No, then it would be mail fraud, of course. US law treats the two pretty much the same, however; both are defined in Title 18 of the US Code, mail fraud in Section 1341, wire fraud in Section 1343.
The bureaucrat who approves in-flight device use might get fired the next time a plane crashes, even if it turns out in the end that it had nothing to with device use.
The bureaucrat who refuses to approve in-flight device use almost certainly *won't* get fired because of his decision.
To say "the Surface has been a bitter disappointment" lumps two completely different pieces of hardware into the same bucket.
Microsoft has no one to blame for this but themselves. They're the ones who decided to call them both by the same name. The confusion engendered by this has contributed to the sales problem, as a matter of fact.
For bits, yes. For atoms, it's been much easier, because of the resources needed to duplicate intellectual property that is embodied in actual matter. But with 3D printing, atoms are becoming more like bits.
A better comparison than you realize. By not calling it a taxi service, they get out from under the onerous regulation of taxis that is present in almost every major city. SUVs are classified as light trucks by federal regulation, meaning that they are regulated more lightly than station wagons, particularly their gas mileage.
People will never forget how they had Final Fantasy VII and threw it away. Everything the Playstation did, they could've done instead, but they decided not to. And as successful as the Nintendo 64 was, the Playstation was massively more successful.
Except the new toll roads being put up don't take cash. If you don't have the little "track me" device you have to pay by credit card, or simply accept that they'll photo your license plate and bill you a much higher rate by mail.
Actually, he wasn't refusing to *confess*, he was refusing to *plead* (guilty or not guilty). Because if he didn't plead, they couldn't try him, and if they couldn't try him, they couldn't convict him, and if they didn't convict him his property couldn't be confiscated. He figured he was dead already but this way his family wouldn't have to live in poverty. An amazing man, Giles Corey was.
Actually, he has a point about Ford. William Clay Ford Jr. is the Chairman of the Board, and there are two more Fords on the board. What's more, although the Ford family only owns a small fraction of the outstanding stock, they own all of the Class B stock, which controls 40% of the stockholder votes, giving them effective control.

"Too many people had figured out how to configure a host firewall, so we had to change it all around again."
Yes, it is. This is not a good thing. The film industry lost their soul long ago.
But I love that webcomic!

Money aside, a Nobel *cannot* be award posthumously. It's one of the rules.

It's that simple.

Does anybody who understands the interface use Gnome any more?
...explaining to the public why they can't have these things anymore.

To maintain the taxi companies' profits.
It is a taxi service. They're calling it something else so it doesn't get strangled by the cartel-based rigid regulation of taxis.

Make a cellular peptide cake, with mint frosting?
Wilford Brimley is pleased, and hopes he won't get diabeetus.

And I don't think anybody has forgotten Goldeneye 007 on the 64.

Ah yes, who will ever forget the great tycoon Bob Microsoft.
