Adelman couldn’t commit to changing its position on the record in Congress when asked about that, but said “I’ll take that back to our legislative guys, but I agree that’s an important step.” But when pressed, he said “We’re going to step back and let others take leadership roles.” He felt that the public statement removing their support would be sufficient for now, though further steps would be considered.
It's clear that they just want to hide in the shadow instead of taking "leadership" role in supporting SOPA now. Surprise!
No. You are missing two points. 1. Most large American tech companies don't operate like this these days. 2. It's a startup. It's not supposed to behave like a large corporation, or nobody would work there.
This is what attracts so many talents in the silicon valley. Talents are cherished there in the valley. This is definitely not the norm.
That said, this is of course not unprecedented either. Steve Jobs screwed over early employees at Apple too, and according to his biography, he asked employees at Pixar to give up options too (but to be fair, at that time Pixar was in financial trouble, unlike Zynga).
It's always OK to whine. In fact, open source community has the most whiny folks (next to/.). The difference is whether anyone would care about your whining.
One person in my company had account on kernel.org. He then found out his laptop was compromised, which meant that our company's VPN access was also compromised. The company had to do a whole lot of security auditing.

Yes, just like the Concealed Weapon License, we need an Exposed Weapon License!
So, now we know that you not only pirate, but also listen to NPR without pledging..
Finally Microsoft found a way to kill Firefox: pay it to use Bing!
In that case you shouldn't care about the extra charge, since you don't have to have the service.
Your complaint WOULD be valid if they bundled the two and didn't give you a choice to only get the mail only option.
: When it gets to over 50% such that most (i.e. over 50% :) ) of what I am looking for is there, then I will part with my money.
Yes, but it may not be the same price. In fact, it probably will not be the same price.
It doesn't matter much how much content is there. It matters whether the existing content is worth the existing price.
Before then, I normally took the sitting position when I was emailing. Now I just hold the iPad while lying in bed. Progress!
You can go to the twitter page and see whether he sent any tweets during work hour. Not that I checked, but there is no need to ask for a citation.
We all know nerds don't drink. At least are never drunk. So when a drunk man gets to be laughed about, we seize the opportunity.
It's like supermodels always laugh at fat asses. Same thing.
It's too expensive now.

soon will lose its access to major credit cards right?
With the erection it's even worse! We need more space.
same as the old bank
Now I know. For the 10 days out of a year they go to gym, they get distracted by things like this!
Putting everything under C:Windows and C:Windows/system turn out to be the way to go.
If they don't want this to be online, just don't hook it up to the network. It can still play games. What's the problem?
Or, give him a jailbroken console (no pun intended) that has been banned. Heck, I can sell mine for a good price!
Doesn't Windows have a lower TOC than Linux, according to Microsoft?

The driver is not in the linux kernel tree and distributed separately. So name calling is quite appropriate.
Tax the Rich Already!
protesting Congress and the White House
Why? Election year is coming. Do you mean protesting the American people who elected them?

No. Meanwhile some clueless user just bashed MS on /.
This is why we should only elect rich people. They are already rich so they won't sell out, at least not cheaply.
