2) they expect other countries to do most of the work for them
It didn't take long for Russia to follow in the United States' footsteps of outsourcing their space program. It's not surprising for the U.S. to do it because we outsource *everything*, but Russia? How times have changed.
Now I spend 18 hours a day browsing slashdot. Sometimes I get too drunk and tell everyone to go to hell. Then I feel bad the next day and come back, just to get drunk again and discuss Linux.
Indeed. The bigger the corporation is, the more likely they are to thrive on wasted time, money and resources (and promote an environment where budgets/positions must be justified or lost).
If they would choose to hold out a bit longer, I think it's only a matter of (short) time before Facebook implodes due to suckiness and the masses look for the next social media fad.
Maybe it's a regional thing, but most older people where I live refer to lunch as "dinner", and refer to the evening meal as "supper." And yes, you have to be careful to translate depending on your audience, as they may think you are referring to "lunch" when you say "dinner."
To my friends and wife, I say "dinner". To my parents I say "supper".
If I say "supper" to my friends, they call me grandpa. If I say "dinner" to my parents, they think I mean lunch.:(
I don't believe that this is right of the American government to do. The Internet is not sole U.S. property and there are no court proceedings to justify it.
Then don't put it on a TLD that is within U.S. jurisdiction. You'll notice that thepiratebay.org now redirects to thepiratebay.se for this reason.
And if the U.S. asks a country to take down a ccTLD/server/whatever and the country complies, who should you be bitching at? The U.S. or your own government that is complying with another country's demands?
FTA: "Harris has deleted all public tweets before February"...and... "It’s worth noting that all of Harris’s data, including private direct messages and deleted tweets, would likely be included in the subpoena."

I'm guessing he'll plead guilty, admit he has a problem and agree to get help, pay a fine and be sentenced to probation.
Indeed, I've been handed several free bibles over the years and I didn't even want them. :/

Wow, Mr. McBride, how the mighty have fallen.
Chin up, Joseph Smith loves you.
I'm a proponent of nuclear power and wouldn't have a problem with a plant "in my back yard."
However, having mini-nukes on the road sounds like a terrible idea!
Solyndra, and countless others...
Why do people hate Unity so much? Perhaps it's just me coming from OS X, but it seems to work just fine.
My 17" doesn't have a numeric keypad, not even space for one. Maybe you meant 19"
My 15.4" Acer laptop has a numeric keypad. 0.o
19" laptop? No thanks...
...You can't have both.
But who here WANTS surveillance? :P
Oh, and about the summary... isn't it correctly spelled "arbitrary"? what's up with that?
It should be "arbitrarily". Adverb, not adjective.
Not every company even lives to regret it..

I cigarette lighter works pretty well, too.
It isn't part of a standard install, it is a published Citrix app and really only used for specific applications that require it.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but I'm assuming modern RFPs require that the system be build so NOT to require a specific version of a specific browser? :)
Dude, eleven isn't old. I'm forty-four and I can't cope with social media either.
If you were a web browser, you'd be featured in the Smithsonian, with maybe a small paragraph on Wikipedia on the history of web browsers, at best.

Dinner time? If I watch your ad after 4:30

Except the bastards who have to work, like me, that is.
Don't forget the bastards who are married and haven't gotten it approved by the wife yet. :(
It would be interesting to see what % of Mozilla code is developed on each platform.
Seriously, what does a "web app marketplace" have to offer that isn't already done better through one of the above resources?
Agreed. I need a fucking web browser. Does it still do that? Great.
How about focusing on making it run faster?

There's a tea company named SpaceX?!
Somebody call marketing...
Why does the Blackberry logo look like animal droppings?
To do what? Download the pirated copies so they don't have to watch the unskippable content?
That's exactly what I was thinking, though DVDs have been pretty insufferable for a long time with unskippable crap before the menu.
an ICE spokesman says the intent isn't to deter piracy but to educate the public.
So they don't want to stop piracy, they just want to tell you about it?? You'd think they'd want to stop piracy through educating the public. :P
I don't believe there's anything ulterior to this, they probably just don't like DDoS's.
Indeed. I'm sure they've been hit more than their fair share of times and probably loath it.
Just like it war, you may wish to kill the enemy, but a lot of folks are against torture. There's a right way and a wrong way to achieve the goal.
