It's probably rooted in the fact that American commercials shown overseas won't produce any revenue. I despise Hulu because I pay monthly for service and still get commercials...and the interface sucks compared to NetFlix.
...and that will never happen until the media loses the bias and report the good, the bad, and the ugly. Unfortunately, the media have reported the news that fit their respective agendas which let the politicians know they could get away with stuff.
I don't see how politicians think a tablet/laptop/computer/ebook reader will make students better. Our students are getting worse because of the pervasive attitude that's it's not cool to be good in school. We need to change this perception and reward students who try really hard and/or do well in school...right now it looks like they're just throwing money at a problem to see if it helps and it also seems like they're helping out one of their buddies who's benefitting from this ludicrously expensive lease plan.
Right, but if the public demands a certain type of music and is more interested in that requirement being satisfied, who are we to say they need something else because it's better technical quality? Look who's complaining...it's not the public, it's the industry that's being impacted so they are trying to sway opinion back to them (e.g. to make more money).
The public determined what "quality" meant. Kind of like how the PS2 lives on after a decade of service or how DVDs are still king (for now). Good enough quality plus convenience are what matter.
If "professional" musicians can't get people to purchase their music and people instead purchase some "inferior" music isn't that "inferior" music actually superior because it's what people want? It might not be produced in an expensive lab/studio but it's what people want...who cares what label the creators have?
Politicians seem willing to do anything and work hard to further their political careers...too bad they don't want to further our nation and its people's lives.
Yup...that's part of the reason I refuse to join facebook...heck, I bet the US Government (and others) are mining the crap out of facebook in search of terrorists.
Well, if one kook says it's bad then it must be bad. It'll be harder to indoctrinate kids if they don't go to public schools and their liberal state-controlled lessons, but they've managed to contaminate and alter textbooks enough so it's hard to avoid their idealistic progressive teachings.
If we make war clean and tidy then where is the motivation to avoid it? The Star Trek episode, "A Taste of Armegeddon" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Taste_of_Armageddon) portrays two planets who've been at war for centuries. It was really "modern" where planets would launch simulated attacks which caused no collateral damage and computers would calculate the death toll. "Victims" were then calculated and selected via lottery. They'd report to the disintegrators for a painless death. It was so "humane" that the planets never had any motivation to end the war.
My point is that we should allow anything in war with the knowledge that the more horrific the weapon the more prompt and determined the response to it by the rest of the world.
It seems not spelling words correctly, misusing words, and poor grammar are so common our language will be forever changed. I see this on TV shows, magazines, newspapers, etc. The other day they were talking on a news show about how teachers in a school district won't correct mistakes on student's homework so long as they explain why they answered the way they did. I for one am sick of this culture of "nobody's wrong, we're all right, we're all winners." It's not going to help our society and will destroy us in the long run.
This is horrible for many reasons: one login means easy access to all gov't sites to FUBAR someone's life, presents a juicy target for hackers, is "racist" (using Democrats own language about voting ID cards and how they discriminate vs poor), and with NAA buffoonery who wants to trust the US government to not use this for some nefarious reasons. It will start off with gov't sites then be mandated for all other sites akin to Facebook login. Not a fan...
Not sure how you don't think NBC and CNN both airing complimentary movies promoting Hillary while ignoring the ugly facts that would detract from her isn't partisan. I for one am happy the GOP got a pair and did this...screw NBC and CNN. Hillary has done little to warrant being President.
It still amazes me that people believe politicians are actually going to do what they promise while campaigning. The only way to objectively look at a candidate and what they might do if elected is to see what they did in their most previous office.
Fantastic, then the NSA can monitor where we go, where we stop, and if we change the oil on schedule. If we are "suspected of being a terrorist" the CIA can direct our car over a cliff, into a fireworks stand, or into a farming combine to make it look like an accident.
I'm only here cuz I the article mentioned a squirrel.
First it's for national security, then it's revealed the DEA has it's own methods to spy on Americans sans warrant. The Constitution was put in place to limit the government...politicians can do whatever they want but they absolutely cannot decide not to comply with the Constitution. Don't they swear to uphold and defend it when they take office or are their fingers crossed?

It'd be nice to see people in high government office actually treat our tax dollars with the respect they deserve and realize they are limited.

There are devices you can buy that do the same thing but they are called "jammers" and are illegal in the USA (http://www.jammer-store.com/).
Or "you're" a moron...I promise never to make another grammatical or spelling correction on /. but you picked the wrong thread to make your mistake in.
At least we're not stupid and stinky...

NSA, not NAA.

Fox is biased to the right somewhat but they aren't bowing to the left like MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS are.

I just watched it on AMC's web site the next day.

Nice rant, but you do nothing to counter the argument and nobody will be able to.
