If an update bricked a phone and the owner died because even 911 wouldn't work, the carrier would be saddled with a slam-dunk loser case that would cost them at least $50 million dollars in settlements, fines, and legal fees.
If religious groups are fighting tooth and nail against a woman's right to sexual healthcare, you can imagine how much of the Internet they would want banned on public wifi. The blacklists would be longer than both of their works of fiction combined.
A state institution near town is plagued by staff shortages as the GOP government wants to shut it down or privatize it, driving off all the experienced staff and the new, lower-paid hires don't last as they're abused as well. They are forced to call folks at home who are off or work a different shift and beg them to come in early every day. Most staffers at least once a week are literally held hostage, not allowed to go home as there is no one to relieve them - even going over the 16 hour OSHA rule once in a while.
Now, this publicly funded State institution is hiding their caller ID as most staffers began to ignore calls from the truthful ID. Some of the schedulers are apparently using their own cell phones just to show a different number. How this is legal is beyond me, but then again, law in the US for the mere proles no longer exists.
It turns out most of the problem of radicalization lies with the second generation, ala Bin Laden. Your natural hatred of your parents while a teen quickly morphs into seeing them as nothing but ingratiating servants to the White Man, thus justifiying destruction of said Man and his culture.
Some reports in the Ubuntu bug tracker system report that such notebooks can not be recovered without replacing the main board.
Microsoft is not only guilty of attempted hardware monopoly, but also willfully contributing to the e-waste problem; given that it's a notebook, most folks won't even try to replace the board (and it should just be a replaceable chip, but NOT ALLOWED), but will just throw the whole thing away. Criminal waste due to criminal greed. The EU needs to get their butts in gear and stop this garbage cold.
State and Fed pens are always located far away from urban centers, placed in the rock-ribbed, salt of the earth, god-fearing bible-thumping heartland where the yokels with absolutely nothing in common with the inmates and don't really even see them as human.
Same thing with the military; just check the rosters to make sure no one in the units are from the targeted area.
Everyone complains about Gimp... and then does fuck-all to help improve it. I guess writing actual code can't compare to their halcyon student days of bootlegging Photoshop.

Just like the Rule of Law, colors don't mean anything anymore.
This garbage is more racist than the Google ad bias. 5 Insightful? Just when I think Slashdot is progressive...

I wonder if they just whistled the sound of a dialup modem.
Given that the US has enough nukes to melt the world twice, any large threat even before arriving will be getting quite the return visit.
I still occasionally wonder if Mecca is on the US doomsday nuke 'em all list...

In retrospect, a noble cause.

Can they develop a bigger patch to entirely cover the mouth of Jenny McCarthy? Permanently?

Most, if not all US combat helicopters are named after tribes.
What time's the invasion?
And I assume - just like Grenada - more medals will again be given out than were on D-Day.
I'm just surprised CBS let cnet write this article.
Is there really any difference left?

This is all about (and always has been about) driving down the cost of US knowledge workers to immigrant levels.
I wonder if the pennies on the dollar H-1B folk have un-forgiveable student loans in the five to six figure range?
