The apple angle is the NSA slide from 2008 that states that they can always break into apple software everytime as long as "the software" is an iPhone and they have physical access to it- a guarantee that is being given here by the NSA. meaning they say its being build and they will have it ready real soon
All publicly funded apps should be for free, open source operating systems, unless there is a really good reason for them not to be. Android, mobile Ubuntu or Linux for the desktop. Give patents live CDs for use at home, with the added advantage that with the CD the kids can't be distracted while doing homework by games etc.
And since you brought it up, you should be forced to provide the course for free. And since it will be crap, you should be tarred and feathered. Sounds like a great plan.
Who rattled your kennel? I don't remember inviting you to the conversation.
Aww poor baby. I didn't know I needed your approval to show just how THICK you are. Feel free to just assume that you are THICK whatever you say from now on. It's a given.
Seriously, what is the "trickery" that gets one to download and install this "Google Vx" application, and how many Chinese people does it take to read our LOLs? Is someone out there texting their social security number or bank PIN?
The fact that almost nobody in China can get to Google Play without trickery?
Warring against the US is not protected behavior. Puishing AKA Freedom of the Press, is.
That's not even true for US citizens, let alone for foreigners. Also, many of the people at Gitmo were innocent. Some of them are still there, and the US doesn't know what to do with them.
Actually, this just quantifies something we already knew. By ignoring polar regions the CRUTemp reconstructions seriously underestimate warming. See polar amplification.
Well, at least the "skeptics" were right to point out that it was a bad idea to reduce the number of stations in remote regions.
Regardless of which side of the warming debate you're on, hearing reports that a climate projection was off by half doesn't instill confidence that scientists really understand what's going on.
And having somebody claim this is about "climate projections" will show us what?
The first link in the summary links to the paper published by the Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society.. The youtube video makes the science accessible to the layman.
And anybody not realizing that is too fucking stupid to even understand the video - let alone the paper.
Corporations like Apple pay less in taxes because they can find loopholes.
We call them loopholes specifically because they present a way to do a run around the intent of the law. Simply by speaking English correctly you have doomed your own argument.
Laws aren't defined by "intent" but by the words they are written in. If the lawmakers fuck up, it's their fault.
I think that's precisely why Apple is being investigated here, what's mere avoidance in other countries sounds like it may well be evasion in Italy.
RTFA - they did the same investigation the last couple of years and nothing came of it. This is nothing but the Italian government trying to give the Italians the impression they are trying to balance the budget by getting money from the evil Americans. Hey, and it even works in the US.
Either him or Italian politicians. Many of whom are known tax frauds. No, wait, those actually knew what they were doing. Anyway
"The Italian tax authorities already audited Apple Italy in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and confirmed that we were in full compliance with the OECD documentation and transparency requirements. We are confident the current review will reach the same conclusion."

So, you really think a netbook is inherently more useful than, say, a 16" Alienware powerhouse?
That is a bad comparison because it misses the point of WHEN smaller is better
Well, I blame you for not being more specific when you said "... in just about any area of computing, IS more useful."
I think mine is a good comparison, since, "in just about any area of computing," the Alienware beats the pants off a netbook.
More specific? Like "My Alienware would be so much better if it were an inch thicker"?
I certainly won't take YOUR word for that.
So your alternative is to make up your own reality.
Google is to light allowing forkers to call it Android, tainting their brand
Well, if they didn't half the marketshare of "Android" would be going to "others".

Linux is always an alternative.
That's what the NSA wants you to believe.

If they have living descendants, then surely they didn't go extinct.
Birds are living descendants of dinosaurs. Are you telling me the stupid thing about Jurassic Park was that dinos aren't extinct?

Stating somebody can't do math isn't an ad hominem. In her case its a sad fact.
Yes, and that didn't answer a bit.
"100% error"? And we are supposed to tae you serious? Reply to This Share
YOU do the math.
I did. And you're IQ comes out negative. Yeah, I know, that doesn't actually work - shouldn't have used YOUR math.
Did you even read the comment to which you are replying? 0.05 x 2 is less than 0.12 Therefore the discrepancy is greater than 100%.
100% of WHAT?

this stuff is all so ridiculous. the small amount of greenhouse gasses that we as humans put out is miniscule compared to the total output.
And the drop that makes a glass overflow is tiny compared to the rest of the glass.

Well in this case, apparently not.

Maybe you don't know exactly European taxes laws.
