... It's just that no one has come up with a better language. If no one comes up with a better language, why reinvent the wheel?...
ActionScript3.0 anyone? As client side languages goes it's pretty solid. Fully object oriented and ECMA compliant.
If anyone hasn't used flash for a while, it's a whole other beast now. It's not an animation package with a scripting language slotted into the side any more.
The opening ceremony was a show. Shows, by definition, are fake. They aren't real.
Here's an example. We put on South Pacific recently. There is a scene where all the ceebees watch a plane leaving.
We put two lights on either end of a piece of wood, hung it from a wire(sloping right to left) and one of the stage crew pulled a piece of cotton attached to the wood.
In rehearsals it looked appalling. However in the show the stage lights were out (it was supposed to be night anyway) and we added the sound effect of a plane taking off.
People were blown away by the effect. They thought we had used a video of a plane taking off at night.
Luxury. We had 1 bit of memory with variable clock speed which could be hard-metal programmed.
We called it the light switch!
We managed to make a beowulf cluster of them though and built our own version of a BBC model B. Damn, 32k light switches took up a lot of room. And if you set the all the switched to 1, the room started melting.
Shouldn't it be Democrat politicians rather than Democratic politicians. After all, whatever your views on Republican politicians, aren't they Democrati...
... Millions of American taxpayer dollars have been spent gathering this priceless data that is totally unavailable in any other context...
Most space programs are internationally funded and carried out by universities of more than one country these days. Of course the data should be made available.
... I can guarantee you that any other nation's research programmes would not do this...
Companies can make any claim they want and only if someone challenges them, via trading standards, do they have to remove the claim from adverts/packets. They can remove it without any publicity. Just renew the packaging a little, quietly remove the false claim and add something like "brand new recipe". People don't notice and there is very little penalty for the company and it doesn't even have to go to court (at least in UK anyway).
All companies are required to limit their liability. Shareholders can take managers to court if they willfully reduce the value of the company's shares.
Keeping copyrighted material on your site, knowing you will be sued and almost certainly lose would surely come under the term willful.
Saying something like:
... [we] will fight for freedom of speech first, profits second...
That could also come under the term willful.
Also, companies can make any statement to their customers they like. They don't have to live by them. Their only nod they make to the customer is via the marketplace and a few trading standards costraints. If the customer stops buying, they change what they are doing.
... The International Olympic Committee filed a copyright infringement claim...
The video showed five white rings on a black background. The olympic rings have 4 specifically coloured rings and one black ring on a white background for a very particular reason
Surely you can't copyright 5 rings. Like one post said earlier, any chemical made of 5 benzene rings or even 5 sugar rings would violate the copyright.

Do you think they could give Gary Glitter one of those?
Hey this is slashdot you insensitive clod!
Each of us to a man (and woman) was picked last for sports.

A diary is not there to aid short term memory. It's there to aid long term memory.

My point was that Google shouldn't be pandering to the Chinese government's wishes like that.
I think you'll find that's the tagging beta input box. ;-)
google.cn doesn't display results that the chinese government don't like.
I noticed you had made a mistake. Don't worry though. I fixed it for ya!
Oops, yep my bad.
I think they are sub departments of the Ministries of War and Truth respectively.

Ah, I see your point.
Power lifting belts and such are actually more about stopping people getting hernias.
I get your funny in your post but it's hardly evolution, it's modifying our genes using drugs. No selection involved.
Some creationists post here and you might give them false ammunition.
So what exactly are we "ready" for and who decides?
