  1. Re:Streisand Effect, anyone? on Twitter Can Now Block Tweets In Specific Countries · · Score: 1

    I guess I'm missing the part that said India was the offending country?

  2. Re:American newspapers censor this way! on Twitter Can Now Block Tweets In Specific Countries · · Score: 1

    And this is just one reason why traditional newspapers, and their online versions are dying.

    I can attest that I was indoctrinated this way. That is why I am no longer Catholic.

  5. Re:In the Red State, people have jobs... on Texas and Taxes: Is a Server a Business Presence? · · Score: 1

    Over the past 25 years Texas has paid more to the federal government in taxes that it has received, but these numbers have been reversed over the past 5 years of public records, primarily because has had a large influx of new residents from other states.

  6. Re:Owning? Yes. Leasing? No. on Texas and Taxes: Is a Server a Business Presence? · · Score: 1

    But this isn't about corporate taxes so much as it is about sales taxes. You aren't passing those sales taxes onto your customers so they are in turn doing more business with you. The server farm in Texas is paying the same property taxes regardless of who owns it or where the company is incorporated. Furthermore this isn't about a way to get around paying revenue to the federal government, only less revenue to the state of Texas so how this relates in any way to the presidency is moot.

    Mexicans are a different race from Mexicans?

    Mexican isn't a race.

  8. Re:Lauren Weinstein bait... on FCC May Pry Open the Cable Set-Top Box · · Score: 1

    Free market is a great concept, but it only works if the competition is fair and balanced. Your never going to have that for long in an industry like cable/phones lines with out regulation and standards. In Free markets companies always strive for advantage over there competitors, witch inevitability ends up as unfair practices.

    Competition is what makes things fair and balanced, regulation makes it one sided and creates the problems we have before us now.

  9. Re:and then what happens? on Municipal WiFi Moves Ahead In Houston · · Score: 1

    I ride the bus in Houston on a regular basis and its only $1. The gas station accross the street has gas for $3.07 right now. While we do have a fair amount of people who are on welfare, and have minimum wage jobs, this can only be a boom for the city in general. One of the poorest neigherborhoods in Houston is between 2 universities so I imagine that this would also help out students who live near the campuses.

  10. Re:Not details, but strong suspicions. on BitTorrent Partners with TV and Movie Companies · · Score: 1

    Why not.... Couldn't they just send out a file on BT that is missing the first and last first and last section. To play the file you need to have the entire file and they'll give that to you through traditional means when you purchase the right to play it. They can have their own player that puts the entire file together. This allows them to have the best of both worlds. We transfer the file on our bandwidth and they keep control over it. J

    and they've somehow lost the ability to recognize that a single person can have multiple numbers. If I have office, home, and cell numbers stored for the same person, I get three entries for them, making the full list of names much longer. Not only are phone makers not making steps forward, they're moving backwards.
    You still can, the number just needs to be saved to your phone and not your sim card
