Why stop there? If you have read/know that, you also read/know that this is only TEMPORARY. Somewhere between 2015 and 2020, the warming pace will pick up again and make up for the lost warming decade.

if the paint is used by more than one person and/or one brush
if the paint is used on more than one object
if the paint is used on an object that contains (residue of) paint from a competitive paint-manufacturer
if the paint is used on an object that is for non-personal use
if the paint is being used by a professional painter and/or if there is any financial compensation involved
the paint manufacturer can sue you as well.
They might even sue you for not closing the lid, leaving the paint in plain sight without any protective measures, lending the paint to a friend, improper use of the paint, etc.
There is more than just "sales" of "albums". Movies, tv-shows, games, commercials, etc need music as well and it is not uncommon that music is specifically written for them.
Yes, it is/was bad. It took time rather a long time (months) to get the whole process of activation more or less working. In the mean time, people were waiting for bugfixes and promised features, not understanding why it all was taking so long. Perhaps you can still get a glimpse of it all on the forums.
As for development-costs, I don't actually think you can earn them this way. Some people will pay, most people will just try an alternative if paying/activating is too complicated. OEM Licensing is probably a better way to (a route which they also have taken)
Last, codec is $14,95. There is a cheaper version, but that has no Interlace support among others, so pretty much useless in many circumstances.
But a low TTL does not imply low latency. It is likely, but may not always be the case. Also, a short TTL, low latency connection can still be unstable, causing resents and dataloss (malware, bad (wireless) connection, old OS, etc). It can also be a low bandwidth/poorly configured connection, only giving you 1-2KB/s.
The story is thus a bit more complicated than just TTL's and latency. Quality and Speed of the Peer's connection also come into play.
We got routers so we could have multiple computers share a single internet pipe that was coming into our homes. It didn't matter if the ISP said something about only one connection=one computer. Then we could have used switches as well. But at least here (Netherlands) we couldn't nor was it allowed (use of routers wasn't even allowed according to the service agreement).
They could, but that would probably be a loss from them. Price per Gigabyte is rather low these days, the current pricing schemes actually benefit ISP's, since 80% of the people is paying for something they don't really use.
Full commercial rates for the five to fifteen households you are now servicing. Why commercial rates? No-ones mention business use here. Second, just because people share stuff, doesn't mean some is servicing another. I don't even know what "servicing" means in this context?
Taser advocates an alternative cause-of-death scenario called excited delirium. The condition, which is not recognized as a diagnosis in official medical manuals, is used to describe deaths of suspects who become so agitated by drugs, psychosis or poor health that their bodies shut down during struggles with police. How the hell does one get so agitated of his/her own poor health (that during a struggle with the police), you die? I can imagine that people get extremely agitated by 50kV flowing through their bodies. I can even imagine people going psychotic because someone is putting 50kV through them. If they want to use the Excited Delirium scenario, they should also list as being Tasered as one of the probably causes of it.
So? Years back, "service" was intended for one computer. We got ourselves routers because it was quite silly that providers were charging on a per computer basis. It just didn't make sense. Yes, some bits were different, but it were still just that, bits. Story is still the same now.
Not only that. Tundra's also contain large amounts of organic matter in a frozen state (permaforst). Thawing them would release a huge amounts of methane and carbondioxide. The biggest worry is that that would result in a runaway greenhouse effect.
Iran has also admitted to have hidden their Uranium enrichment program from the IAEA for several years, an act which IS a violation of the NPT ( contrary to other claims in this thread that they haven't violated it ). It isn't, if you are going to call things bullshit, verify your own claims first.
At the end of the day, there is a working partnership in the middle east between the USA and Iran, the goal of which is to place the middle east under the Iranian umbrella as a counterweight to Russia, the EU, and China...
I have some reservations about that. Iran has the ambition to become the ME's superpower and they do want to "reuntie" the ME, but I doubt they will be the US's next best friend.
Iran still plans to move away from the petro-dollar which would be a slap in the face of the US and the dollar. And I don't think they have forgotten the 1953-1979 period (though that was both the US and the UK). Their attitude towards Israel is not exactly friendly and both the US and EU don't appreciate that. And China is desperately seeking oil and Iran has plenty of it.
I'm not sure who has the best bargaining chips, but I don't think it will be the US.
And I mean that in the most literal sense as in I am making fun of you for even suggesting it. If you don't agree with what I'm saying and think it is ridiculous, well, that's your prerogative and I'm always open to listen to arguments why. But I haven't seen any yet. And as for making fun of me for even suggesting it... How about those WMD's in Iraq? You might think that was a pretty good prank they pulled in front of the UN, but for those of us who in turn, agreed to be part of the "coalition of the willing", not amused... not amused at all.
By that same token, I wonder if the EU Galileo satellite network will be as generously shared with the general public as the US GPS system is with the world.
Yes, it will. In fact, while it is an EU-project, there are also international partners involved in the project, such as China, India, Israel, Ukraine, South Korea, etc.
Yes because GPS is owned and controlled by the most dangerous army in the world !
Armies are like guns. They are not dangerous, until you (aim and) pull the trigger.
That being said, as a European, I'm not comfortable with a critical infrastructure like GPS in the hands of the US. The current administration has shown that it is incapable of handling the power and responsibilities that come with being a superpower. Former US presidents warned for the influence of the Military-Industrial complex, but that lesson seems to have been forgotten, resulting in "Bringing peace and democracy to the Middle East".
Yes. This comes up in every GTA4 topic and is answered in every GTA4 topic. A PC-version will (eventually) be released, but no, it hasn't been announced yet.
I think the issue is that the list is a bit too long and some names should be explained.
I can vouch for McAffee and Norton. They both claim to be "included" for free in all kinds of packages (computers, ISP subscriptions) but in reality, they just ship you a 30-day trial version. What's worse is, that they are both overpriced, slow down your PC to such an extent it's like having a molasses filled harddrive, they're full of bugs (don't get me started), they just don't work (they're better in attracting malware than a honeypot) and deinstalling them... (ah well, they time you had to do a clean Windows reinstall is at least over)
Guess your post says it all. For those who didn't RTFA, here is the really short dramatic version:
... Authorities had threatened Google with criminal and civil lawsuits...
... ceding to pressure to lift its confidentiality duty to its users...
... a wide-ranging deal that would see the US company systematically providing data on suspect Orkut users to Brazilian authorities...
... the company had "no problem cooperating with Brazilian justice"...

They have an on/off-switch. Might be easier :-)

Saffron. More valuable than oil :-)

What happened to your constitution? Wasn't it supposed to (specifically) prevent this?
Ironically enough, in 1953, removing the democracy in Iran was the way to get the oil too.
Yes, it will. In fact, while it is an EU-project, there are also international partners involved in the project, such as China, India, Israel, Ukraine, South Korea, etc.

KDE4 is far from finished and not even really intended to be the successor for 3.5 yet.
