The values i a Netflix subscription is just too small for a normal person to engage in a lawsuit.
What if Netflix leaked your private information, including credit card, and decided to hide the fact for months until you are the victim of identity theft that takes years of aggravation to clean up? Is that enough value to seek a legal remedy?
I was in one on Microsoft's campus with people from various companies, and this one douche thought he was being very clever by repeatedly using Chef Emeril Lagasse's "BAM!" schtick. People laughed the first time. After that the boredom was replaced by irritated hostility.
Daisey says, according to the press release. "My mistake, the mistake I truly regret, is that I had it on your show as journalism, and it's not journalism. It's theater."
Sounds like the Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl excuse when he was caught in a bald faced lie on the floor of the Senate: his remark “was not intended to be a factual statement.” Just another bald faced liar who thinks lies are OK.

Yes, Juszkiewicz does not like President Obama and claims the president is anti-business. I still don't see where he claims where Gibson is being targeted for his political leanings.
Of course the headline shouts about Apple, when the main point is that the company allows renting a range of devices. Haters and fan boys rejoice... oops never mind.
Is that the same guitar guy who has been raided twice, because he's using imported wood (all of which is legal, but they still shut him down)? If it's not RIAA or the BSA, then it's your own government. The owner believes he's being harassed because he gave multi-million dollar donations to the Republicans, but not one penny to Obama in 2008.
The best I can tell, you are talking about the Gibson raid. It was Fox News that baselessly speculated CEO Henry Juszkiewicz was being targeted for his political leanings. From FEC records, Juszkiewicz contributed $52K to Republicans and $39K to Democrats over 10 years. That's quite a different story from the one you are telling.
He should have waited until he got to SxSW to buy some weed. The US border between Texas and Mexico is coming to resemble that between North and South Korea.
Public intoxication (PI) is another favorite "catch all" charge. It is used frequently here in Austin to temporarily take people off the street for whatever reason, you don't have to be intoxicated. In the end you either pay a fine or contest it in court, where it comes down to your word against the police. If the cop does not show up to testify, the charge is thrown out (but you have already spent time in jail). If the cop shows up, and the jurors agree with the cop you are charged the fine and court fees.
I have yet to be caught by this, but have been a juror for a PI trial. The defendant claimed he was not drunk, and the only thing the police said was he was acting "erratically". No breathalyzer. No sobriety test. No mention of bloodshot eyes, alcohol smell, impaired speech or specific illegal acts. We found him innocent. The local paper often has stories about downtown revelers whose behavior is not to the police's liking, but not illegal, so they are picked up for PI.
Awesome post. I read the surrounding passages for context, searched for comments and pondered it for a while. In the end, I decided it was an ink blot. The only thing it reveals is about the interpreter.
Agreed. I would not be surprised if there is a clause in AT&T's contract allowing rectal penetration of subscriber's pets, but Frisky is probably safe if that goes to court.
You claim Obama authorized waterboarding. Care to supply a citation?
Very recently President Obama said waterboarding is wrong, is torture and he was glad that practice was ended. Read here where President Obama banned waterboarding in January 2009.
Ask their tech support "would you enjoy troubleshooting this piece of shit?".
Captain Miller: I'd say, "This is an excellent mission, sir, with an extremely valuable objective, sir, worthy of my best efforts, sir. Moreover... I feel heartfelt sorrow for the users of Windows and am willing to lay down my life and the lives of my men - especially you, Ballmer - to ease their suffering."
This made me imagine an old grizzled Wolfram asking a geek: What is your favorite Star Wars movie? Geek: The Empire Strikes Back... No! Phantom Menace...
[Geek is flung into Loser canyon] AAAaaauuuugghhhh... Wolfram: Analytics... this time it's personal.
When congress chooses to ignore a side of an issue they don't let the opposition into hearings at all, like the recent contraception hearing that only had men testify. So the EFF in the original post would never be present to be cut off by the congressman.

I re-imaged my server cluster with Linux and I was like...BAM!, we're movin now!
Scarily close to the way it was, only repeat it a dozen times and substitute Windows products for Linux.

I dread to think what Grace Hopper looked like.

Here are some speculative drawings of the creatures. Getting caught in a swarm of thrashing sharp dental structures would make a good horror film.
In short, you say people suck, governments suck and corporations suck. Where do you go from there?
...as recently as 10k years ago
4000 years before God created Earth? You can't fool me with your elitist education.
...that doesn't mean it overrides the law

...no one said AT&T can't drop him.
Just the post I was responding to.
Somebody hasn't read the terms of their service. AT&T claims the right to terminate for any reason at any time.

...flicking through copies of encyclopedias that are more than 20 years old, seeing a snapshot of our knowledge at the time
This should help your nostalgia in the future.
