If anything, this is the exact opposite. If Disney could magically know what rides and food me and my family wanted to eat, and made it readily available with minimum waiting in line...
Anonymous has no accountability at all. If taken with a grain of salt and backed by good police work, what they provide could very well be useful, but they're essentially no different than the anonymous tip line. Tips do provide leads, but they also provide a significant ratio of noise as well.
Significant public noise, which might make it difficult to select an unbiased jury in the area.
Why do they grow rice in Texas (a drought state)? There's always a big hubbub in Austin when the LCRA releases water to the south Texas rice farmers when we're in the middle of a drought.
Take a look at lesser known CMU (and I should know, I went there. When friends and relatives ask me where I attended, it's always followed by "Oh... and where is that?"). They admitted LESS students than MIT...
Jeeze, it can't be that good of a school if they admitted FEWER students than MIT.
Highly charged Iron particles huh? Hmm, how about generating a rotating magnetic field around the ship? aka "Force Field".
You mean something to shield you from the bombardment of particles? Could someone then announce to ground control when they break orbit for Mars, "Shields Up. Proceed."?
Why would you ever veer off a bridge, causing structure damage? A bus hitting a car will most likely just cause vehicle damage, and some people will be inconvenienced. That's what you get for riding the bus.
Why wouldn't the driverless bus and driverless car stop and avoid the situation completely? Sounds more like a decision problem, not a morality problem.
And where's the news for nerds angle? Where's the story where they make the drone more bullet-resistant? They shot it down for a fourth time. That thing should be darn hard to get down if they're actually improving it. Deploy the smoke screen!
the republicans are butt-hurt about a black guy winning.
twice.
the first time, they swore that their goal was to ensure he was a 1-term president.
As the number of minorities increases, it will be interesting to see how the Republican party responds. There was a lot of chatter last night on the news networks about how Bush really mobilized the Latino vote, but Romney couldn't get any of it in this election.
Some predicted someone like Marco Rubio, Senator from Florida as a potential Republican candidate in 2016. It will be interesting to see what happens to the Republican party if the son of Cuban immigrants is their candidate for President. Either the party will evolve, or it will simply cease to be relevant in American politics.
Find out your potential market. There may be a reason there is currently no last-mile provider; perhaps people use cellular data or satellite or have just decided that dial-up is ok.
There's some great advice above about starting a small company, but don't go to all that trouble unless you know there will be enough customers to make it worth your while; don't start a business with a product that no one wants.
However, if you want to start a business that has one customer: you, then starting a small ISP sounds like a great way to subsidize your Internet cost and perhaps a good tax write-off as long as you don't pop-up on the IRS's radar.

But if it was the ground power battery pack that powers the plane when the engines are off, how likely would it have started while flying?
I really couldn't take any comment seriously that started with "my personal faith walk..."
Get that shit away from me. I can't stand it.
Now I know you what to get for your birthday. When is AC's birthday, anyway? 1/1/1970?

Don't grow rice in a desert!

Man, I really want to move to Kansas so I can live in Dub's Dread. Dub's Dread: I am the law!
It'd only be cool till you realized that it's a suburb named after a golf course that's named after . . . a different golf course.
That's even better! Can I send them all my hipster douchebags around here? We're all full up.

TFA notes the language "Assembled in the USA" so that's pretty clear.
Hit the bus!

Hey, we're giving our OS away for free, no license or hack needed!
That which is given has no value?
Apple sells hardware. Microsoft sells software.
Telling MS to sell Windows cheaper is like saying that Apple should be giving away iPhones.
David Kappos, you have a new enemy.
Exactly.

I'm excited to see the end of the PC era for no other reason than it also means the end of "this is the year of Linux on the desktop" predictions.

How could someone with such a low uid be prone to such hyperbole? Six years ahead, in a genre of devices that is not even six years old?
As annoying as social media may be, it does provide sources of information...
DHS is on the lookout for the nefarious 4chan terrorist Ahsheet Mahdrawz; they believe he is planning to attack NYC with a "dirty bomb".

That's why I come here, to be told what an idiot I am.
You should talk with your daughter more often.
I think that's probably why he doesn't talk to his daughter more often: he gets enough of being called an idiot.
