How can you possible be granted a patent for the removal of a function from an existing idea? Can I take away the headlights from a car and patent it as something new?

That is only a good choice if you are actually connecting to something. In most websites you are connected to the same server no matter what you do, and all the login does is to give you special permissions.

Seriously, what does it even mean!? What are they trying to convey by including "God" every time they mention it? That the theory was very important and hard to prove? In that case, might we be hearing about the "God string theory" or "Go

As you say, the laws aren't widely applied yet, and I hardly think britain has had a 50% cut in piracy. Buy hey, let's take my country (Sweden) as an example then. Digital sales went up a whopping 65% in 2011[0], and I can promise you that

CTRL+SHIFT+J (or CMD+ALT+J on Mac) brings up the Javascript Console, where you can paste the code directly. Also, "text/css" in the script should be replaced with "style/css" in order for it to work.

It might feel disingenuous, but an analogy does not always have to be perfectly aligned with reality (since, of course, it just an analogy). If the analogy is somewhat askew, but still suitable, just beginning it with "A _crude_ analogy wou
