of blatant stealing enables. I, for one, wish the best to our putative overlords.
They may find that piling up the winnings "higher and deeper" doesn't necessarily deliver predictable results.
While i generally agree, the recent fiasco over collection of wifi networks information while doing the google mapping activity seems like a huge gaffe.
I completely agree. I have long tired of Americans whining about their own ability to exercise self-government. Sometimes we act as if a(n) alleged failure to make government "efficient" in the US is some sort of law of nature. And after the recent "market perfections" of Wall Street and the banks, they have real cohones condemning the USG as inefficient....
I'll take the (flame) bait. The U.S. policy to rebuild Western Europe after WW II was a good bet - and great card playing.
Other than that, I am at a loss for recent (i.e., the last 10 years) examples.
Seldom have I agreed so much with a post.
America, and Americans, have the right to expect that those who want the benefits of our citizenship will obey the basic requirements of legal citizenship. Insistence on this is not racism, xenophobia, or bigotry. It is a basic statement of the bargain you enter into when you choose to emigrate.
Those who violate that bargain in my mind forfeit the right to complain when their host society loses patience.

I was wondering when I was going to see the first Matrix reference -- sure, with a few billion bodies to spare this might be an interesting power source -- to some rogue AI....
I am not sure I understand your point. If the parents choose to pay their 20 year old daughter's phone bills, it is their business - not yours.
I think that the bill itself is enough "discipline". - That, and some information on "all you can eat" text plans for cell phones.
I would cut the cord, but my broadband internet access is delivered via dsl.
As this is quite a common situation (in the US and elsewhere) reports of the death of landline phones may be a little premature.
I believe you mean "morlock"-tipping point.
And speak for yourself. At 46 I am as tall, slim, attractive, creative and intelligent as I have ever been.
No, really....
Well, "Debian people", as you put it are not out to sell a product. They are perfectly happy to have you use another variant of linux if you don't find theirs suitable for your needs.
Debian has values that may be a little more "strict" than other distributions, but this is their right.
Freedom, recall, does not guarantee sameness. Nor should it.
Stand your ground Debian. But try to clean up the FF patches, please.

As another dvr owner from dish (625), I think that this is a moderate disaster. I am also concerned as to "how" dish is going to comply with the judgment. I will be watching for spontaneous disablement of my system over the next month.
I wonder if I can get my money back from dish for this -- yes, I *bought* my dvr, i didn't lease it (apparently unlike you)!
As I understand this, this service would be provided by Google. For free. Whatever your beef with the SF municipal government, this is an (apparently) cost free add on for city residents.
Sort of like a gift horse.
I might also add that you don't actually *have* to use it -- especially if it offends your politics.
Unsubstantiated *opinion*.
Maybe he should have labeled it opinion more clearly. Facts + Reasoned Judgment often lead to interesting opinions, but not always to new facts.
I would think that the new playstation psp would be perfect for this *software* application.
It is better looking than the hideous node device as well.
I agree with this. I assume an application exists that can translate a wireless ip address into gps coordinates/lat-long for the location-based services part.
That, or a GPS based pda might do the trick (Garmin, are you listening?)

Probably worth noting that the users seem to have resolved the problem (with uninstall guidance) for themselves ...
So, these people were diagnosed as psychopaths in advance ...
What grade did the 2PLA get?

Maybe it will be delivered using part of the new 700 Mhz spectrum that is supposed to be freed up.... Maybe
What guy? Please elaborate!

Your friend is lucky. A girlfriend with a good sense of direction is priceless. No. I am not joking.

You must be new around here. : )

Maybe if you made the effort to "look" for it, you might be able to make a more informed judgment.

I guess it is not too soon to ask who "cut the cheese" then? : )

You would think that Wikipedia would be able to fill the gap in fairly short order. Properly integrated, this thing could be fantastic.
