I'm using that. Unfortunately, it is broken on some basic functionality like math symbols, so I frequently have to resort to downloading and viewing in evince. Worse, sometimes it makes insidious mistakes that are hard to catch, like exchanging "set intersection" with "set union" and leaving me completely baffled about a formula.:)
Ironically, I just switched back again. I mainly use Chromium for light-weight browsing, because it starts faster, and Firefox (or rather Nightly) when I need extensions or non-broken plugins. Apparently they still haven't managed to integrate a proper PDF viewer in Chromium, even years after one was included in the Windows version of Google Chrome.
Iran: Is this your camera? What is this camera doing here? US: Camera? What camera? That's not our camera; what is that camera doing there? Now can we have it back?
Material decay under long-term exposure to radiation, most likely. Also, as new technology becomes available, they may expect the plant to be out-dated and no longer worth the necessary modifications to match newer standards after thirty years.
I know hardly anyone sees ads anymore, but Google has moved on quite a bit. While the original "list of links" ad is still in use, they frequently have big animated image banners now. These criteria cannot be applied without blocking a considerable part of Google's ads too.
And if the only ads not blocked are a subset of Google ads, then that is no fault of Google, but the fault of the other advertisers who are determined to abuse customer's computer resources and attention. I will most likely continue to block all ads, but I recognize that non-disruptive text advertisements would be an acceptable part of a website to most people. It's up to advertisers to provide those ads. Perhaps this move will provide some selective pressure.
There are billions of computer-generated data objects displaying animated death sequences! Clearly, this is at least as important as the actual and rampant abuses of human rights going on throughout the world!
Since sarcasm might not be enough: Whoever wrote this piece is an inconsiderate idiot and should consider the perspective of real victims of genocide, oppression and torture before comparing their situation to a game.
And I don't blame Iran either. Iranian politics may range from backward through stupid to evil, but their jingoism is carefully stoked and fueled by the US, and this move is just the latest of that.
This wasn't diplomacy, and it wasn't an embassy, virtual or otherwise. An embassy's job is to interact and negotiate with the Iranian government on behalf of the US, not "inform" Iranian citizens of what the US government thinks about the Iranian government. Calling it an embassy is an insult.
Real diplomacy would require an actual conversation between US and Iranian leadership, with both sides coming to a table ready to make concessions and compromises. And setting up a real embassy would require sending a real ambassador to Iran. Doing either of these would require balls, both for the US and Iran. That'd be a courageous foreign policy. If the US were to propose this to Iran, it would likely be rejected (especially now), but making the offer at all would be radical progress.
Generally decisions can only be appealed to higher courts, and there is a finite hierarchy of courts. If the supreme court agrees to hear his case and then decides in his favor, that particular episode should be done.
The story won't; something else will be tried. I expect Assange will not be safe anywhere on the planet for a long time, and he's no better off if he hides in the shadows. Extradition from a first-world country is a small concern compared with the relative ease of abduction or assassination in less developed or unstable nations.
Burzynski wasn't just threatening to sue. They sent one blogger a photo of his house saying we know where you live. And they threatened the other blogger's family.
That sounds like these bloggers have grounds to sue the pants off the clinic and possibly file criminal charges.

Stop hassling Hollywood with your "physics"! :P

=D
Those GPS spoofers got to Slashdot too, apparantly, fooling the editors into thinking that the drone landed in Iraq.
It probably wouldn't be infeasible to emulate Emacs in a Firefox addon, either.
I think Randall Munroe wrote something about that. :P
How it works.
Closer to:
Did they post it on their digital embassy's blog? :P

Just retcon the retcons, and hope that time doesn't get messy enough for these guys to show up.

If it had already happened, why would we be allowed to talk about it?
To the lawyers, it's more like a full row of hotels on every case- ah, street.

If you're not broke, you don't need to worry either, because the scammers can soon fix that.

If they're done with the subtle, the London-Paris flight may as well make an emergency landing in Washington DC and save a trip.

Mobile phones will be prohibited on flights.
(But there are drawbacks as well; think laptops with lithium-ion batteries.)
Why on earth would you season a fire? Isn't it hot enough?
... wait, wouldn't a laser that powerful be capable of killing someone outright?
(*whoooosh*, I suppose. :P )
You could now print an invisible computer onto a piece of paper?
More awesome than can be described.
