Try to learn more. When i learned about evolution, i heard nothing about intelligent design (neither pro nor contra). It isn't the scientists fault that ID reared its head in the USA and they got to 'defend' their theory.
I think the desire of the Groklaw audience is to put McBride and his criminal band into jail. His early leave is not so much wanted. This way he will probably get out of view with his ill-gotten money.
Of course, i might be wrong, i'm just one of the above mentioned audience.
I'm sure it isn't random useless crap. Just the reasons claimed are not the true reasons. I wonder what are the true reasons... Some possible ones:
1. a friend of the responsible politician is in the detector business, but didn't enter the market yet. They gotta get rid of the competiting wares before flooding the market with theirs.
2. the government is scared and convinced about an imminent dirty bomb action (or something similar where personal GM counters are useful) and don't want people to know about it.
3. well, i couldn't think up more, i'm not a politician. But there could be some other sensible reason.
Moon is also useful to experiment with planar (lunar) bases. If something works on the Moon, you can expect it to work on the Mars.
We might want to move people off of the Moon, and we might later want to move mined resources too. But you cannot find resources in space, so you gotta cope with that gravity well.
Just because there is no obvious energy source yet (other than you could probably cover half of the moon with collectors built automated and locally), it doesn't mean we won't find a way if we actually try.
Since you talked about animals, i meant fur/eye color in animals. Look at dogs and cats to get an idea.
If you wonder why wild animals are not so variable, then think about that every little thing that is 'doing something, but nothing serious', might still affect the survival ratio of the given bloodline.
For humans you see a bigger variation, because human intelligence/society keeps the less viable entities alive.
This is not true. There are many 'dead end' gene sequences that don't decode anything, or anything useful. Or they just decode an eye or hair colour variation.
The GPL is a software license, so they couldn't really release a specification under GPL. If all their stuff is just 'they won't sue you if you use this specification', then it is compatible with the GPL:)

But they will never support truly open source projects.
They will just support their own 'open source' definition.
Wouldn't it be good if the average intelligence in the world increases?
I've also contributed to the growth of the Galaxy.
It's slightly more than doubled.
If they are spotted, they failed. I think they should thank the spotters for the free bugtesting.
Fair enough.
when an AI will invent a game like chess :)

The terrorists got a BSD pseudo random number generator.
...the current electronic stuff coming from China is already equipped with self destructing parts that just wait for the signal.
Who voted for Mr. Bush twice? :)
I doubt it was all done by Diebold machines
For Apple it is a good feature, for the rest of the world it is either a flaw or they don't care. :)
I personally don't care
Yeah, but they will eventually die out.
Hmm, so you practically double or treble your disk capacity, considering you can safely recover data using software tools after 1 or 2 overwrites?
Why isn't this method on the market yet ?

I can imagine it will be able to kill kobolds, but i wonder how will it pick the right dialogue options :)

What's good for someone is bad for someone else.
This tape recycling is definitely good for someone.

how much you want to pay?
I bet some eager mods thought i talk about ODF :)
Of course, i wrote about MS's older binary formats, heh.
I don't know what you are talking about.
MS's newest format (ooxml) is supposed to be open.
All other office formats are obsolete.
