I'm all for giving the finger to the 1% man, but do these protests have any real goal other than to just flip him off?
Are we expecting anything out of this, or are we seriously just flipping them off for a few weeks just to go back to our everyday lives?
Because that's going to do a whole lot of nothing, with the exception of helping the media outlets sell more stories...
Think about it for a moment, the goal of these loonies is to get as much attention as possible.
What better way to do that than by making that tweet with an iphone?
When you say vanilla, do you mean the image I got on the phone out of the box?
Because that's bogged down with all kinds of crap I don't need from verizon and HTC.
I'm usually too lazy to do things such as rooting, but this (along with a few other things) seriously make me want to get a custom ROM for my phone.
Any suggestions for an HTC incredible 2?
It's not as bad as McAfee's "Oh hey, that important system file, you're not using it right? *delete*"
One of my friends was at work for nearly 2 weeks straight after that fiasco.
You know, it's one thing to troll companies and other entities who's sole purpose is to make money off the backs of customers, but this is just...ugh...
He also added that they've captured screenshots of Scrolls' trailer as a way of showing how Mojang has copied Bethesda because both Skyrim and Scrolls contain mountains.
(Insert deity here) called, (s)he's going to sue both of you for using his/her mountains.
The word "lawful" and "unreasonable" are thrown around a lot in this like they're some kind of barrier.
You know as well as I that those on top can bend both the law and reason to their will.
Replace these words with the word "any", and when this happens, then it shall be "fixed"
Unless there is no blocking or discrimination of ANY content, this is not truly neutral.
For me personally, I make things myself when I cut costs by doing so. I couldn't care less if some other person did it for me if it was cheaper and of the same quality, however this is rarely the case.
Now Negus, who already as a new job as COO at Upstream Systems
If you get high enough up in a company, you can do whatever you want, get in whatever trouble you want, and some smaller company will always hire you.
Another recent(ish?) example I can think of is Mark Hurd from HP, Oracle immediately gave him a job.

You give him a computer and the internet, let him research away.
I already pay taxes when I shop at just about any online retailer, I don't want to pay ANOTHER tax.
Fuck off Tennessee.

You mean those new-fangeled things all the kids have these days? I must have left it at home again, sorry officer!
I'd be perfectly fine with that, in that case.

The energy crisis is solved for the 6th or 7th time this year.

I honestly thought "Elder scrolls" and "Oblivion" were two separate games until this lawsuit came up. I've always been terrible with names...
...Oh that's right, because popular vote doesn't matter.
See: 2000 election.

Hear that?
That's the sound of everyone at Valve torrenting this game.
1. It was a joke, sorry you didn't catch that.
2. The laptop equivalent of pulling a power cord would be to yank the battery.
What a shocker!
Windows has a fast shut down, it's called pulling the power.
There is not enough faces to smack palms onto in the entire world for what I just read.

Will it have more colors than just red and black? Because we all know how well that worked...
Sure, they'd hire 5000 new people, but how many would they fire from T-mobile in the process?
My money is on a good deal more than 5000.
