And perhaps when you sell millions of units and a good percentage of them are of the age that likes to take things apart for no other reason than being bored they decided maybe if they make it a little more difficult to do it would cut down on the number of returns to the store for broken units.
The word play is only word play because we comprehend it as that. For the computer it's a matter of finding the meaning of the question at hand without being influenced by whether it's written as expected.
Not having read or ever heard of this term before my take on the word is that because people have so much memory and streamed apps can have such huge buffers and are so popular you constantly have a few people pegging their network connection to initially fill their buffer even though they don't have to, needlessly congesting the network and possibly impairing those who need low latency interactive connections.
I'm not saying I agree that she should win, but I have yet to see a comment in here that actually addresses the suit. It's being claimed that this woman has at least some degree of a mental condition. Seeing her undies on the web made her believe she was constantly being watched by someone. The duress that this caused is what she is suing over.
At least make some arguments that actually pertain to the case.
While you may have a valid argument the simple fact is that a Federal judge doesn't agree. You give a nice rant but gloss over quite a few specific details that pertain to the case, specifically to the constitutions's Commerce Clause. Last I knew having children is not commerce (at least legally:)) so your argument about child tax credits doesn't really fit. Nice try though.
Additionally you seem to be the emotional one as at no point did I say which side I support. Personally I could care less about this. I have insurance and believe the more people covered the better. I actually believe in the long run this could be a good thing as failure now will hopefully open up the only logical path which is universal health care of some form.
The smart ones understand that a dish that doesn't smell of food probably doesn't have food in it. The dumb ones simply don't believe their keenest sense.
I think it's pretty telling that a company that is considered to employ such brilliance and be on the technological forefront in the end exists simply to peddle adverts. Surely there are better uses of the resources.

Not entirely true. If you don't mind having a giant red flagged waved when it comes time to audit people you don't need to provide a SSN.
It only took 17 years for slashdot to pick up this story.

So you are 100% certain of this?

Ok. If you say so!
Release the Piranha!

But that's just a guess.
I'd be ticked if someone were to remotely keep my coffee maker from turning on in the morning! The horror!

What you describe is called being a Math Major.
You clearly only read the title and then drew your own conclusions.

Oh really? Anyone who at least didn't question the constitutionality of this really (regardless of where you end up standing) needs to get a clue.
Sounds like a good opportunity for Spike to get one more in before the end of the year.
It's not that they don't matter it's that degrees and the subsequent salaries that they probably command are often over valued.
I like how he himself points out we have no time, direction, or distance yet somehow he is able to discern that it is going too slow.
This doesn't apply to this crowd.
Let's just nuke Klandathu first.

IT really isn't all that hard for the most part. It's time to stop equating yourselves to engineers. Again, for the most part.
I'll hold out for Pam Anderson to get to me.
It appears the US has lost it's edge even in the number of people to sue.

I just had a Jon Katz flashback! Does he have a new identity now? All the summary needed was a post columbine reference.
