I already have five strikes:( what happens next?
btw the analogy is fucked. everybody knows, 3 strikes and you're out. Doesn't make any sense to have 6 strikes. what is this, cricket? 10 wickets, and you're out?
I don't think I know anyone who doesn't know that name
Typical US centric view... Do you think the rest of us care about your fake celebrities? Get your head out of the sand - there's an entire world out here! (and hint: 95% of the world does NOT live in US)
re-read GP: he doesn't get a babysitter, he locks the door. don't play with matches kids! like octomom, shutting the kids out. she just got out of rehab for xanax, and now is doing pot brownies.
well guess what I'm in SV too and I don't know any tech companies where hindi or mandarin is spoken on site. there's outsourcing of course... but they're elsewhere.
so that's why i conclude that he works in fast food and his colleagues speak spanish. prove me wrong.
This is why working at the office can be challenging for those people whose coworkers/PHBs think, "Oh, you're here anyway, so it's not a big deal if I ask you a quick question or ask you to do some quick task."
A city's mass transit system is a reflection of its land. blaming transit systems for poor ridership is like blaming a fat man's obesity on his big pants.
hmm.. google used to be about the android ecosystem... they made the OS for everybody, and were vendor agnostic. Now they want to sell their own devices at the expense of their competitors. Who is their main competitor? Apple? NOT! It's Samsung. In america's eyes, samsung == android. Note that the "gotta hold it" excuse doesn't apply to any other android manufacturer - they're in best buy, carriers, etc. This is a hardware power play, to make sammy quake. But it is really google that is quaking, did you see the reports that sammy will install its own os? america just wants galaxy phones, not nexus or htc or anybody else.
In all greek tragedies, you always knew the ending and the major events. the form is so settled that everybody knows the structure. This is true for shakespearian tragedies as well. The enjoyable part is how you get there.
there is so much self-lies here whenever there is an anti-google story. Peeps tie themselves into knots making it not goog's fault. fact: goog passed my private info to a third party, just because I bought a clock app. I didn't know this! If I had known, I wouldn't have bought the clock app! It's like when goog hacked safari to bypass privacy controls.
for a company that is "don't be evil", they've been fined by the FTC what, three times now? and settled an antitrust organization. open your eyes, peeps!
more fud and whisper campaigns... but the thing the GP doesn't understand, when a large entity makes a big purchase like this, they do a long procurement process looking at all options. so your fud may convince a mom to buy samsung at att, but when examined closely, it doesn't hold up well in the harsh light of scrutiny.
I, for one, welcome our new papal overlord. seriously though, I'm looking forward to the hole papal convention thing. you know, where they do the black smoke / white smoke thing? some bit of catholic drama.

Thank you for helping with the acronyms, but what the feck is APT?

Hey - no wonder I haven't been getting any of my mail! You need to forward that stuff to me ASAP! -Fo Oebar
Do you even know who Octomom is?!

I would install gps controls so it could never attack anything in the US. Then we'd be safe.
Do you even know who Octomom is?! check yourself before you wreck yourself.
From your wikipedia link: "Primary energy use in the United States was 25,155 TWh In 2009"
energy != electricity. please read again. obviously electricity is the right baseline here, since wind farms produce electricity not gasoline.
our research suggests that we will need to pay attention to its limits and climatic impacts if we try to scale it beyond a few terawatts."
OK then, no problem, since all US production is 1.1TW. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_United_States

I hope you have flashing strobe smoke alarms when tYour kids set the house on fire. Or maybe the fire dept can send you a text msg.

what language do they speak? what industry are you in? fast food? If so, how can you do that job at home?

see what I did there?
I'm glad that ip crime will be treated like real crime.

What about getting a dog? It's both a deterrent and an alarm.
or a gun.

The prequels had every flaw in Lucas's inabilities with plotting and dialogue that the old films did, but magnified many times over.
George Lucas sucks at dialog? Noooooooooooo!
