Because for that price, I can build my own rig that can do everything I want and more. Throw in another $10 and I can put some office chair wheels on it, and BAM, it's mobile.
*wooooooooosh*
The point was that they could get someone else to input codes for them. Doesn't have to necessary be someone they pick on, a friend would work too.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the US government pressing its ISPs to retain data for/2 years/ a week or so ago?
And now it's telling another country not to do it for more than one?
Geez, the hypocrisy just doesn't have an off switch in our government.
"Hey Dexter, I got this GPS thing I have to keep inputting to. Put the codes in for me while I skip school again and I won't beat you up for the next week."
...what kind of classified information does Canada have worth stealing? I could understand the US, which has its grubby little fingers in everything behind locked doors, but Canada?
Obama, while you're out making unreasonable demands, can you demand companies stop shipping my jobs off to India? Perhaps demand CEOs give up their bonuses and instead give their workers a raise, or hire new ones. Or even better, why don't you demand that everyone in the US government stop acting like children.
I have a "dumbphone" so that my work/family can contact me in an emergency situation regardless of my location. Any other feature a Smartphone has my computer does as well, and it can wait until I get home.
Having a twitter or facebook doesn't indicate a level of intelligence. Are you saying companies like zynga are idiots? As they are probably rolling in more money than they know what to do with. I know an indie musician who has both a twitter and a facebook, and he's gained quite a few fans (and it turn quite a bit of cash) through both services. The fact is these services are just tools, in the hands of a good mind they can do wonders. In the hands of the masses, it's just another shiny object to poke at.
...that's sadly still no excuse. My cousin recently became a teacher, and had to delete pretty much his entire online identity (or at least, the ones the school system knows about, like facebook, twitter, myspace, etc), as the school had warned him that stuff like this can and will happen, and they would rather avoid it.
Apple will continue to put a new one of these out every 6 months, and tell you that you absolutely must have it.
And somehow they make money, humans are so gullible.
When you think Texas, guns is one of the first things that probably comes to mind. I'm probably the only one in this state that doesn't own any, but I can imagine many of my redneck neighbors getting theirs out when the government gets in the way of their porn:P
An article posted yesterday said that Sony was going to "sue anybody posting or 'distributing' the first full-fledged jailbreak code". Now that Sony has done just that, are they going to stick to their guns and sue themselves?

Any move you make against piracy only ensures it's continuation.
Why consider?
Just do it!

...at least 50% of America won't be able to use this car due to lack of brain power.

The US government can't intimidate ISPs, it's usually the other way around that happens.

ISPs have been throttling bandwidth for US customers for years, cry me a river.

I'd imagine having a knife in your brain could give you a pretty bad headache.
100% of machines used by idiots are at risk of attack when they try to claim their prize for being the 1000th visitor.

If you break open your system, you still need those services...OH WAIT.
...our debt isn't big enough. Let's spend $500 Million on something that will be rendered useless by some idiot employee who clicks on banners.
"I swear, that porn got on my phone on its own, I never put it there!"

Thank you for that informative post, oh slave of jobs.
Hey, whichever side loses, I'll still get a laugh :)
"greater penalties for selling to minors."
I agree with this, if only because it'll (slightly, maybe, hopefully?) lessen the two year old idiots online.
