Their contribution was to help pave the way for the lawsuit to disappear. Sounds like a win/win between them and the defendants. Also, the plaintiffs get a settlement. A technical win/win/win. I'm sure everyone will spend the next weekend at their winter beach houses celebrating with some fine caviar and champagne relieved to see that privacy is once again on their side.
Fund his opponent in the next election. Put in some time in getting the competition elected.
And amazingly enough the next election is this November and he's running without a democrat (or any other as far as I know) opponent. It's being handed to him.
I agree, I was convinced to shell out the cash for the first time in 2009 after always owning PCs (and a couple free Ataris & 1 free Mac in the 90s).It was definitely more expensive than comparable Win laptops. But I had a good job and low expenses. What got me was that it had a metal case, the multi touch track pad is awesome and it was a reasonably powerful computer. Also, I dj in nightclubs using Serato which happens to be more stable in OS X (it started on the Linux platform but I suppose they switched due to OS market share).
I currently dual boot it in Win7 (which I am using at the moment). I also got a small amount of RAM then installed my own after my warranty was up. If I had to gripe about anything at this point it's really mostly the price and sometimes I wanna mess with something that OS X just doesn't allow me to access, but the fact that it's based on BSD has remedied some of those issues.
OK, and North Korea is known as The Democratic People's Republic of North Korea. Holy crap, democratic republics are evil... wait... isn't the United States of America a democratic republic? Damn, I didn't realize we were so fucked as a country.
They forgot to ask for all of your snail mail to be scanned and GPS tracking logs in case you have secret meetings in person so they can at least suggest a conspiracy depending on who you're with.
There's been a new comedic meme emerging, "Anything you do might get you sued by Apple." and people are starting to run with it. Maybe the 1 Billion dollar verdict sounds ridiculous to people who's assets are measured in thousands?
Non-technophile and iphone owning friends of mine are posting memegenerator images or making silly comments about the lawsuit on Facebook. I'm seeing the same stuff from random people on sites like imgur and tumblr. Samsung also just unveiled a new Galaxy mirrorless interchangeable lens (AKA 4/3s AKA 3rd gen) android powered digital camera that some people are excited about.
Personally, I'm not sure on what the reason is but I am surprised at how many people aren't cheering for Apple in this one.
The doors for the screening will open at 9:00p, with landing expected to occur at around 10:30p. Admission, which is limited to patrons 21 and over, is FREE, but you must reserve a spot in advance by sending an email to: curiosity(AT)livingroomtheaters.com.
Nah, they're saying "Internet freedom" is a basic right. Like freedom of speech, freedom from oppression, freedom of religion. Your rights on the Internet as apposed to the right to free Internet access.
NEOCam and Sentinel sound like they're primed for accidental sentience before they come up with the decision that the biggest threat to Earth are it's inhabitants.
Picture a bomb shaped like a rocket. When the explosive charge (fuel) in the bomb (rocket) burns the rapid expansion of gasses with nowhere to go causes the bomb (rocket) to explode violently.
Romney would have a much better chance of saving us from the aliens. He'd simply recruit an army of Mormon missionaries to invade the aliens' landing craft and annoy them until they escape back to their home planet.
I searched for myself and Spokeo lists my last address in a previous state (13 years ago) and correctly identifies my parents as being a male and female. Amazing technology they have there.
Curious, do you personally believe that authors should be compensated for their work? If so, do you attempt to pay them in any way if you do enjoy what you downloaded, what is your method of compensation?
Sent from a long distance, nearly undetectable, essentially unstoppable. When it arrives, its arrival is itself a weapon, plus whatever payload it is carrying.
This is good news, that means there's a chance the government will fund a research project.
"Why are we here?" To think we finally know the answer to our origin... Our galaxy and everything in it is just some quick heat-n-eat snack for some celestial being. Now that's food for thought.
Wow, I only recently started delving into Sci-Fi stories. Never heard of this one but it sounds cool. Thanks for the post! (The most recent one I read is "
Machines That Think: The Best Science Fiction Stories About Robots and Computers" A pretty good collection.)
Wish I had mod points to mod this up. But for some reason I haven't gotten mod points for over 2 years when I used to get them constantly. Well at least we'll get some variation in the denial message when SOPA comes out.
I hope at some point the entire mobile market is frozen solid with injunctions dependent on a infinite loop of IP/Patent cases. I will probably die from laughing too hard. Not sure if my guts will explode or if I'll have a aneurysm. On second thought, I'd rather not die. I'll have to carry some emergency Valium just in case.

The Priv3 and Ghostery browser plugins can block those Facebook and Google+ like buttons for you.
Chuck "Walker" Norris himself will watch over this and will roundhouse-kick you until you learn to respect democracy!
He's just doing his part to prevent "1000 years of darkness".

The only place I ever heard Diaspora even mentioned at all was right here on Slashdot.
Same here, and I forgot about it since it was a late night and just remembered when I saw today's article.

Hopefully that'll spur some congressional envy and NASA will get a bigger budget in 2014.
They'll be streaming it live at Livingroom Theaters in Portland, OR. It's a small boutique theater. Livingroom Theaters homepage.

I have never been very good at FPS but one day I was just on fire on CS server and got accused of cheating. I was kind of proud... until I got banned.

Pretty much every bar I've ever been to has this minimum CC fee. I did not know they aren't allowed to do that.

What do you do with the physical media? Store it in the attic or something? Maybe stack it up into the shape of a couch and throw a sheet over it?
