The British Empire is different to the Common Wealth which is different to the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom refers solely to the individual countries of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which are united by the British Monarchy. The Queen is still the head of state of multiple other countries in the world, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc.. She is referred to as the Queen of England, the Queen of Australia, etc. depending on the capacity she is acting in.

inflame writes "A new paper published in Nature has said that the proton may be smaller than we previously thought. The article states 'The difference is so infinitesimal that it might defy belief that anyone, even physicists, would care. But the new measurements could mean that there is a gap in existing theories of quantum mechanics. "It's a very serious discrepancy," says Ingo Sick, a physicist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, who has tried to reconcile the finding with four decades of previous measurements. "There is really something seriously wrong someplace."'

Um .... I don't think I said proprietary software was evil. I believe in choice, and if you do not have enough options, you have the free will to do something about it yourself, in this case, forking the software ... and changing the name.

Get over yourselves. The fact of the matter is, America holds a (stupidly) large position in the world. Not only politically, but culturally and economically.
Economically? Really? Have you read the news lately
