I remember reading that one of the most common household combinations of newspapers was the Times and the Sun. Either way, MPs will definitely be paying attention to the Sun even if they don't read it themselves; it has a huge national influence sadly.
Python is my favourite language, and C# is my favourite high-level language. Compared to Java there's much less boilerplate required, and there are plenty of features which make it IMO pleasurable to program in. While it occupies a comparable niche to Java, the difference is light and day in terms of developer joy.
I've lived in England all my life, and have never heard the word used as you described it, although I knew the definition... probably from someone else posting the same here:)
The license fee is hardly unpopular unless you read the Murdoch press, which has been smearing it for years now. From Wikipedia:
In September 2009, The Guardian reported an ICM poll showing an increase in support for the licence fee to 43%; "The fee is backed by 43%, against 24% who think advertising should foot the bill and 30% who think people should pay to subscribe if they want to see BBC programmes. In 2004, only 31% backed the licence fee, 12 points lower than today."
So support has increased over the last decade by quite a bit despite all of the propaganda in the press; I don't see a public revolt happening any time soon.
The JME isn't an Australian journal, it's published here at the British Medical Journal. One of our most widely publicised articles in fact (yes I do work at the BMJ as a developer). You can read the editor's response here as to why it was published.
Your strategy (tit for two tats) is worse than plain tit for tat as a strategy in the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemna, if not by much. There's a very good section on it in Critical Mass, along with lots of other interesting stuff.
Morality has an inherent evolutionary basis that is wired into our brains as instincts and emotions. Sure you can go to the huge effort to condition someone to act in an unusual manner, but it's not easy to do and often requires constant reinforcement.
I agree, it's not the greatest language out there (that would be Python lol), but "modern" Javascript development using libraries like jQuery mean you don't worry about the warts and just get on with doing things quickly and concisely. Which I like a lot:)
Rapidshare has been consistently good over the last couple of years IMO, the problem is less stuff using it. I got 4 Mbit/sec earlier using JDownloader.

Learn what jQuery is.
Blame the over-optimistic ideas of the Enlightenment.

Except it most definitely is a term used in the UK - from the Guardian.
I would say touché, but I'm not a Marxist :)
Yes, after coming from Java there were quite a few "ooh, shiny" moments that made me happy. I keep meaning to write something just to play with LINQ.
I've noticed that some of the most rabid libertarians on here, including roman_mir I believe, are actually Russian emigrees.
Partial classes - bloody genius idea. IDE-generated boilerplate in one file you don't touch, your code in another.

Apart from the guy in Afghanistan on his fourth tour right?

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
So discussion should only be limited to mainstream views?

And yet in both the Netherlands and Portugal heroin use is dropping, especially amongst the youth.
Science disagrees with you there I'm afraid.

You've never heard of node.js (or other equivalents), and you can't compile a Java executable either.
Why would you try and add an array to a code block?

Well if they're watching TV, then yes.
It's that roman_mir guy isn't it? Trying to destabilise the Fed from his secret Swiss base.
