They re-introduced native code in the WP8 SDK. I'm not sure whether you can allocate executable memory, though, which would make JITing JS compilers impossible.
The largest threat of terrorism to the UK does not come from Islamic extremism: the largest threat remains continuing branches of the IRA. Those damn radicalized Christians!
The British only have SLBMs, which arguably are sufficient for both first and second strike capability. The French have both SLBMs and medium-range fighter-bomber launched missiles.
Until Mountain Lion it was "Mac OS X", which to many is still "Mac OS". Yes, it may have little lineage to Mac OS of yore, but that doesn't mean that wasn't its name.
Their workstation/server CPUs for use in multi-CPU applications go up to 16 cores (actually two eight core chips on a multi-chip module (MCM)), whereas Intel go up to eight.
The switching penalty is real, but isn't *massive*. The bigger issue is with four cores against eight you'd need double the single-thread performance to be equal, even ignoring the switching penalty: certainly, the Intel chips are far quicker at single-threaded operations (this is, after all, Bulldozer's weak point), but they aren't double.
If you can keep all eight cores busy, Bulldozer is massively better in terms of performance/price compared with anything from Intel.
That's not really relevant, to be honest: it's still at least double the power consumption compared with Cortex-A15 SoCs (and you can be sure as hell the Intel figure is processor only, not memory, chipset, interfaces, etc.), and they idle at an order magnitude less, which is important for mobile devices.
They can't run arbitrary code --- they can only run code bundled with the application. If they can run code not bundled with the application, they are in violation of the rules.
No, you can have your own HTML parser and CSS layout engine. What you're not allowed is anything that will execute any code not provided by the application (which therefore includes any JS engine taking content from the web), except for WebView.
XNU is not a microkernel, and never has been. Yes, it's ultimately derived from Mach, but it contains large parts of BSD-derived code in the kernel too (originally from BSD4.3, now FreeBSD). Everything within the kernel is done by direct function calls, not message passing as with a microkernel.
The original investigation, as I understand it, was about the fact that he had sex with her in her sleep (this is in almost all countries rape, as someone asleep is not able to consent), and explicitly told him to stop when she awoke, which he did not do. That story has been entirely consistent from the time it happened.
Well, yes. GCC being outdated when it's all but abandoned and Clang is the default compiler isn't massively surprising. If you care enough, you can always build an up-to-date GCC version.
I can't find data for the whole EU, but http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/EAWreport%202010.pdf/Files/EAWreport%202010.pdf covers EAWs received in 2010 by Ireland. Appendix 3 gives classification by the principle offence, showing 22 out of 373 being sexual offences (the most common is robbery/assault/theft with 138).
Mozilla has no license at all. Virtually all mobiles have hardware decoding (in form of a DSP --- I'm unaware of any using the GPU) for H.264, so the license has already been paid for.
This is for *Android Firefox* as the subject says --- you'll be able to build your own Firefox (for Android) and you'll have H.264 support. This does *nothing* for Windows/OS X/Linux/other-OS-here.
IE8's big change was all the brand-new layout engine (thus the fairly rapid development in IE9/10, coming from nowhere to being right up there with CSS Level 3 module support). It changed relatively little elsewhere.
Except that's not the case. Go to any Google website in Opera: it looks different. Why? UA sniffing. Go to Facebook in Opera Mobile: it looks different. Why? UA sniffing.
In both cases Opera functions fine if you change the UA string. Sadly, evangelism isn't enough to fix everything.
Avionics software may be subject to totally different requirements, but plenty of other life-critical systems is not. Medical systems have very little in the way of certification requirements in most western countries, for example (and yes, it's a terrifying reality how insecure and buggy, esp. in obvious ways, such software is!).

The US has largely derived its system from English case law. Scots law is entirely unrelated to US law.

They haven't. There's just not the interest in browser vendors to go there.
The TGV have had a grand total of zero fatalities on high speed lines in France since they opened in 1981, as a point of comparison.
The TI-89 is 68k based to this day.

No, it provides an opt-out standard. An opt-in standard would be sending a "Track-Me: Yes" header.

Really? OS X looks more like NeXTSTEP (from which it is directly descended!) than CDE.

It is still under copyright in the UK (copyright held by the Crown has no fixed expiry date), FWIW.
