Of course, you probably didn't mean all young children.
(Really, the only reason the sight of a nipple is found disturbing is because we fetishize covering them up; that's just part of our society and I don't really care either way, but it isn't as if the very sight of a nipple is going to induce a sex drive in a 7 year old)
Two reasons: Verizon and Sprint are CDMA (which has little notion of SIM cards), and also, people are more comfortable signing a contract and getting a phone for $50 (of 'free') than they are importing one from Asia for some larger amount (and then it is difficult to get a service plan that recognizes you brought your own phone, so you don't save any monthly money over a contract phone).
People bandy about how dumb CDMA is, but GSM replacements have evolved to use it on the radio side, so it isn't that dumb.
I don't find that sacrifice to be all that stupid, text-to-speech is generally terrible, and something the size of a book makes for a horrible audio device (sure, there are certainly people who want to listen to books that aren't available as audio, but that market isn't big enough for Amazon to care much about).
GE currently owns a majority stake in NBC Universal (they needed to negotiate with the other owner, Vivendi, before they could proceed with this deal). Under the deal, a new company is being formed, with GE contributing NBC Universal and Comcast contributing some of their content assets and a bunch cash (or cash like assets). Comcast ends up with 51% ownership of the new company, and GE 49%.
I really have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry.
Hilariously, The "U.S. Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor Program" is a standard for data privacy (designed to work alongside legislation in the EU).
Well, my above statement doesn't actually express an opinion regarding Google. That said, if you are going to criticize them for changing the privacy policy, it is worth criticizing the changes. Here are the substantial additions (also, the only substantial change made):
Google adheres to the US Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of Notice, Choice, Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity, Access and Enforcement, and is registered with the U.S. Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor Program.
How poisonous. Given the litigation climate in the U.S., I don't think it is reasonable to expect a company to have a fixed privacy policy. Also, note that "substantial" above refers to my opinion (but it isn't real hard to investigate the changes).
How do the fellas in Somalia factor into your non sequitur?
Given that there is no causal mechanism suggested by physics or medicine, the lack of correlation can at least be taken as a suggestion that there is little need to look deeply into the issue.
Sticking your head in a microwave probably won't give you cancer, but you won't do just fine (if you really want to do it, remember to to overcome the safety interlock on the door latch, you need to convince the microwave that the door is properly closed).
Ya know, if I had an answer to that, I might have phrased my statement a little differently.
I guess the best answer at this point is simply to point out that they haven't done a great deal to suggest that you shouldn't believe them, and on some level, they are regulated by a reasonable government (depending quite a lot on how one chooses to define reasonable).
I might find it financially unfortunate to be denied a job for something I did on my personal time, but I would feel a little bit better about it knowing that I wasn't working for a bunch of fuck-nobs.
Has anybody indicated to you that they are working on something (using zfec underneath) that does integrity checking while being a little less ambitious than Tahoe-LAFS (ambitious is not supposed to be a criticism here, just a characterization)?
I guess "use allmydata.com" is a good answer for people that don't want to deal with a lot of setup complexity, but not having any integrity checking built in is a pretty big disadvantage compared to par2 when looking at things like adding some extra redundancy to a DVD or whatever.
Their public statements say that they are not linking the requests to other Google services, and that they are discarding ip addresses within a day or two.

Breastfeeding is a beautiful, natural act.

since most Slashdotters are liberals

Also, the Alps.
They could just check Facebook (I don't mean everybody on Facebook, I mean they could set some net-savvy roots and work from there).
It's okay, the drummers will set us free.
What would be wrong with giving people wearing dresses, skirts and kilts a discount?
There isn't any irony when your statement is pretty much nonsensical.
Also, corporations can't participate in a free market, they are entities that exist solely at the whim of the government.
Copyright is the epitome of regulation.
Or just scroll to the bottom of the page.
That's really more of a pay hedgerow.
I see you have never actually watched Attack of the Show, it is clearly just what you are looking for.

Given that it is moderately entertaining, it will likely be canceled.

If it is so bad, you should call them ShitTorrents.

A parser that isn't XML compliant probably isn't going to have too much trouble either.
