Do states really have the power to tax transactions happening in their airspace? Could a state insist that state sales tax be levied on in-flight beverages, for example? Or for that matter, suspend sales of alcohol during the few seconds of flight over a dry county:) ?
There's going to be a few air rage incidents before they figure out that they have to specifically ban voice communications in flight.
The in-flight rag on Delta that had an ad for in-flight WiFi did include a clause specifically banning VoIP apps. With all the Fatherland Security "concerns," I'm surprised they allow the pax any way to communicate with the ground at all while in the air, actually.
True, for those who use OSs that check similarity -- but never underestimate the ingenuity of users to find password which comply with dissimilarity rules but yet are still trivially derived from previous passwords (or, as you point out, sticky notes:) ).
You know, in all seriousness, if I'm going to be paying $5.00+ per gallon for gas, I'd rather the money for the oil it's made from go up north than to the Middle East.
Right -- it's the same reason that programs that were free for DOS/Windows were $25 crippleware for (pre OS X) Macs. The toolchain was expensive and the market much smaller.
It doesn't matter if you're going above the speed limit -- if you're not actively passing, you shouldn't be in the left lane. If people are passing you on the right, even at 100 mph, you shouldn't be in the left lane.
Whatever. This policy brought to you by Anniston, Alabama 36202 still sucks donkey balls. (Put that into your search engine and smoke it, you oppressive gits.)
I am neither an estate planner nor a lawyer, but I've read advice in the past that says that joint accounts are inadvisable in old age because the surviving spouse can be locked out of them pending probate when one spouse dies. It might be worth checking that out and at least making sure each of you would have access to some liquid funds in that unfortunate event.
I doubt Netflix will remain commercial-free. Both cable TV and satellite radio started out initially with reduced commercial interruption as part of the justification for their cost to the end customer relative to the free OTA broadcasts. Once OTA is pretty much dead, Netflix and the like won't be able to resist double dipping and there won't be a thing (aside from casual piracy, which in the US the DOJ is turning the screws on--next target, premium Usenet) the Kettles can do about it except fork over and shut up.
SInce the USDA's services are going to be delivered from a "separate, secure facility," this doesn't seem so much about the cloud as just a standard outsourcing arrangement.
Except if you're collecting payment information, you'll have identifying information of your customers, and thus will inevitably be pressured by the man to save logs--best case being only with a warrant.
Amazon already uses differential pricing. If a retailer knows you are super keen on a particular genre, they may provide you with *higher* pricing than other people because they are reasonably sure you'll pay.
I was thinking maybe I'd seen this with one item (a shaving brush) but wrote it off as coincidence. I'll have to use a fresh browser, change my MAC for a new DHCP address, and try again.

Replying to undo moderation (was trying for insightful but hit redundant. Damn new /.
I don't know--if a user is made to change his/her password every two weeks, and the password cracker finds foo#$xx10, foo#$xx11 will be a good bet.

If it becomes more economical to get the oil from the oil sands, maybe :).
. . . cyber attacks against U.S. targets originating from countries with rich oil reserves are on the rise.

AMD it is for the next build. Thanks for the info.
That f would have some merit if the pipes weren't paid for by taxpayers.

And would have the advantage of having to be bought every fifty years or so. I welcome our immortal pharmaceutical overlords :).
Whether a calorie restricted diet would make me live longer or not, I know it would seem like longer!
Exactly--isn't anyone here old enough to have watched Trading Places?
If I had any points, I'd mod that up. Amazingly, that hadn't occurred to me and I now have another reason to be glad I'm not a Sharepoint admin!

Apple using the term incorrectly doesn't make the incorrect usage correct.

Yup -- not turning on JavsScript for that--no reason it should need it.
