if i recall correctly, a couple years ago, the studio warehouse that had all the old episodes burned down. i think the only people with access to the old episodes are the ones who bought the limited edition copies back then
att wont be able to compete. google is charging the same price for gb internet as att charges everyone for 20mbit. rolling out fiber and then charging 100$ more wont do anything to compete with google. that being said, maybe eventually att will wisen up and start offering fiber in other cities at a competitive rate (before google gets there), but i doubt that seriously, since att milks their customers for money.
this is totally bullshit. obamacare is just a total waste of money and is doomed to fail. every major company is going to opt out of the program by paying the fine because it is just simply cheaper than paying for the insurance
yes, however, we are giving up our money for stupid shit like the NSA, and obamacare is doomed to fail. just about every major company will opt out of the program because it is cheaper to pay the fine than it will be to pay for the healthcare.
an extra 5$? what are you smoking? more like an extra 10-30%. as soon as you start being a dumbass and giving in to shit like this, then you will start giving in to things like "hey, we should give chinese sweatshops more money so they can survive" this will double the price of labor, and guess what, YOU will be footing that bill, not the companies.
i dont know about some tree hugging morons, but i dont really give a shit about the conditions in which minerals are attained. if it makes my product cheaper, it isnt my problem
it was because religious folk like pushing their beliefs onto others and cannot stand that anyone would ever do the same, even if the latter is supported by fact and not faith.
they dont actually scan fingerprints, they scan the differences in elecrostatic charge between the ridges on your finger. copying the oil fingerprint wont do you much good as far as breaking this scan.
the problem is that older musicians signed all their money away to a record label in an age where distributing by yourself is free. because of this, those musicians are losing out to the musicians offering their songs for a dollar on itunes, because the record labels charge 15$ per album.
eventually musicians will get with the times and realize they should just cut out the middle man.
next thing we know, they will be charging 5 year olds with felonies for farting on eachother. heaven forbid we disrupt the school system playing a game.
it is a big deal because unlike a universal remote, security systems are supposed to be, well, secure. you shouldnt be able to hack a security system with a 20$ toy.
it isnt that we have something to hide. the reason we are all upset is that the NSA is spying on people illegally without any repercussions at all. it isnt any of the NSA's damned business what we are doing, and therefore they should not be able to obtain ANY data on ANYONE without a warrant from a judge in a NON SECRET court.
there is no such thing as a secret organization that DOESNT abuse their secrecy. as long as the doings of the NSA continue behind closed doors, there will never be any real control over them and they will continue to abuse their power. why should the NSA be able to get away with spying on citizens illegally, but google gets huge fines for just using unsecured networks to transmit data for street view. sure, they are both illegal, but which one is worse, honestly?
well, i was talking specifically the software, not the hardware. as for the ubuntu edge, it would have been custom manufactured and could have possibly been x86
shortening "people" to "ppl" has nothing to do with intelligence, and if anything, intelligent people would realize that it is much easier to type "ppl," with no real loss in comprehension and therefore would choose to use it over the long form of the word.
the ubuntu edge WOULD have combated this, but sadly it only recieved 1/3 of the funding it needed. that being said, if they dont have backdoors in the hardware, then the ubuntu phone os will not have backdoors (said by mark shuttleworth of canonical(not an american company and therefore doesnt give a shit))

it isnt free if you have to pay more taxes for it.
no it wont, as smaller businesses now have to pay ridiculous amounts for healthcare for employees. obamacare is incredibly expensive.

i can already see this increasing the prices twofold on products.

yea, but then they opened up criminal charges against the owner for shutting down instead of doing what they wanted him to do
nobody fights it because everyone who has gets shut down by the government. lavabit anyone?

this amazing innnovation is going to set us on an amazing course for the future

the ubuntu edge was going to have 4gb of ram, but it only got 13 million out of the 32million funding goal
yea but think about all those systems that use apps to control them from anywhere. what happens when someone finds a way to make those unsecure?

nicotine is not the part of cigarettes that kills people. the part that kills people is the burning tobacco and tar.
i cant stand being around people who smoke real cigarettes, but surprisingly, i dont mind people who use e-cigs
