You could use a thermosyphon system to take the hot oil up to air cooled coils on the roof if it is cool / windy enough outside, and you wouldn't need to provide any pumping.
No, spoken defamation is slander. Published defamation is libel.
If a reasonable person would not believe a statement, then damage to reputation can not occur and hence it is not defamatory.
For example, you could argue that a reasonable person would not believe a MySpace page purporting to be from a school principal admitting to being a paedophile, and so it would not be defamatory.
I can say "George Bush told me that he has sex with goats" and this is not defamatory because it is ridiculous.
Yes, chemists.
Digging deeper into the UW website though you'll find this:
"CIMS researchers have a broad background covering mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, polymer chemistry, materials science, bioengineering, and biology."
And Chunye Xu is a chemical engineer by training.
Or how about a process engineer from a chemical plant then. In the role you get calls pretty much any time of day or night to answer questions from operators, whether you are on call or not. Unless you are saying that I should never go out to the cinema you've got to accept that some people have jobs where they need to be reachable. In response, my phone is always set to silent and vibrate so that I don't disturb other people.
No.
The moving parts inside can be made from a different material from the outer shell, so if an oil is used instead of sea water then the moc options are much better. I have enough problems specifying fans for chemical plants that are near sea from the salt content in the air. As a fan runs open to the atmosphere, you have to use sometimes quite exotic steels for the impellor, shaft and moving parts, while the outer casing can be made from mild steel and just be painted to protect it.
Of course, those of us who live in the civilised world can not disclaim our rights to a product being as described, of merchantable quality and fit for purpose. Any contract or licence that attempts to exclude these statutory rights is invalid, hence the use of severability clauses.
I think the one-legged one was tethered rather than being self contained - I always find non-autonomously powered robotic mechanisms disappointing if I'm honest!
Even the title specifically mentions bipeds.
And the Segway was certainly not the first inverted pendulum to be controlled. It was just the first to make it into a stupid roll along machine to ride on.
My understanding of this situation is that Amazon would have been under no obligation to ship, due to the fact that the purchaser as a reasonable person should have known that the price was a mistake. If they had not shipped and the purchasers tried to sue, Amazon would have won under the doctrine of unilateral mistake.
However, Amazon shipped the goods, and so executed the contract at the price on the invoice. At this point they have no case, and no right to charge the customers.
Not if it's posted by a member of the public. But this was selected by an editor rather than just typed into a phpbb form or similar.

Under United States law, libel generally requires five key elements.
1. The plaintiff must prove that the information was published, 2. the defendant was directly or indirectly identified, 3. the remarks were defamatory towards the plaintiff's reputation, 4. the published information is false, 5. and that the defendant is at fault.
So in this case if/. was the defendant, a feasible route for The Planet if it chose to sue would be:
1. Available online. Clearly published. 2. Link's right there. 3./. readers could very easily be considered to be potential employees and users for The Planet - if any are put off using the service then the reputation has been defamed. 4. Provide records of all recently terminated employment relationships 5./. should certainly not have reported this anonymously
I think there is an extremely good potential case there. This may hurt/.
Your case can only go to the Lords if there is a question of a general legal principle involved. It's not up to you whether your case goes there, and it won't for normal proceedings anyway.

It is in the UK at least.
An act is only illegal if it is criminal. If it leaves you liable in a civil action, it is unlawful. Semantics maybe, but there is a difference.

Not to mention the fertilisers used. They're fossil fuel generated too.
That seems quite sensible really. T rated tyres are rated up to 118 mph, V to 149 mph etc.

Innovate with new works, rather than trying so hard to milk old ones.
But that's difficult!

That seems ridiculous. Of course without any evidence to back this story up, Slashdot could probably now be sued by ThePlanet for libel.
Never? Not even Bananaphone?
They should just turn the lights off and let the exhaust be eaten by a grue.
Of course we get (got?) MitM!
That's not necessary. You do not need to violate all claims of a patent to be infringing, just one.

No, the European Court of Justice is the supreme court for the UK.
