Interesting to note that even though the US has tougher immigration and naturalization policies than Japan (save the dual citizenship thing), and even though most countries with an aging population problem also have a chronic shortfall in geriatric nurses, if a Japanese company works on developing robots, they are suddenly labelled as "xenophobic" by the luddites, who have stereotypes of the Japanese people to back themselves up.
Putting universal tax on oil was what G. W. Bush wanted, and one of the reasons why he disagreed with the Kyoto Protocol, which did something a bit more complicated.
Clip from the beeb:
If existing clean energy and energy conservation technologies were applied in full, Mr Clinton said, the US could "meet and surpass the Kyoto targets easily in a way that would strengthen, not weaken, [its] economy".
Okay, I know what you're (or someone else is) going to say. So he got a blow job, what's the big deal?
If the new generation of DVDs are designed to block copying, is the (HD/Blu-ray) DVD drive going to be directly connected to the video card, surpassing the CPU?
In the States, the point is irrelevant if the style/layout is sort of similar or very similar. It doesn't matter, since parodies are exempt from copyright restrictions.
Another confusing thing about the article is what they mean by "unique users" when they say "iTunes has eclipsed QuickTime in unique users."
It's impossible for the iTunes installation base to exceed the QuickTime Player installation base, since iTunes doesn't function without QuickTime Player installed.
I can believe that the iTunes frontend would be used more frequently than the QuickTime Player frontend (especially since QTP doesn't support fullscreen), but I'm not sure what that has to do with the number of "unique users." Also, what about players that don't report back "anonymous usage statistics." How could one know the usage levels of MPlayer, VLC, and Media Player Classic (CCCP)?

After seeing the clip, I am offended by the ruling. Where can I file a complaint?
