Pennsylvania has got to be a forerunner in all of this. The state run/subsidized colleges seem to have a heavy preference to those with a fatter check. Then again, why shouldn't they be? Those same kids are also eligible for more grants and by adding minorities and foreign students to their undergraduate portfolio the college can get additional state and federal funding. At the same time the "higher" tuition those kids pay for a heavily paid for by some group other than the actual student.
I say we let them merge, then bust AT&T up again into 7 little companies to see who gobbles who up. The prices for competition will be good for about 5 - 6 years and we will all get to see some good commercials and not to mention some really cool logos! It's the new way of entertaining the rich and the poor can sit helplessly while they are brainwashed into believing one company is actually better than another...
Maybe they should just be assigned an accountant to help them INVEST their money made at their peak. If they didn't make enough, then yes, get a job. It's rather sad that you can do nothing in life and complain about it, then have people sympathize with you about it to the point of giving you a larger allowance to do nothing.
In real life terms, I believe this is more of our society (US) believing that there is real value in servicing and IP than there is in actually creating new tools that will continue humanities march into the future. We seem to be at a point where only profits are motives, actual research is put on the backburner because it is very difficult to prove it's profit value in the NEAR future. So in terms of educating society and our youth, it's as if there is a "satisfaction" that we can maintain our livelihood at the current pace without actually pursuing anything endearing to us.
How do you think most VOIP connections cross over the oceans? Not all traffic crosses the trans-ocean underwater cables. A lot of it is still through satellite feeds, which is why VOIP to any other country usually has a two sometimes three second delay.
Subsequent it ruled that all software patents were inherently invalid based on the true meaning of innovation and not common sense. It also laughed at the Disney Law creating the first true emotion ever by an AI being.
While I am not against their intentions of trying to open up the government-corporation love affair, this will only result in the creation of stupid legislature where everyone is forced to present an ID on the internet. Of course, those that want to get around this will, the same way all ID-thieves work, steal some other persons information.
Would this not also include Blizzard and their new way of updating/downloading games? They would seem to have far more wealth to go after than either of the two torrent providers.
I agree completely your statement. This is why I won't "upgrade," if you call it that, to 4.x for FF. I'm on 3.6 and don't see any good reason for me to switch. If I could, I would gladly go back to 2.c which was far faster and easier to use. I can't see how using Chrome or the latest version of FF makes it easier for you to do any productive work. Seems like it is all being based on the social media factor. Ha.
It's not sad to see this happening considering their reputation for the past 10 years. You cannot continually screw your revenue sources and expect to remain on top of the pyramid. Eventually it will all fallout from underneath you, one way or another.

Yeah that was an ugly mistake. Guess that shows just how well I took in PSU's lectures and studies...ha

Looks like someone forgot to zero the clocks...

I'd RTFA but I'm limited on time. Could you quote this from the bill?

I have to agree with you. The East Coast hasn't heard about any of these incidents and as far as I can tell the issue is moot.
Is your space key completely broken? Or do you just hate doing as everyone does.
Prove that it won't, while concluding that it in fact has.
I guess that's not as cool as a cyber-orgy
Translation Please! Haha!

Only a complete pussy would post as an Anonymous Coward when they have something meaningful to say.
The most informative show for kids these days.

Sounds like someone with the incredible powers of learning and studying.
