Plenty of vets still around, yes.. not so many grieving parents.
As a vet myself, I'm more offended by Ubisoft's DRM, requiring an internet connection and disallowing locally hosted servers. How the fuck are you going to make a game *about* soldiers, that deployed soldiers themselves can't play? That's the real evidence they doesn't give two shits about the military beyond trying to market themselves under its banner, and I've got a nice big salute for them right here.
I wasn't making a distinction between content (news vs entertainment); rather between providers. Local news -- or whatever you want to call it -- is produced by local stations for local viewership (historically, and, in most cases, currently). Part of the value that local stations get out of carrying their affiliated networks (NBC, CBS, FOX, etc) is that the network shows bring in the viewers, who then hopefully stick around to watch the local news. That's why, for example, so many local stations were protesting Leno in primetime -- it was decimating their local news viewership. Aside from those shows, and the occasional news clip, the local station is essentially independent from the affiliated network.
Fox, in a departure from the typical arrangement, allegedly demanded that certain stories from FOX News Channel (FNC) be either rebroadcast and/or retold by local affiliate stations, under threat of losing their affiliate status.
Sort of. Money is certainly an issue, but so is his conservative agenda. His "genius" is in turning a healthy profit by spreading his message, instead of *spending* money to do the same. Of course, that's not a completely new strategy; he just mastered it in the realm of television by hoisting a tabloid-style news channel under the banner of legitimate news. True, the FOX television network is (or was) known for its "racy" content relative to its competitors, but fun and games end where the news begins. The strategy of any network affiliate is to draw in viewers with the entertainment, then keep them around for the news. In the case of FOX, however, the local affiliates are more and more resembling syndicated broadcasters for the FOX News Channel. Outfoxed has a fairly factual description, albeit presented in a rather hysterical fashion.
First, the wireless market is more competitive than the wireline market, given that consumers typically have more than just two providers to choose from.
This assumes or implies that there's no collusion between providers, which seems to be wishful thinking at best. The fact that mobile rates in the US are substantially more than in many countries around the world, that subscribers are locked into contracts, that text messaging is *still* not a free or virtually free feature. AT&T effectively more than doubled its data plan prices -- from $30/5GB to $62.50/5GB ($25/4GB) -- and competitors are now "examining their pricing structures" as well. None of these appear to be indicators of a market with healthy competition.
Enabling tethering is probably my #1 reason. I don't care what AT&T's contract says; tethering is a function of the phone, not the service. I suspect this is why nobody's ever had their service terminated for tethering; AT&T knows they'd lose a court battle, and they don't want to set a precedent, let alone publicize this information.
Aside from tethering, SBSettings is quite handy (change brightness, kill tasks, enable/disable radios, etc. much faster than exiting an app and navigating to Settings).
Changing the lock screen to display useful data is nice, but I haven't found an app that does that well in iOS4.
3G Unrestrictor is great for getting full quality video over 3G and downloading apps larger than 10MB from the actual App Store. (As for why this works: They can't filter by TLD because AT&T provides land-based internet services, and filtering by IP is untenable, so they simply ask the phone if it's on 3G or WiFi).
And then there's the ability to simply copy files to the phone that jailbreaking provides.
So don't tell him; just route all his traffic through a machine named "Warrant[ed/less]-Surveillance", slow down his traffic, and when he calls to complain, direct him to run a traceroute.
Which is to say (albeit inadvertently), a HUGE fscking part. Please show me an expert astronomer who doesn't know a shitload about telescopes -- not the least of which is how to use them -- because I'm pretty sure there's no such creature.
At any rate, ignorance should be neither encouraged nor excused. Most CS grads are trying to become *programmers*, not computer scientists, and not understanding how to install software is, at the very least, indicative of either gross incompetence, or an utter disregard for your profession. It's like a plumber not understanding that water doesn't magically appear in the supply line, or what to do if it's not there.
Unless your sole task is answering whether P=NP, then learn about one or more computer architectures, as well as one or more operating systems... preferably *before* you apply for a job, or else as a part of personal development or, as R. Lee Ermey would say, " You had best unfuck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!"
With the arguable exception of child porn, there is (or should be) no such thing as "unlawful content," in the United States; only "unlawful use of content." Unless a provider is either a party to, or a mediator of such contracts, their involvement is neither desirable nor justifiable.
If service providers want to be responsible for the traffic they carry, then I propose making them liable for allowing any port scans, malicious payloads, SPAM, fraudulent advertisements, or unsolicited phone calls (VoIP) to reach my network. What's good for the Goose, right?
And it's not too late, yet, but we'll need massive infrastructure changes or something drastic like say a solar shield to keep anything resembling our current climate.
I think I'm following... If I'm not mistaken, you're suggesting that we send a vehicle deep inside the earth to plant explosions that will *speed up* the earth's core, thereby increasing the strength of the magnetosphere. I can only assume you've already found a significant cache of unobtanium, so the only thing left is to develop the laser boring system. I suggest we create an X-Prize.
Yeah, coffee's super addictive. I remember when I was homeless, I used to scrape together any change I could find just to get my next java fix. When things were really bad, I'd break into coffee bars and steal bags of their strongest brew. Fortunately, unlike heroin, the price of a cup of coffee is only loosely tied to its strength. A strong cup of sludge may not taste as good, but honestly, that's like complaining that your china white is too clumpy.

No, the guy *filed* a patent for switches. It doesn't appear that it was ever granted. Slight, but important, distinction.
from now on I can sue anyone who used a systematic approach to generated profit.
Except all I have to do is cite your patent and add a new step or two

Unfortunately, the alternative to public arrest records is much worse: secret arrest records. Do we really want to go down that road?

None of that is illegal to possess, with the exception of child porn. That's why it's an exception.

And has absolutely nothing to say, except that it sucked not being able to talk about it.
Thank God we got that resolved.
Or that price rules supreme in a race to the bottom. The Wii basically sucks for any game not explicitly designed for it, and many that are.
It's hard to beat a $200 flat fee babysitter though.
Tell me what other content is unlawful and I'll answer your question.
True, but this feature isn't available in used vehicles, so the relevance of my post is irrelevant. ;)

Dismissed.
Audi's are surprisingly inexpensive used.
Which is a nice way of saying their resale value sucks.
Or put another way: Audi sells most expensive consumer router, ever.
Why would you drive a 7 when you could drive an 8?
Wow... It's as if you read the title of TFA.

If people would just stop dying, we wouldn't have this problem.
Oh wait, Twitter users? Carry on.
Thanks. It's comforting to know that I only have a handful of years left until "the end." I'll plan accordingly.
And it's not too late, yet, but we'll need massive infrastructure changes or something drastic like say a solar shield to keep anything resembling our current climate.

perhaps the phenomenon should be called gatezilla.
Which brings us to our latest scandal: Gatezillagate.
