Don't blame the currency, USD are used widely in the illegal trade. We are not blaming the dollar. Regulation might be needed.

I think a key difference here is that there are plenty of legit ways to spend USD. There are probably more legitimate ways to spend USD than illegitimate. I'm sure there must be some legitimate way to spend a bitcoin, but I haven't seen any.
They need more effective DRM on the virus to prevent unauthorized copying. Stiff penalties also need to be applied to those who contract the virus without paying royalties.
If you have a messenger (of the court) drop the notice at the office its going to be very hard for them to claim otherwise
Kind of seems a bit extreme for $7.32 (assuming you just started a year long contract). You could also go the route of just hiring some other dirtbag (aka attorney) and taking it straight to court if money is no object.
Did you read the articles or the police report? She was mixing chemicals in a plastic bottle in the schoolyard near a gazebo. She was not in a science classroom, the science staff didn't know she was doing it. Her statement to the police was that a friend told her to do it, and she didn't know what the reaction would be! This wasn't a science experiment, it was a kid screwing around and doing something stupid; that is, she built and detonated a small explosive device at a school. What if she'd screwed up and caused a big explosion? I have to agree with GP; ggp is an idiot.
EA promises to do for Lucas Arts what Disney pledges to do for Lucasfilm.
This is following the lead established by McDonalds - and what they've done for beef.
Come on, man. You come off sounding like you think McDonalds has been bad for beef and people. Not only are they tasty, but McDonalds adds free mystery preservatives and free antibiotics! I ask, where else do you get something so valuable for free with a purchase? I will have you know I eat at least three double quarter pounders a day. They are delicious and full of protien. Some days, I go back for seconds or thirds if I need an extra energy boost and HNNNGH
It always annoys me how here, on slashdot, for nerds, we love technology and advances EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO BIOLOGY. Then it's nothing but "whatcouldpossiblygowrong" or GATTACA, or I am legend or zombies.
Why do you have to go ruin his misguided rant like that? A rant that was entirely entertaining to read. A rant that is already a part of his government documentation... Of course, despite the fact that all other information which can be gathered about a person already is; the incredibly intriguing tidbit discussed in this article probably won't be.
And Microsoft keeps demonstrating that they just don't get it, that no one seriously expect a tablet to be a PC, and that no one wants their PC to be a tablet.
I do. I wish a tablet could run everything my pc can and could also be used as a portable touch device when I didn't want the 30" monitor, kb and mouse. It would be a dream come true. Processor architecture, along with severe performance limitations inherent to tablet devices are both major roadblocks.
Are you seriously implying that touchscreen is the new, better method of input?
What exactly do you do on a computer? Im gonna guess its not
Writing proposals
Writing code
Doing financial work
Doing systems administration
Or anything, really, that involves rapidly moving data from your brain onto a computer. Or does the new Lightning connector have that capability built into it?
You don't need a keyboard to post cat videos with your iProduct.
Complying with company policy may be something as simple as using the term "person hours" instead of "man hours". I'm sure you can imagine a thousand similar examples in virtually any line of business.

The real problem is that the innovator who really stole all their ideas from other people, has failed to realize that their own User Interface has become a mature technology, as familiar to most people as "gas on the right, brake on the left" in a car.

Yes. A "for-profit entertainment business exists for the purpose of making profit. A public service organization exists to provide a public service. A for profit entertainment business might happen to also provide some public service if they think it will help them make more profit. A public service organization (if it isn't declared a nonprofit, which they tend to be) might happen to turn a profit but their main goal is providing a public service.
Man... living in your head must be terrible, in a world so full of daemons and enemies constantly conspiring against you. No wonder you are a bitter AC.
To my knowledge, both his assertions are accurate. One of them is supported by TFA.

Most of this stuff dates back to the Bush Jr. administration... But hey, go ahead and blame the black guy.
I think it's irrelevant. Bush and Obama are/were both on board with this program. In this regard they're equally evil.
Or how afraid of the government we really are
TBQO that's where I am.

And replaced with what? Folgers Crystals?
Well, the crystals wouldn't be any LESS effective. Why not?

Rad, dude!
Are so many people willing to just give out their information at less than a drop of a hat these days?
In a word; yes. It's definitely a tiny (albeit vocal) minority who even give it a second thought.
I'm a proctologist. No need to see where the noise is coming from.
Get your hands out of my ass!
I wish some company would just sell a phone with cyanogen on it stock.

no, i said "i fucking hate fucking touchpads"
That might be the problem. They're for controlling your mouse pointer, not sex.
Excellent, if there's any other rapists hiding from the law I hope Slashdot lets us know when he releases promotional material on his website.
I heard there was one in Lincoln Park.
I bet Bradley Manning can measure it.

I'm hoping we can get the pythons to eat the snails.
Good idea! We could then get the tourists to eat the pythons! The foot chain - revised!
