If that were the case, the ruling regarding computers being legal would be invalid. You would have to disregard the computer since the CDRom drive is capable of ripping music. Even given that the entertainment system is capable of ripping CDs, the fact that it's called an "infotainment system" gives the primary purpose right there. Providing information and entertainment. The system isn't marketed as a "CD Ripping system", it's just touted as one possible feature of the infotainment system.
It's satellite based. My father did some of the work on the code that handles transitioning between satellites and ground stations as the plane travels the globe. Basically, the plane talks to a satellite, and the satellite hands the connection off to a ground station. As the plane moves, different satellites come into range while others pass out of it. The connection is transferred between the satellites during the trip.
And yet they still didn't manage to catch the "shoe bomb" until it was on the plane and the idiot was attempting to "activate" it. Kneejerk security precautions are what got us into this ridiculous situation in the first place. Within a decade we'll likely have to show up to the ticket boarding counter 4 hours early, stark naked, without a scrap of luggage, simply to endure a body cavity search from Helga the 6'6" 350lb surly TSA agent prior to being allowed on the plane.
I might have been a bit vague on that point. What I was saying was that the only way Hobby Lobby is morally justified in excluding choices for its employees is in the case that it is paying 100% for insurance with no employee contributions. If the employee contributes (which is probably the case) then they should have a say in what gets excluded or allowed. It's not just Hobby Lobby's money at play here. The employees are likely paying through the nose for insurance even with the employer subsidy.
Not the same thing at all. Google has risen as the dominant search engine yes, but it's not like there's any real barriers to creating your own. It's just got to be really really good to take them down. Competition on the internet is possible for anyone, provided they've got a good enough product to compete with. There's no real option to compete with existing cable providers unless your local area decides to open the market to other options. I'm lucky enough to live in an area that actually does have competition within cable providers, but the circumstances of the national climate for cable companies has allowed my local options to keep their prices up.
Is HL providing the insurance at no cost to the employee? That's the only scenario I see them having the right to be the sole arbiter of what coverage the employees are offered. If the employee is covering part of the cost of insurance, then it really should be a joint decision on the part of the employer and the employee.
Funny how I never heard anything about Chicago prior to Obama being elected, and now it's "Corrupt Chicago" everything. Was Chicago corrupt prior to Obama's election? If so, why was it not an issue before? Now it's being invoked on an article about some oddball story out of the UK? Weird...
Actually, according to Netflix's response to Verizon, they offered Verizon co-located boxes, but Verizon declined...
"The letter criticized Verizon for not joining Netflix's Open Connect peering and caching program, which lets ISPs connect directly to Netflix or bring Netflix storage boxes into their own networks in order to improve quality." http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...
This is only partially true. Cops can lie all they want in the course of an investigation. They do have to read Miranda, but beyond that, they can misrepresent all sorts of things to try to get you to confess

Actually, to hear most conservatives talk, you'd think Chicago was as bad as Gaza...

Yes, but can you honestly say that there would it would be noticeable if Bing didn't choose to implement it?
You've obviously never been to Florida...
I think he's about 6 million jews short of being Hitler's reincarnation...
I was wondering when Obama would get dragged into this...
"Deadstick" landings can, and do, happen with controls that are "wired to high heaven". That's pretty hard to pull off when you can't see the runway.
It doesn't have a cellular radio and neither do that tablets.
Might be crazy, but I'm seeing nothing here but a grammatical error
Dammit, that was supposed to be a reply to the child of your comment here...

I think it was an intentional oversight...

Oh, wow, is that a "poor people are nothing but baby producing leeches on the coffers of the state" reference?

DSL, Satellite, and Cable are not equal quality of service, so they can't compete with one another. There is no competition for comparable service.
Actually the ACA mandates that birth control be covered by insurance with no out of pocket expense to the insured so you're wrong there.

Without the ISPs consumers, they wouldn't have a business
