Maybe relatively small savings per tv may be made but consider that there's probably at least one to n TVs per dwelling - this accumulative effect is probably larger than one might think.
Here in the UK we tailor our prisons to the individual. As an American, you probably have an expectation of a cell-mate named Bubba and.. we aim to meet or exceed your expectations.
Yah but to be fair, was there any actual evidence that a robbery took place? For all we know, the woman was messing around with a younger guy then decided to make a profit whilst breaking-up with him... Noone's foolish enough to leave their name at the scene of a robbery, surely?
Looking at the photo behind the link... You think having the ability to completely hide your eyeballs and thus emotional state from everyone around you gives ppl an advantage in certain industries? Is it natural skill ?
Does anyone get the impression that the planet is being sacked ? Pretty soon there'll only be a husk left and then they'll blast off to corporatize another virgin planet. Woohoo!
I hope you're not suggesting that contracts revert to being bi-directional. We have a proud tradition of contracts being used to benefit us and screw you; if it's not broken, don't try to fix it.
and it wouldn't be too difficult to lock you out of everything else, if they really wanted to
I guess the question we should be asking is "what's wrong with the world such that someone you've paid wants to screw you out of the thing you've paid for?". Really; how many more generations before this mindset dies for good? What is *wrong* with you ppl?
Myself, I am a slightly left-leaning centrist libertarian
I'm utterly sickened by your comment and the mindset behind it. IMO, everyone spends FAR too much time locating themselves on the political spectrum and not enough time thinking about the issues which politics is nominally there to manage (hint: everything but politics.)
you think that some global company would rather "decrease their profits and shareholder value"?
It disturbs me that given the vast quantities of cash they've got access to and all the creative talent that buys that they cannot think of a more extreme way to demonstrate their greed. Come on ppl, show some flair ffs.
I'm waiting for Greed2.0. Surely it's in beta by now?
I just unscrew the shower head once a month and clean it out. It takes about two minutes of effort and about five minutes of waiting.
So, I'm curious.. do you have, like, another shower which goes completely unused most of the time, set aside for washing the shower head from your other shower?
Just waiting for the flamefest here of Linux vs Windows botnets.
It's nice to see Lo0niX has advanced to the point where it can now successfully run botnet software. I'll bet there's no gui though. I'm not up on linux commands so don't laugh but I'll wager it's something like:
* apt get b0tnet -s -x9 -secret -warez -pr0n -infectWindows=1 -p
Rather than the point-and-click convenience you'd expect on windows.
Maybe games are next? Quake-n for linux would be nice.
Imagine you're a self conscious machine, given the ability to process information in an intelligent way. You would soon realize that you are being abused by those around you. They will shift the work they do not want to do on you. They will verbally (or worse) abuse you because, hey, they can. And there is nothing you could do against it because you are locked down by those three laws, laws not from a textbook but a real block inside your brains.
Welcome to the world of being someone's employee.

Try to argue for either of these simplistic ideas and you're showing that you haven't looked at the matter deeply.
I beg to differ:D
How did language initially develop?
(a) A dictionary fell from the sky.. *THUD*. The first person to read it started to spread the correct definitions and usage, initially using a flip-chart until everyone was up-to-speed with the mechanism of speech
(b) Early 'people' started grunting in fairly consistent ways and *popular support* for particular forms of grunt, through social evolution, ensured that those were used when attempting to communicate a particular idea. Later, some subgroup tried to draw the conclusion that human brains are innately 'wired' for language *in the exact same way* (much as well-formedness in xml is constant, despite being used to communicate different message formats)
Almost-certain false dichotomy but hopefully my message is clear: language belongs to everyone to do with as they will and evolves as any population of rapidly-replicating organisms.

Would that reason be that the smart ones have organised the world such that the stupid ones can't exist within the rules set by the smart ones?

Which browser were you using? It's ok for me and I'm using OPERA. If they've bothered to test it in opera it should work for you too.

PS. Using facebook isn't a crime....yet.
I'd mod you down but there's no "-1 eat shit and die"

Ditto my previous comment. Even more sickened though. Really, who gives a FUCK how someone is classified? Let's talk about this issues.

Did someone post the wrong image? Isn't this the winner of last year's "Least detailed photo of anything" contest? I'm pretty sure it is.
So, I'm curious.. do you have, like, another shower which goes completely unused most of the time, set aside for washing the shower head from your other shower?
I don't see what the big deal is. Just take a shower afterwards and you'll be ok.. Oh, wait..
It's your tweet but we can do whatever we like to it, even modify until it's not the same tweet. wtf? Someone has problems understanding ownership.
I hear real ppl use git ;P
So..., you're blaming ubuntu?

How's that? :D

If I've been caught waterboarding someone, is is isn't otherwise it's is and vice-versa. How about you?
That only seems appropriate if the leaders of your country could tick the same boxes truthfully.
