I was sent a warning message about this, I'm still grandfathered in on the unlimited plan. I looked at my usage and over 4G of traffic was from facebook... apparently because I was auto-playing videos. Turning this off on an iphone requires you to go to the settings menu on the phone (not, confusingly, the settings menu in the facebook app, but the facebook app settings in the phone settings menu). You can set it to auto-play only on wifi or never.
Communication goes two ways, and offense is in the ear of the behearer if you will. If you didn't mean to offend, then you made a mistake or you don't care. If you didn't mean to offend once but now know that you're offending, then either you don't care or you intend to offend.
Wise people will make a good-faith effort to avoid giving offense by learning and practicing diplomacy.
If your view that intention is all that matters were true, then all the racists in the world could just intend really hard that no one should be offended and we'd be peachy.
Yeah but then again emergency car repair places don't have to fix your car at everyone else's expense if you show up at their door, so the distinction actually makes the case for the ACA. We're already paying for everyone to get health care, we're just doing it in about the dumbest way possible by waiting until they crawl into the ER willing to put themselves in debt forever.
I tried installing it in Ubuntu 13.10. Segfaulted on the first file I tried to import and complained about not being able to find video/x-surface decoder on the second. I have all the gstreamer good/bad/ugly plugins installed. I know free video editors routinely have problems but this certainly can't be the most mature.
This. Specifically, business travelers can get reimbursed for their internet much of the time, so they're less likely to balk at the fee. Moreover, business travelers often have little choice in where to stay (conference hotel, etc.) and so aren't going to pick a different hotel for the free wifi even if they'd prefer it.
Wake me up when they bring 2.x style print back. Taking away convenience features is not the way to encourage adoption, if anything they should add more.
The minimum wage is loosely indexed in fits and starts around the poverty line, that is, the average minimum acceptable cost of maintaining a household. The minimum wage is only a problem if you think people would work for less, and if they'd work for less poverty and all its associated ills would become a worse problem. Arguably, the minimum wage probably has only survived as long as it has because it actually *protects* the economic order by keeping the poor from getting too poor and rioting in the streets.
Yes, who could forget when hundreds of thousands of professionals, all wearing their big-boy pants, marched on Washington and demanded the right to be fired for no reason. Corporate bigwigs, reluctant to let their little darlings flee the coop, were nevertheless powerless to stop this people-powered onslaught, and they shed a collective tear as they realized that the American Worker was all grown up now and ready to go out and start making minimum wage.
Corporate/private patronage and episodic content releases based on player prepayments could solve this problem. It's true the industry would be different and possibly smaller, but not gone. Someone would find a way to make money even if software was free, and the public domain would greatly benefit.
Good bit colder than it is now. In the sea of Galilee there are sunken cruiseliner with iceberg-sized holes in their hulls.

LOTS colder than it is now. The story about the nose of the sphinx being used for target practice are well known, but the story about its earmuffs being used for mortar target calibration are not nearly so well known.

Wooly Mammoths would huddle for warmth with carnivorous dinosaurs in crowded caves. Titanic ice sculptures of ancient swans dotted the landscape, carved by the frost titans before they left the quickly warming earth for Jotunheim.
I wanted to start a 1ed game but we couldn't find enough player's handbooks, and ebay wanted too much. I understand they used to sell pdf's of the 1ed books but that practice must have let too many people enjoy the game without buying new books every year because they are no longer available.
If you can figure out how to make this part of a real legislator's platform I will be amazed. There's not too many who want to make life harder for the police, civil liberties be damned. Maybe someone from Rodney King's district.
The problem with your analogy is that it ignores the fact that Apple is a walled garden. A better analogy is: you made a deal to sell shoes in Wal-Mart, and now they've decided to charge you an amount that happens to be your profit margin for shelf space while they introduce their store brand alongside them.
The problem is that the idevices are, if not a monopoly, effectively the only game in town. Good luck getting the courts to fix that. Eventually they'll squeeze too tight and there will be a killer app you can only get on android or some other future competitor device, but who knows when or what. Probably after Steve Jobs steps down someday in the distant future, they've gotten pretty good at this.
There's a good chance that a lot of those 42% won't repeat because they only needed to drum up initial publicity once. Having done it, they don't need to do it again.

They banned smoking in bars and restaurants around here, and maybe all those people are smoking other places, but my shirt doesn't smell like smoke any longer. I find it very hard to believe that consumption hasn't gone down, and maybe some people have quit/not started who otherwise would be smoking today. I'm sure not getting any second hand anymore and I love it.

Of course, unlimited means unlimited so I don't know why it's limited, but as a practical matter there you go.

If openssl were closedssl, do you think we would have learned about the exploit sooner? I don't.

That's a terrible analogy. It makes you a bad programmer in the same way that using a CD Player makes you a bad violinist.

Yes, we all pine for the days when posters could disagree reasonably about how hot the grits should be that Natalie Portman should be slathered in.
I still use Alpine (free/libre version of PINE). I hope I never have to give it up. So fast, so clean, so configurable.

The minimum wage is next! Power to the grown-ups!

You guys have it all wrong. On matters relating to the music and video industries, duplicate votes are worth exactly as many as the originals.
