But, as pointed out in the article: "Obama's directive, memorialized in written instructions from the Justice Department, appears to have been widely ignored."
Yeah, given the rest of his administration, I'd be much more likely to attribute this to incompetence rather than malfeasance.
So when they introduced the new PSP which requires you to utilize a singular SONY site as a gateway to acquire your games, that wasn't a move to push for more proprietary control?
No. You were already required to go through Sony. Every system since the Atari 2600 has employed techniques to allow control by the manufacturer. They did drop their UMD format.
Although, FWIW, there *are* groups that coordinate to send FOIA requests on topics. I don't think the purpose is to discredit Obama via bad FOIA numbers -- but the purpose is generally to discredit *someone* via the information gathered.
What's the exemption for information that could potentially discredit the government?
Like the homeowners who borrowed excessively at teaser rates, our deficit strategy will work great... until it ends swiftly and with terrible consequences.
This thing has been shocking for years. At every major point in the development, Boeing basically said, "trust us" and the Government basically said, "OK".
This is how government works. Why is anyone shocked?
It is a pretty clear sign of xenophobic when people are only concerned about having a fence on ONE border... racist, really.
That's like saying avoiding a dangerous neighborhood that happens to be full of a particular race is racist. That a particular race inhabits that neighborhood is irrelevant and to assume so is racist in itself.
The reason that border is focused on is that is where the majority of unfettered immigration comes from.
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.
Meanwhile I built 4 castles on hills around your swamp.
Or better even: claiming that someone is British and then letting them refer to someone's butt as her "fanny". That doesn't mean what you think it means, Americans.
To each his own. I actually bought two copies of Demon's Souls because I imported the wrong language at first... and I figured it would be more fun if I could understand what was going on...
Homer: Hey, how come you never play your guitar any more?
Bart: I'll tell ya the truth, Dad. I wasn't good at it right away, so
I quit. I hope you're not mad.
Homer: [sweetly] Son, come here! Heh heh heh...
[Bart sits on Homer's knee]
Of course I'm not mad. If something's hard to do, then it's not
worth doing! You just stick that guitar in the closet next to your
short-wave radio, your karate outfit and your unicycle, and we'll
go inside and watch TV.
What kind of technologist bought his first smartphone a little over a year ago?
Smartphone penetration has been growing slowly. I'm in a tech field. I got to play with friends G1s, iPhones, and BlackBerrys. They all had drawbacks I found unacceptable at the time. I did like the iPhone best except for Apple's walls, but I wasn't about to touch the thing until it could at least do MMS, which I'd had for years already.
So I bought my very first smarthpone, an iPhone, in July 2009, about 9 months ago. It is indeed the best smartphone I have ever owned. It isn't, however, the best smartphone I've ever used.
When I buy my Nexus One in a couple months, the iPhone will then still be the second best I've owned at least.
Slashdot Mirror
Plenty of multitasking. Just limited forms for third party apps. But apps can be multi-threaded.
Call me when I can run a third party alarm clock of my choosing while browsing.
...or watch a movie.
So my Mom will be able to browse over to ABC to watch Lost? Huh, I thought they were still using Flash.
Unlike the other tablets, the iPad is designed with an interface done correctly for a tablet
How do you know it's done correctly? Are you from the future? Admit it, you're from the future, aren't you?!
There's therapy available for such issues...
Really? Have you used it? Do a lot of other people?
You're right, I'm close minded and stupid. I'll try to moderate the idiocy and hypocrisy in my comments in the future.
Sorry to take up your time.
Only if your a sociopath. You're basically okaying the exploitation of people's ignorance.
He specified having warning labels. I would support legislating that, but not forcing companies to pay patent fees.
He makes fun of a lot of stuff but never lies unless its really sarcastic.
Never is a big word. He has, in fact, presented highly distorted information.
Brietbart funded the videos of the two kids going into ACORN offices
Is funding undercover reporting somehow unacceptable? Or only when you don't like the results?

The PSPGo does not use a UMD.

What's the exemption for information that could potentially discredit the government?
If our deficit were such a problem, the government wouldn't be able to borrow at under 1%.
Also, they are able to borrow under 1% because they are buying it from themselves.
Like the homeowners who borrowed excessively at teaser rates, our deficit strategy will work great... until it ends swiftly and with terrible consequences.
You like being denied for those pre-existing conditions, don't you?
This has always confused me. If my spouse passes away, can I call up and get a million dollar policy the next day?
It's not really insurance if you get it for something pre-existing.

Well, it's that or kill all the old people. Your choice.
Can we do both?

Of course I also don't understand people who say "Babylon 5 has lousy acting"
With coaching even those with Asperger's can learn to read other human's emotions.
Or better even: claiming that someone is British and then letting them refer to someone's butt as her "fanny". That doesn't mean what you think it means, Americans.
It's where you might keep a pack of fags, right?
JASON!
My buddies watched me play Demon's Souls several times. They would laugh if I ever asked them to watch me play the guitar.
