The first study you cite is irrelevant; you could just as well ask all British Christians whether they want the UK to be a Christian state and will probably get over 60% approval.
Regarding the second study, it's a small study conducted on behalf of the telegraph and I wouldn't be very surprised if it weren't representative at all / not drawn from a proper and large enough random sample (i.e., basically I suspect it is meaningless crap). The Gallup survey is representative for 90% of the world's population of Muslims and was conducted all over the world. If Muslims in England were indeed so much more violent than anywhere else in the world then you should perhaps ask yourself what them so violent in the UK. Is it their dislike for tea?
Anyway, your original statement remains as ignorant as before, whether you like it or not, because it was about Islam in general, i.e. all Muslims and not just the ones in the UK, and the Gallup study has clearly shown that Muslims are about as violent as Christians.
Say what you want, despite the larger number of Christians in the UK we haven't had them setting of bombs on public transport in the name of their religion, trying to blow up aircraft, and driving burning vehicles into airports. They don't disrupt remembrance day services, hold banners saying "Freedom can go to hell", and "Britain will become an Islamic state" or "those who insult Jesus will be killed". There aren't reports of Christians killing relatives for marrying the wrong person or leaving Christianity every week. They don't demand that areas with lots of Christians become "Christian law" areas and say they will violently punish people who don't dress the way they like. Muslims do all these things.
Islam is an evil religion that tells them to kill non muslims. They would use it if teh could get away with it.
Sorry, whatever protection you have against terrorists is highly inefficient. The only reason you aren't dead is because no-one rellay wants to kill you.
So no, you are wrong. Most muslims are good people that doesn't want to kill anyone.
Exactly. Chrisq's commentary is based on utter ignorance. There was a large Gallup study about the Muslim community, the largest ever conducted about this topic, published as a book in 2008. In a nutshell, the study shows that Muslims are as peaceful as other people and share amazingly many views with e.g. most Americans. And, not very surprisingly, the very small militant minority among them is primarily motivated by political -- not religious -- reasons just like most other militants.
Millionaires are cool nomatter what they do. I saw a program where the averagely attractive (being generous) easyjet entrepreneur Stelios Haji-Ioannou was discussing really boring things like margins, volumes, etc. with his business manager in an airport lounge when a lot of young and attractive females came to get his signature - because he is an unmarried billionaire! I am pretty sure that a convenience store manager holding a similar conversation would have been ignored.
Ever find yourself in a public place, like a mall or stadium and the little thought flashes through your mind, "I just need the really big gun and I could clear this place out." or "I wonder how much gold I could get clearing this place out"
And for those of us that are unemployed/have too much free time on our hands, most, if not all, of your friends are frequently busy, and have already done your exercise regimen (if you have one) for the day, video games tend to be a great solution...
Because something that is inependently invented within a year of the filing date and before the patent is granted doesn't deserve patent protection.
Conceptually, it is clearly something obvious enough to those skilled in the field and thus not patent worthy. Practically, society has the invention there's no need to grant a temporary monopoly on it to someone in exchange for them publishing it.
If you had that exception there would be a can of worms. How many people would claim to have invented something even if they had seen "patent pending" the example?
We cannot tell anything without seeing sample data. The 22 categories might be fine and compliant with the law. It seems to me that a lot of the data in the 57 categories was over and above personal data as defined in the data protection act. What's the point of giving encrypted passwords for example!
While it is nice of Google to offer this, I don't really understand why people care. The SID was always public information as are the location of the AP. So to then turn around and accuse Google of invade your privacy by recording what essentially you've told your AP to shout from the rooftops seems a little contradictory to me. It isn't like SIDs are personal or in any way linked to you as an individual or even your surfing activity.
So as I said, nice of Google to do this, but I'd question what anyone who opted out really hopes to accomplish by doing so...
An SSID of "I hate Islam" might work well in the leafy suburbs of Surrey, but you might not want the location broadcast world wide
Owning such a huge chunk of an online persona - the bank will charge higher fees to those who don't accept its offer or who have money elsewhere - creates huge switching costs should the customer wish to defect.

As someone said before, Bitcoin would be a lot more valuable if your currency held the promise of something. For example selling your computer time makes much more sense than doing calculations designed to waste computing power. I've wondered before if there was anything to Bitcoin, but I really can't think of it as a currency. I think of it more like the stock market, and how I can abuse it to make a profit. In the end I'm better off just making money doing real work.
Unfortunately in this world doing real work is the one thing that will guarantee that you only get a commodity level of pay. That's why stockbrokers and lawyers make more than programmers or mechanics
do marketing for MS. But seriously, their R&D department do some pretty cool stuff. Even though MS manage to churn out nine-nines of crap products, occasionally they still come out with something awesome that they manage to get to market (think Kinect).
On other occasions they just patent it so that nobody else will
I worked for a software dev company before, quite well known, and in my contract was a specific clause stating *anything* I produced, no matter where and when, would be considered the intellectual property of the company.
You can often ask for specific exclusions. We have a web developer who writes children's picture books in her spare time. When she applied she asked for an specific exception for these to be put in her contract. Since there was no overlap with her work for the company they did it without question.

Yes, you remain ignorant.

How about 28% of British Muslims wanting to make Britain an Islamic state or 6% of British Muslims thinking that the tube bombings were wholy justified That is over 170,000 muslims in the UK would like to see us killed. Sorry for ignorantly objecting to it.
Someone please explain: why should he have been stopped?

with a bit of brains and letting years wear you tired you kind of become a misanthropic bastard all by itself no effort on your side needed.
I've spent a great deal of time and effort honing my misanthropy you insensitive clod
What's the spelling? It's a UK story, with the correct spelling in TFA, posted during UK breakfast time,...
Well fibre is on a lot of people's minds at breakfast time.

What! Are you a Muslim?
I am *sooooo* going to sue you for using the word "tweenage."
And Disney will sue you both for impersonating Elmer Fudd

In saner countries, "theft by legal extortion" is known by the name of "barratry" and is usually against the law as a known abuse of the legal system.
