can you get some sort of pro-rated settlement on the 20 year career you were planning on having there?
Isn't that how the **AA's handles filesharing profit claims? If companies can pull that kind of crap on average citizens then by all means, rape companies for every penny you can get if you have the chance. Now I know the **AA's are not representative of every company, but if you can take a large company to the cleaners. DO IT, after all.. you're just looking out for your own bottom line.. just like they are.
I remember as a kid one of my fundie friends telling me to beware of VISA; something along the lines of VI being 6 in roman and S and A being a 6 in two other cultures which escape me at the time. I've always kept it in the back of my head... you never know! For the record, I have several VISA cards.
I think breaking up the financial institutions would be a higher priority than breaking up Google, but that's just my opinion. Google is in no way too big to fail, technology companies always seem to have a more than ample supply of other companies willing to take the market share. People are just paranoid because they fear that Google "knows" too much, which may be justified but may also be just plain old paranoia.

This is a fundamental discovery. It could change the way manufacturers produce electronic products at high speed, on a huge scale, and at a very high profit. There.. fixed that for ya.
You know it's ironic, the savings they are proposing over the next 10 years almost exactly match the cost of the wars we've been fighting for the last 10 years.
Get to the back of the bus Miss Parks. You could get the laws changed, not that you have the right to vote anyway. I supposed you could go online and protest but this is a whites only internet.
Yes by all means let's genetically alter tree's instead of changing our own behavior! There's just something more than a little wrong with, we can't change our own behavior so lets change the world around us so it can take our abuse more effectively!
I agree that tons of cheaply made useless apps only lessen the value of a platforms app market, but really what you end up with is Apple's subjective selection process. I guess ideally one could have a selective app section walled off for those who want a more professional user experience, outside of which would be your 'unapproved' fart apps etc. Of course they would have to add some value to the creators for placing them inside the wall, but thats up to RIM to decide what it would like to offer I guess.
As a business whose sole existence is to make money and pay their shareholders, is anyone surprised at this? Hell, does any reasonable person expect otherwise? It makes perfect business sense to prioritize websites that pay you. This is why people should not expect businesses to promote net neutrality.
You didn't convince me. I think the term "eyes wide shut" was made specifically about you. Teaparty on! Mr. Patriot. And don't forget to load your rhetoric gun with lots of flags.
I'm sure the ipad could have run a "normal" OS, however it seems more apparent to me that using the iphone OS as a base seems to make more sense. They're both touch based GUI's and iOS is probably a more simple base from which to build. It seems a wiser choice to start with something simple and add things that you can be sure are to work the way you intend them to, than to try and strip down a full OS and find out certain things don't work quite the same. With Apple it has and probably always will be about the user experience over raw functionality.
I'm not so sure. The ipad/tablets are just taking the place of netbooks. In my opinion netbooks were just underpowered and cramped laptops. The ipad/tablets remove the cramped aspect of the netbook and slap on a touch based gui. It seems to me that it's just the natural evolution of the netbook, taking it's shortcomings and addressing them. So I suppose if netbooks were a toy to you, then by all means, believe that the ipad is a toy as well.
Laws of a country are laws of a country. What would your reaction be to some Japanese CEO throwing a hissy fit because he couldn't get his way here in the US?
..and you didn't seem to grasp my box cutter correlation.
The whole reason we have stupidly over the top rules for what you can bring on board a plane is because of 9/11, who in fact used *box cutters* to take control of the plane.
Shurikens are actual weapons, regardless of your subjective assessment of their lack of potential as a harmful object.
This has drone research written all over it! Take out a signal to a drone and it's as good as shooting it down. It's probably easier to mess with a drone signal than shooting it down as well, but that's just pure speculation on my part.

If the Japanese can creat glow in the dark cats.. I don't see how making a luminescent tree would pose a huge hurdle.

I love how people compare Fox News and the Daily Show... They're both entertainment shows based on the news.
Can you imagine the hysterics if the government had proposed this! But it's a company, so I'm sure it's all OK.
You know it's ironic, the savings they are proposing over the next 10 years almost exactly match the cost of the wars we've been fighting for the last 10 years.
I know It's the UK, but couldn't this be defended as the right to not self incriminate? IANAL, but I'm just throwing that out there.

What are the odds that alien astronomers on that world are having their exact same story posted on Alien Slashdot®!?

And dumb comments about how the US isn't really a free society will fall on deaf eyes."
Absolute bullshit coming from someone who doesn't live here. Blindly supporting my country? You did not R MY FA.
Ummm yeah.. i did.. did you? Mr "Deaf eyes". You provided a f@#$ing blind analogy in your own damn post!

I'd feel sorry for him, too, and wish that someone had better informed him of the laws before he tried to get on his plane as well.
Why would you assume otherwise?
Somehow I feel you're not really being honest with me or yourself on that one, but to each his own I guess.

Or perhaps you work in a warehouse, and are handy with *box cutters*. What's the destructive difference between a shuriken and a box cutter?
Ok then, why don't u take a large bottle filled with shampoo on you the next time you board.. it's just soap and little else, right?
Or maybe I'm asserting that you're a trained beautician!?
