That is also a quote from "authorities", and not what the actual post said. Without the quote of the actual post, I'll reserve my judgement on the matter.
ABS in a snow storm would also cause me to crash. But then again, I'm one of those people that buys snow tires so I can go faster than 5mph in the winter.
Just because you write a simple bill does not mean the complexity has gone away.
I like to think that "simple bill" means it has one objective. Not a bunch of extra shit attached to it at the last second that has nothing to do with the original intent, but is there just to get others to vote for it. So I'm all in favor of "One Bill, One Purpose".
I know this was supposed to be a joke, but this might actually have more merit than you think. FB/G+ accounts are associated with a specific an identifiable person, and thus would allow you to audit the votes to ensure no one is cheating/hacking/etc. However, the one drawback is that your vote is no longer private.
In fact this is the best thing social media did: got rid of all the lolz-cats-licking-must-watch, political activism and check-what-i-did-in-band-camp spam. Now if I get email, I know it's important.
If only I had mod points!!!!
I didn't realize this until you said it, but you are absolutely right! I don't get any more "FWD:FWD:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE: OMG LOOK AT THIS!" emails anymore, or any of those "Send this to everyone in your address book 10 times!" messages.
All of the sudden, I discovered the true value of Facebook.
Everyone, not just NY'ers, send them feedback. But use an obviously fake name, address, phone, email. Tell them you did this to prove a point. Don't make the message threatening - try to be informative. If they get thousands of messages, maybe....just maybe...they'll get the point.
(I know they won't, but it least I feel like I'm doing something about it)
So, if you have a phone plan that includes unlimited text messages, but don't use them as much now, wouldn't that be ADDING to the teleco's revenue?
Further more, how would a data driven app displace a cellular function??? Text messaging uses less power and resources on my phone. I can text all day long but if have to be connected to the internet to use facebook, I get far less life out of my battery. I don't get why people would prefer a data app over a native cell feature...but that's just me.
Oh wait...I get it now - they put lasers on sharks so that they can have a network across the ocean! (http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/05/02/1744223/finally-a-shark-with-a-laser-attached-to-its-head)
There is a distinct difference between stopping a service that you pay for, and someone not allowing you to freeload anymore.
If you ride BART, you are subject to their rules. They offer you the FREE service of extended cell antennas, but offer no agreement or contract for them to actually work. If they did, don't you think people would have sued them already for their crappy service?
Because electrolysis takes more energy that the hydrogen can produce, so it's more efficient to just use the electricity generated by the solar cells in the first place.
I totally agree with you on that one. The employer *could* hire the 30 hour guy as part time with no benefits, though. Not the ideal situation, but for those that are unemployed, it's better than nothing.
Case in point, I had a friend that was unemployed for 1.5 years. College graduate and all, but couldn't find a job in his field that would make more than unemployment paid. So there was no incentive to even look for a job at that point. Now, if he had the opportunity to pick up a 30 hour a week job making $15-20 an hour, he would have jumped at the chance, even without benefits. I suppose it only works in certain cases though.

So, if a blind person can tell the difference between an iPhone and a Galaxy S3, doesn't that automatically negate any infringement claims?
"Everything you need to know to take the best pictures imaginable with the iPhone, the best camera you have with you".
It's easy for it to be the "best camera you have with you" when it's the only camera you have with you...
You don't need a high quality camera if all you do is post crappy instagram pics.
I would hope there had to be more to it than a simple, "I'd go all Aurora, CO on those kids for a pair of them kicks!"

Right, and when I said "my rally car", I was talking about the one I run in the US. I didn't say "all rally cars".
No, the reason rally cars don't have ABS it's because they are not allowed to.
In the US, the rules allow you to remove or disable the ABS system, but don't require it.
ABS in a snow storm would also cause me to crash. But then again, I'm one of those people that buys snow tires so I can go faster than 5mph in the winter.
There is a reason my rally car doesn't have ABS...
Because it runs software (that could crash) on hardware (that will fail at some point).
Everything breaks at some point. If your business depends on it, why wait until it actually breaks.
While I always agree with this, you can't expect a business that is open 7 days a week to just wait for it to fail.
That's why slavery was once ok, but is now frowned upon.

Doesn't this just go to illustrate that patents are now useless?
I hope to god you are trying to be funny.

"...despite pressure from major Hollywood studios looking to compensate for poor DVD sales"
How about making movies that are actually worth buying? Instead of just remaking, or worse, re-releasing movies for a blatant money grab.
As much as I hate shitty "first" posts, I love Archer, so I have to agree with this one.
