sad, I agree.
ignorant on multiple levels.
seemingly random malicious hate is pervasive.
people make hateful comments without considering their impact.
others do it deliberately, but it's pretty much impossible to tell which is which.
are you innocently posting something inappropriate, or are you a racist with an agenda?
Back in my bar hopping days.
The bars I went back to were the ones I could have a conversation with the bartender, regardless of their sex.
You don't pick up the bartender. It's nice to chat with them when they aren't busy.
Interaction is part of the bar scene.
Hard to do that with a robot
If BT required all devices on it's network to be IPv6 compliant, many existing in use devices would cease to function.
If BT said you MUST replace your working, but not IPv6 compliant device there would be an even louder cry of EVIL!
The situation is not very good, but there aren't any alternatives.
This is like politics. It's not about choosing the better choice, but the less evil one.
The story actually implies that this is on their roadmap.
A considerable part of the problem is that many new devices are not IPv6 compatible, some sort of NAT is required.
New devices aside, the world is full of older IPv4 only devices.
While the poll may be a valid indicator of what the tech crowd desires, it's not a good indicator for the general public.
Plus, the rules are different now.
It seems clear that the basic YouTube service will be free. The pay service will be for premium content. There seems to be less resistance to that.
All of the mentioned restrictions only work if the phone is locked.
I refuse to sign a contract, or get a locked phone (at least that I pay for).
I have a N1 (never locked), and will probably upgrade before long to a new, never locked, phone. You don't need to unlock if it was never locked in the first place.
If my employer wants that control, they can pay for it.
I've saved the cost of my current phone with lower monthly bills. A single payment up front saves money in the end.
Freedom isn't free, but it doesn't have to cost a lot.
Your sig marks you as an anarchist, or something close to it.
Either you're wealthy, or you're a hypocrite.
As for your opinion others should move to another country, get a clue!
The only countries that would fit you criteria have no economy, like Tuvalu. Or perhaps Republic of the Marshall Islands.
It is very amusing the number of million dollar racing yachts who's home port is Bikini, M.I.
I've gotten many responses from my congressmen and senators. For some of them I wish they didn't waste the paper when they send letters, though it's good for the post office. I do read the the direct email to me.
I've made phone calls as well. A couple times they wanted my full contact info, and I got a letter, or email in response.
Sometimes public opinion works. The republican senator from Pennsylvania switched his position on gun control. Sadly that hasn't passed, yet.
There have been some other notable changes in position due to public position.
The last election proved that ignoring the tech nerd guy is how to lose an election.
D'Oh!
This system requires deep water. The deeper the better. Think over a mile deep.
It will likely be quite a distance off shore. And unlike a windmill, it doesn't have to be 300' high.

GAAP revenue of 186 million, earnings per share $0.35
They're just trying to put on the best show.
The comparison was based on the previous year's non-GAAP.
There will likely be a market for Windows for quite some time.
Many businesses want a desktop/traditional laptop OS. Windows fills that need.
It is unlikely they'd switch to Linux, not while the distro wars are still going on. There needs to be stability for business to invest the time to switch.
Apple keeps making decisions that businesses don't like
What's dead is the days when a new release of Windows drove PC sales.
Good point, but very different constitutional foundations.
The same reason the court ruled in favor of Citizens United is why they rule against gene patents.
On a more favorable front. The SEC is likely to require all publicly traded corps to publish their political activities.
Most companies fear public backlash more than their non-favored candidate in office.
There are some serious gaps in patent law.
One of them is the cause of a case which the Supreme Court has heard, but hasn't ruled yet. Monsanto vs [I can't recall] for the Round up resistant soybeans. If something can replicate/reproduce naturally it can't be patented.
Sadly the Federal Appeals courts have been more than a bit ignorant in their rulings. But then most of them have never taken any science after high school. Forget jury trials, you don't have to have graduated HS to serve on a jury.
With a couple notable exceptions, the current court seems to be able to grasp (read their staff briefs them well) advanced concepts.
I believe there is hope.

Sadly, too true
why do patent inspectors spend more than 2 seconds on dreck like this before denying it.
Hmmm.
Do the shocks get stronger in relation to the amount lost?
Sounds about right. ....
Add to that the study was probably sponsored by AT&T
It's all pretty pointless.

sorry you lost the last election
Exactly!
Windows 7. Just keep up with the security updates.
And new Tech, like H.265.
The shortest way from Hawaii to China is to go west.
it's one of the features of a sphere.

Interesting point.
Similar to the pursuit of happiness.

Everything to keep the SEC happy!
The current (new) CEO did a major housecleaning.
Not just people, I believe some other baggage was dumped.
As for start up culture, I think yahoo lost that a while ago. Google killed it if nothing else.
Foil faced insulation and a metal roof.
I used to work in a building that had no indoor cell service because of that.
to code, cheap, simple.
It really isn't that hard.

Not that any business could buy.
They are part of the cellular infrastructure.
No you can't.
but you can get on illegally.
Big difference
Perhaps you've heard of a Faraday cage?
... there are some important details
Build a metal box, approximately
RF doesn't get through.
You can stop RF. It's not that hard. And, you don't need to break the law to do it.
Jammers are illegal in the US. Period.
