You don't buy songs with music subscriptions, you pay to listen to songs, the same way you pay your cable company to watch television. In this case, making backups so you can listen once you terminate your service is really abusing the system.
Which is exactly why Sony lost that case against Universal and VCRs and all other recording devices were outlawed.
How did the GP say anything like that? In the case of radio, the listeners are the product. The advertisers pay the stations so that people will hear their ads and potentially buy what they're selling. The stations are (potentially) selling your time.
For that matter, a surprising fact is that for holders of concealed-carry licenses, the rate of use for those concealed firearms in committing crimes is zero over the last fifteen years. They've proved they know how to use their weapons properly; let them carry aboard, as well.
I'm with you on the first two, but this one's just begging for something to happen. It may be zero now, but what about when a few people get a concealed-carry license solely for the purpose of taking over a plane? That'll either mean a hostage situation because only those people wanted to go through the trouble of carrying guns on the plant or one hell of a gunfight on a plane stuffed with people (especially problematic in the cheaper sections) because damn-near everyone was carrying something.

Are you kidding? About the only differences in size come from buying a nice video card instead of using onboard video or a low-profile card, and having more hard drives. Regardless, it's nice to have the room to expand and good airflow that come from having a needlessly large case.
And you're saying that it wouldn't be possible to make an office suite that focused on efficiency? As I recall, there weren't any problems running with a 300MHz P2 just a decade ago. It wouldn't necessarily be less functional, just less shiny and a bit slower. I'm sure there'd be quite a market for it if people actually noticed these $200 machines floating around.
If there's anything like that to be implemented in future versions, you can certainly bet that people will be switching clients in droves. It's not like it's a massive step. A month or two (assuming everyone magically switched at once) and all of the popular stuff would be back. People were going back in forth practically every other week between networks just a few years ago and there's nothing stopping that now.
Regardless, it's no reason to leave the problem alone and screw over the user for the fault of someone else (whoever that may be). Surely it wouldn't be too hard to count cycles and automatically disable APM (and maybe show an explanation for disabling it) if too many load cycles occur in a set period of time.
Celebrity Jeopardy comes to mind. But who knows? Maybe asking about something with a single answer will end up making the candidates look good. I don't see any real point in this, myself. I wouldn't care if the president was as dumb as a sack of hammers if he acted in the best interests of the masses and payed attention to what people want.
Actually, according to TFA, networks can indeed be made using a series of tubes.
But the new material could also find applications in the area of hi-tech "smart" clothing, bomb-proof refuse bins, flexible solar panels, and, eventually, as a replacement for copper wire in transmitting electrical power and signals.
I could really see a use for such a resilient material in the more earthquake-prone areas, as opposed to fiber which would probably snap in a lot of situations.
couldn't get a proper job...get millions for jumping up and down like a monkey
Pardon, but that not only sounds like a 'proper' job, but a very desirable one at that. If you mean betterment of society, rather than of oneself, then think about all of the people out there with flat nothing to do between work and sleep.
I can't see how this was modded 'redundant'; it's not like it was asked before in this thread. It's a legitimate question. Moving on, I'd assume both ends of the spectrum are somewhat screwed up, though I'd rather be on the lawn of my burning house with a stupid grin on my face than spend my life worrying about the next day.
Perhaps it could change the orbit of each piece of crap - into a decaying orbit?
But don't most if not all satellites have rockets to prevent that? Wouldn't it make more sense to just use said rockets to nudge the satellite down to burn away?
That awfuly sounds like security through obscurity, but then again what form of security isn't.
'Security through obscurity' doesn't refer to hiding data, but rather hiding the means by which the data was hidden.
What you are saying also reminds me of "It's not a bug, it's a feature" syndrome.
It may not be a good idea for covering an office building or school, but it's perfect for personal use if you only care about one room and you worry moocher trying to break into your network. Apartment complexes come to mind as one of the places to use this. Provided the '100 times faster' boast holds up, I can't see anything wrong with this for personal use.
Surely there's nothing wrong with providing basic functionality out of the box? Besides, how many ways are there to download Firefox without opening IE (on a fresh Windows installation)?
We'll just get ISP's to block all MP3's by proving that when attached to emails, MP3 files can only be spam or terrorist activities. Once we have that filtering in place, the 'people' will be happy that we are protecting them from the evils of copyright terroristas.
Well good on 'em! It's about time we all moved to FLAC, anyway.
Curious, does that mean 20,000, or is it just redundant moonspeak? I've heard people say things like 'a thousand million', but never for such small numbers.

Well of course! Think of the racist corpses and how they feel about it.

Even better! You can get a $50 refund for Vista and only end up spending ~$250 for it all.

Mine goes to 11.

Unsurprisingly, it appears to be taken, and by a Facebook alternative.

Or you could just avoid buying it in the first place. (Really, it's quite a slap in the face to deal with ads in something you paid for.)

Only with a Model-M.
