    What corp that has big money these days doesn't have Congress, a CongressCritter, or some type of politician in their pocket?

  3. Really, you don't think those deep pockets are going to somehow pass their savings on to the end users?

    How about more ads, or hikes in subscriber rates, instead of you're $9 NetFlix sub imagine $40 for a NetFlix stream sub, to cover costs of their user base that watches on mobile media.

    Anytime a company chooses to do something and passes it off to consumers as a mega corp will foot the bill, we usually end up paying in the end anyway.

  6. Illinois State...Really? on Illinois Law Grounds PETA Drones Meant To Harass Hunters · · Score: 1

    It seems this is more a topic for the FAA vs the state of Illinois. I do recall there being something in FAA FAR's about operation of a drone by commercial entities and that operation requiring a COA for the drone and pilot training.

    The very least they could be reported to the FAA for unsafe operation of aerial vehicles.

    For an idea google Trappy of Team Black Sheep. http://www.suasnews.com/2013/10/25471/the-faas-complaint-against-trappy/

    Given the broad definitions the gov tends to use, I'd say their idea of metadata probably contains a great deal of individually identifiable markers that others would consider to be more than just "metadata".

    Yep yep, the article linked in the summary even states "Apple, which initiated the legal fight in 2011, had 13 percent market share in the third quarter of this year, while Samsung had 31 percent, according to IDC research."

    Sounds like sour grapes to me.

    I know I love my Galaxy S3 and have never had an iPhone due to not wanting to be locked to iTunes.

    I'm actually surprised Apple is only going after them in the US, though the US is primarily the only place Apple is relevant, everywhere else it's pretty much Samsung.

    I can attest to this, in my younger days I worked assisting glaziers working at a Naval hospital doing some window work. My job was to go before them and clean windows so they could apply solar film (read tint) to the windows. We were required to wear hard hats, what I found was that while walking around the hospital wearing the hard hat no one questioned your presence anywhere including an empty operating theater.

    Point is no one really questions anymore.

    Do you really believe the NSA foiled a cyberplot of an unnamed nation attempting a BIOS exploit?

    I question the validity, considering my BIOS needs to be flashed via USB, and to my knowledge no government official has been to my house to flash it. In fact it's not been on at home in 3 years.

    Really?

    Boxing - each boxer will throw punches

    Football (American) - they will each try and score goals, most of the play time will be eaten up by fat guys waiting to move the ball - followed by mindnumbing commentary.

    Football (Everywhere but America) - guys will haul ass up and down the pitch trying to score a goal.

    Tennis - ball will bounce from one side of the net to the other

    Hockey - guys will skate from one side of the rink to the other trying to score a goal by hitting a small disklike object.


    Did I miss any? Barring racing that's about what happens in every sport ever aired or watched. The winners / losers may differ but the same shit happens each and every game.
