Exactly. It's not a spam filter, it's an `undesired comment` filter. I'm sure they attempt to prevent several categories of post, not just spam. Perhaps if it told you the real reason it's blocking you - the category - it would be easier to understand and correct, and more open. But perhaps that's not what Facebook is after...
You could replace `cannabis` with `religion` there.
Also, with the links between cannabis usage of musicians, writers etc etc i'm not sure about the critical faculty or good idea/bad idea part of your argument.
Nokia was in trouble, but the mess - what's going to end Nokia - was purely down to Elop. You just don't announce that you're going to abandon your own system in a years time and plump for the doomed Microsoft experiment which had no phones due for many months and expect people to keep buying your stuff.
How does Nokia influence another companies operating system? If they'd chosen Android they could have literally done whatever they wanted to it (a la Amazon, samsung, htc etc). With Microsoft they just make phones to run the OS.
I agree entirely with your last paragraph. Nokia made great phones. We're not alone. There's still a chance someone at Nokia will realise that Nokia is competing with other Android phone manufacturers even if they don't actually make one.
No, this is going to fly way under the radar, as it affects their employees, not customers.
It nicely demonstrates how Steve "Magical thinking as a cure for cancer" Jobs acted a little crazy occasionally. "Jobs is also alleged to have threatened Palm with litigation for not entering into a 'no cold-call' agreement with Apple.". Yeah, sue them for not entering into an illegal pact - that's going to fly.
Uh yeah, if by that you mean `it's the most popular browser`, which it apparently is from time to time (ie people are paid to use IE but opt to use Chrome in their spare time because it's shit-loads better).
If you think the worst thing the US have done to non-USA civilians over the last 50 years is store their email then you really haven't been paying attention.
And don't beg for money for food and medicine etc when you've pissed it all away on nuclear weapons and long distance rockets that you're never going to use. If any of these shitty little countries who've scraped together enough money for a handful of nuclear weapons ever uses them they're going to get every single city destroyed by the end of the same day so what's the point?
People like Nokia hardware - people who'd never heard of HTC a few years ago, and who thought of Samsung as that company which made cheap/crap TVs. I'd buy, or at least consider, a Nokia Android phone. I'd never get a Windows phone though. I had the Touch Diamond and whilst it was good to have a sensible browser on a phone, the difference between it (with it's stupid little drop down menus and laughable limited Microsoft Office apps) and the HTC Desire running Android - well, I laughed then when I first saw the difference and I laugh now when I see ads telling me I can run Office stuff on Windows phones...as if anyone wants to do that.
It's the shitty Microsoft software that's from 2010, not the hardware. People like to say dumb things like 'if you do an Android phone you're competing with lots of other companies doing Android phones' as if this new Microsoft effort isn't competing against Android phones. At least if they did an Android phone there's a chance someone would buy one.
No, cellphones are completely different - they run Linux, have limited local storage, are overpriced and are obsolete 1.5 years later when the OS stops being supported.
64k? That's quite a lot, given what went on with the computers of the 1980s. At first I thought it wa a typo, and it meant 64 bytes. 64k was more space than was actually used by the program code of most Commodore Amiga games, for example. It had 512KB of ram, but even back then, if you'd specified 64k you'd have got some pretty impressive demos.
Someone recap for me please. Millions of pounds for...slightly faster internet on my phone? It's kind of fine now, really. Can I opt out of this, and the extra expense the phone companies are going to pass on down to me, please?
What information is in universities that's not available elsewhere anyway? Surely spying only applies to stuff that was secret in the first place? Otherwise it's calling 'learning', right?

I meant not morally wrong, not that it didn't perhaps breach some bullshit US law or other.

Eh? Unity is - if the graphs at DistroWatch are to be believe - likely to be the cause of the exodus of otherwise happy Ubuntu users to Linux Mint.
She pretended to be a student? Doesn't sound that wrong to me if that's all she did.

Or as I like to call it, "English".

"The problem with Ubuntu's Unity isn't the Maclike global menu as much as"
Unlike your sig file, Unity will still be a confusing mess when it's finished.
What is going on?

Also they are not creative and have no common sense so you'll need to explain everything 5 times really clearly or they'll make a real mess of it.
But hey, they're cheap!

To be fair, it wasn't remotely funny; it was more a sort of a flaccid, farting sound.

It could have been worse - it could have been a copy of the (ironically titled) Unity interface from Ubuntu.
