I currently have Verizon Wireless and DSL as well as a local phone plan. I will be cancelling them tomorrow. If their networks are taxed SO MUCH, i will do my part to help them out.
Unfortunatel for Verizon, this is not like the old days. They have competition everywhere they look.
You don't need to drive near Tienamen Square, you should be ok.

You'll get paid when and if we feel like it and you'll sit there and take it like a bitch, like you always have. And congrats on your trip 200 years in the past, since thats what it takes for you to find something to feel proud of. No wonder you still kiss the Queen's dry ass, you cant stand on your own. Your only accomplishment is to be a member of the commonwealth. As Gervais would say....pathetic.

I get the feeling you are only supporting NTP because they are American and RIM is Canadian. Why dont you take your bigoted attitude and stick it up your ass. Don't forget to pull your head out first to make some room.
You're exactly right bitch. As said beautifully in a comedy classic -- "Fuck Canada".
If you want to do business in America you will not violate our laws and you will pay damages that you owe great pioneering Americans. Go cry to your Queen, as if she or anyone else can help.

The only screwup in this fiasco is RMI. They ahd an opportunity to settle but they thought they were smarter and bigger and could ignore NTP. They deserve to be obliterated as a result. This will teach those stupid Canadians to respect our authority. If they want to try this bullshit in Europe, go right ahead.
Bullshit. Patents are granted for non-obvious ideas. Implementation has nothing to do with the patent system. That's only a crutch for those who think the system doesn't apply to them.
RMI tried to play the patent game, they will in turn be burned by it. And I have no pity for them. They are obviously a dirty organization anyway as displayed by their joke of a defense during the trial. They deserve to be destroyed.

Oh, and by the way, NTP are bastards. I don't care about their cute little story. Nobody should be able to do a half-assed job and get hundreds of millions.
OOoooh, name-calling. I'm sure that will make them upset. They deserve the billions of dollars that they will ultimately receive. Their IP was violated. End of story. Any losers who cry about it should just kill themselves.
Of course they're going to blame their destruction on everyone else now but I dont feel sorry for them. They shouldn't have violated the patents, they shouldn't have lied about a workaround and they should have settled when they had a chance. I personally hope they are destroyed.
Uh, no. He is nothing like you. He has actually achieved something with his life.

Jobs, on the other hand (well, at least Apple with him at the helm), has had a much more lenient approach with DRM. Apple's DRM has typically been described as "the bare minimum to keep content providers happy",
By whom? please show me some links. And does it matter? Jobs is a good guy because his method of restricting my rights is not as bad as the next guy's? You nerds crack me up.
All penal code is based on an attempt to legislate morality. And since Google's own creed is based on not committing morality, I feel they should be held to a higher standard. If you're not going to live up to your own values, stop espousing them.
Whenever they can't compete, they'll find a way within their system to thwart the competition. They are a sad lot. Thankfully Britain doesn't have the same mentality.
Also a good point to note, is that with the advent of Satellite radio with no commercials, who's going to put up with radio for that much longer.
Exactly how much longer do you think Satellite radio will be commercial free? Cable started out the same way and now the only channels that are any different than over-the-air channels are the pure premium channels.
Satellite radio will surely go to this model,particularly if they're already paying Howard Stern millions upon millions. You don't think other radio personalities won't want a piece of the pie ?

The people that wrote the penal code seemed to believe this crime was worthy of jail time, so did the prosecutors and judge. Unless the governor pardons him, you have all branches of government on the same page.

While I tend to agree with you, as in I just do not watch tne sequels of classic's
Coming from someone who probably owns both Star Wars triologies.

The US can regulate companies incorporated in the US or doing business in the US.

Britain rejects the EU's socialist bearings. That's why Britain's economy outshines all of Europe's.

I don't recall my printer manufacturer putting rootkits on my computer.

Sorry. I don't care how cool it is. I will wait until a company I trust and respect (Apple) does something in this area.
We're moving everything to digital so there won't be any wires anywhere in the world.
