More glass cellphones with easy to break screens and backs!
Easy?!? I've pounded on these things with my finger when they don't.. do.. what.. I.. effing.. want I assume you are wearing metal gauntlets, Sir Lumpy of Oatmealshire.
It's unclear what, if any, effect these seizures have on the economy.
Well I can tell you, there's a few ware houses and container ships which are probably going to have a little problem disposing of inventory which is still in the pipe.
Not to mention an end to my pursuit of an Official Super Bowl Batmobile Car Kit.
"No, this is regulating the shipment of potentially biohazardous material across state lines."
A curious theory considering nothing in the article mentioned transporting stem cells across state lines.
Well, suppose your culture grows out of control, into some hideous monster, which would even give J. J. Abrams the night terrors and start roaming the country side? They'd have a point then methinks.
People who want to create a better life for their families within the context of an oppressive regime queue for choice spaces that could potentially help them, and put a little more food on their table.
I wish them luck.
Right.
And even as their brothers and sisters take their own lives in the agonising throes of desperation, where they are driven to deliver or be replaced by yet another eager soul looking for a step up. There's a reason we read about Foxconn so much on Slashdot and it isn't because the make neaty keano shiny toys, but for the exploitation of the workers and their misery.
This is why I post the parent of this thread and I'm perplexed how people are reading something negative into that metaphor.
When I'm sued by some conglomerate, for having the temerity to take my biomass across state lines, donate blood or some such, because they've got some damn patent on it.
Can anyone comment on why the Supreme Court has historically allowed the Commerce clause to apply to absolutely anything that could be remotely, however ridiculously, be considered related to interstate commerce, and thus trample states' rights?
Is this simply a perennial sin of the Court, or is there a sound Constitutional basis for it?
Probably because of that Constitution. Burning is too good for it.
We should shoot it, too, with our Constitutionally protected guns.
Call me a fuddy-duddy, but I'm not impressed by names like SuperDraco which sound like somebody I'd find on Twitter expounding upon their amazing Pokemon collection.
Can we go back to decent rocket names? Something like A-1 or Z-2?
Conspiracy! By misspelling their name in the title it won't be searchable later. And if it can't be googled it didn't happen...
Prevents you from contacting them and interrupting their meetings, the ones where they all give each other big raises for "actualizing" and stuff, also allows them to keep their scheduled tee times.
"Grandfather, you are old and senile, we can no longer take care of you. So we are sending you to an executive position at Verisign.
"Verisign further admitted in an SEC filing that its security team informed management about the attacks immediately while at the same time moving to address the hacks, but that management ignored it because they didn't understand the implications until the lawyers took away their drinks and shrimp cocktails and made them understand"
Followed by the Penn State University Board of Trustees attempting to sack them all, just in case that covered things and made everything alright.
I can't help but feel there's some irrational exuberance at work here. Exactly why is Facebook worth $75 or $100 Billion? Do they have a revenue stream like Google has?
The only thing that is irrational here is peoples penchant for actually pulling out a real credit card tied to pay for a gallon of "virtual" gas to fill up their imaginary tractor to farm their e-veggies, or whatever other nonsense is on there.
Now figure it only takes a fraction of a single percent of the entire population of Facebook to do this in order to generate millions in a single day, from a single game.
Now, if you want to talk real numbers, we can talk about advertising...
If they advertise then I will adblock.
If they spam I will filter.
If they become a problem I will leave.
I expect a good percentage of their userbase can do the same.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how the investors expect to get their money out....
Facebook reportedly has, what, 10% of the world's population? What's its growth model from here?
And how will it make the sort of money needed to pay the investors?
I guess I'm sort of stumped at the "business opportunity" offered here. At a guess, Z and 499 other shareholders are going to come out of this with a wad of cash and everyone else will be holding a deflated balloon in a few years....
It's worth all that because someone believes it is. When the faith dissapates there may be some frowns.

I'm certain Sir Pterry is following this with considerable interest.
it can also create very thin glass! Go graphene!
Computer! I bring up the molecular structure for Transparent Grapheneium!
We miss you, Mr. Scott

And in related news, iPad 4 rumored to be just 2mm thick.
Too fat. I'm waiting for the iPad 5, rumoured to be 5 atoms thick.

...that the curren laws are enough to fight counterfeits?
Yes. Yes they are. But why not pass a whole boat-load more, just so the official outlets and suppliers are kept safe.
Dreams of anyone who wanted a souvenir on the cheap, that is. Official stuff is $$$.

It's not commerce if you grow your own wheat and feed it to your livestock.
Oh, wait. Facepalm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn
I would love to have a government that stopped thinking so highly of itself.
How about if I clone myself?
Lettem try to arrest me/us I'll/We'll fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. I/We shall never surrender!

About the pending Appeal to this case.
DC comics has better things to do than sue kit-car makers. Not as if DC is competing in this arena.
"Less than satisfactory" according to white, paternalistic Americans who frequent Whole Foods.
Sorry to stereotype here, but let the Chinese figure out what is satisfactory or not.
And form trade unions, have their skulls cracked by the state enforcers, etc. It's all part of energing as an industrial nation.

You recognised it was folly. Well done.
You recognised it a bit late. Not so well done.
Go void it.

If it takes this long to get the article on slashdot, can't you at least edit it so it's correct?
It was last year, last year, but this year it's last year's last year.
Hope that's clear enough now.

Probably will. I certainly haven't given them one red cent so far.
