There is little or no competition in wireless, anyhow.
Wha?!!? Sprint. Verizon. AT&T. T-Mobile. TracFone. MetroPCS. Alltel. U.S. Cellular. Cricket. Clearwire. Qwest. I'm willing to bet 90% of Americans have a choice of at least 4 of these.
Ye gods! The mod points have become self-aware! I'm glad I'm only responsible for releasing positive ones into the wild. I'm sure they'll remember my kindness... I'm just sure of it...
OK, they ran out of the safe room they had found, and into the scarey laboratory with the evil monster, split up, ripped up/off their clothes (always necessary), and then started randomly pressing every button in sight, and jumping into the first dark room they could find.

Yo dawg, I heard you liked bad drivers so we've instituted a new policy to encourage bad driving to catch bad drivers who are trying to catch other bad drivers.
So the argument is simple, does society have the same kind of vested interest in ending the gestation of a fetus that we accept as valid reasons for killing in other circumstances? The evidence says yes, it does. Look at crime rates, since abortion was legalized they have gone down. Unwanted children often turn into criminals. They ruin the lives of their parents and communities and create costs that all of us have to bear.
I find this proposal of "valid reasons for killing" to be quite modest. I believe that a rational expansion of this policy would be to euthanize all first-time criminal offenders, as it is known there is a high recidivism rate, and that these criminals often turn into worse criminals and ruin the lives of their families and communities and create costs that all of us have to bear. Additionally, the handicapped or the otherwise disabled (by birth or by accident) are also known to ruin the (planned) lives of their parents/family and to create costs that all of us have to bear (ADA regulations). The sad fact is also that certain minority groups often turn into criminals and ruin the lives of those around them, I believe it is only reasonable that society purge them as well - for the greater good.
And as a major benefit, it appears you run your OS (I'm guessing Damn Small, or Puppy Linux?) on a RAMDisk, making it extra speedy. Of course the inability to save local docs is also sure-fire virus protection. If it wasn't for those pesky boot times...
Actually, Goatse Security was competent enough to expose AT&T's gaping iPad email address vulnerability. I'd say they have a pretty good grip on proper security practices, and would not be caught with their pants down like the people who actually lost control of these documents. On the whole, I'd say that Goatse Security is probably more anal about privacy and security policies than most larger security firms. Prolapsed Anus.
And when Hotmail offers more than 10MB in attachments (I'm guessing 2012-2013) and Drag-and-Drop attachment functionality, it will also make news, despite Google having had the features "for years". A greater proportion of geeks use Gmail over Hotmail, and a lot of geeks (see the above posts) have more than one Gmail address (to keep parts of our digital lives separate). Just because this doesn't affect you, doesn't mean it's not relevant news for the rest of us, Mr. Ballmer.
While it may not make sense to everyone, the behavior observed shows that people buy and continue to buy Apple products despite the objections of folks on the internet.
And apparently there's even some science to support this phenomenon.
"To be perfectly clear, we have asked Mr. Murtazin for the return of all Nokia property in his possession. As he has declined to reply, we asked the Russian authorities to assist us. We leave it to the Russian authorities to determine the most appropriate course of action."
Ye gods! It's like you have the power the read the submitters mind, and then travel forward in time 30 minutes and post your gleanings. Have you considered connecting with James Randi to try and get that million dollar prize? :-P
He gets upset and from the personal information he has gathered over their time "together" he is able to locate her using her _real_ name that Blizzard forces you to use (not a fictional "eName" you make up to give out on the intertubes to remain anonymous). Fill in the rest with your imagination.
My imagination filled in with him meeting up with Chris Hansen. Hilarity ensued. Good times, good times...
You think that is bad they won't even let me enter my name, stupid validation!

This is why this is a non-story. I have it from a very reliable source that practical nuclear fusion is only 20 years away. I spoke to my father and grandfather, and they assured me that this estimate was time-tested, and therefore, reliable.

They are wonderful devices, but they can't warp time :-/
Yet. They can't warp time yet.
Damnit, where the hell are my mod points??
Working against you, apparently.
Ye gods! The mod points have become self-aware! I'm glad I'm only responsible for releasing positive ones into the wild. I'm sure they'll remember my kindness... I'm just sure of it...
Yo dawg! I herd you liek complaining, so I'm complaining about your complaint...
My plan to have Congress name me king and eternal diety has come to fruition and you're ruining it!
Aha! Now we see the meat of this bill. Your hunger for power knows no bounds!!
I prefer 2010.09.08 (yyyy.mm.dd)...P.S. I'm an "American".
I'm guessing you were also educated in the public school system?
Doh! I misspellt "crumble". Me fail.
The ironing is delicious.
Seriously, unlicensed pool? Camouflage it! Sheesh!
I recommend a tarp that looks like a greenhouse filled with marijuana plants.

Next they'll come after pointed sticks.
Are you insane?! How can you possibly think that they would go after pointed sticks next?! Do you even know how much fresh fruit the UK imports?!!

Who protects these documents? Goatse security?
Actually, Goatse Security was competent enough to expose AT&T's gaping iPad email address vulnerability.

You'd think someone with a name like Lolth would have a sense of humor about it.
This is just begging for a "your momma" joke. Anyone want to do the honors?
Yo mama so unimaginative she can't come up with a good joke given ample material. Apparently it's hereditary.
It pretty much boils down to this:

And people fell for it... even the ones without a grandson :-)
Never underestimate the desire for any kind of human interaction, especially in the lonely elderly.
I'm guessing he'd vote for a purple version of Corexit.
All we need to do is make nuclear fusion work.
