    Someone who wants to damage the world would probably be very happy with that notion.

    When does the consumer model come out?

    As far as I can tell (haven't read TFA OR TFS so if anyone knows other wise please correct me) this CarrierIQ software is installed on blackberries as well.

    Depends on the judge you get, I think. And from the looks of things, most of the higher level judges tend to favor corporations over people.

    If every single Android phone is already communicating with this IP then I would imagine it's a pretty robust server.

    You can't say "simple" and "flashing a new build of Android" in the same sentence.

    Not necessarily. Some people can handle that little sleep for extended periods. I used to be able to (not anymore, though).

    There are several solutions for taking care of CO2, but most of them are not economically viable.

    shut the door on inflated corporate profits and bring the jobs back home,

    How do you think this should be done? Not trolling, genuinely curious.

    Did cars used to have innertubes back in the day? They don't now...

    Pretty sure GP was talking about work, not life. If your work is routine, simple, and repetitive, then yes, you can be replaced by a machine. if your life is, then you can probably also be replaced by a machine but I don't know if there is any economical reason to do so.

    Your implication is that people who are poor should not be able to afford those things. And you're right, they can't. They are behind on their car payments, and their house payments, and maybe even their cell and cable. Nowadays just because someone has something doesn't mean they can afford it or will have it a few months down the road.

  15. Re:And your proposal? on Why America Doesn't Need More Tech Giants Like Apple · · Score: 1

    So Japan has been in a 20 year recession despite having below 5% unemployment? That's very interesting, considering that the attitude in the US for many people is "just create jobs and the recession will take care of itself!". Mayhaps we need to rethink that.

    In ancient Rome towards the end they would only allow foreign troops inside Rome to prevent coups and popular uprisings from having a sympathetic or communicative military...

    Of course in Rome that only happened about 200 times...

    That's a good point. A president can't institute a draft without a formal declaration of war from congress though, which can hamper their ability to invade other countries.

    Mind explaining what an SME is? Google can't find a good definition of it.

    If it has to do with electrical fields, won't that affect carrier pigeons as well (or is that magnetic)?

    One of my younger cousins does this too. I don't think he's ever properly spelled a single word over three letters. Sometimes I wonder if he's entirely sober while typing.
