The hood is part of the structural strength of the vehicle.

This may be true of some automobiles, but it's certainly not true of them all - many auto hoods now are the equivalent of tin-foil with more thickness of paint on them than metal in them... On my car (Honda S2000) you can make a significant shallow depression in the hood, depressing it only with the strength in your smallest finger...

The fact is, there's a lot more to dieting than simply reducing your calorific intake and exercising regularly.

ACTUALLY, there isn't.

Can we stop perpetuating this please - it is *that* simple, and if anyone tells you otherwise, they're either ignorant, or trying to make money out of the people who are ignorant to this fact.

Old office formats (Word Perfect, Lotus etc) got by just fine without programmability so why do modern formats need it?

Horses used to canter just fine without internal combustion, why do we need it?

It is certainly not the business of a private to determine what type of classified information should or should not be distributed.

A long time ago, it was expected that all military personnel should follow orders, rules and regulations, and that they would not be held accountable for their actions while doing so.

Then, as a species, we grew up a little, and a number of events including Nuremberg helped us to realise that this was not a healthy attitude.

Now, in 2012 many people still believe it is "right" to lie about and cover up the killing of innocent people. I hope, as a species, we will continue to grow and to understand that this is unacceptable. When it comes to the murder of non-military personnel, being part of such a cover-up should be regarded as an abuse of human rights (it is, after all, a conspiracy to hide a crime against humanity) and military personnel *should* have whistleblower rights, in a limited range of circumstances.

Perhaps they have a 14-day test and release cycle? And as such for any changes to the site to go through editorial and any content QA processes they might have, it might need 14 days (as a minimum) to go-live?

A bit like ordering someone to change something in a magazine and reprint a new version of it. Sure they could typeset it immediately after leaving court and pay a million bucks to have the printers' staff come in at midnight to set some plates and do a print run - but is it reasonable for the court to expect them to do that, rather than follow the normal publication process?

It will be for tracking purposes, so that the site owners knows who has clicked on which external links, and from which pages on their site.

I'm not saying it's a marvel of engineering, but it's a common request from marketers.

I just wanted to take a second out of my day, to say thank you to Google. To anyone who works there, who can influence Google, who knows an employee - please pass on my personal thanks for this staunch defence of free speech, in the face of what is probably the single most intimidating anti-free-speech group and protest the world has seen in my lifetime.

What you are doing is very worthy - and really stands to highlight the "Do No Evil" motto that Google is famous for, but that some people have (rightly or wrongly) started to bring into question recently.

Media providers must take their place in the defence of free speech - in the days of investigative journalism they actually tended to be more aggressive about this - and Youtube and other similar providers are absolutely vital in allowing the discourse and social interaction that we need as a community to grow and become better people.

Thank You,

I think "direct" does not mean what you think it means.

I think that's what the public wants the mayor to do.

If the public wanted that, they would either buy smaller drinks, or drink less of the drink... the fact that they're not would indicate they DON'T want the mayor to do anything...

You could ask the same about the US - in many areas of the US aquifers are being drained far, far faster than they are being replenished...

People (employees) pay income tax, not companies/corporations.

Taxes on profits are nearly always "Corporation Tax" which is not an income tax. Income taxes (22% for most of most peoples income above a certain threshold) are paid by the individual, but it is usually taxed "at source" so the company pays it to HMRC before the employee receives the payment making it appears as if the company pays it...

If they are not paying "Income Tax" on the wages paid to their employees, they are in MAJOR trouble as are their employees, who will be liable to pay the tax, even though the company avoided it. The article, though, talks about them not paying CORPORATION tax - a whole different matter.

I don't know why Slashdot chose to use the phrase "Income Tax" in the title, which makes this highly confusing...

Dear $publisher$ I will not be buying your new game, $title$, because it requires me to be connected to the internet in order to play it. A significant amount of my gaming time is spent on planes and trains, and in the outhouse while visiting family - during none of which I would be able to play your game.

This is a shame, as I would like to play it in order to take part in the inevitable conversations with my friends regarding the game, who will all have download a warez copy around 48 before your game hits the store shelves I won't be buying it from.

Yours,

Russ

Given that we have 38 of them every year, this might not be feasible...

But all that money that "family guys" are spending - that's ALSO on products for which advertisers want to target you. The new 4x4, mortgage, insurance, family holidays, cleaning products, kids toys etc. etc.

Those are all products that get advertised heavily too, so the theory that "gays have more discretionary spend" doesn't necessarily lead to "gays are worth more per click".
