Regardless of how terrible it went it didn't have any effect on Glass Steagall and it is dishonest to say that "Reagan did it" considering it was a bipartisan bill with bipartisan support. He's responsible for signing it, just like Clinton is responsible for signing Glass Steagall, but that doesn't nullify the responsibility of the parties that created it and supported it
The 1st amendment protects you from the government, not from private entities. I didn't know that Sony was making people slaves, though. The problem you have is with the government infringing on your rights, not Sony. Sony is acting in compliance with the law.
The Republican Congress in the 80s under Reagan found that Glass Steagall was useful and resisted the banking industry lobby that wanted it repealed. Gutted by Clinton and congressional Republicans(with major Democratic support). The Garn-St Germain act(savings and loan deregulation) was narrow and had broad bipartisan support. I wouldn't say S&L dereg undermined Glass Steagall at all(Congress reaffirmed its support in Glass-Steagall after S&L dereg), and Reagan approved increasing the amount the FDIC insured early on
My $15 Starbury hightops have lasted me for 4 years.
My $10 Starbury lowtops lasted 1 year
My Born leather dress shoes have lasted 7 years(I have black and brown)
Unity sucks. Tablet interface on a PC? No thanks. Hell, it's made to be friendly on small form factors like netbooks and I can't stand it on mine. It takes up permanent space and reduces horizontal viewing size rather than vertical. Realistically, for a touchscreen interface it's nice. For a mouse interface it's balls.
Until Google goes war-dialing(or war-driving, I guess) on the down-low to index and store all of your personal information and doesn't tell anyone about it until it blows up in their face in the media
Meanwhile, volatility goes down and focus on longer term investments than milliseconds goes up. Both are good for the market considering what we've seen these past few years. The cutting edge of technology isn't always beneficial to people or even countries(as I'm sure Mubarak is saying right now).
Slacker radio is one of the best as far as I'm concerned.
Personally, SomaFM is what I use for streaming, as it suits my needs for music that can play in the background while coding/gaming/whatevering. I only listen to actual music on the road, and I don't stream that.
Back in the day they were progs/proggies. Search the archives of Geocities, Angelfire, Tripod, Fortunecity, etc for "progs", "proggies", "AOL progs", etc. Bunch of kids writing random crap in VB3/VB4
You're surprised that something written by Neal Stephenson has an odd, unsatisfying conclusion ? Everything written by him ends that way(and sometimes with statutory rape)
Sony e-readers use the established "open" format, ePub, while the Kindle does not. And Sony has a larger library of compatible books because of it. There is more than the Amazon store. Barnes and Noble uses ePub, Sony's store uses ePub, Project Gutenberg uses ePub, ePubbooks.com uses ePub(obviously), etc.
As far as butthurt because they said that the PS2 could do Toy Story and the PS3 would be worth $700, who cares? The market played that out. The PS2 kicked ass and first gen PS3s(the most expensive ones) are the most desirable on the secondary market.
Yea, rootkit was bad, but that's gone and done. Let it go. Take off the tinfoil hat.
I play plenty of old games. I never update it. It never tries to automatically update. Only when games require the update to be run must you do that, and for most games, especially older ones, that isn't necessary(other than the necessary version to initially run the game).

You mean all that social activism shit? I'd rather play CS than worry about some groups vendetta. Life's too short
Who the hell is HBGary? Some schmuck from Huntington Beach? Is that his Slashdot handle?
A company isn't obligated to provide service. No rule of law says that a company must provide service to something they disagree with.

It is perfectly ethical and scrupulous under utilitarianism ethical values.

except for the increase in bandwidth caps, rising rates, etc. You're going to need a lot of nails for that coffin
Difficulty: FIOS not broken out
Actually I was thinking that Intel shouldn't speak because they wouldn't be alive, or at least in their current market position, without Microsoft
Because?

Air gapping it might be inconvenient, but it will make the market a whole lot better for you and me
No one said you couldn't sell your account with your books on it. It's the same way people go about selling things in MMOs and on Steam
I don't want Minority Report UI. I want the Earth Final Conflict UI(and device). Hell, it was sponsored by Sprint even IIRC

I preferred when it was "prog" instead of "app". App is what you call an applet
