If one is that concerned about having a criminal record one should refrain from committing crimes. All he had to do was write a short post on his blog to call attention to whatever issue it was that was bothering him. Instead he broke into a server room, installed a computer, and illegally downloaded thousands of documents. I think 6 months and a criminal record is about right for that sort of thing.
Revenues aren't profits. All that money needs to go back into the company to keep it afloat. On $89 billion dollar revenues, expenditures exceeded that figure; they lost $240 million last fiscal year. Million dollar fines would definitely hurt Amazon.
You're joking but I feel that the 2nd Amended does guarantee the people the same weapons to which the government has access. Now of course we can't have John Q Public running around with a thermonuclear device so I believe the solution would be that the government can't have them either.
ISIS is worth an estimated $2 billion and has been around since 1999 and would love to nuke any Western target but they haven't. That they haven't tells me they don't have a bomb. That they don't have a bomb tells me that it isn't that easy.
I was under the definite impression that Google did make a promise to deliver the most relevant search results. It's still on their support page:
"When a user enters a query, our machines search the index for matching pages and return the results we believe are the most relevant to the user. Relevancy is determined by over 200 factors, one of which is the PageRank for a given page. PageRank is the measure of the importance of a page based on the incoming links from other pages. In simple terms, each link to a page on your site from another site adds to your site's PageRank. Not all links are equal: Google works hard to improve the user experience by identifying spam links and other practices that negatively impact search results. The best types of links are those that are given based on the quality of your content."
I see nothing in there about cooking the results so that Google can make a few extra bucks.
If a someone released from prison murders again then it's the State that failed to rehabilitate. Civilized countries like Norway have a very low recidivism rate because their justice system isn't about revenge it's about helping people who are mentally disturbed. http://www.nytimes.com/roomfor...
The USA is the only G7 country that still executes people and they don't care if it's a woman, a juvenile, or someone with autism. The only other countries that execute people with the gusto of the USA are China, Iran, and North Korea. Instead of trying to come up with new methods the US should be phasing out this barbaric practice.
New science has shown it won't be as easy as he once thought. But even newer science could mean it's even easier than he dreamed. For example, if Lockheed-Martin delivers on the promise of compact fusion then all of these so called issues are washed away in a river of free energy.
Motorola Mobility does not pay but Motorola Solutions does pay. And didn't Google sell Motorola Mobility to Lenovo anyway? The point is that Google used patented code and left all Android vendors exposed.
Google would demand to see what? Google already acknowledges Microsoft's patents and pays a licensing fee. Samsung also pays. They paid $1 billion to MS last year to use Android.
....when a studio like Warner Brothers produces their own gritty reboot of a character,
Batman is the story of a boy who witnessed his parent's murders and then decided to dress up like a bat in order to punish criminals. Other than the 60s live action TV show and the 80s Superfriends cartoon when wasn't Batman gritty? Have you read The Dark Knight Returns? Or The Killing Joke? Or the original Detective Comics stories? Even Burton had Batman kill at least a dozen henchman in 1989. FFS Bats was blowing guys away with a pistol in 1939. Are you aware of the Batman mythos at all? Who submitted this? Oh.
That's the most shocking fact from the article. That it was decided by a handful of astronomers. What would the decision have been if everyone had voted? Or at least a majority of attendees?
I don't support the corps in this matter at all but I don't support or trust the government either. The Internet doesn't need 300 pages of FCC regulations slapped onto it even if they're meant to "protect" the consumer. There must be a happy medium. The EFF is wary as well. They put it quite bluntly: "The FCC's role must be firmly bounded." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/...
Net Neutrality is not a policy despite your attempt to make it one by capitalizing it. And what they're proposing is a set of regulations; not the absence of all regulation. The FCC has already introduced the regs; they comprise 300 pages of new rules. That is certainly not how the Internet was run "from Day 1."

Maybe we could dilute it with fresh water.
Energy weapons don't provide the satisfaction you get when gibbing someone with a gun that shoots bullets. Even the sound of them is lame.
Died in 1984.
Pay them directly using Patreon or something similar. No reason to make your payments to YouTube/Google.
So then this is a complete non-story that shouldn't be on the front page.

Am I supposed to be impressed? I was playing with Omnibot in the 80s and it could do everything this POS can do.

It's well known that the EU routinely negotiates with terrorists. They've paid millions to ISIS: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07...

And how should the government do that? With the tax income that these companies managed to avoid paying? Cool story bro.

How can you say the FCC's proposals are in no way bad when even the EFF doesn't like some of them? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/...
Just like on Star Trek. When you're in deep space you just set a 24 hour clock and go with it. Why do you have to observe the Martian day at all?
