You mean now I'll need to go to one of the other 10,000 sites to find out what The New York Times transcribed from the spokesperson of whatever administration happens to be in power? Oh, lordy, lordy, what WILL I do?
What legal right does CES or the hotel have to throw someone out of their room for legally entertaining guests? How would you feel if you rented a hotel room and got thrown out if it because the hotel owner decided they didn't like you or your guest?
Or perhaps your post just contained a lot of general fuckedupedness.
That's always a possibility, if you're not trying to be funny. But how? Obscenity? Or is it completely incorrect to suggest that a bunch of small businesses just got screwed by CES in an illegal way?
Here we go, the whining and complaining from people who are too cheap or too poor to buy a Congressman. Congress works fantastically well if you're willing to invest in it. The return on a few hundred thousand bucks can reach into the billions, as the entertainment, weaponry, and banking/gambling industries have shown -- go find any other investment with that sort of ROI. Stop yer socialist whining -- Congress does a fantastic job when it's made worth its while.
Of course Santa hates Linux. I mean, think about it, he's Mr. Materialism. Santa is all about shopping malls. It's that smart rabbi, that Jesus guy, who talked about sharing with others as a path to happiness, not Santa. Santa's heart belongs to Microsoft.
In other news, the Defense Advanced Research Agency, in association with MIT (a wholly owned subsidiary), announced that it would be hiding the Democratic party's cojones at three sites, each visible from roads. The Republican party's heart, once located, will be placed at a fourth site. The American people's intelligence... no, never mind.
While the average American uses 34 gig per day, the average citizen of a developing country uses only 27.3 megabytes.
A proposal to cap and trade rights to generate and transmit information was introduced today by Bernie Sanders; Fox News immediately called it a "dangerous step towards communism."
Sarah Palin said she didn't believe Americans used that much more information than the rest of the world, and if we did it's just because Americans are smarter.
President Obama, in a forty minute speech (30.27 gig), explained the details of information theory and laid out a twenty point plan for getting Congress to reduce Americans' transmission of information by 10% over the next thirty years. A coalition of conservative Democrats replied that the President, while obviously well-informed, was moving too aggressively, and that more research was needed.
Today, MIT and the United States Department of Warxxx Defense are proud to report their joint discovery that spam email, when combined with a pyramid sales scheme, is an effective way to get people off their asses. This works best when your name is well-known and has not yet been sufficiently exploited that your email is ignored.
Note to editors: when referring to spam in connection with MIT, correct usage is "social network."
This study shows Scandinavians don't get any increased tumors. Don't try to pass that off as evidence that Mericans won't. Haven't you heard all the complaints -- do you think people are crazy?
There is a very simple, comparatively low-tech fix for broken elections that involve paper ballots.
As we do in Humboldt County, CA, run all ballots through an off-the-shelf scanner and run an independent count with independent, open source software. Ballot Browser (open source, Python, GPL from me) is available for tweaking and the basics are explained in April's Python Magazine. Or, it's really not that difficult to write your own bubble-reading software.
Ascent Solar in Colorado has a pilot plant and is building out a larger plant. CIGS, roll to roll, on flexible plastic substrate, all circuitry laser etched in place. They've been sampling product for a while now.
I have to pay for basic cable, and then pay an internet fee on top of that, even though I never watch TV.
If internet is less expensive to deliver than TV, why oh why won't the cable companies just let me buy what I want and need, without paying for the "basic tier" of trash?
Imagine a CEO that offered marketing the opportunity to "earn" half the savings from nightly shutdown energy savings, and then immediately reduced the marketing budget by, oh, I don't know, how's about maybe half the savings that would come from nightly shutdowns.

Interesting. Within one minute of my posting the parent, it had been down-moderated. It was then up-moderated, but someone wanted it to disappear.
Monopolistic practices. Interference with trade. Lost and unrecoverable revenue opportunities. General fuckedupness.
This reporter (an alien no less) is interfering with a cell phone company's ability to profit from its invention.
Call Homeland Security!
Finally, a believable explanation for George W Bush's continuing popularity amongst the population. He's kin to 8% of us.

George W Bush asked what a gigabyte was.

Two words, Dannon: Sarah Palin
It's not just spam, it's a spam pyramid scheme. If this doesn't say something about our culture, I don't know what would.

Livescribe Pulse. I've never used it but the advertising makes it look like just what you want.
Not human error. Bush and Company.
This is great. The next time you send an "infelicitously worded" email, you can just blame it on IBM.
In fact, let's not use the word "flame" anymore, when "IBM" will do.
Maybe he actually wanted to take his flight, ya think?
Sit yourself down for a half hour, promising yourself that at the end of the half hour, you'll get up and take a break.
Repeat.
Expand to 45 minutes. Repeat.
Etc...
Oh, and stop whining.

Microsoft now has to battle the recession as well as Linux. So now the PHB's finally have an argument they understand -- salaries vs. upgrades.
