Not a translation error per se, but something akin. Appartently someone at the Swedish property management company Locum came up with the idea to turn the 'o' in to a heart, to make the logo look trendy. The 'L' in the logo being lowercase, the logo read
I [heart] cum
Now, now, let's not be hasty. What sorta "properties" did the company manage?
Would it be possible for Slashdot to have two sections? One for discussion of topics, that present conclusions based upon stated facts and assumptions. And a second section for free expression of angst, like 'Bill Gates is the Borg-Devil' or 'I want to have Steve Jobs iBaby!'.
Also, if the government is screwing up this badly already, what makes you think adding *MORE* government is going to help anything? Has that ever worked?
This line is getting older than "in Soviet Russia" and a whole lot less funny than "fristy piss" (or whatever it is these days).
Yes, monopolies are overall not good, but not everything bad they do is *caused* by them being a monopoly. That's just a stupid position to take.
From the consumer's perspective, it wouldn't be much of a problem if Verizon wasn't a monopoly, because he could have told them to bug off and go elsewhere. Follow the causal chain - the main problem boils down to Verizon being a monopoly, and yours is a pedantic position.
...Stop with the whole Iphones are lame thing. The Iphone is the by far has best phone interface on the market. You cant argue that. If you have not seen it don't even atempt to. If you have you can't say that Nokia or Motorola or RIM is better. Why? Cuz they all suck....
You and the ones that modded "insightful" should all go and form another country or something (AQ II?). Stop butting in other country's bizwax - we've got plenty problems as it is and we don't need your ilk causing more problems for us.
I, too, think the analogy of internet as tubes that can fill up (limited bandwidth) isn't so bad. The things that came afterward (policy derivation), I'm lost how it went there. We are making fun of the wrong part of his speech, I think.
Internet service is a free market with lots of competition -- at least right now. There are currently more than 4,000 independent ISPs in the United States
Free? How many of those independent ISPs can provide service without local telco/cable monopolies forced - by regulation - to allow access to them?
Regulation that cripples independent ISPs by destroying their quality of service, raising their costs and prices, and preventing them from innovating would kill them. And that's exactly what the so-called "neutrality" regulation proposed by the lobbyists -- which isn't actually "neutral" at all -- would do.
What part of "the so-called neutrality regulation" prevent them from innovating? This isn't a rhetorical question. Help us out here.
Yeah, it's one of those troll "debates", but I think this produces some useful artifacts - more interest and info on solar energy.
I do love the esthetic of solar energy - it's as direct as you can get, no baking in earth crust for gazillion years (fossil), no convoluted process involving atmosphere and water (hydro/wind/wave). And being electric/material tech, I get the sense we should be able to scale it up. Of course, I say this without knowing the nitty/gritty of the current solar tech.

I was actually trolling...
This is good news for Mac mini and MacBook users. But I can't stand them.
Your pedantry is that of semantic hair-splitting that misses the forest for the tree, and wrong.

And I want peace on earth. And $100M.
Ok, forget the peace bit.
Both ours and Israelis. :-)
"Hideyoshi"... would you be hailing from the democratic island state of LDP*?
*That's the party holding power more/less continuously since post-WW II Japan.

Sounds bit unbalanced to me... Either go get a degree and get it out of your system, or just forget about it and learn to ignore it.

But then, chemists are no physicist, either. ;-)
Lame. ;-)
There is no "us" without "them". If not nation, it'll be religion, ethnicity, tribe, class, occupation, favorite color, etc.
Pah, you were in a philosophy class where anything and everything is debatable.
I'd believe it if China can do it. If anyone can cook up super cheap electronic, it'll be them. India doesn't have the manufacturing expertise.

Listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about - look at his handle.
See?! We have no chance. We suck.
I've read some of his posts in this story. Who is this guy?

We'll lose to Brits.

Nope, I ain't touching that with my 12" pole... something like that.
NERD!!
