It is when it works to discourage women who do not fit the stereotypes, and there are many who do not, from entering fields they could excel in. There are plenty of women who love math, science, computers etc. and aren't into nursing and making babies. The generalizations coming from the GP are only useful for mapping trends over an entire group and should not be used as a blanket way to treat all individuals.
Yes, they possess the license to exclusively use the spectrum. This sale was about broadcasters selling rights to use the unused parts of their licensed spectrum.
I don't get your point. A spectrum auction is where the FCC sells licenses to use bands of spectrum. I don't know where you got the false notion that these companies owned the spectrum itself.
They likely won't pay less. OEMs are paid to bundle crapware with their Windows PCs that subsidizes the price of the system. The claimed "tax" does not actually exist when the price of the PC is actually lower than it would be without Windows.
Why 128,000? It isn't a power of 2 and it doesn't translate into any special hex or binary value so why else would that number have any special meaning for a computer scientist?
It's a win-win in the short term, even though it's disastrous for the economy in the long term.
And yet not a single one of the minimum wage increases over the last decades has proven this out. In fact, it has been the opposite as those people have now had more money to spend to further the economy.
Amusing goalpost shifting. The claim was that there was a "high barrier to entry" which is plainly false as their entry-level Mac Mini is not much more than the very lowest-end i3 desktops from other companies. Also, the Mac Mini does have an i5 vs i3 which gives you a faster CPU and GPU. So you do get something for the "premium" of a whopping $100.
That's a pretty big premium for what seems like an intangible benefit.
Maybe so, but irrelevant to what I was being responded to. $499 is not a high barrier to entry. Unless one is going to claim that Dell's prices are a high barrier to entry when 31 of their 35 current desktops cost $499 or more as well.
You don't need 'a great deal of money' to get into OS X either as user or developer
How dare you bring silly things like facts into Apple bashing. Pay no attention to the fact that Apple has sold an entry-level Mac Mini for $499 for the last 9 years. Even Dell's lowest-end desktops only sell for $100 less.
Because they would have been shipped backed to India and lost the pay they were given. Or are you really ignorant enough to think they had any power in the relationship?

If there weren't laws in place forcing them to indemnify/limit the customer exposer against fraud, do you think they would bother?
I don't think any corporation would. Hence why strong consumer protections are a great thing.
But why should any expect that they will provide such a thing? Or are you just horribly naive?
Guess what, it is not.

Are you a frequent contributor? No? Okay, well shut the fuck up and let Bennett weigh in on this.

How does that follow from what you are responding to?
How does that work when you're off the LTE network, though
You have a CDMA radio in the phone as well. How else do you expect that it works?
Hopefully not ones from HID if you want any actual security.
Still, some big-name advocates of strong net neutrality rules also have limited transparency mechanisms in place.
And who exactly are they and where is your proof of their limited transparency mechanism? Do you have actual specifics or simply vague FUD?

I think you mean in the dessert.
Unfortunately he's too busy trying to come up with algorithms to solve the first-world problems of Burning Man.
Nope. First $499 Mac Mini was released in 2005.
Saying something you dislike does not make me a shill. I'm sorry that facts make you so angry.
So a 20% premium over a PC at the low end

You have to spend a great deal of money and have already swallowed all the Kool-Aid.
You've been able to buy an entry-level Mac Mini for $499 since 2005. That's only $100 more than Dell's lowest cost Inspiron.

BTW, that was agreeing with you Jared. The notion that it just needed "a bit of polish" is hilarious.
Diaspora needed more than a bit of polish,
That's an interesting euphemism for the fact that the code was horrendous from a security prospective.
So you're saying the UK doesn't already have laws against murder or manslaughter?
Why would that act in and off itself even remotely warrant life in prison?
