbon nanotubes. This paper paper goes by the name of buckypaper. In the article, it seems that instead of a surfactant they are using cellulose. If you want them to align while they are forming the paper, all one has to do is apply an external electric field. The quasi-one dimensional nature of the CNTs gives them a higher magnetic susceptibility along their axis than perpendicular to it. This helps them align along the magnetic field lines.
Actually, Microsoft does not support booting off of an external USB HDD device, but some smart folks have found some tricks around it (that I am currently having success with!):
Has anyone ever had the problem of trying to find song lyrics and being bombed with pages full of nonsence?! First time I tried with this interface I got the exact results I was wanting. So I know now that this is better for lyrics... what else would it be better for?
"You know mom, google really brought a lot of attention to Miro and his paintings (+$), if we were to throw a fake lawsuit at them and leak it to the press, Miro's paintings would be even more well known and controversial (+$)."
This is just set up to appease the 'protect the children' crowd, because the US govt. would only try to gain authority over US domains.
If they even proposed getting involved with ICANN, this would bring back the 'which govt. owns the interweb' debacle.
How many more problems can the US of A handle at once?

Do you recall that all of the other major search engines offering calendar services swiftly bent over to the demands of the DOJ, while google was the lone resistance?
And who would be smart enough to put that kind of information up in the first place?

Are you serious?
The yahoo interface doesn't even compete with google's.
First there are no hotkeys, and to add an event, you specificially have to click on the number/date (waste of time).
e.g. In the month view, do you like having to click the number 13 to add an event (mind you that a new page loads) or do you like clicking anywhere inside the box, and having an instant prompt, as in google's?
I could go on and on...
Now, I do agree that there has been a lot of 'fanboyisms' with google here on slashdot, but you really picked a bad example by bringing up yahoo calendar.

I think that most slashdotters love hotkeys, so here ya go:
Some Google Calendar hot keys:
a - Agenda view
c - Create event
d - Day view
j and k - forward and back on days/weeks/months
n and p - next and previous, same as j/k
m - month view
q - quick create event, can add date and time and info and it will be added accordingly. I particularly like how it doesn't force the calendar view to focus on the new event. (e.g. april 14 breakfast at tiffanys 03:00)
s - calendar settings
x - 'next four days' view
/ and ? - both highlight the search input field, but add a / or ? to the beginning
(on a side note, is there a hotkey for firefox that automatically highlights the input field on a viewed page?)
at the moment, if pro gaming is on the PC for the most part, then people can have an advantage on eachother just by having a better system or knowing about all the graphic/networking tweaks
whereas on a console, there is a level playing field for everyone.

You just haven't adapted along with it. Use search modifiers and your problems will be solved.
I think you're delving into semantics. Christians define God as Love as in "God is Love". Does love exist?
These questions wouldn't exist without humans. Right? ;)

Ah, the thought of comparing a postman reading mail to rape. I wonder what moral relativism will look like for my grandchildren. Oh, and in the UK they arrest you for just about anything these days. I'm sure you know about the guy arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin? http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2010/05/03/2010-05-03_gay_cop_arrests_preacher_for_saying_homosexuality_is_a_sin.html
