The problem with this stance is that they tend not to keep their batshit crazy ideas within their own borders. It seems they seek to export their "peaceful" religion to all parts of the world, just like the silly x-ians do on a less aggressive scale. The heart of the problem is an irrational belief.
No, it smells more like a pretentious hipster douche-bag. Like B.O., a tall half-cap-mocha-chino with fair trade organically grown beans, and Patchouli oil, with a hint of too tight jeans and horn rim glasses.
No one is asking AT&T to track down the phones, just to stop re-licensing them to the theives. Also, you can't purchase a car from the DMV, but most people usually buy their phones from an AT&T retailer. You're really making a false equivocation.
That is why a police report is filed. If the information about a stolen phone is good enough for a police report then it should be good enough for AT&T. Their truculence is merely a matter of profiteering on stolen merchandise.
I don't know if that is poetic justice as I think that him trying to expose an illegal practice and unethical staff as being a source of injustice needing to be corrected via an apt or ironic punishment. Just saying.
I choose to be irrational on the side that keeps my kids from getting the pertussis and dying a horrible painful death of a perfectly preventable cause.
Vaccination does not guarantee immunity, but it does strengthen it. The only guarantee I have to make sure my kids don't get sick is to keep them away from the disease which is mostly carried by unvaccinated kids. Exactly where is the logical flaw in that?
You are more than welcome to not vaccinate your kids, just don't let your disease carrying rats near my kids. When it comes to the health and safety of my children I'll use ad hominem attacks and faulty logic to keep them safe.
The logic is as follows:
Douche-bags are more concerned with their own silly ideals than their kids health and safety,
Only people more concerned with their own silly ideals don't vaccinate their kids,
Therefore only Douche-bags don't vaccinate their kids.
Yeah but a lot of the time people don't kill other people because of the evidence trail, or just sheer inconvenience of it. If it was as easy as hitting a "run" button on your smartphone, people might not be so hesitant. The fear of being caught keeps a lot of people honest and if people didn't have that fear, how honest would people really be in today's society? I doubt that i'd have the restraint at, say, a westboro protest or a teaparty rally.
I completely agree, if this gets in the wild what would stop some sociopathic miscreant from sitting outside of a wal-mart or whatever and randomly assassinating people using their insulin pumps. I don't think profit has to be a factor in the equation when the human animal is involved and a persons death is the end result.
The problems started when we deregulated this industry. The smart meter debacle is just another symptom of a system that is rotten to the core. Where I live, power rates were heavily affected by the Enron fueled energy crisis and the rates have scarcely dropped since they were artificially driven up. Year after year the power company has been asking for $0.20 rate hikes because they know they can talk the PUC into giving them at least half of what they want. All the while claiming to be losing money while the parent company of the utility is making record profits.
If the Utilities were regulated then they might have to spend a little more on the secure tech instead of the cheapest crap available. They would have a more vested interest in it since their single motivating factor is to provide service instead of to make as much money as possible.
I'm not entirely sure they that everyone involved in the uprising wanted Sharia. I think mostly they saw the islamists as an alternative to being in bed with the western governments. The sad truth is they are going to find out how fun a theocracy can be.

French vocabulary stopped after they developed the word "abandonner"
It sounds to me like they have a monopoly and need to be broken up and have their patents redistributed.

You sir have hit the nail square on the head.
The logic is as follows:
Newton was also an alchemist so I don't think that everything he said can be taken as an absolute truth.
Newton wasn't a christian so he wasn't on your side my friend.
Religious fundamentalism is destroying everything
Good bye crazy douche-bag, you will not be missed.

No, I think this means that Bill Gates is going to have the original Netscape documents delivered to his house so he can wipe is ass with them.
The majority of NPR funding is not actually from government sources, but private underwriting and donations.
This was the point I was more or less trying to make, thanks for clarifying. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Having been married for plenty of years myself, I have to tell you that you're doing it wrong.

Well god gave you free will so you couldn't use it after all, that is what the bible teaches at any rate.
That looks like junk science and paranoia exemplified. Exactly like wifi allergies.
