Yeah, well you have to look at the audience... You got mostly white males in the ages of 16-24. They think they know everything about anything and therefore can easily feel comfortable shooting off about entire peoples they have never met. The fact that they're american doesn't help either:-)
I am just going to go ahead and pretend irony was the actual intention of this post.
"Apple has decided not to appeal the decision against it in it in its case against the product-information leaking bloggers. News.com discusses the ramifications of this decision, which may make future online journalists bolder in their actions."
I think it is just buffering. Somebody must have tried to send another internet through the tubes.
Your "Nintendo Wii FTW" comment made me realize that this is actually a good thing. Not because other consoles won't do this, but because other consoles CAN'T do this. Sony patented it, so only Sony can do this (for 10 years-ish, right?).
It is so obviously in Sony's interest to license this tech out that I don't even think they could miss it.
How do you obtain their numbers? Are they using DNS? Are they putting sniffers on all the core routers? Is this even possible to any degree of accuracy? It seems this junk science is probably about as reliable as Neilsen ratings...
Seriously. Someone should tag this story FUD unless we can come up with some actual facts surrounding the issue. The article is so light on detail it is useless and the "claimed on Patriot Act" stuff is something like 4th hand.
We all know this kind of crap happens all the time but we need to have an airtight case if we expect to convince anyone about it.
FTA: And the spacecraft components themselves would exert gravitational forces on the spheres. These forces could be minimised by making the spacecraft as symmetrical as possible and putting its heaviest components as far from the artificial solar system as possible.
"Such an experiment would be quite challenging to set up, but I don't think it is technologically impossible," says MOND expert Stacy McGaugh of the University of Maryland, US.
Not impossible can be quite a stretch to feasible, though.
Neither of David's parents were relevant to his becoming king. Jonathan was the scion of Saul, as he was Saul's son. David, the son of Jesse (and later Jonathan's best friend), was unrelated to Saul, and became king because he was annointed by the prophet Samuel. Neither David's patrilineal, nor his matrilineal line mattered to his being king of Israel.
Your facts were wrong, your point is right.
Now, was that before or after we found out that it was actually Freeza that destroyed planet Vegeta?
With headlines like: Price war with Apple slashes Creative's quarterly profit Creative Technology Ltd, the maker of Nomad and Zen MP3 players, said yesterday its quarterly net profit plunged a worse-than-expected 72% due to a price war with Apple Computer Inc's iPod.
That looks like harm to me.
For the record I think the patent is BS, but (if it wasn't)this is pretty much what these injunctions are designed for.
Answer me this. If China was to launch an assault on Taiwan tomorrow, would Europe run to the defense of a fellow democracy? Of course not. The only friend Taiwan could expect to come to its aid would be the big evil US.
Yeah fucking right. Follow the money guy, we get A LOT MORE from China than Taiwan.
The funiest part is that in WA we have tribal gambling, lotteries, and you can even have actual poker rooms off the reservation if you get the permits etc.
So gambling is apparently fine, it's the online part that is illegal.
Funny thing about the eminent domain rulings, in particular the New London case. The conservatives, i.e. Scalia and Thomas oppossed the ruling, but Ginsberg and the liberal cliche, including O'Conner, I believe, supported it. Exactly the opposite of this decision.
WASHINGTON -- Cities may bulldoze people's homes to make way for shopping malls or other private development, a divided Supreme Court (search) ruled Thursday, giving local governments broad power to seize private property to generate tax revenue.
In a scathing dissent, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (search) said the decision bowed to the rich and powerful at the expense of middle-class Americans.

as it happens i know of one company (with stock) that has blocked myspace from all corporate owned locations and if you somehow get past the block you can be FIRED ON THE SPOT (ie "give me your name tag")
Which are both examples of things private individuals or companies should be allowed to do. This discussion is about what public institutions should be allowed to do.
I'll agree with that, provided you are reffering to his role in Jurassic Park as a mathmatician specializing in chaos theory, and not that Independence Day crap.
Yes, they do, and more efficiently than regulated ones. If regulation solved problems, there would be no pollution...
Are you insane??? What possible reason would polluting businesses have to install expensive scrubbers or stop dumping pollutants in the rivers instead of having them disposed of properly??? That shit is expensive, and with ZERO return on investment they would be insane to undertake that voluntarily.

There's a decrease in the amount of increase. Clearly you need to brush up on your journalistic doublespeak.
Or an introductory course in calculus...

And more importantly, does Netcraft confirm it?

Would you leave them wandering without supervision until they did manage to succeed?
Unfortunately yes, in the United States of America you have the right not to be held until you have commited and been tried of a crime.
The founding fathers valued freedom over security otherwise they would never have started that pesky war for independance in the first place.
Is there *ANY* event these days that does not bring out the conspiracy yahoos?
Yeah, it's almost like someone is planting these crypto loons in order to make the real conspiracies harder to believe!
Umm...I actually have some balls, but can I get the donor ones too?

Sounds like Sony and Blu-Ray.
Considering Samsung is releasing a Blue Ray player BEFORE Sony I am wondering when my Samsung Fairplay compatible product will be out.
Oh righ, never.
Ouch, I don't know what is scarier, that idea of Gates running for pres. or the fact that I might actually vote for him compared to the current crop.

In 2005, the movie industry's total domestic revenue [boxofficemojo.com] was a bit shy of $9 billion.
Intel Corporation's revenue in the same period [google.com] was almost $39 billion.
Holy crap! You mean to tell me that the thing that makes most computers go is somehow more valuable than Hollywood movies? That's insane!

The movie industry is one of the freest markets
Except for that whole (un)limited time monopoly known as copyright...
It wouldn't be so bad if they gave out the uniforms first. They always have such good designers...

Screw both of 'em. The Fly.

Those who have nothing to say will have nothing to fear!
And those who have something to say will also have nothing to fear because nobody will be able to hear them.
