I just moved and kicked Comcast to the curb. They called me up every day until I turned my cable modem in and wailed and wringed their hands and tore their hair out trying to get me to transfer service. No matter what they'd say, I could retort, "Getting FIOS: twice the speed for half the price." Then they'd try again to tell me what a mistake I was making by cancelling my established relationship for that "experimental" fiber optic technology. "Twice the speed for half the price," came my rebuttal. They never did catch a clue until I finally said, "This conversation's over. ".
Man, I'm tempted to sign up for Comcast again just so I can dump their sorry asses all over again.
Can't speak to all of the points you made, but they do go into more detail about "free to play" in the FAQ. They mean that every game must include some free content.
Well, if it was in a blog, it must be true. Why would someone go through the trouble of publishing something on the Internet without completely vetting the story?
Because we'd like to be able to play the games without waiting 10 years for the development to finish. If there are engineering trade-offs to be made in game dev, please opt for "fun" over "realistic", Devs.
The idea that bad things will happen to you because you didn't love Jesus enough is an extremely immature view of religion. I would hope you'd have grown out of that by the the time you were 8 or so. An adult view of religion is not nearly as cut and dried as push-button-receive-bacon. It's much less about instant karma and much more about interest in ones place in the universe.
This page contains numerous internet lies, the primary one being the fake quotes about Lincoln not being Christian and denying the bible. The only sources for that quote are pages like this one. There are no credible sources for most of the crap on this page except other angry anti-Christian web pages. It's like a circle of perpetual, meaningless crap that endures through the sheer fury of those slinging it.
And the funny thing is that most people who write const char* foo really want char const * const foo. You don't want either the pointer or the data pointed at to change. However, almost nobody knows that, so even those who do just use the weaker const char* so people understand the code.
Hmm. I wonder why there's so much animosity towards C? It's a mystery.
Perhaps I should give these Nexus devices a shot? I'd given up on Android after trying a Motorola Droid, Droid X, and Xperia Play after seeing the same bugs not getting fixed update after update. It felt like Linux on the desktop, with new gee-whiz features being added, but nobody fixing the niggling annoyances that I dealt with every day.
Clever wording there. Yes, you could say bitcoin "has seen high-profile hacks," but you couldn't say that bitcoin has been hacked.
You can argue semantics all day. The fact is: the bitcoin system was hacked, and even though the cryptographic integrity of the system was not compromised, the value of the bitcoin was affected adversely. It was hacked.
It is a hack, although not one that might be as clever as you'd like. It's as much a hack as putting tape over a dollar bill, feeding it into a vending machine and ripping it back out. It is a hack that devalues the currency.
What's wrong with taxing stupid people for acting stupid on the roads? You don't want to pay the tax, quit driving like a moron. Problem solved. Too much for you?

Priests folking children. Folk music is frowned upon, except by the Franciscan Order.

Just like that other scam the XBox 360.

We just need to stop keeping gas prices artificially low. At that point this car vs. truck vs. SUV crap will all work itself out.
Slow news day.

Religion means that instead of developing, nurturing and above all understanding your own moral code, you let someone else spoon-feed you one.
1st world problems.

Good example! Yeah, we Christians HATE Canaanites! Hittites SUCK! This is totally exactly the same thing!
I call Shenanigans. Galileo is the obvious counterexample.
Galileo was a dick, that's why he was persecuted. Read about it.
Has anybody else seen it, know where it can be found on the interweb?
Can it be found on the interweb? I'm sure someone's already made porn out of it.
It's in Europe, they don't use toilet paper. True story.
They would have found it years ago if they had configured their window manager properly. RTFM next time.
When I drink that much coffee I can understand Spanish.
Terrible analogy. How are you supposed to sell Higgs Boson's on eBay?
But I don't think that this will cause new ways to blow things up - you may need something bigger than the CERN accelerator to make things happen.
Pessimists never blew anything up worth blowing up.
I'd tend to believe that the C guys have more experience than the Java guys. Could this possibly have anything to do with their relative capabilities?

I just saw a rack of prepaid debit cards at 7-11. If you can't get one, you're hopeless.
