Or, "A Tale of Hi-Tech Hypocrisy"...
I love how/.'s editors love to post stories railing against the end of a free Internet and the abuses of tech by authoritarians in western society, yet continually post these infotisements for two of the biggest players in the movement to abuse and restrict technology (AT&T and Apple).
What's next? Are we soon supposed to start loving Disney?
Like so many folks, she was my first "Doctor Who Girl" and I've had a crush on her all these years. I got to interview her in the early 80s and a nicer, kinder and more friendly person I have never met. A great actress and good person. She's the first celebrity whose death I have wept for in I don't know how long. She will be sorely missed and always remembered.
Looks like TorrentFreak is making the same bad assumption that most US citizens continue to make. That is, assuming that "constitutional" matters one whit anymore to the US government or the people who run it.
The classic Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is getting a sequel, a prequel and a reboot...
"We feel there's a lot of left to explore in the world of 'Mona Lisa,'" said a greedy scum-sucking banker-type who wouldn't know art if it slapped him upside his swollen ego with a jugged fish,.
COICA should really be called the Combating Legal, Open Access for Corporate Aggrandizement... or... CLOACA. A perfect fit for Dodd, well-known corporate-whore.
I have one, and it works fine. Great actually, as I just wrote this reply (by hand, not keyboard) in Windows 7, from a moving car. Get with the program!
According to RTD, the mysterious woman was left deliberately mysterious to tickle the fancy of fans, a move I heartily approve of. Personally, I thought she was Romana, in a later regeneration (which would make sense since Romana would likely have still been the President of the High council when Rassilon took over). But, RTD did say that in his mind, the character was The Doctor's mother.
Thoroughly agreed, with this caveat: In regards to the 8th Doctor aka Paul McGann, I used to feel the same, until i got a chance to hear the "radio dramas" in which he starred. Changed my opinion of him completely, Now I love his portrayal, although I can see how someone who has only seen that terrible Fox movie would think otherwise.
Now if we can also dump that failure of a "show-runner" Moffat, I can go back to giving Doctor Who a chance again.
This first Moffat/Smith season turned me, a life-long Whovian, off to the show completely. A massive turnaround from waiting, with baited-breath for the first download of each week's episode to appear on the net. I found the whole season to be a mis-paced, un-who-like, muddled and emotionless mess.
From TFA: "...So one thing you can do is say, I’m going to assume the next pixel is like this one. Don’t talk to me, don’t tell me anything about the image, until you get something different..."
Brilliant! He's reinvented Run-Length Encoding!

Like Ubuntu, or OS X (via hackintosh) or, yes, if I must, the Win7 install it came with. Certainly not Google's little not-ready-for-primetime toy.
At least I can run a non-toy OS on that one.

They published Archon II: Adept.
So it must be time for another "Mouse Killer" story...

From the anti-science, pro-theocracy party?
And lets not kid ourselves that cutting science and education funding is the wet-dream of the religious extremists in the United States.
Now that we all know the only correct opinions, we can close the thread. :))
Maybe I'll actually play it.....NOT!
Now I get to pay $1.29 to rent "Honey Pie"...until my HD crashes, then I get to do it again! Hooray For Apple(& Apple)!
"Separate But Equal" anyone?
The proper term for what's going on with Assange is ratfucking.

and one much easier to answer would be "If the sky weren't blue, would people still eat hot-dogs?"

Gonna lick his hand and wag my tail!
