Additionally, Microsoft licenses the OS to manufacturers (like HTC, Samsung, etc) who sell to carriers (Verizon, ATT, Sprint, etc) who sell to consumers. Carriers take a loss on the phone to make money on the monthly charges for the next 2+ years. Carriers set the "retail" price and BOGO offers, not Microsoft/Google, not HTC/Samsung/LG/Motorola.
No surprise that the DHS, the people who don't understand the 4th amendment don't understand the 5th either. No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Aside from the fact that Apple won't allow Steam on iOS, I fail to see the need. On the PC, Steam was the first good app store. Game developers can use the iTunes App store (and get a better percentage than they do on Steam). On Android, maybe, since Google is pushing free apps with advertising, but the only advantage there would be supporting more countries. What would steam bring over existing app stores? Play and sync Plants vs Zombies on your phone and your pc?
Let's say you're Microsoft. And you pay a third party to develop a tool and slap your name on it. Then it turns out that it was pirated GPL code. Or let's say you're Microsoft. And your China division creates a website. Then it turns out that they copied everything -- layout, graphics, css -- from another website.
The underwear bomber (he's supposedly the reason we're being molested) had 80 grams of explosives. Depending on who you believe, it is or isn't enough to destroy a plane. The typical shit ranges from 72-470 grams, so most people would have no problem fitting twice that up their ass.
Senate confirmation doesn't prevent someone from being fired (cf Andrew Johnson, 17th President. Particularly his impeachment). John Pistole (TSA chief douchebag) or Janet Napolitano (DHS chief cunt) could stop them today. Barack Obama could stop them today (either by telling them to stop, or firing her cottage cheese ass for gross incompetence, or with an executive order).
There was the original CBS poll that showed 80% support. That was before anybody was paying attention (and who knows how they phrased the question). Then the Washington Post/ABC poll with 64% support for the scanners, 48% support for molesting. Zogby has a more recent poll showing even more public opposition (the raw data isn't available but 61% oppose scanning and molesting).
Allegedly, TSA agents don't like molesting passengers. But they do it anyhow. Just following orders! Some are complaining that they're being called Nazis. They might not be rounding up children and shoving them in an oven, but most Nazis didn't either. Most just followed orders, did what they were told. Being molested by tsa goons is not the holocaust, but it's the same attitude that made both possible, and they're just as guilty of being worthless pieces of shit.
Sadly, you're liable to be arrested for assault if you fart while a TSA goon has his hand down your pants, fondling your ass. John Pistole says that shouldn't happen, yet it does and nobody gets fired or arrested.
Not acceptable. A couple days, ago, a man in San Diego stripped down to tight bike shorts. The TSA told him to put his pants on so they could molest him. He was arrested for not following instructions and making a recording of the incident.

The fundamental purpose of government is to protect your rights. And yet the government now says you must give up your rights to fly. Don't like it? Just take the train. Until they require rapescan and molesting for that, too (subways and trains have been terrorist targets in other countries). But you can still drive, at least until they remember car bombs. But really, you need to give up your rights so the government can protect your rights.
A coworker went through the rapescan a couple months ago. Get this, though -- he was wearing a buttplug at the time and they didn't notice it. I think it was a metal one, too (he was caught by the metal detector first).

What part of "CitiBank" did you not understand?
It makes it easy to track down and rape people from facebook. No, that was the kin, nevermind.

symbian.
there are plenty of FREE (as in GPL) 3D engines on Linux. These posers should take their closed-source engine and cram it up their ass.

Flying nude doesn't protect you from a suicide bomber that packed his asshole with explosives.

The TSA has been hands on with 10-inchers for a while.

You don't have the right to fly. Or take the train. Or the bus. Or drive. If you don't want to be molested by the government, you can walk.
I've got a fever and the only prescription is more government!
yes, and when they killed the jews, you didn't care because you weren't jewish.

how about a "fuck the tsa" lead paint t-shirt? Maybe some leather-studded chastity underwear and crotchless chaps, too.
Also known as "the TSA files". Oh, only 7 pages... nevermind.
There have been reports of breast/butt implant bombs. Seems like a lot of work when there are far better suicide bomb options.
