It's obvious to me -- in that it trips my bullshit meter -- that posting a sign at the Circle K on the corner that says, "Sorry, no homos." is wrong - deeply wrong - but I can't make a logical argument against the business that doesn't get into businesses being dependent on roads and police and fire and other government services, and as such, the government can make rules that force you to cater to your enemies.

So unless Apple wants to end up dropping lawsuits against Samsung, it has to refrain from making an iDroid.

Antiparticles have the same mass as their particle counterparts. We haven't actually found anything with negative mass yet, and only have the hypothetical tachyon in that category.

I thought that if you don't assert your patent from day one, then you can't cry foul later on. How long have they been sitting on this thing, only to turn around and start suing everyone after the process became wide spread.

No one is saying that no one should try to get to Mars.
