I guess alot of this would come down to one question, are humans responisble for why they are an endangered species?
If we are then we should probably put a effort into saving them especially if they are essential to their habitats such as bats and what not. If we are no way related to why they are going extinct such as a natural disease or predator in the area, then let nature take its course.
This is even coming after the fact that the vatican has specifically noted that the Bible is not a Science book and never will be. For 1 simple reason, science books change over time as we learn new theories and make new discoveries. The Bible never changes in its overall concept. The interpretations may change along with a few words here and there but the overall context has remained constant for centuries.

Then can you guys do something about the ridiculous text messaging fees? I shouldn't have to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a minuscule amount of data.
In all reality text messages should be considered part of your data plan, shoot even with a 2 GB monthly cap *cough* at&t *cough*.
Lets see about the math of that-
Average Text message of 140 characters = 140 Bytes 2 GB = 2,147,483,648 bytes
so if you were to use your entire data plan you could send / receive on average approximately 15,339,169 text messages per month.
Now if you were to send those same text messages over AT&T's standard text message rate of $0.20 per message your bill assuming you didn't have unlimited texting would cost you $3,067,833.80 per month.
yea that is not the slightest bit excessive, guess that is why we have those unlimited texting plans. Although if you did this much texting they would probably kick you off of their network. Or more likely start instituting text caps to their unlimited texting plans like they did to their data plans.
If I recall correctly they are refering to the UK season. They make mixed references to the US showings and the UK in the article. They even noted in an episode about to air in the UK about if Bees really can lift an IBM Thinkpad off the ground that it was shown in the US already and the results were already availible on youtube.
If I remember correctly, My.MP3.com also allowed users to share their collection as well which is was certain to doom it from that aspect in itself. Now as long as this is locked to your account only I would see no problem with this.
I am rooting for Amazon obviously in this case and hopefully finally end the RIAA ability to double, triple dip their excessive licenses.
apparently those same students thought that the sender had their email open as well and recieved it right away. Of course you need to the proper people that this happened and compose the confirmation. At this point said person is really wanting to make sure they get it correct which takes a few minutes.
But I guess that is not good enough for the TGIF (twitter, google, ipad, facebook) generation and their I want it now mentality
But I am sure this will eventually happen as well, it is only a matter of time. After all we seem to be heading towards an inevitable time where we will have 1 mega-corp per service(s) as in some will control more than one. [cough]NBC/Comcast[/cough]
as these people are considered the below the lowest forms of scum on the earth, you can realistically color me not suprised by this.
These people have folks just waiting around for bad stuff to happen all armed with their templates for and within momemnts of word of the events breaking out they have their domains registered and sites up ready to part you with your cash and leave you a nice thank you note in the form of malware and other viruses on your systems.
They rely on the fact that in a time of distress peoples logic goes out the window and for the simple fact that you can't patch stupid.
Or they will do what they do best, ignore the problem and keep using it anyways.
There are still those in the CIA who believe they answer to no one. Do you really think a lawsuit will make the CIA ground their predator fleet? They will still use it but just won't know about it.
well I hate to rain on your parade. But Apple's iOS has been caught to be just as guilty as the Android App market with applications that constantly transmit private information to servers. Just because Apple wants their fancy walled in garden for their app store does not make them immune to that happening to them.
I am personally sick of people who think since I own a Mac or Linux box, I am immune to viruses and other crap that people get with windows. And the same holds true for iOS vs Android vs Blackberry vs Windows Mobile. Live with it.

I guess we just change all fields to mask the entries with **** or if we want to really fool them use dots.

I see a the dawn of a new era for the script kiddies of the dark corners of the interwebs.
I give it till tomorrow before we see new variants popping up if we are lucky.
I mean who puts Windows (any flavor) servers public facing to the internet without a firewall..
Well apparently the Jeopardy answer would be- Who is Sony?
Google wants location data to better sale advertisements, where governments want data because .
This is a pick your poison, but I don't trust any government with the amount of data that google has likely accumulated on us.
did they commission this for all those samsung drives they are about to purchase?

Not like I would buy it anyways, sony has been on the blacklist for a number of years for me now
I assumed this has been well known for a long time, at least among the /. crowd. Other examples I can think of off the top of my head.
1) Mobile Cassette player
2) CD-RW drives
3) iPods
4) Youtube
5) bittorrent
do you expect anything less from these people. They rather sue to support their dinosaur of a business model than inovate and keep the status quo.

and out of curiousity what is the current combined GDP of every country on the planet? I am fairly sure it would be less than this.
I guess they will never be truely satified with their revenue stream until every last penny, yen, euro, etc is in their infinite pockets.
Don't give them any ideas....

now the bigger question...
Did he add a sound modulator that makes the PEW sound every time he squeezes the trigger?
That was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw this, guess the writers for the Big Bang Theory where on to something afterall.
but in a more annoying way.
Virus + Li Batteries.....
I just hope sony doesn't make these and it decides to explode in a tobacoo field. Whatcouldpossiblygowrong
Or they will do what they do best, ignore the problem and keep using it anyways.

for the next 2 years while this is in effect, the online music services will be raising their prices to milk the system.
They most likely won't but I wouldn't put it past those seeing this as a good money grab opportunity.
Death awaits you all big nasty pointy teeth.

Two wrongs don't make a right.
No, but three lefts do.
It just fills in up to 6 typed characters. you can type 6 periods (.) and still get it all filled it.
What it is leading to after that is anyones guess. Seems more gimicky at the moment.
