Sentences are not to begin with words such as 'but', 'and', 'or', or 'because', as they are conjunctions linking ideas. Your sentence would have been fine had it begun thusly: "Other than that,...". Yes, you also missed a comma after "that".
But for your errors, your comment was mildly interesting.
But if I'm at home and 2 buddies call me up asking me if I want them to pick up some beer for me, one buddy at the gas station and one at the grocery store, I'm gonna tell the buddy at the grocery store to get my beer. Because the convenience store isn't. I have a better option.
That's where you went wrong. You should be asking the buddy who will buy better beer.
They are part of the problem. You may be familiar with the Christian Bible and it's statement that "God" dislikes lukewarm people... Similar concept. Pick a side.
I'm Buddhist you insensitive clod and I choose the Middle Way!
Yeah, Americans are always so proud of their prison system.
Only by those who know absolutely nothing about it. Or who don't realize how perilously close they come to enjoying a stay there for essentially no reason.
I've been around long enough to have had a UID on that system:p
This shouldn't be much different than "a hellmouth opened up under the datacentre and swallowed it" or "the tsunami washed it out to sea" or "a stray SCUD hit the building". While ridiculous, it would seem that a visit by the FBI is about as catastrophic as some naturally occurring events that one might want to plan for. I'm not in disaster recovery, so I dunno.
I'm also curious how dodgy the customer was and if the service provider knew. (IOW, did the Feds bust an online pharmacy that was known about?)
Sony Music, you subpoenaed our users? Fine, we aren't streaming your tunes to our users any longer. They'll only hear the insipid pop put out by your competitors unless they want to jump through hoops.
Yay, remastered with extra loudness. Sign me up! (TBH, there are a few engineers here and there who understand and avoid the problem as much as the label allows).
That said, Apple has repeatedly said that iTMS, AppStore, and OSX are merely differentiators of their hardware/systems. While they of course want to monetize those streams as much as possible, the goal is to sell more iPods, iPhones, and iMacs, not more Lady Gaga singles. You would have to buy a helluva lot of music for Apple to get the same profit from music sales as from an iPod. Just look at the margins.

Who expected this explosion and why?

The Emperor probably thought he was acting in the best interests of the galaxy as well. It doesn't make it so.
If it's not an unreasonable search to attach a tracker to someones car, does that mean ordinary citizens can do it too?
I can think of nine people in DC you should try it on.

I don't mind constructive criticism.
You must be new here.
Yup, Germany is going to be at the mercy of either France (nuclear) or Russia (gas).
As long as it isn't both at the same time, history shows that Germany should do ok.
I see you children haven't figured out the butterfly yet. First step: bang the rocks together guys.
Developer skills were never part of the equation.
They never are on Slashdot, where all programmers are brilliant, handsome, and competent.
Slashdot HQ is in Lake Woebegone?

I'm not joking. And don't call me Shirley.
Nobody expects a Spanish Inquisition.

*Squish* like grape.

Nope. This was dust on tape. In Kansas, dust is in the wind.
What do you expect from a nation of clog wearing dike tenders!
Rule 34 should apply here.
All the excitement and action of manipulating a large spreadsheet.
At least the Crimson Permanent Assurance got to carry swords.

Restore to what? From what I've read DigitalOne's a co-lo customer and the FBI's taken all their physical hardware.
That's where you went wrong: you read the article. I didn't bother.
Better: Year of the Linux HalterTop
Worse: ... for guys
Worse: ... for Stallman.
Couldn't they restore their customers' sites from backup?
I'd prefer a giant douche.
My friend, allow me to introduce you to iCloud.
The iCloud has water AND vinegar rain!
Same place you register to vote, I'd guess.
But I don't want the shit sandwich that Best Buy is offering. I'd prefer a giant douche.

On the other hand, he already murdered more people in other countries than Bush did in his two terms.
