It takes an author years of their life to arrange the words in such a way as to bring entertainment value to you in the form of a book. But, because of this new technology that makes copying that arrangement effortless they don't deserve to get paid for years of work? How would you suggest they monetize a text file enough to allow them to live off of it? Or should all book authors do so on a hobby basis only now?
I'll correct you on that one. Sticking to the BoR, they love the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 10th. The liberals love the 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th, and 9th. I like them all and think they both can go to hell (conservatives for pushing their flavor of morals on everyone; liberals for their bleeding-heart programs and political correct bullshit; both for expanding the government to extreme levels, cronyism, and corruption).
What's wrong with softcore porn sites? I mean, might as well do it right and go hardcore, but they're working with what they can get away with in the US TV market...:D
X was included after much user bash...err, training. I was tired of "I was working and an error popped up." A few finally got it after many requests and will include what program, what window, what data in the window (or record ID), and what they did just before the red 'X' showed up. The rest I pull from the system-generated error report.
Same. You can only get so many "I clicked X and an error popped up" bug reports with no information beyond that quote in the bug body before you look to a real solution.
Given all it takes is someone to claim "my former significant other scares me and is a threat to my well being" for a judge to issue one and they instantly restrict one's freedom of speech, freedom of travel, and the right to keep and bear arms until otherwise contested (which may be days) they are already a serious threat to freedom. In some locations all it takes is a verbal argument and for one participant to call the cops, regardless of who started it or the facts of the case; only claims made matter.
You're assuming other civilizations have overcome the leash holding them to their flying rock. For all we know there's another world just as screwed up as ours with another civilization just as stuck as we are.
You underestimate the level of "don't give a shit" and "I can do what I want" held by most judges. They can and would order the IP blocked just to make sure their orders were followed; other users be damned.
Except you have to establish PC BEFORE the search. The "inventory" excuse is BS. I've had the same thing happen to me. They found nothing after tearing my truck apart and mysteriously decided I wasn't a threat and therefore weren't going to arrest me after all (negating the need for an inventory).
And they were "assault weapons" how? Were the fire-select switches visible with an "auto" position? An AR or AK is not an assault weapon unless it has an auto or burst mode. They're no different than a damn hunting rifle with a different case. If I put an Arduino board in a Mac case, can I call it a Mac?
This is funny because I was polled about a new motorcycle using drive-by-wire throttles and computer-controlled ABS brakes. I answered in the negative as well, for the same reason (car locks up wheels and you spin, bike locks wheels and you're screwed).
Interstate commerce. Not commerce in general. It has been abused by claiming that intrastate commerce affects interstate commerce (and thus the Feds can control anything they like), but that's no more constitutional just unchallenged.
Law also says a tomato is a vegetable and not a fruit. Mainly because at one point vegetables were taxed at a higher rate and the more plants classified as veggies, the better for the government. Also not a logical precedent.
Because something coming from an administration of the US government on a very US-centric website won't be in one of about 4 time zones. Something coming from CERN or EU in general is in about 5 time zones. If the event is important enough, it's fairly easy to find out which of those time zones it applies to.
What do you do for a living? What if I told you that you weren't allowed to make a profit? No extras, just a "living" wage. No bonuses, no benefits. How would you feel about that? Would you attempt to be the best you can at your job, or just punch the clock?
I was that guy once. Worked many 30+ hour overnights to correct problems created by the adopted idiot son and the son's best friend, lead coder and project manager with no experience, respectively.
I was fired 9 months in for not getting enough done.
In what world do you live in? Unless signed over, Kondik would still hold the copyright to CyanogenMod. Samsung might own rights to whatever he worked on after being hired IF that was stipulated in his contract, or at a minimum during work hours if not otherwise specified in his contract, but nothing would give them the copyright to the name or the whole project.
So the guys asking for a balanced budget, reduction in government size/cost, and generally looking to reduce government payouts are the ones "whining" because they're losing entitlements? I think you have it backwards. They don't think anyone is entitled to education, housing, sustenance, and healthcare: they want you to work for it.
You assume working together would produce anything but a larger pile of crap. You've got uber-religious pro-business big government proponents seeking to increase their own power and wealth on one side and uber-athiest pro-environmental big government proponents seeking to increase their own power and wealth on the other, with a sprinkling of miscellaneous combinations in between.
Only open because it's Google's flagship and that's a requirement. However, the phone is a turd compared to what's out there (no external storage, no 4G, and a couple of others).

Since when did running a train on multiple models simultaneously become geeky? I thought that was every mans' dream?

Most people consider him a crackpot, but he's a small-government moderate so many of his positions should be a good compromise for both sides.

When did TSA monkeys go from "agents" to "officers?"
No, they win reduced amounts on their 3, 4, and 5 number tickets. The rollover weeks push the amounts OVER what they spend.
