People will just void paying it, by mail ordering or otherwise. the point is that mandating what is essentially a moral issue will never work, dumbass.
"I'd assume many, many people have the same situation"
take your lame anime nick using ass some place else kid, not many people live 50 feet from work. plenty of people are forced to commute to work 30km or more each day, due to high rent costs in cities.
"The grocery store is 5 miles away"
LOL, so go buy one of these cars, you'll have to walk the last 2km...
how useless is this thing. i could do a 13km ride on my push bike for nothing, and the bike costs a 20th that this stupid car costs. in traffic i bet i could beat the fucking car to.
solve the storage problem with electric cars, then come back to me. and if anyone cry's about lithium ion batteries being the answer, i'll slap them, because they still suck.
your kidding yourself if you think buying a prius is going to have any impact on improving the environment.
oh, and C02 is only a minor greenhouse gas - the man made greenhouse is a myth. your simply being sucked into buying expensive cars using emotional blackmail.
it's not trolling when your point is valid - there's no need to recreate CVS, the license for CVS is perfectly fine and if you don't like CVS because of it's various problems, there's svn which is great.
the main source of theo thinking SVN isn't secure, is because that control freak didn't write it himself. which is ironic because openssl and openssh are 2 packages responsible for huge security holes over the years, both of which are his babies.
"Think about that the next time you sit behind a firewall, a "secure by design" OS, and pick up your email from your ISP spam filtered email."
all of which i can turn off at will you fuckwad. I would comment on the rest of the nonsense you typed, but none of it made a single shred of sense.
the best i could glean from it was this "In fact, what really, really annoys me about this freedom talk" - sounds like you hate freedom asshole, move to fucking north korea and see how you like it.
watch as VOIP comes to the iphone, and at&t panic and attempt to protect those juicy profits by dropping all that free data on your 3 year contract and legal hijinix ensues
why does apple need to agree with it? fuck apple in their assholes.
sure it void's your warranty IN CERTAIN CASES, like if i hacked the firmware and suddenly i can't send sms all of a sudden.. well i would have to eat the bill to fix it. but that kind of thing goes on a case by case basis.
You cannot however, just blanket void warranty on a product, even if they do something fucked up to their iphone. the fault has to be in some way related to their messing around with it, so say they place a 3rd party app on it and a few days later the screen dies, apple MUST replace it.
lets be real now. most people who get their break in entertainment get it because of people they know. you can have all the talent in the world and practice all you want but the significant barrier to entry is that there's 10000000 acts out there, most of them suck balls and knowing someone persoanlly who will give you a shot is what it takes.
"have a safe and steady job with regular salary paid, and not put up with rejection, sarcasm, derision, and general apathy for those years, with no pension, no career structure, and absolutely no certainty of ever making more than minimum wage"
WTF? how does the other 99.9% you refer to avoid all these pit falls by having a "normal" (what ever the fuck that is) job? you still get rejections and sarcasm from people in any job, no one even has the certainty of making minimum wage for that matter. If you find a job where i can avoid/have all the above, please tell me, because i'd love to take it.
you people keep spouting this theory, but todate has this actually happened? as far as i was aware, GM crops are all sterile, so cross pollination is not possible.
not only that, but a strong argument can be made that should cross pollination occur monsanto won't have any claim on the derived crop since it's their duty to make sure it doesn't happen in the first place.
the problem with this is patents main goal is to protect little guys who come up with a good idea and want to stop someone else stealing it.
increasing the cost of something will never stop companys with GDP's larger then many countries. you think a million dollars for a patent on a crop is a problem? fuck bio research companys SHIT $1000000 bricks, they will view it as a minor cost.
the only way to prevent frivolous patents, is to put a very short time frame on profiting from a patent. say i come up with an idea for the wear it all night condom. i have 2 years to turn more then $20,000 profit from my idea, or it's out in the public domain for someone else to have a crack out. this works because even if some asshole patents this, we can just wait them out, knowing their just patent squating and the moment their 2 years is up it's open season. If i CAN turn a profit on it, then it's obvious that i'm doing something with the idea, hence deserve it.
I have learned over the years, that people like you have no brains, and debating a topic is pointless, hence i just take pleasure in insulting and degrading you.
help yourself to a big bowl full of SHUT THE FUCK UP.
also, from what i can tell it takes everywhere up to 30 seconds to get a decent lock on gps. 30 seconds doesn't seem like much, but now lets see how much 30 seconds matters in a jumbo doing 1000miles an hour. if your gps loses it's lock for some reason, that's a scary amount of time to be flying blind.
typical small thinking.you think a project like this is cheap or easy? imagine the risk the company setting this up is taking, if anything goes with the system?
if my post if childish and obnoxious, then you have to admit the entire article is likewise childish and obnoxious since i make the exact same point, meaning all this entire topic deserves is childish obnoxious posts.
and what difference does a persons age make anyway? (i'm 27 btw) do you think someone being 14 invalidates their point somehow? do you think a persons writing style some how makes them MORE correct? next time think your shit through before posting it.
This might give us some brief reprieve, timewarner needed to do this to prevent their network getting banned in places, i already banned it from my mailservers. the botnetters will just use ip addresses next...

All this will do, is encourge people to just dump their waste to avoid this pointless fee.

hell it might save them wasting their spare time, get the point?

we already have something that's better then CVS, it's called SVN. all this bickering and duplicated effort does is help the bad guys win.
what shit, pata it almost as fast as sata drives, and has fuck all limitations either beyond hot swap, which hardly any sata drives can do anyway
all of which i can turn off at will you fuckwad. I would comment on the rest of the nonsense you typed, but none of it made a single shred of sense.

err total bullshit. jobs went on the record stating they didn't add 3rd party functionality because phone companies don't want you to.

enough with the stupid apple love ok? there's plenty of better smart phones out there for a lot fucking less.

given that my $500 car nav gps shows it i'm pretty sure they can.

modded troll, then flamebait. yes, the wikiweirdo's have struck again. the truth really does sting doesn't it?
why so silent now? Oh thats right Wiki is brimming with incorrect information.
oh please your trying to suggest only 2% of the population plays sports or talks to other people? give me a fucking break.
