It's great that they're getting hit for this, but who exactly is going to get that money?
Somehow, I doubt those effected will see a dime, and lawyers and government stooges are going to get it.
Justice for all my damn foot, why don't more people attack that part of the pledge?
I don't know why social media sites (facebook, twitter) think they can do whatever they want without any backlash.
Myspace thought the same thing, and look where they are now.
Just because you're on top today, doesn't mean you will be tomorrow.
And yes, I'm just pissed because you KNOW the US government is going to dip its fat fingers into this.
Hopefully that'll bring this BS to an end, along with ending the jobs of the officers that continue to pull this stunt.
Is getting a search warrant on someone really that time consuming?
T-rays are a lot like EHF (extremely high frequency), which is used by millimeter wave scanners in airports, medical imaging, and emerging wireless networking standards like WiGig — but stronger, faster, and more detailed. Where EHF radiation can see through your clothes, T-rays can penetrate a few millimeters of skin.
So, where as the body scanners at airports will give you cancer, this thing will give you SUPER CANCER.
What happens if a similar service, like Dropbox, gets shut down
Except your dropbox files are also stored on your computer locally. So if the service dies, the only thing that breaks is the public link/the server side copy.
If you're going to use a comparison to a "similar service", at least use a good comparison, like rapidshare or sendspace.
Hmm, I suppose. But I'm looking from the perspective of computer monitors.
More and more, I'm seeing VGA less and less, and seeing VGA -> DVI adapters packed in.
On the same token, the MAC (mini? I don't remember exactly what it was) I bought...3 years ago? To work on iPhone games only had DVI ports.
I do agree on some of your points though, i've yet to see a laptop or a projector with a DVI port.
I can MAYBE see VGA disappearing, but DVI is going to be here for awhile longer.
Yet another hardly thought out "Oh my God the times are changin'" article.
If I give you money, fuck off, the game is mine.
If you say otherwise, then I'm going to pirate it.
That way, we both agree that the game isn't mine, but I'm playing it anyway.
So, more standardized testing that does absolutely nothing to actually prepare you for college?
If I was still in school, the only reason I'd try to switch over to this one is if they cut that BS.
Is internet access a right? Hell no.
Should the ability to get said access without the government or any other giant asshole entity filtering the shit out of it? Fuck yes.
The Senators are also warning that Google is only facing one real competitor (PDF), Microsoft's Bing.
That's like saying the only competition Country Time Lemonade has is that kid selling lemonade on the street corner, which may or may not have come from a bottle of Country Time Lemonade to begin with.
I've seen this problem so many bloody times (and I've had to clean it up a handful of times), it's because marketing goes out and promises big when they don't really have a clue about what their product even is.
Fire the sales guy(s) that sold them the product, and have people who actually understand which end is up fix the problem.

As long as they don't tell my boss what kinds of porn I'm looking up at work on my phone, I couldn't care less. ;P

"college preparation"

And having an entire party circling around breaking certain laws isn't?
Oh wait, no, that's pretty much all political parties, never mind.
I thought NASA created a worm hole of sorts and was going to open source that.
This news is much less exciting ):
Skip to 3:20 for the cat punch.

Furthermore, California's Celebrity Rights Act in 1985 protects a celebrity's personality rights up to 70 years after their death."
Great for you California, so they can't be sold in your state. But that doesn't mean the rest of the world abides by this law.
Are 'good' viruses a bad idea?
McAfee, Norton, AVG, etc have built businesses around good viruses.
Do you need it? No.
Guess what? You don't need that "dumb" phone either.
Nor that computer you used to write this.
All you "need" is food and water, everything else is just gravy.
I see it as amusingly dirty.

Mozilla denied the request, arguing that this type of censorship may threaten the open Internet.
With all the BS that's coming out of Mozilla these days, glad to see they still can do some things right.
I'd say 25 is a bit late, but oh well.
Also, the young and impressionable have parents for a reason.
Lets be honest, even with this being passed, does anyone honestly believe ads?
No amount of or lack of photoshop is going to change my mind here...
