Hrmm... Funny, he didn't come across that way to me at all. You, however, come across as a pompous linguistic Nazi, much like Orwell. If you compose sentences for people who don't have command of the language, then you are really quite delusional.
As is my understanding, resources are utilised, while tools are used. He was correct in its usage.
this is outrageous, shouldnt that be "He was correct in its utilization"?
i've always wondered: maybe the pope can first specify his position on non-vegetarianism and why the bible does not condone it as killing of another life. is it only human life that is worth dignity?
i can now understand why activist scientists rail on the church. its just tit for tat.
here are some other fictitious candidates where a slashdotter adds 2 and 2.
iPhone users becoming obese.
natalie portman featured in goatse video.
DRM robot synthesizer hacked by internet worm.

What seems to have happened is that some creationists decided to make evolution their litmus test. They decided to make it a big controvery. They decided to tell people that "omfg we have to oppose this with every fiber of our being" and I really haven't a clue why they did that (other than being stupid).
if you think about it for a second, creationists would be the very very last people to use the phrase omfg.
I know this may be a little controversial, but can we just skip all the "In Soviet Russia..." jokes? Regulars don't find them funny. They're only modded up by people who've just got mod points for the first time and want to fit in. Come on, be original!
i'd say its a bit of a gamble. maybe if MS fess up to this one and pay it instead of contesting (why not?) it could set legal precedent, and then the amounts could be much higher..
What Norwegians forgets is something very important. A more capitalist society has made this world a very nice place indeed. The number of people starving to death relative to the world population dropped by more than 50%, closer to 75% from 1980 to 2000. This drop came as the result of a more open, more capitalistic world economy.
causation vs correlation? how do you know the drop did not come about because of communist policies in russia and china? china is self-sufficient in food production so communism cant be bad either. the number of people starving to death has been more because of efficiency in agricultural practices and not any particular economic policy.
I just got my first phone in 4 years, maybe 4.5. I went with Verizon (whom I absolutely despise) because my girlfriend gets a big discount (39%) from work, so it's too cheap to pass up.
you need to probe why she's getting discounts in the high 30's at work..
hmm.. let's see: at the age of 7 you were mature enough to understand that the teacher was being a bitch and needed to fuck off. then your blood relative vouches for you and you get let off. i bet you gloat every now and then as to how cool that has made you. you need to get your head out of your rear-end and into perspective.
Showing the recording of the movie to friends without an exchange of money or physical property should not be illegal.
this makes it legal for 10000 people to buy a DVD each for $20, and screen it for the remaining 9999. so each person gets to see 10000 movies for $20. you may replace screen by P2P-broadcast and 10000 by 100000000 and you will see why content producers cry about "lost business".
While I do appreciate the funny mod, I was also being somewhat serious, if a cop has the authority to shoo you away from a "scene" and make sure you aren't taping him/her doing something, they can still get away with doing "bad things". I guess you just have to tape them covertly? I can also see all sorts of legal issues arising from this. ..good thing the ACLU is backing it up.
i am pretty sure the program is going to monitor stats about how many citizens were shooed away by cops. more than 50% people being shooed away, and the ACLU will launch another request for inquiry.
the program will also likely monitor abuse of cameras for home-videos and porn by picking somewhat responsible citizens from the neighborhood, so all you guys can stop dreaming.
Launched on 18 June 2007 was an Internet-based peer-review program whereby anyone (even you) can help to evaluate a number of software patent applications voluntarily submitted for public evaluation.
On 19th June 2007 it was determined that the Internet-based peer-review program was patented itself.
