This isn't just "agreeing" but paying wads of cash, and it's not just "anything", but something that's incompatible with Musk's own business (more oil pipelines don't exactly help an electric car company).
Uh, Musk dropped because the paid ad included something else he doesn't support (building a certain pipeline), not because he's against what the group defends.
The T-Mobile site says you can charge $10 on a pre-paid card and get 3 months of service, so that's just $40/year, no $80+, unless there's some hidden fee I'm not seeing.
It's still ridiculously expensive (here in Portugal you just need to make any call or send an SMS every four months, so the initial balance of $12 can last you for years), but not quite as bad.
You'll still be locked out, because the proposal involves proprietary binary blobs that perform the actual decryption, which won't exist for your platform.
The only "standard" part is the browser hooks for those modules to plug into.
Copyright is the only thing we have that assures that anyone, or any company, will take the massive risks involved in producing a major title which can run upwards of $50m+ to make.
And slavery was the only way to build the pyramids. And like then, the ends still don't justify the means on any sane moral code.
And before you come and say "hurr, but copyright is not slavery!!1", go learn how analogies work.
What's the exact number of millimeters that makes a person tall? The fact that there isn't a specific number does not mean the concept doesn't exist. See "sorites".
(This doesn't mean I agree with GP, I'm just pointing out the fallacy)
Yes, there must be some similitude to justify the comparison, obviously.
In 1984 the surveillance wasn't hidden, it was overt. And this is actually important, because the main concept in the novel wasn't the surveillance, but the state of mind of the Party members*, which both enabled and was enabled by the conscience of full and complete surveillance, among other things.
People who compare this to Orwell's work either didn't read it or completely missed the point.
* The society in 1984 didn't actually have full surveillance; in fact, only 15% of society were spied on. Winston is just part of those 15%.
There are nuances; the Earned Income Tax Credit, for example, incentivizes people to work by paying them more if they increase their salary (up to a limit).
Government used to solve those problems because the capitalists needed those phone networks and highways to export their products. It stopped solving problems when the same people decided they didn't need them to.
You don't need to modify the file, just the code in memory. And it's not that hard for most software, otherwise we wouldn't need layer upon layer of protections, like DEP and ASLR.
The virtual currency that is "safe", despite numerous examples of exchange hacks and theft.
What one has in an exchange isn't bitcoins, it's credit which they promise to exchange for bitcoins. It's bank money.
Wouldn't it make sense to hold off on your purchase if tomorrow your current bitcoin wallet can get you more?
It depends; the utility of having the item now may be greater than the gain by waiting. Otherwise, nobody would ever by phones, computers, cars, etc, since by waiting people could always get something better. Yet, these markets have a very high amount of sales.
Note: I don't own any Bitcoins; I think for now they're nothing but a speculator's toy. But I'm not writing them off just yet.

Clearly you need more than a "fucking phone" if you want to use Google Search on it.
I showed you how you were incorrect when describing languages as "performant", which was all I wanted to point out.
But in any case: http://morepypy.blogspot.pt/2013/05/pypy-20-alpha-for-arm.html
code that can be mangled into failure by copy and paste problems.
That's a feature to prevent terrible copy-paste programmers from soiling the community. As it's apparent, it works.
By the way, languages aren't more or less "performant", there are just faster and slower implementations. Pypy is easily at the level of V8.

Those run IOS, not iOS.

most of it is a want, not a need
Most of everything is a want, not a need, and there's nothing wrong with that.

That's not an ad hominem, that's a plain insult.
All JavaScript engines compile to machine code; it's not something specific of asm.js.
The keyword is Canada. Not everything revolves around the US.
It's actually more than 20%, but whatever floats you prejudiced boat.

Zoning laws don't always allow that.

Don't you think the laptop is expensive enough? Making a custom batch would add a premium for no particularly good reason.

That statement means nothing in absolute terms. You need to compare it with something else for a meaningful insight.
They didn't start anything up in reactor n.4. This is water from the day of the meltdown.
But I thought nuclear energy is safe
