We don't import electricity from china and india goddamnit. In fact, the US grain belt FEEDS those countries. Try again. Our grain export this year is expected to be 88 million tonnes. The soybean exports are expected to be 131 million tonnes. The US grain belt accounts for 33% of foreign food consumption. http://mfu.org/node/786 We feed those goddamned billions of people. We need to fucking stop.
Or I could get what I want immediately, exactly the way I want it, and then make a donation to the firestation management committee.
Your comment is puzzling. You say that I would not "allow" the courts to give Apple a 'legal punch in the chin', as if arson would suddenly mean that a fictional lawsuit between two fictional establishments would theoretically cease because one building was destroyed. Next you posit a course of action as an alternative to terrorism, as if the arson was in fact terrorism. In order for this mythical arson to be terrorism the fictional arsonist would have to use the crime as a publicized action with which to garner political attention. Your comment also mentions damage to citizens, which was not mentioned in the parent comment. You believe that the poster of the parent comment has a fanatical view of terrorism, although the subject does not encapsulate terrorism. You also fail to be objective in your interpretation of other people's standpoints regarding crime as a political lever, indicating that your own standpoint is irriversably polarized, which distorts your interpretation of the parent comment on a neutral basis. Your solution involves donating to the EFF, which is inefficient because it disallows the control the of the donation currency management. Also, I've never heard of recreational arson referred to as a religious experience, but it's nice to know how close you hold it to your heart. You need therapy. Without it, you will be stuck in Portland unable to properly converse with other citizens, and you will not become a role model for Liam.
"That's a classic big-company mistake - failing to run the cash cow properly, while management is distracted with the shiny new stuff."
Which is where the social engineering of Schmidt's comments become clear. By saying he was busy with the internal problems, he covers his ass from shareholder flak. He apologizes for a mistake, and then shields himself from the other side of the argument at the same time. Pretty clever, and worded so you don't notice that he is revealing Google's massive management weakness. What, does he have a team of people writing his conference speeches for him?
"as anonymous as they think they are" As a bunch of 15 year olds using the same proxy to look at 4chan, I'm guessing their true anonymity is quite non-existent. On a related note, how would one go about actually being 'anonymous' on the internet? I don't think you can get 100% safety.
Thanks, I never understood what was going on. That explains how I can buy laptops with Windows on them when the price of the machine is less than the list price for the operating system...
You didn't have to use IE for web browsing though, I never understood how people got bent out of shape about that. One day I tried firefox, it was better, and that was the end of it. How fucking hard is that? What the fuck is the big deal? What are we going to do next, tell Toyota that they can't bundle steering wheels with their cars, because you should be able to use a Ford one instead? The browser pick list solution is like buying a camry with dodge, chevy, ford, hyundai, nissan and ford steering wheels and you have to pick which one you want when you get the car, throwing the others away. It makes no sense, if I wanted parts I would use my existing steering wheel to get them. How the fuck is that a crime?
There is nothing the iPhone does for me that even a samsung sch90 flip-phone could not do for me in 2005, please step away from the iCrack pipe.
Calls? Texts? Media Texts? Pictures? Video? Flash for photos and videos? Syncable Calender? Reminder Alarms? Contacts List? Bluetooth? Flash Card? E-mail? Web? Music? Verizon TV Player? Games? All yes. The iPhone is a superficial and shallow status symbol, nothing more.
I love the classic 'my girlfriend has facebook but i dont' safety argument. Never works. My gf is always asking me what I did during the day, just to see if it matches up with posts from my friends who do have facebook so she can create a little map of where i was that day. Psycho bitch.
Hold on a sec, is the FAA shutting down if they don't figure this out? My grandfather has to fly home to Massachusetts from Texas on Saturday. Would he be stuck there? Serious question, because he really can't support himself if he gets stuck out there.....

I'm sorry but if Apple sued by home-town savings bank I would bomb the nearest 10 apple stores. Ruthlessly.

Don't feel bad, I am 23 and I thought the same thing. I next assumed KPN was a 'dutch provider' of publishing services for magazines.

Yeah except IE is free....so good luck with that greed theory.
There is no focal point. The walls of the tower are covered in water pipes that go to a steam drum.
Yeah but how do the police link a citizen to a E-mail account? Is it easy enough to make snooping worthwhile?
