Considering that Dish is a reputable company that needs to preserve its relationship with networks, I have a feeling they've already done the legal footwork to set this up.
As good as algorithms get, they still can't detect sarcasm or irony (including trolling). There's enough of that happening on the melodramatic Facebook feeds that it's probably wise not to attempt to auto-detect emotions too much.
Actually, no, American Indian is the self-chosen name of these groups. According to Wikipedia:
In 1968, the American Indian Movement was founded. In 1977, a delegation from the International Indian Treaty Council, an arm of AIM, elected to collectively identify as "American Indian", at the United Nations Conference on Indians in the Americas at Geneva, Switzerland. Some activists and public figures of indigenous descent, such as Russell Means, say that they prefer "American Indian" to the more recently adopted "Native American".
Is the TSA going to provide a power plug? 'Cause that's the only way my laptop is going to power up on command, it's hardly portable but for its size anymore.
Sadly, this won't work out in the end. Any store that finds itself with a shortfall in profit will inevitably wind up cutting worker hours to make it up.
Not for a while, they won't. Walmart doesn't have internet terminals at their registers, not even at customer service. With the amount of stores that Walmart owns, can you imagine how much it would take for them to upgrade their registers to add this capability? And for what, so customers could get a discount (i.e. Walmart loses money)? No, sir.
Better yet, my local Walmart always has THE WORST connections in store. If I stand by the doors, I can maybe get 3G, usually 2G. It drops off immediately once I enter the store. This necessitates loading any webpages I want before I get in the door, so I could easily take a screenshot or create a local page and cashiers would be unable to verify if it was fake due to my lack of connection. The only way they could verify it is by looking it up themselves, but Walmart doesn't have internet-connected registers.
It's still easy enough to change the page by Photoshop or editing the HTML code directly, then take a "screenshot" of your newly-modified page.
The real solution will only come when Walmart and other retailers start looking up the prices themselves to verify them, just like they would with print ads (no sane retailer would accept someone's xeroxed version of a store's weekly ad in order to price match, so why would they accept screenshots and printouts of internet websites?).
That's because we're still designing the web for 4:3 ratio screens, which are becoming less and less popular. That's like designing the web for 800x600 because there are still monitors with that max resolution floating around. If we would stop with the single-column views (here's looking at you, Slashdot Beta) and provide more useful information density, we could get more productivity out of our websites.
Widescreen monitors also have a unique benefit for coding if they can tilt portrait, you can fit a lot more code on a tall screen than you can on a wide one or square one.
Even Russian rockets fail sometimes. Normally they get a little higher than the treeline, but there's been a few high profile failures of Russian rockets in recent years.
You're not forced into any of those features. You don't have to use the tabs, Unread/Important-first inboxes, or threaded view. Please take a look at the settings page for once and stop your bitching.
Ext2/3/4 are common file systems for Linux users. By saying they are outside the scope, you're essentially shooting yourself in the foot in regards to the Linux market. Which is hypocritical considering that Chrome OS is built on top of Chrominium, a FOSS project, which is built on top of the Linux kernel in turn. Having a Linux derivative that supports Ext2/3/4 is not outside scope.

tl;dr

On the bright side, your GPA is going to look fantastic for this semester.

At the end they [the newspapers] will run to the government asking them to remove this law.
And the critical reporters will still be fired.
Probably because if you're working Sunday, it means you're not getting another day off for at least 5 more days (M-F).

I can easily create a local HTML page derived from Amazon's website. It'll be hosted in my browser, on my phone, but it'll be 100% fake.

I didn't realize my evening commute was 100% safe.
In that case, the launch commander would be in the ER with burns on his face, rather than safe in the Launch Command Center.

Don't forget that SpaceX had its own problems at inception.

I'm sure they'll charge you to use them just like they do in-flight wifi. $30 for 20 minutes of window time or something exorbitant like that.
For most flights, you already lack the pillows, blankets and food, unless you fly trans-oceanic frequently. Short hop flights also lack snacks.
