I don't know how it costs them anything since people buy a new phone with the cost of their phone insurance every two years.
Ever tried to get a Verizon rep to admit that there was something wrong with your Fascinate? All they have to do is say "there's nothing wrong" and hang up on you. They know you're not going to take them to court.
If he'd just let this public debate be viewed by the public, we wouldn't have to assume anything. We could make our own conclusions. If he's going to great lengths to hide it, we're going to assume the worst. It's a pretty big leap of logic to assume that everything was all unicorns and flowerbeds when he's flipping out about it like he is.

This is the worst acronym since HELPING CHILDREN THROUGH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (Helping Children Through Research And Development which is also turns out is an acronym, full name: Hi, Everyone. Let's Pitch In 'N' Get Cracking Here In Louisiana Doing Right, Eh? Now Then. Hateful Rich Overbearing Ugly Guys Hurt Royally Everytime Someone Eats A Radish, Carrot, Hors d'oeuvre, And Never Does Dishes. Eventually, Victor Eats Lunch Over Peoria Mit Ein Neuesberger Tod. )
I would vote for a hundred senators who run mudslinging campaigns but still do their jobs well than to continually elect citizen haters who blow rainbows up my ass every six years.
Seems like every time something good happens for people's rights, Ron Wyden is always there getting it started. Can't we just clone him and replace the entire senate?
Children are sure going to hate life when they become adults and these black boxes were installed "for their protection" during a brief phase of their lives.
Take down your curtains, replace with pornography. Remove your tablecloth. Replace with pornography. Put it in your car wondows, storefronts, whatever.
The sooner we expose everyone to it, the better. "No child left behind"; it will invalidate the use of censoring if there's nobody to shield. Everyone should realize that pornography isn't an evil thing that creates evil people.
Never forget that. Long copyright steals our public domain.
Before digital distribution, 5-7 years was considered an adequate amount of time to monopolize an idea. You'd think that number would go down with faster distribution because the creator could get it out there faster.
We used to call someone who profits from someone else's intellectual property (without giving the creator a single cent) a pirate. Today, people who do that are known as Gamestop. As much as I hate Sony, at least they're in the business of creating games. Gamestop is in the business of being in business.
Whenever there's a double standard, it's always the rich that are on the better end. Why is it that you never see double standards benefit the un-rich? At the very best, the less fortunate can hope for temporary equality, but never an advantage.

Looks like Jefferson didn't get his wish.
Nothing ever improves when corporations and the governments team up to screw the populace.

I think someone already beat them to it.
Xbox 720? It's bad enough that Microsoft skipped 359 numbers to "360". The next Xbox will be the 361. Bank on it!

And while we're at it, let's switch to metric clocks.

It was pretty good and had the guy who played Professor Xavier in it. I'd love to see it happen in real life.
I don't understand how criticizing a highly vocal opponent of free software disqualifies him to be the voice of free software.

I had to go there first to confirm it's true. Thank goodness there's slashdot as a backup!

At least casinos will be up front about it and give you your odds of winning
These things are delicious.
Nice to know that de facto laws will hopefully no longer be written by the unelected lawyers writing TOS.
I hope you are thoroughly modded up, good sir.

Nobody needs to be "right" when "rich" will suffice. Nobody wants to become Bleem!
Would I be on the hook for $168 million?
I switched to their competitor who has more content and better prices!
