As much as I agree with your post, the people who will make that happen will be us, the buyers, for putting up with their bullshit. They can't fund this without us.
Yes, all the costs of running the store: employees, insurance, rent, product sitting on the shelves, shipping the product to the store. Not that people buy online for environmental reasons anyway; I figure it's for availability, cost, and convenience.
Sorry, I play games regularly from every era (though I don't have the latest systems yet): The Legend of Zelda (NES), Super Metroid (SNES), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1), God of War (PS2), Metroid Prime (GameCube). I enjoy each very much. I'm sure there are a good games for the current systems as well, I just haven't got the time or money to get any more systems.
This is what T-Mobile is doing, as I understand it. They're removing particular data from their private network, rather than going on to someone else's and removing it without permission. They aren't trying to stop people from passing these particular messages between each other, merely refusing to carry such messages on their own network.
Yeah, no need to call the guy a troll. I just opened the FTP link and at first it just showed an empty directory. After refreshing, it showed a bunch of files. So he probably ran into this issue. What's up with the Troll mod these days, anyway? Seems it's applied to anything the mods have even a slight problem with, rather than a person posting something to intentionally cause trouble.
Because people leave long stupid voice messages, you can read a text message in a noisy environment and a little bit at a time, re-read it very quickly (compare with going through a voice mail menu). And this is coming from someone who's never had a cellphone, and has no plans on getting one.
So do we use the same term for Bob deciding not to have any Christian books in his own home as we use for Tom removing Bob's atheism books without permission? I had always thought that censorship referred only to the the serious latter situation, but people here say it applies as well to Bob deciding what books to have in his house. That waters the term down so much that it's hardly even notable that someone is practicing censorship. Most topics on Wikipedia's censorship page cover the serious cases, so the contributors there seem to agree with me, not that they are necessarily right either.
Yep; pirated software competes with free software. If for example Microsoft somehow eliminated all piracy of Windows and their flagship programs, free software would see a lot of new users. Similar applies here; the pirated SDK is good enough for many people, so there's little push for a legal one.
I understood it to help them by eliminating jobs, thus encouraging people to move elsewhere so that the island population decreased. That way there are fewer people so that any reduction in above-water land wouldn't be as much of a problem. Repeat until everyone's moved off the islands.
So it's censorship if the owner of private property exerts control over what information flows through his property, either electronic or physical? I just fail to see how that's a useful definition, because every property owner does this in one way or another. Anyway, if we adopt that definition, what do we use to refer to someone suppressing information that's being published/communicated using someone else's private property? For example, Tom going over to Bob's house and destroying all his books about atheism, or the government doing likewise.
In that case, it's also a violation of someone else's property rights if he's doing the communicating on his own property (in public, I'm not sure what it'd classify as). And I think censorship would be fairly apt. But that's not what's happening here; here it's a private carrier saying it won't carry particular messages over its private network. If that's censorship, then I'm censoring everyone by refusing to carry their messages through my home network and property.
And I love how my original post was marked troll. If the downmodders had their way, the word "censorship" would mean anyone who didn't propagate their messages wherever they wanted. What word would we then use for the much more serious case of the government using force to prevent its citizens from expressing themsleves using their own property?
It wouldn't be censorship. That was my only point. I didn't say anything about it being a problem. There are plenty of problematic things that don't fall under the label of censorship.
Also, for those saying it is not censorship because it is not the government....no. Just no.
That's what gives censorship its problematic character: the government is preventing you from expressing yourself. Private entities are under no obligation to allow you to use their resources for your own expression. This is not to say that blocking text messages on a whim isn't a problem, just that it's not censorship. We have other words in the language besides censorship to describe things we don't like.
Unless T-Mobile is now run by the government, blocking text messages isn't censorship. The messages run over their private networks, so they are free to pass or block them.
Haha! Why put the weight of motors and pumps on the craft?
If the tubes run up from the ground, they could just as well pump the fuel up from a ground station.
Duh, it's solar powered. If the pumps were on the ground, you'd have to run long wires up to the craft to connect to the solar panels. That'd add even more weight, and you'd lose a lot of power due to wire resistance.
If they're going to handle the peer review process automatically, the artificial intelligence that makes the decisions needs to be improved.
Someone submitted a paper showing that this was necessary, but for some reason the AI never sent out any review requests, so the paper never got approved.

I call it a PC. My own private cloud computer.

See grand-grand-... parent post. None of it was serious.

Obviously the guy should have just filed a report and been done with it. Oh, wait...

Simple, it will use solar power to run motors that pump jet fuel up long tubes that run from the ground.

Didn't you read the press re.. story? Their Skyhook product is superior! Nobody would use anything else unless forced.
