The nips probably own and designed some of those most critical chips, not EVERYTHING is designed in the US you know. And Japan is not some shitty 3rd-world country where you can pay children a nickel a day to inhale sulfur; I doubt that it is any cheaper than producing them in the US. Then, new designed aren't interchangeable with the old ones, so it would take a huge amount of time and money to redesign all the produces to work with the new chips. It would be easier and cheaper just to wait for Japan come back on line.
I agree, I also I think that it should be against the law for other people to have better things than I do. Nothing pisses me off more than when someone else gets a bonus for their work in a different industry than I do in mine. Fuck that shit.
We should hang out some time, we can go talk about shit that we no nothing about together!
Why does everything have to be profitable? Were the taxpayers who didn't want to pay for it forbidden from leaving if that $.000342 for every dollar of sales tax was too much for them?
But you are right, I am sure that the big telecoms were thinking of the poor, overtaxed citizens who were not able to vote when they sued to shut it down. That's what corporations are known for, protecting the little man.
First, a ToS is not a law, it is not even really a contract, it is only a way to outline what the user should expect. Secondly, even if it were a contract, it would be a tort, not a crime.
You sure do know quite little about the law for someone who plays the big bad internet lawyer on slashdot.
Surely you don't think that a simple user ID is standing behind your words, do you? Even Kristpeit can get (several dozen) user IDs. Your real name and address please, so I can be sure that you are standing behind your word.
I'm not going to bother reading through your, no doubt insightful, comment history, but the phrase "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" comes naturally from "Most people who use it do so to commit crimes, from trolling to murder". Your unstated premise being that murderers and trolls hide their 'crimes' with anonymity for fear of retribution.
I called you a troll in another thread. I apologize, I now believe that you actually believe the shit that you say. Whether that is an improvement or not is up for you to decide.
You have absolutely no imagination when you are making names for these cockpuppet accounts AT ALL. You should leave the samefagging to professionals, who know how to leave more than an infinitesimally thin curtail between their accounts.
Try just posting AC; it would be less obvious if you would also quit with that ">>>" shit.
How much taxes did you pay to Fountaindale Illinois again?
BUT as long as my dollars are involved, the product of my own sweat and work, then I will offer my opinion on the matter whenever, however, and wherever I desire.
If you don't like things like libraries being built, move to... Somalia! The government free utopia you Ayn Rand fucks have been ejaculating too for years.
And in the future, if you or any other Politician tries to silence me, then I will remove him from office at the earliest opportunity because he is no longer listening to the Will of the People.
Haha, don't make me laugh with your threats. What are you going to do, make some more sockpuppet accounts on Slashdot and flame me? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
I acknowledge your post, but I don't think that anymore can be discussed, what with your name calling and all. Well, have a nice day anyway Americano, and if you think I am such an idiot, consider adding me to your Foe's list or something.
BANKS motherfucker, BANKS, not all corporations, not the business that create value, just BANKS, specifically INVESTMENT BANKS, the ones that merely shift value around. Like the guy you initially replied to wrote: BANKS.
If you think that a tax rate that high wouldn't require a lot of corporate [BANK] programs to be cut (which means significant job losses, too, incidentally), then you're clearly not thinking logically.
Good, BANKS need to be doing less.
And if you don't care about the jobs you're destroying
OH NO! THE USURERS WON'T MAKE AS MUCH! I do not care if Mr. Monopoly Man has to forgo buying another Mansion. Most of those huge BANKS only employ a few dozen people anyway.

I'll have the bitching on Slashdot area covered!

Because journalist are obsolete, right? Because we definitely are over-informed and need less reporting on news, right?

No, they do not have the right to have a vicious tyrant that kills his own people out of shear paranoia.
Under a zero tolerance system even the target, who is out Gandhi-ing Gandhi in being absolutely passive, gets the book thrown at him.
Yup. 'Zero tolerance policies' are really 'zero thinking policies'.

What is your name PCM2?

since when isn't it?
Are you fucking stupid?
Oh, I get it, you are metatrolling. Well played!
It was only later that the Federal government decided to amend the Constitution
No, the State governments changed that.
It seems that in my haste to post I made a few typographical errors. Please do not think less of me, I know that Napolitano is female.
I never insinuated that they had any lack of data, only that they wanted to do it faster.
More like he wants to be able to sift through more people data and make files on every citizen faster, am I right?
Not sure what all the nationalistic bullshit was meant to say.
Maybe it was there to counter the American specific attack in the OP or something, I don't know....
perhaps that the people of other countries somehow are less intelligent, and don't get their jobs done?
Oh, well, I can think of a few that don't....

But more importantly, 1337% of pi is....... ~42
I see.
No one cares what you would do. Go start your own library.
Yeah, they hate science too, but they want the State government to manipulate it rather than the Federal. What an improvement!
Either you meant China, which would make your argument wrong, or you are horribly misinformed about Japan.
