Would it have been so hard to have written "Mozilla pulled one of their Firefox add-ons, Mozilla Sniffer, earlier this week..." in the summary though.? Most of the people here have a hard enough time reading the summary, let alone the actual article linked to.
I didn't read the article submission as trying to rationalize piracy. I read it as disputing the claim by the RIAA that it costs billions of dollars and thousands of lost jobs. If it truly has cost billions and thousands are unemployed because of piracy, then surely there are movies that failed because of piracy.
Obviously Hollywood needs a government bail out. First the pirates were cutting into sales, and with all these extremely successful movies that have lost millions, Congress must do something fast!
Time to reconsider what? The franchise agreement? Over what amounts to about $100 a month? The legal process to just start to terminate the franchise agreement would pay for the boxes for years.
The only think you could blame the antenna engineer for is not properly stating what a bad idea it is.
They did. They were ignored because form is more important then function (this is Apple remember). The product then launched. The engineers were then overheard saying "we told you so" in the halls one day. And now there are 3 positions that recently became available.
why wait until as soon as tomorrow or Wednesday? Wait a couple of weeks, and let the anxious guinea pigs run their experiments, complain when things break, and eventually get the problems sorted out.
Because if everyone waited, then there would be no early adopters. Someone has to go first.

I don't own an iPhone, but lack of multitasking on my Touch has been frustrating. The best case I could come up with is listening to Pandora and wanting to play a game or run some other 3rd party app. While it wasn't exactly a deal breaker, multitasking hand held devices isn't exactly a revolutionary concept either.
I didn't think the 8GB models were third generations, only left around to provide a lower cost, entry level model but didn't have the faster hardware and additional memory. The wiki page lists only 32 and 64GB models as third generation.
Just a finding in favor of either party where everybody loses but the lawyers.
The movie studio received $0 prior to it being downloaded, so as long as the final legal bill is greater then $0 they make more then what they would have otherwise received. (This doesn't take into account negative press impacting future revenues though). The law firm makes money pretty much no matter what. Infringers don't win, but they brought it on themselves for downloading it. The only people that really lose are the mistaken identity people that didn't download but were accused of doing so.
There are both free and nearly free alternatives to all of the popular Google apps, for both online and offline use. Google has them available if you want to use them, but they freely let you use alternatives and still continue to let you use Google the search engine if you so choose.
How does Ghost virtualize anything? Sure it can clone their existing drive for backup purposes, but what happens when a desktop motherboard fries itself and is obsolete enough that they need to upgrade to something newer? Yeah they can get the data back, but the drive image won't match the new hardware.
I mean he's actually saying that teaching a kid how to use a condom encourages the kid to seek out becoming a rape victim?! HOW?!
If the student is below the age of consent, then they are considered a victim by the law whether or not they are a victim as considered by society or common definition.
banged all the hot scientologists you could get your hands on
He addressed that too. Unless you were married, you weren't going to have sex with a hot scientologist. And yes, he even tried to use the loophole that it didn't say married to each other.
States and other government entities are also allowed (although not required) to request your SSN for a variety of reasons not necessarily related to taxes or social security administration.
Except, if I remember it correctly, you did autorize it, it is just in very tiny print somewhere on the form you clicked
Yeah, it was <small> print inside of a <!-- comment --> inside of a <div> that has a style of "display:none; position:absolute;left:-10000px;". I don't know why couldn't see it.
Seriously man, give me a break. Morals went out the window about 2 generations ago. With 12-year olds experimenting with oral and anal sex as a "safe" alternative these days, along with the Internet feeding those wicked desires to show off to the world, I'd say that old-school mentality on this topic is pretty much toast.
Well I guess that's all fine and dandy if you want to be married to today's typical 12 year old. Apparently my 30 year old wife and I have a little more old-school mentality then today's kids.

Might be time to reconsider.

I'm confused. So is the stupid article a waste of your time? Or Sex and the City 2? Either way, I think your time was already long wasted.

No. Unless you have a smart ass that wants to get technical on you.
And that's an issue....because?

It's their store. If you don't like it, don't buy their device. Or jailbreak it.

Is 50 sq km a larger area at 250m then it is at say 50-100m?
Fixed.

That's why the only setup a true Audiophile will have is a listening room setup inside of a vacuum chamber. No worries about changes in air pressure.
I'm pretty sure though that all flavors of English tend use parentheses in pairs. ;)
