  1. Re:Need a fake gold coin? on Alibaba Face Off With Chinese Regulator Over Fake Products · · Score: 4, Funny

    I bought Bitcoins from Alibaba, but they turned out to be fake. They're Dogecoins with Bitcoin stickers on them.

    Given that teh intarweb is made up of tubes, that makes perfect sense.

    If Bell/etc had to explain, with accounting proof, why two services alone each cost 50$ but the two of them bundled together cost only 60$, I'm pretty sure something illegal would be found somewhere.

    Bell and Videotron, for example, would like nothing better than to crush Netflix, iTunes, etc and basically force us to use their streaming services instead. This levels the playing field and may actually force them to make the monthly quotas higher if they want people to subscribe to their services.

    1. Remove lobbying and all forms of donations since it's bribery. All parties are allocated the same budget for advertising, the only difference is that they each decide how, where and when to spend it as long as it's advertising (movies, TV, radio, print, Web) for themselves and no one else.

    2. Make it illegal to talk about the other parties. Tell me what you have done and what you are planning to do instead of shitting on someone else with half-truths.

    on the plus side it makes running the deep fryer in the control center very efficient.

    2018: In order to be more environmentally-friendly with their servers, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter and Google have announced a partnership with McDonald's. Your next order of french fries will help save the environment! Apple declined to comment on oil cooling but mentioned that their new campus would bring about a new era of solar power gathered from orbit.

    Because one is about net neutrality and the other is about the bundling of services with rebates that are probably borderline illegal.

    I am so tired of dealing with these RS/6000 systems that were made back in 1994, and these intel systems made back in 2002.
