The real customer is Verizon, or Voda, or whomever the cell provider is. And the providers want to sell the crap they make, not good and free alternatives.

The problem is that you give a bill to only one person. Most disease is not like that.
So much for the "Freedom to use the code the way you want." And this was a poor knee-jerk reaction to Sony. People forget that First4 used the GPL illegally. (No notice, and no source) They can already be hit for copyright violations.
So does this mean a small website could sue for extortion or sabotage if the network performance is poor? With this liability and the potential loss of common carrier status for the "paid off" pages, I would think the company lawyers would be nervous. But then again, it seems no company is looking ahead to potential liability anymore.
Considering where they started, just getting to BAD is a tenfold increase! And to be honest, they have come a long way. They just have a VERY long way to go.
Am I the only one sick of "Man takes a piss" being a headline if the man is from, works for, or is in some way near Google? I mean what is the threshold for news these days?
The control thing is kinda silly. If the root servers become unstable due to government interference, people will use alternative servers. It happened before. There is often a technical solution for government stupidity. Even if the poweres that be don't want it...
Call me odd, but I want my phone to actually be a good phone. I miss my old StarTac. Awesome reception, incredible call clarity, and a battery that would last a day and a half. Unlike my current phone with a dead battery by lunch... But I can take really crappy pictures. I would rather have many devices that do there jobs well, than one device bad at all of them.
With the right calculations, and enough time, you could do it with a model rocket engine. It is surprisingly easy to make something "fall." Just a little harder to pick where it lands...
A friend of mine works at NASA JSC. He has been telling me design nightmares for years. Last week he was saying within a year it will probably be deorbited. Design by committee does not work for space exploration.
This has the potential to be either one of the best, or one of the most disappointing movies of the year. I am trying not to hope too much for the former, and keep my expectations low. Too often lately it seems that low expectations are the key to good movies.
It will only get that 30 mpg if you drive it like a Prius, or at half the speed of those slow SUVs. Drive it like a sports car, and you will be lucky to get 20mpg.

I guess they wouldn't be welcome today... Could be why we have empty pop now.
Oh, and I also own a camera. Perhaps rearranging the bits of silver on the film to show naked little boys doing naughty things to my dogs (which I own) SHOULD BE LEGAL.
"And I just can't believe kids today..." People have been saying this since the robber barons at the turn of the last century. It is bad now, but it will swing back. Attacking the Red Cross actually has Joe Sixpack wondering what kind of ass-hats they are. Now we just need to convince the 14 year olds that think Britney Spears and Ashleighy Simpson are original.
The thing is, a lot of Nextels customers used to be Sprint customers. Back around 2000, Sprint was it for the road warrior. Big bucket of minutes, and no roaming. No one could touch them. But the poor customer service and constant billing mistakes drove everyone off. The technology won't mean squat. If the merger goes with Sprint billing and customer service, they will be buying a shell.

A politician / government employee used an ounce of common sense? This IS news!

One of the quotes from the CDC official when asked how he felt about sums it how. "How does 'shit scared' grab you?"

The biggest barrier is Online Games. Until WoW will work with it, it will be stuck. And half the online games won't even work with a firewall.

Anyone else amused that they quoted the text saying not to "distribute or reproduce" any portion of the text? Hehe... Too late!

My question is, how long did it take before anyone noticed? "Hey! These adds are more relevant than usual!"

I take it you live in Greenwich? ;)
But I keep my phone in my front pocket. (Currently a crappy LG flip) With a phone that big, it could be ... awkward.

The 2.3 million was only $1.75 in cash. The rest was in a stock swap valued at 2.3 million. Valued by who, I have no idea...

You own naked little boys?
