That's too funny. Why does soda use high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar? Because the government instituted sugar import quotas. The price went up and industrial users switched over to corn syrup. Corn and the rest of big agriculture is subsidized by the government.
But it doesn't stop there - who created the food pyramid, nutrition labels, etc? Again, the government. Not to benefit to you and me but to benefit the food industry and big agriculture. The stuff that goes on -- with government approval -- at factory farms and slaughterhouses is disgusting. But the government would rather crack down on organic farmers selling a bottle of unpasteurized milk across state lines.
Do they stand out because they have better hardware? Any manufacturer can throw together the exact same components (Samsung will even sell them to you). Or is it because they have better advertising and better deals with the TelCos? The networks are the people that choose which phones you can choose from, after all.
Not only that, the OP has no understanding whatsoever about corporate donations. Corporations are limited to $2500 per candidate, same as a person. PACs and party committees can give $5,000 so being libertarian puts him at a disadvantage there.
Maybe he means Citizens United. Those aren't donations, they're independent expenditures and aren't counted as a donation (and you as an individual aren't limited, either).
Since he mentioned A$, busking and Oz, he's talking about Australia and AUD (which is currently on par with USD). Australian minimum wage is A$15/hour =~ $15/hour = $600/Week
Dyson spheres are an interesting thought experiment but fairly stupid when you think about the logistics (as mentioned in previous comments, so I won't get into it). At least on our scale. Just as elctrons orbit the nucleus, moons orbit planets, planets order stars, stars orbit the galaxy center, galaxies orbit the giant turtle and form supergalxy clusters... There's no reason to say intelligent life composed of cells composed of molecules and atoms couldn't also exist at a larger scale. (Ask the symbiotic bacteria in your gut sometime). And intelligent life at a larger scale certainly could biuld a dyson sphere. Hell, maybe we are part of the dyson sphere.
The article is a link to another slashdot article. Seriously, what the fuck? If you cared, shouldn't you just comment in the original article rather than here? Or post the full text here instead of a summary of a link to another page on slashdot?
At least you're not posting comments as stories. Yet.
Maybe the Dice overloads will get rid of this dumb shit?
Put that caulk in all the holes. And you can never have enough caulk. Some people prefer black caulk but that's up to you. Just make sure you get as much caulk as you can. Two caulks, three caulks at a time, the more the merrier. Invite your friends, the pizza boy, the pool cleaner, the plumber etc to join in with your caulk party.

To me, that just shows that Apple is using FreeBSD, not NetBSD.
He's the guy from the goatse pics.
Seconded. It's got immediate feedback, graphics and the turtle for the youngsters. And if you look a little deeper, it's lisp without the parenthesis.
Can women consent to donate blood?
The johns aren't being charged with a crime.
What if your software is full of bugs? Or gets rooted? Is that how you want people to think of your grandmother?

Apple sold 5 million iPhone 5s on opening weekend. As of 1 month ago, Nokia has sold 7 million Lumias. Total.
The Lumia was introduced in November 2011, so that's 10 months of sales. Apple sold over 100 million iPhones last year.
Google's customers are advertisers. Some of them are complaining.
That's a state issue, not a federal issue.

puh-leaze. These are musicians. They live with their girlfriends.
I already have worms in my poop.

I'm voting for the man (again) but he's like a deer in the headlights without his teleprompter.
Don't forget John Adam's Sedition Act.

Gimp is a program for cripples?
Ok, that one is self explanatory.
It's not about telling German court what they can and can't do, it's about telling Motorola what they can and can't do.
