The Jewish friends I've talked to have essentially said "we get to make sense of it". They tried (preferred maybe?) to follow basic kosher practices, but would let a good hang-over lead to a bacon-cheese omlette on sabot, in the end, it was no more or less a bad thing to do than getting drunk and acting like a complete asshole.
Many orthodox branches attempt to rigorously follow all rules of the old testament (there are seven hundred and some specific rules one should try and follow). I imagine they make exceptions for actually stoning homosexuals, at least to be pragmatic.
Most are also baffled by the Christian emphasis on the ten commandments, looking at them not as particularly more or less important than any other rules passed down from profits.
Not to feed the troll, but official government run segregation ended a lot more recently then 150 years ago.
Generational poverty is hard to escape no matter what the skin color (and personal anecdotes that prove it's possible don't mean it's easy, or not a disadvantage), and a government actively working to maintain said poverty for multiple generations (after being recognized as people rather than chattel) is apparently capable of doing so.
I will not defend the actions of individuals that act like poor white trash because that is the easy thing to do, but as a group of people, African Americans are more likely to act like white trash than white people, due to the long-term and active effort to make sure they maintained their generational poverty. It can be argued that said effort is no longer being made, but if you associate with the broad population you'd be pretty stupid to make it.
My guess is that comcast thinks they are over-paying
If they pass on the cost to customers, the channels have a lot to lose (in ads), if they don't, the channel should be premium.
Keep all the free and pay the cable company channels, and let me subscribe. Someone alleged that espn is 10/month/customer, I would happily take a $5 discount to not have it (actually I do very basic (networks and a local college) cable and internet now (the tv only because its $7 more a month and the antenna cuts out when the tension is highest). Id pay $5 for comedy central, and $3 each for FX and AMC, I'dstill be $20 under extended basic plus internet. My guess though is that the channels that cost money will get cheaper for comcast, and no savings passed on, with the idea of a la carte being a negotiating tactic.
I really assumed they allowed it to be used for the sake of targeting ads, but keep a buffer between it and their customers.
But like Google doesn't sell tracking, but they use the data to sell things at a higher rate.
If I were targeting ads at Facebook users, I would want to be sure it was the right ones, that's what I'm paying for. The increased data has less value, because it is less accurate.
I did the same thing as a youngun on a regular phone (long distance bill).
Socializing to the expense of schoolwork is nothing new either. Kids will be kids, god save them, and taking the phone is a reasonable response, but it hardly sounds any different then sneaking out to meet at the park, or using a landline phone.
Saying it's texting that's the problem is silly, kids often have priorities wrong, I mean, someone teasing you can feel like the end of the world.
It's generally something I hear used by people that would say I'm addicted to texting.
If someone actually suffers withdraw when not receiving and sending texts I suppose it's a problem, but generally we as a society consider communicating with peers as a positive thing.
I'll fess up to sending/receiving 2500 or so in a general month and 5200 last month. It's a convenient way to communicate, removing many of the flaws of phone conversation. My minutes usage have gone from 1200 to 200 in the last two years.
New forms of communication bring fear to people (the first generation to grow up with phones was a concern to the adults), it's just communication, in no way superior or inferior to others.
Is she really addicted to texting, or does she constantly communicate with her friends as 11 year old girls have done for decades (if not since the beginning of time)?
What's wrong with texting friends at 11 (or any age)?
My girlfriend and I got her 10 year old a phone so she could have a phone. We didn't have a landline, and she was at the age we thought appropriate to leave at home for a quick shopping trip etc.
The phone was a way for her to call if there was an issue. Additionally, it was a low-end smartphone, so she was empowered with internet access whenever she needed it.
People with money wanting to spend it are what give opportunities to investors. If nobody wanted to spend money once the investor paid the money to make the opportunity to spend exist, it would be a terrible investment.
There is no always right answer about trickling down money or bubbling it up through the economy, both are good, it's only when the system is too far one way for too long that things start to become problematic (either too much money at the top not making it's way down, or not enough concentrated money to allow for big investments).
I agree in principal, they should of just required dropping the name "Android" from such devices, but it should of ended there.
The fact is though, that Android phone is, and allegedly will remain Open Source. And more importantly, the handset hardware appears to have at least 2 companies (and with google buying Moto, hopefully 3) committed to open hardware (HTC and Samsung).
We have in the Android ecosystem, not just high-quality software being opensource, but high-quality hardware allowing custom software.
Android 3 is not for phones, and the fact that people would complain about Android 3, and then follow up with "Android is a major step towards an ethical, user-controlled, free-software portable phone, but there is a long way to go" is why they did not release the source. People are clearly demonstrating they can't be trusted to keep it off the phone (I also imagine there was a little bit of pressure from tablet makers wanting to establish a market before the knock-offs could drop the price point).
Android is open source for the phone, and allegedly will remain into the future (along with becoming open source on the tablet).
All complaints about Android in summary focus on tablets, all complaints about devices focus on phones. Let's make are rants make sense please.
Slashdot Mirror
Is it plugged in is totally part of physical.
It's the first check on the physical layer.
Wouldn't or a dead project be more likely to have issues leading to, I can't get this to work?
You say stuff peripheral, I say better ways to communicate.
Even just reading the summary, roller coaster + asma looks legit.
I suppose I use that meaning more often, and have trained myself to not do the reverse (which is generally what I used to do).

How about the last 5 years? 20 years? 15 years?
It may be a majority, but certainly not a vast one.
Not to feed the troll, but official government run segregation ended a lot more recently then 150 years ago.

What percentage of nut job attacks on American soil were Muslim?
Don't these sports channels have ads?
This sounds like a negotiating ploy.
I should add, I don't think it was done maliciously, I think it was an over-site. They want accurate data.
I really assumed they allowed it to be used for the sake of targeting ads, but keep a buffer between it and their customers.
But like Google doesn't sell tracking, but they use the data to sell things at a higher rate.
If I were targeting ads at Facebook users, I would want to be sure it was the right ones, that's what I'm paying for. The increased data has less value, because it is less accurate.
I don't know, if I were paying for browsing data of facebook users, I'd want it to be accurately attached to a real name.
Once the news broke, I imagine customers were pissed that they were being sold poor quality data.
If I log out, and it's a multi-user computer, it taints the cookie's value.
I doubt it has anything to do with doing the "right thing"
Gmail, and Google contact sync are pretty useful though.
Not if it runs 3.x
We'll have to wait for at least ice cream sandwich then.

The thing is, sun didn't leverage open source. They open sourced things they had, things that already had minshare even.
Netscape died, but mozilla makes ten million a year, not huge, but decent.
The summary suggests hp invest in existing projects (leveraging work already done) rather than buying companies. A stradegy that worked for IBM.
Open source as marketing worked for one of the DBs (MySQL I think), and drupal (I imagine dries does better now than before)
You mean like HTC committing to not do this?
Samsung sending phones to Cyanogen in exchange for them promising support?
From what I can tell it's working quite well in phones.

Both do.

On the phone, Android is free software.
Ice Cream Sandwich is supposed to be Open Source.
