Intel just is not interested that much in x86 as everyone wants a tablet. Businesses will switch to them too in a few years with keyboard that plug into your new 13 inch Metro tablet for content creation.
After looking around my office at the amount of screen real-estate needed for me and my co-workers to efficiently do our jobs, I can only say one thing:
These are not "hot Jupiters", they are gas giants dozens of astronomical units (i.e. billions of miles) from their host star. The innermost (HR 8799e) is substantially farther out than Saturn, nearly as far as Uranus. The outermost is substantially farther out than Pluto. I wouldn't expect that b, c, and d would have appeared to move much. Planet e wasn't detected in the 2008 images, and probably would not have appeared to move much between the 2009 and 2010 images. I would expect that e has an orbital period in the neighborhood of 50 years, with b-d in the hundreds.
As a Seahawks fan, I have to say that your implication that the 12th man effect is improving their game is very depressing to me. Without the 12th man, they'd suck even more than they do.
If by "roman empire" (~27BC-~1450AD) you meant "Roman republic" (~509BC- ~27BC) you'd be right on your second point. The government as formed under our Constitution in 1787 was no empire.
You could reasonably argue that the U.S. has engaged in imperialism since, but to claim that the US government was modeled after any empire is prima facie ludicrous.
How could he have possibly stolen credit card numbers? After all, the original owner still has them, all he did was copy them! It's infringement, not theft!
May be the DoJ (as opposed to private entities) was not previously allowed (/required?) to pursuit copyright infringement cases and now it is possible.
They are where the infringement falls under criminal law.
T-Mobile had a product that gave you free calls when you provided your own backhaul. It used wi-fi and your broadband connection. They discontinued it because very few people adopted it.
T-Mobile still has something similar (WiFi Calling), at least on my Android phone. There's no extra charge, but they still count the minutes against your plan.
Building UNDER the water has other problems though-- Namely, risk of flooding, people getting trapped in airlocks, and the whole ball of wax of air, air quality, and atmospheric reprocessing/exchange. (Sad truth-- pumping air is expensive.) At such a shallow depth (basically 18 feet or so) there is little risk of developing nitrogen narcosis, but there would still be psychological effects of living in a tin-can.
Nitrogen narcosis isn't an issue - or the narcotic properties of other gases breathed at pressure. Not at 6 meters.
One physiological issue that would have to be dealt with is DCI (decompression illness). Spending a lot of time underwater, even at shallow depths, is going to require a metric asston of decompression when you return to the surface. Decompression theory isn't an exact science - and AFAIK, there isn't a lot of empirical data regarding long-term exposure to higher than atmospheric PPN2. Assuming that the hull is pressurized to ambient pressure, of course.
While the regulators need changing to truly protect us from banks, we just took a big step backwards this week by putting Republicans back in charge of that legislation. They are busy deregulating again, though the most they'll probably get is monkeywrenching the new regulations.
The Democrats control the Senate and the White House. Since any legislation has to pass both houses and be signed by the President, I think your scenario is pretty unlikely to occur....but don't let me get in the way of an uninformed rant. Carry on.
I haven't seen Adobe complaining that M$ offers Silverlight in the Optional section of M$ Update, even though M$ has clearly made some statement against Flash.
One important distinction - if you have on AV product, you don't need another. If you have Silverlight, you still need Flash (if you want to use Flash-based content).
I'm no Microsoft fanboy either, and I've also found MSSE to be very competitive with the other free (as in beer) alternatives. I help a few family members keep their AV, etc up to date, and now, when their current AV licenses need updating, I've been switching them to MSSE and ensuring that automatic updates are enabled.

Um, no.
Fuck, no.
What, are you on drugs or something?
I agree, plus the "I captured this soldier, he won't talk..."
There's an app for that!
Followup to my previous post - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HR_8799 confirms that the orbital periods are approximately 45, 100, 190, and 460 years.

What accounts for the new ice-age we are entering, with year-to-year glacial expansion, and London's prospective 3rd white Christmas in a row?
We are currently in an ice age, specifically the Quaternary ice age. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation

This is generally true only in cases where a jury has already been seated - which is true in this case. It's not universally true.
The prosecutor did the right thing, although probably for the wrong reasons.

Import/export of counterfeit physical goods and IP falls under ICE jurisdiction.
ICE is a department of DHS.
No, but ICE can (and does) confiscate counterfeit goods as it enters the US.
P.S. .com, .net, etc do fall under the jurisdiction of U.S. law as they are administered by U.S.-based entities.
I think this is the main point. Copyright infringement is not a crime (yet). A government office should not be interfering in a civil matter.
It can be.

The expression "Malaysian race" is as meaningless as "American race" or "Canadian race."
To be perfectly pedantic, the whole concept of race is flawed. We're all one species. Our only differences are cultural.

You keep using that word.
I do not think it means what you think it means.

No.

And MSE is only given as an option to people who don't have AV yet.
Exactly. I have mixed feelings on this.
On the one hand, I don't want to see MS put developers out of business because they offer a free alternative to paid software that actually works.
On the other hand, the typical user's Window box running without up-to-date AV is a menace.
On the other other hand, most of the paid AV products are bloated pieces of dung that deserve to wither away.
Damn. That's too many hands. Shit.
It's kind of sad, really. Back in the DOS days (pre-Symantec, and shortly after), Norton made some very good stuff.
These days, if someone wants me to work on their PC (usually because it's "slow"), the first thing I insist they get rid of is Norton AV.

There are at least two things I can think of that suck worse than Microsoft.
Norton is one of them.

If you're stoned anough, even Jar Jar is amusing.
That must be some bad shit you're smoking.
