Even if it were somehow provably linked to genetics (then we'd all scream "correlation != causation"), I bet that within 50 years someone will invent a drug or operation that can change your orientation.

These data "plans" are absurd. Please start a few competing wireless data service companies that actually charge a fair price: pay for what you use. None of these 'unlimited' data lies, none of this "pay for each device that connects" crap, no throttling traffic types you deem 'less important', just let us pay for the bandwidth we use. Bonus points if you charge less during non-peak hours. Sure, studies have "shown" this is not an optimal business plan. But honestly, screwing customers is not a good business plan; if you screw your customers just a little less, you should be able to beat the competition.
Do Americans know that no one else in the world does this?
Well, us American slashdotters are very painfully aware. But I once (actually, twice to the same person) had to explain to a friend that I didn't need to pay for a data plan in order to use wifi on my smartphone. -_- I do not have high hopes for the general awareness of this country.
The problem for developers is that the GPLv2 applies itself to any application that makes use of covered code, which could arguably apply to any native Android application as the kernel headers are so universally applied.
This is the only sentence that actually "addressed" the "issue" that Android developers face. And it is utterly unexplained. What does this have to do with Google messing with those header files?
One time I asked an T-Mobile sales rep about their prepaid options. He told me prepaid was for people with bad credit who couldn't get a contract. -_- Another time I asked an AT&T store employee about buying an Android without a data plan. He told me that they don't sell them without data plans because without the plan it wouldn't work. -_- Sometimes I want to walk into such a store and say "look, I'm 30x as tech savvy as you. Give me the hottest Android you have, hold the contract, with a side of 25 gb prepaid data."
If anything it cuts off patent trolls because they can't keep inventions a secret
This may be my biased world-view, but generally, people who actually invent stuff first aren't the patent trolls. People who scramble to the USPTO trying to get dibs on someone else's invention, those are the patent trolls. First to file is the worst idea I've ever heard.
First to invent:
1) I invent something; too lazy/poor/busy to file a patent
2) someone else steals my idea; tries to file a patent for my invention
3) they fail because I was first to invent
First to file:
1) I invent something; too lazy/poor/busy to file a patent
2) someone else steals my idea; tries to file a patent for my invention
3) they win because they are first to file
How on earth does "first to file" live up to the IP clause?

game pacman ghosts = do draw pacman

There's some Haskell for ya. Now go define the initial pacman and ghosts, and the methods draw, chase, and follows
Well I tried, but it doesn't show the video for me. Work for anyone else? Stream Zenith Part 1 on bitlet
We need to start pushing harder for torrent video streaming. Now would be a good time to, say, put these up on bitlet.
Yeah, considering {1} and {1,2}, the latter is extraordinary compared to the first, because it is a superset.
Dear American entrepreneurs,

Yeah, looks like Chrome (10) finally caught up with IE (9). I mean seriously, IE is so web scale, but I guess Chrome is more web scale than IE now.

Why not isolate the trolls by showing their comments only to themselves, but not to other readers.

A1b doesn't make sense. You can't "own copyright to" a concept. You can own a patent or trademark to a concept.
If it was meant to say "the plaintiff didn't prove they owned the copyright to the images being sued over", then that's redundant with A1a.
This being said, I greatly appreciated your tl;dr
Yep. It's like twitter++
Legit or not, you gotta love the layout of that website. Someone should make a wordpress theme called "scam" that looks like that...
