    Now all you have to do is to get a latency of zero and unlimited bandwidth and you're actually having something like a point.

  3. Kinda hard to pay with it online. I offered to scan or fax it, but oddly most companies refused.

  4. Just reading the headline on Facebook Settlement With FTC Could Run Into the Billions (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    And given the track record of the FCC lately I can't with certainty claim that I'd know who'd be paying who.

    Right, else there's that threat that I might smuggle it on board of a plane.

    What, you don't have a phone call from jail anymore so you can decide for yourself who you want to inform that you're in jail now? Your lawyer has to get that info from the press?

    Wow, justice in the US sure deteriorated while I wasn't looking.

    Yeah, they're crunchy and go great with sweet-sour sauce.

    I know a few cats. Trust me. THEY would keep the roving bands of chihuahuas out.

    If we can't do it with humans because of civilization, at least let Darwin be right when it comes to animals.

    Don't be so exclusive, Christianity and Judaism are just as good at being based on ignorance and misogyny.

    The internet was great while it lasted.

    If you want to have something like that, I guess you have to do it yourself in the future.

    Which makes it even more interesting that there was no problem with releasing his name for everyone to know, but the list of politicians on the hitlist was not revealed.

    Why name one criminal and protect the others?

    Oh. Sorry. Alleged criminals, all of them innocent until proven guilty, of course.

  15. I'm fairly sure this breaks their hearts on Software Pirates Use Apple Tech To Put Hacked Apps on iPhones (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    ...depriving Apple and legitimate app makers of revenue. By doing so, the pirate app distributors are violating the rules of Apple's developer programs, which only allow apps to be distributed to the general public through the App Store. Downloading modified versions violates the terms of service of almost all major apps.

    Here's an iPhone. Call someone who gives a shit.

    Personally I think it was already all over when they melted the chick.

  17. The difference is that you can jail an AI even less than a corporation.

  18. I'm more inclined to assume that the average CEO fails it.
