    If they haven't yet posted the source for linux, then they're violating the license.

    Thats not how it works.

    Since you dont know how it works, then surely you being a bright intelligent person knew that you didnt.... which begs the question....

    Yes we should ban mail-in ballots.

    As far as people in the service, the ballots should also not be mailed. The branch of service itself should manage them, count them, report the numbers, and retain them for future recounts if they are needed.

  3. AmiMoJo, why do you keep posting on subjects that you are so completely ignorant on?

    It's interesting that you feel able to pigeon-hole most people on this web site

    To be fair, AmiMoJo pigeon-holed himself by spamming comments on SJW stories. We arent talking about 2 or 3 posts per SJW story here, we are talking 20 or 30.

    Suppose we kept things as they are and you purchased the best high-speed package available. It may zoom during non-peak hours and you could watch your favorite shows in real-time in HD during these non-peak hours, but during peak hours it would crawl.

    Do you understand that MOST PEOPLE do not have the highest speed connection available to them, yet they still have no trouble at all streaming their favorite shows in HD in realtime?

    Its pretty clear now that you dont know shit about your local government, because if tech people in your area were actually involved in your local government, the threat of pulling the local isp's franchise agreements would have already gotten them to offer at least 5-mbit service. However you are so fucking apathetic about local matters that they dont even have to offer 5-mbit service to maintain their franchise agreements. Quite telling.

    Most of the people in the country dont have your problem because they give a shit where it matters, rather than only on slashdot.

    They don't necessarily think it is worth the expense

    If they are voluntarily paying it, they do.

    in some cases they simply have no choice.

    Gun to their head and all that?

    If you think its over-priced, then don't pay for it. So long as you continue to pay for it, it cannot actually be over-priced in your view unless there is that gun to your head.

    We have laws against putting guns to peoples heads. Perhaps you should call the police.

    As a utility it wouldnt give you real competition. Since all the "competitors" will be running on the same equipment, speeds would be the same and so on.

    ..and there would never be a reason to upgrade the equipment.

  11. They will at the very least leverage their brand to make lots of money on MBP's irregardless of its quality. They might eventually run their brand into the ground but shitty MBP's wont be the reason. Shitty phones and tablets on the other hand...

  12. The reasoning is more sane than you guys think.

    The marketers have reliable data that says if its Xmm thinner that they will sell Y additional units, where apparently Y isnt at all a small number.

    The engineers chime in saying if its Xmm thinner that it will also save them $Z per unit on materials.

    This is a no-brainer.

    a libertarian leaning Republican could be pro-choice

    Most of the libertarians I know consider most abortions to be the murder of a human being.

    The support of abortion is rooted in dehumanizing the fetus. It cant be said to have any rights at all if it doesnt even have the right to live. Even if and when we agree as a society that killing these particular human beings is ok, that still doesnt mean that we agree that the State should promote or fund the activity.

    If you think the right to live is a human right rather than person-hood right, then the fetus has the right to live and therefore abortions would be murder which is already a banned activity.
    else the next libertarian thing is no regulation of the activity at all.

    Being libertarian is as much about the implementation as it is the intended goal.

    We already did the amnesty thing.

    Mexicans came or stayed here illegally at an even greater rate after that.

    The only way amnesty works is if you do something to stop it from happening in the future, like maybe building something along the borders to prevent it a lot of it.

    If you owned a driverless car and normally it cruised around NYC making you money day in and day out, and then you see on the news one of the tallest structures every built come down, damaging or destroying everything near it, and right next to that is a twin of that structure and its suffering from the same thing that brought the first one down, I am pretty sure you would be pulling it out of NYC as fast as you could.
