No, the FBI is all over the world. They are the primary criminal investigation unit of the US government. Most of their work occurs in the US, but embassy bombings and the like fall under their purvue. The CIA and NSA, and the millitary are not law enforcement agencies. The FBI has a wide reach. I think it was an FBI agent who questioned Saddam Hussein after his capture.
I don't waste my time talking to nerdy idiots. But I do sometimes spend it to correct the factual errors they post. Neither the Indy 500 (IndyCar) or the Brickyard 400 (NASCAR) have sold out the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in recent years.
Does that make the argument for blacking out the coverage stronger or weaker? I'm not sure. I wasn't addressing that aspect. In fact, I'm not even sure if the NASCAR race is blacked out in Indy (I think it may not be). I don't really pay attention to NASCAR and I doubt NASCAR fans pay any attention to me.
Wow. You seem to perceive some sort of MS advocacy on my part when I was merely suggesting that we discuss the subject of the article rather than typos. You sound like an embittered Microsoft shareholder.
Incidentally, 'motard' is a French word. Look it up. You can the translator from Google if Bing burns your eyeballs.
Lesser sites might offer conjectures about why MS might be interested in Nook - or, might not be. Perhaps the up and down sides of such a strategy. That would be interesting to read.
But we have laws against suicides, allowing suicides, and snuff films (not sure which category this falls into). I think the first episode of the show might have an ending similar to that of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
If the cost is 'on the same scale', it's going to be one heck of a lot more than $200K. Beginning next year, they should be able to get you into space for $200K - for about five minutes. What will it cost for two weeks?
Yes, chances are the old dogs have already had to learn new trick a number of times, while the young'ns have so far only learned one way. GUI's, the web, and the like each have disrupted the development methods that came before them. Usually, some things are true improvements but other good ideas are lost - at least for a time.
The only problem I've ever had is when I know that a current technology is moving down the wrong path towards a dead-end. In this case it's difficult continue along the same path waiting for everyone else to figure it out (which won't happen until the next revolution).

Yes. Feel the anger. Let it course through your veins. Only then will you know the power of the dark side.

Think about Microsoft much? What a strange contribution to the discussion.
An excellent use of confirmation bias. My hat is off to you sir.

Judas did what he did with the full knowledge of Jesus, then committed suicide. Siggi...well, it's not really the same.
Yes, because the U.S. Government needs to prove that they don't have co-conspirators.
And we're supposed to be afraid of the NSA.
Depends on who "your people" are, doesn't it? This simple fact explains much of this situation.
He has been accused. No one said 'charged'.
...you got me on my knees, lu-leh...
Squirrel!!! *crash*
First, they came for the graffiti artists....
We should change the system so that a panel of engineers, chemists, and the like rule on patents.
I'd love to see the lawyer's reactions.

They haven't sold the place out in years. Not since disasterous the split around 1996.

iTunes? Huh? You mean textbooks?
Existing customers? Of what?
In the end, it took you many more than two sentences just to be dismissive.

But ragging on typo's is much more /.. Woot!
Do you really think they'll have a plausible plan for 60-80 earth years of life support?

10-15 years.
Are you suggesting that Virgin Galactic invade Somalia?
