If their job was killing children, would you be arguing semantics about the difference between following their mandate and whether their actions are permissible?
As someone who had godaddy hold my domain hostage, this is great news.
GoDaddy had received a single complaint from an anonymous source, which was apparently enough for them to threaten to revoke my domain if I didn't pay their $200 extortion fee.
And they're adding a new layer of costs. Now instead of just paying for your bandwidth, you have to bribe hundreds of local ISPs to allow access to them.
This is just a sneaky way for AT&T to break net neutrality, first they offer special access to companies with deep pockets, next they start explicitly charging companies for mere access.
You're saying it's not legal for me to run a store that has a TOS that all entrants must agree to which has a clause that says, "i can shoot you in the face if I feel like it"?
Google doesn't (as far as I know) save that data or send it to 3rd parties. Facebook appears to be creating a profile based on those keywords and using it for yet to be defined purposes.
Contextual ads require context.
If all someone is doing is running a function that looks at keywords then displays a relevant ad, this doesn't both me.
If they collect the keywords, save them to a profile db, then sell that profile to others, that's a far more obvious violation of privacy.
>Once you have this awesome protocol for money transmission, the next question is: how to get bitcoins in wide and equitable circulation in the first place?
Why does it have to be a new currency? Why can't we have digital USD that can be transmitted this easily without the use of credit cards?
The government is in charge of printing money, why isn't it in charge of creating/handling digital currency?
See, I thought the value of BTC was changing, but in fact everything else on earth fluctuating wildly in value; meanwhile the value of BTC was completely flat. I was clearly wrong.
Do you also believe that you are the center of the universe and everything revolves around you?
Given how unstable this "currency" has been in the recent past, how can anyone set price points without needing hourly updates to make sure they get a consistent payment?
Right now it's valued at $730, 2 weeks ago it was $200 and a few months ago it crashed.
You cannot run a business with currencies this volatile.

There's something sketchy about having google control access to my remote desktop...
The old "they do it too, so it's ok" defense.

Does it not seem strange to you that you're ok with spying on others, but you're not ok with spying on you?
So spying on China is ok, what about other countries? Can we spy on Canadians? They're not American, so I guess that's a yes?
I'm assuming you have some evidence that your car was towed, right? Like a receipt, or testimony from the driver of the tow truck?
It was being towed in gear with the passenger in the front seat? (cars can sense when there is someone sitting in the seat).

I'm pretty sure the car reports whether or not the car was on or off when it was moving...
If Ford knows people are committing crimes, aren't they legally required to report it, otherwise they become an accessory..?

Damn, I thought I had found a loophole!

If i send a private message to someone on facebook, I feel I deserve the same level of privacy as if I was using gmail to send it.
You can't mod and comment...
I found an animation option on my iP4, it's much smoother/faster now.
I have a 4, how do you turn off the "bling"? my phone is really slow with 7... :(
That is not a government run institution. There should be no fees associated with online money transfers or payments.

You're right, the USD is just 62% of the world's foreign reserve currency...

So you're going to depend on USD to using BTC? What's the point of that?
>The people who have lived through hyperinflation or a currency crisis have managed to do it.
Yeah, by using more stable currencies. There's a reason so many countries use the USD instead of their own currency.
I see what you did there, oh how clever.

>He mocks the stupidity of the Average Joe right in front of their faces and they never catch on.
You realize this supports his claim.
And what if I don't want to burden other people by:
1) using their computer
2) using their electricity
3) using their bandwidth
4) using their space
?
