Why? The importance of shilling is to get the advertising out there. If you were to constantly give things 10/10 you would eventually just get filtered out as spam. A clever shill will be far more subtle.
Except it's not that great of a post. The entire basis of their conclusion is a false dilemma. Why would spammer use their own money to pay for the spam when they can just use someone else's money and identity to do so?
If spam doesn't generate enough money that it'd be worth paying a penny for, then criminals would just use the stolen credit card directly instead of paying for spam with it.
Or they could just be using the stolen credit cards because they want to keep all of the generated money for themselves. Why would you pay anything out at all when you can have someone else foot your bills while you keep all the money?
The only reason that TI does so well, is that schoolteachers are pretty much trained in on it and refuse to use newer technology.
And the simple fact that even an old TI-83 is plenty for a student to use. Buying new calculators because of "oooh shiny!" is a pointless expense and does nothing to help teach kids math.
Right, because a spammer would never contemplate buying an unlimited texting plan for 20-30/month or intentionally target devices that are likely to have these kinds of plans, right?
Even simpler. They can just use the SMS gateway for the cell phone company so they still pay nothing.
because if they were free then spammers would come in and clog up the data channel with constant texting.
Spammers can still clog up the data channel with constant texts for free if they want to now. It's called the SMS gateway which allows one to send SMS texts through email.
since you have to pay for incomming texts it's illegal to spam you via cell
Because spammers really care what the law says, right?
And nothing of value was lost to them. The only thing related to the PS3 that interests Sony is the selling of games, Blu-Rays and stuff from PSN. A bunch of basement dwellers installing Linux on their PS3 was an afterthought at best.
Otherwise it will assume the role its detractors have often accused of it; the COBOL of our day.
So it will be wildly successful with billions of lines of code still in use powering a ton of the infrastructure that modern-day business relies on?

Now of course there is the Interix product that adds a real useful POSIX layer (both API and userland), but this started as an expensive third party product that was bought out by MS. It was renamed to SFU and then SUA.
Yes and as I said, it has been supplied by Microsoft for over a decade. Since February 1999 to be exact.
It was formerly free to download but now it is only available bundled with the most expensive versions of Windows 7.
Formerly? I can go to this page and download it for free. Maybe you got confused by the "suggested registration" and assumed that meant it was no longer free?

Like the supposed POSIX compliance, this was more vapour than reality.
What do you mean "supposed"? Microsoft has supplied a POSIX layer for NT for over a decade.
England is simply the country of England. Great Britain is geographically the island that encompasses England and Scotland. Politically it can also include Wales as well. The UK is the inclusion of Great Britain, Wales, the many smaller isles around Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Right, and the patents on the basic uses of graphene will be useless because without the patent on graphene itself these companies won't be able to manufacture the stuff.
Which is completely wrong. If that were true, no one else would have been able to produce rubber after Charles Goodyear patented vulcanization. But this wasn't the case as other people just came up with their own way to manufacture it. Geim cannot just get a blanket patent on "graphene" but only on a specific manufacturing process or usage of it.
take a made-for-tv sitcom. it gets fully paid for (at least it had to in the old days) by BEING on tv that one time. any money over that is gravy. what do they do, now? they release that same content on dvd and charge you again.
Because making DVDs is completely free of any costs, right? They just snap their fingers and millions of DVDs just pop into existence.

Or you could just right click the selected text and hit "copy". It's really not that complicated.
For it to be a shill, yes.

Such a terrible summary its actually weird.
One word: sampenzus.
Considering how many people continue to send hundreds to thousands of dollars to scam artists on a daily basis, no.

Imagine if they had to pay a penny per spam sent. Spam would be largely gone tomorrow at that price.
No, they'd just use stolen credit cards to pay for the spam.

That's not gonna hold up if their implementation still falls under the Java patents.

Commercialism will prevail where governments subsidize all the upfront R&D and construction costs.. goodbye Nasa, Hello Virgin.
FTFY.
Duh. You make the unmodded posts start at 2!
You can't obtain a patent on a substance. You can only obtain patents on the manufacturing or some "novel" usage of the substance.

Patent term extensions.
Ideally, the newspaper should be reporting the news and not endorsing anybody.
Except when it's in the editorial section where this endorsement happens?
It's not kdawson which means it could have been far worse than what we got here.
Exactly. Whats from stopping an ISP from simply cutting you off because you were using too much bandwidth, stating that you are infected?
Nothing. Just like nothing is stopping them from doing it now.
