    You so realize that the cost of this is probably a tiny fraction of 1% if their yearly revenue, right? Even if this cost them $500 million a year (most likely a magnitude or more higher than it actually costs them) it would only represent 1.8% of their yearly revenue.

    Great but that doesn't make it "illegal to suggest". Yes you might get fired, but no one is breaking the by stating the suggestion.

    That is until they get bored with google+ and can it too.

    I do know what a republic is and ChIna is in no way a republic. A system of government in which the only way to hold an office is through their connections with the single, dictatorial government that rules is in no way a republic.

    Because they don't own the trademarks. The ASF does.

    Yeah. They are referring to the misinformation such as stating that oo.org is dead when it's not. Pretty much the very misinformation and FUD being spread by this very submission.

    Duh? You believe the Chinese government would voluntarily allow the us government to spy on its country?

    Yes, pretty much every country considers being spied on by other countries to not be okay. Are you an idiot?

    Because without facebook you would whither up and die, right? Oh wait, you wouldn't.

    It requires the.python app which does all the real work.

    You did opt-in. Did you not read the TOS? It's your own fault for not reading it fully.

    Except it's a python app with an html frontend. Not that impressive.

    And you believe the "People's Republic of China" is a real republic? I'm not saying you are wrong in this case but just because a title says something doesn't make it true.

    Because senators never did that before the 17th amendment right? Oh wait... Seriously are you two that ignorant of history that you don't know the huge amount of corruption that was present in the appointment proceeds of senators before the amendment?

  17. Re:Maybe Plum Consulting should become an ISP? on ISPs 'Exaggerate the Cost of Data' · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they can't possibly survive at all without their over 10,000% profit margin (assuming the .01 - .03 figures are accurate)!

    Even if the figures are an order of magnitude off they are still making ((10 - .1) / .1) * 100 = 9900% or ((10 - .3) / .3) * 100 = 3233% If they are extracting such high margins then they should be more than able to pay for new infrastructure to meet demand, and thus lower costs, rather than whining and raising prices even higher.

    Yeah, it's funny how we have this overly complex GRUB solution all to save the "huge" hassle of running /sbin/lilo after installing a new kernel.

    While Apple makes their margins both from the device and content hence why they make far more profit than their competitors.

    It's rather sad that a device that loses $10 a sale is considered a "higher-margin device".

    You can transfer between the nook and Sony readers since they use epub and adobe digital editions so transferring the licenses between them easy. Obviously Amazon uses its own format but that's what you get when you buy something that uses only a single vendor's format.

    What a nonsense reply. If you don't want anyone complaining don't release to the public then you can circlejerk to your hearts content.

    Compare the Intel Atom, which ditched the out-of-order capability of their other mainstream processors.

    Yes and the performance of atom processors is quite shit because of that.

    If this was all just FUD then HTC and Samsung would be fighting these in court rather than licensing them. Neither company backs down from patent fights.
