I've experienced it myself once, while trying to sing 'still alive' on one breath from a helium balloon. I recognised it, and immediatly inhaled air. Yes, it is actually pleasant.
Gates still holds a lot of Microsoft stock, but that's all that's left of his relationship with the company, and he isn't in it for the money any more. He seems determined to give a lot of that money away. I think he might be trying to atone for past sins as a business tyrant.
Input speed. Entering text on a tablet is just painful. The reduced precision from the use of squishy fat fingers also makes fine graphical work difficult. They are great for web browsing, video watching, reading... consuming content. But actually creating anything more than a sentence long is impractical.
What use is an event system on another social network, when all the event-throwers are on facebook? It's a perfect network effect: People use facebook because people use facebook.
If you ever want out, do something offensive to the wafer and wine. That is one of the most serious offenses it is possible to commit under catholic law - it's so serious, excommunication is instant and automatic. Make sure to do it in front of the priest, for his reaction should be quite something to watch.
The prime's dock is different from the transformer original. It's thinner and lighter, though according to reviews this does come at the expense of feeling flimsier.
It's just the classic intimidation method of law enforcement. You can't catch them all, so you just catch a couple, and them utterly destroy their lives in order to make a public example of them. Then that example serves to scare other potential criminals straight.
There's an advert for Go Compare, a car insurance comparison site in the UK, which has people across the nation running for the remote and the mute button. The person who sings in it has received death threats. Even has his own hate page on facebook.
Such a tool was actually ruled illegal in the US, prior to 2005. Then congress passed a law, the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act, to overturn the court decision and thus make 'parential controls' legal, under pressure from the pro-family crowd and a sympathetic group of republicans. Including Hatch.
But, being a Hatch bill, it also increased the penalty for noncommercial copyright infringement with a three year jail sentence if the work infringed was not yet published for public distribution. Ten years for repeat infringement... and that in addition to all of the already-existing civil and criminal penalties.
Just a little harsher, and they can start on the executions.
There's an old quote from the late 1800s where someone grumbled that Christmas seemed to start earlier every year - so early, they said, that barely has december started than Christmas takes over. Christmas today starts at the beginning of October, when the first advertising starts. So that's an advancement of two months per century. Extrapolating wildly, that means by the year 2500 Christmas will be in effect continually.
Or else some attempt to combine the socialist economic princibles with constitutional limitations on government non-economic power and independant oversight of all government activity by both the press and any interested members of the public. That route still holds some promise. There is even a viewpoint that such a thing may one day be the only way forward as continued advances in automation technology may cause the unintentional collapse of the labor market upon which free-market economies are built.
We put it differently, but reach the same conclusion. Marx believed that the people comprising that government would all be idealists, who went into politics out of a desire to help their fellow men, and would strive to their full ability to better the lives of those they govern. A childish naiveity. Real politicians are selfish bastards who'll do whatever they can to increase their own wealth and power, and any real idealists either get crushed by those willing to pay dirty or have to give in and join the power games.

Now try that in a noisy classroom or cube farm with everyone talking at once.

I get the impression you read Atlas Shrugged a few too many times.

The Nigel. Every school, university and most workplaces have one.
We have the darknets ready to run.
Send your PGP-encrypted message over gmail, of course.
Clone is probably easier, technologically, because you don't have to worry so much about speed.
1. Remove fresh brain. This obviously kills the subject, but that's acceptable to me. Plenty of people would die to live forever.
2. Slowly lower the brain into liquid nitrogen. You want it stabilised before the neurological damage sets in, and cryonics is the obvious way.
3.Let your futuretech nano-disassemblers pick it apart cell-by-cell over the course of months, documenting as they go.
If they drive off a third of their users but double the income-per-user in the process, that's still a net win for them.
If facebook went down for more that thirty seconds, we'd all have heard about it. Are you trying to connect at work?

He is actually a serious opera singer, too - not just an actor in a silly costume. I don't know what drove him to lower himself this far.
I prefer to hijack their hijack.
Yarrr!
Is it acceptable for people to be elitist if they really *are* better than the general population?

Add a zip-lock bag and I use it for reading in the bath.

Same basic thing, really. Different means, same end.
