I don't believe they claimed to invent wifi but claimed to invent the algorithm which wifi uses to overcome the issue it had with severe packet loss, without this algorithm wifi would be next to useless.

Ummm..... The Coalition is the Liberals and the Nationals.

Developed countries don't need to enact such policies because policies such as women's rights and education can reduce birth rated without forcing people to have only one child. Forcing families to have only one child causes social problems it itself, ever herd of the little emperors or aborting girls resulting in a male dominated society? What we need to do is use our foreign aid to support education, especially among girls.

Instead of carrying keys around you would carry lockpicks? I think you would have the same issue.

I think Valve is more concerned with what comes next then what is happening now as Microsoft has the ability to completely take over the market, just as Steam did. Gamers like (almost) everyone else will buy from the cheapest source, few people choose their purchases based on business ethics.

That would require the whole kingdom to be the same religion. It would be hard to sit under a king who follows a different religion/god when his rationale is that god put him there.

Social networks are publishers and they do have a responsibility to adhere to laws in countries they operate in. Also it might be prudent to censor comments about Muhammad in Muslim countries. What good really comes of these comments?

In the late 1990s the High Court of Australia found that there was an implied right of free speech in relation to political or economic matters. So I would say we have freedom of speech where it really matters.

Well the Tesla does just under 300 Lb/Ft instantly. All we need is that battery capacity and a tow ball.

Regardless China will always cut costs where it can then lie through their teeth about it. Chinese cars recalled over asbestos concerns

You have missed my point. I'm describing a situation where I'm free to do what I want but I don't have the independence to do it in response to AC. Real freedom is making your own choices and having the ability to carry them out not taking care of yourself from the moment you are borne.

That's independence not freedom. If I'm sick and my mum takes care of me am I not free?

Fox's news is about excitement and outrage not information. I don't see any reason a live chase should be on a news channel while it is ongoing. I mean people die in gruesome ways from high speed car crashes, if you put enough on live TV you will see blood.

American allies are usually perfectly fine to defend themselves. I know one of the reasons for the ANZUS treaty was America was the only country that had the power to successfully attack Australia. If America did pull out of these countries there goes favorable negotiating conditions for trade and such, there goes safe sea lanes, there goes a safe oil supply, up will go the proliferation of weapons and with it tension and possibly war. I really think America gains a lot more selling weapons and pushing their laws on allies then what would be gained from a solely continental defence strategy.

I've always prefer AMD due to their low price point (I attribute my ability to buy my first computer to this). Would this matter for the regular consumer, if the salesman makes a better commission off of an Intel powered computer, wouldn't he always try to sell Intel first and talk down AMD.
