Actual data connectivity is cheap, getting it to your premise is the expensive part. The local loop usually means you're using some monopoly telco and they can charge whatever they like.
If it was a true tech leader then I might agree but would never see them allowing a Meraki style grid network. However it looks like these particular Senators are being paid shills.
Learning the bible can be good, just remember a few select passages.
Go to this theme park, find an attractive non inbred looking female, and ask if she follows the bible. When she says yes, quote these 'the bible condones oral sex' versus and see where it ends up
Song of Solomon 2:3
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
Song of Solomon 4:16
Come... blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
If it hits big enough maybe the carriers will wake up and offer a stock image with all the various crap as add ons. Seriously, I don't want Sprint TV, or sprint Nascar's app. But I do want my few months old phone to be upgradable past 2.1.
If enough pages hit that make it unusable then either the phone companies will have to push an update or give new phones to anyone claiming breach of contract.
Some of the tribes people did Planetside. When it first came out that FPS MMO was actually pretty decent. Not the same fun as a planting cameras and doing espionage raids in Tribes 2 but was close. But the continual tweaks of PS ending up killing the fun.
Of course the tribes engine is still out there with Torque, with updated enhancements.
If only the jury had used nullification. They could have found her guilty but set some figure they came up with. Juries have a lot of power, sadly they are instructed and put in a box and most jurors don't know the power of nullification.
It ran one or two episodes too long. The writers ran out of mojo and left Starbuck hanging - oh, she was an angel right. I kept waiting for them to establish a small colony named atlantis. Instead everyone went totally hippie and decided to give up everything and breed with early hominids. There's a host of problem from going space faring tech to not just low tech but no tech. I wonder how many lasted one year without getting scurvy or other common ailments. I guess I was foolish to take 'everything will be revealed' at face value.
I would have been happier if they pulled a Sopranos and finished the series with Starbuck entering the musical jump co-ordinates, yelling 'jump' and having BSG winking out.
Here here. I actually hope there is some sort of widespread malware or a virus just to push this issue. I really like android as a user and developer but I hate the carrier lockdown.
Offhand I can think of 2 cases of the rich getting away with things. Kennedy crashed a car, hooker killed, and didn't report it for a day. No problem. Cheney shot a guy in the face, not reported for a day, no problem. Maybe exceptions to the rules but the perks of the very wealthy or connected do exist.
on a tangent... Anyone else think the idiots on Lost should have done just a portion of Mysterious Island? Or heck, even Swiss Family Robinson. After people were stolen from my camp, or a wild boar came into my camp and gored someone's leg, I'd focus on protection. Oh no, let's just sit on the beach, enjoy the waves, and not even post a guard. It's hard to suspend belief on something so obvious..
Here here, now we don't have to worry about the Patriot Act, being tossed into Gitmo, no more illegal wiretaps, GPS tracking without warrants, and we can be assured that big issues like the Health Care Debate will be televised on CSPAN. Thank god for change!
Back in WW2 an idiot senator blabbed that the japanese were setting depth charges too shallow. It made the press and got 10 boats sunk. I somehow doubt that senator was put on any watchlist.
If the Rep's gain the house Upton (R-Mi) will become chair of the house telecommunications subcommittee. He's anti-net neutrality and also takes in a lot of money from Telcos. (AT&T Inc $93,600). But yeah, that's since '89 so he has been consistent.
I think the anti union feel comes from unions acting like asses in many cases. For example in Michigan if you are in child day care you must, by law, be part of the union. Actually it's more cryptic than that. If you have a day care You are a government employee and get union dues deducted. No choice on the matter even if you're a sole proprietor running your own small day care.
Or even been to a tradeshow? Want to plug something into an electrical outlet, like you have done countless times in your life? Sorry, wait for a union electrician to show up because it's part of their union contract (Not an insurance matter most of the time).
Or maybe a Production engineer at a plant, with an assembly line down to something stupid like a tripped breaker, valve stuck, one of the normal reasons for a lockup. You could get the line going within a heartbeat but instead waste lots of manhours waiting for the one certified union worker to push the button for you.
It's because of these stupid rules, that while the intention may have started as good, hurts the company as a whole and gives unions a bad rep. Now I do have a history in the trades and I thing the formal journeyman / masters process is a very good thing. The bureaucracy is an entirely other thing.
Offhand I can't think of any comedian having the balls of Colbert when he lampooned Bush and the entire media at the Correspondence dinner, right to their faces. That was an amazing bit of writing and delivery. It's something what I imagine Carlin would have delivered - although he would have livened it up with his 7 dirty words.
The daily show has become the breeding ground for new comedians like SNL used to be. You know, when SNL was still funny. Oftentimes a good comedian can make more sense being funny than anyone else. I don't know about hero worship but anyone taking Glenn Beck or Rush seriously is way way scarier. Then again I listen to NPR and vote libertarian, so I'm already a lost cause to those two.

Movies that involve shooting a railgun into a robot's scrotum isn't worth mentioning much.

Snowe - 7th largest donor was Verizon
Warner - 6th largest donor was Verizon
America has the best government money can buy!

So that's the message Destiny is looking for in StarGate Universe - Galactus wuz here.
Actually publish them all online and crowdsource the weapon detection. It'd be the new chatroulette.

includes 2 minutes of begging and pleading with his lady to put out...
I thought that was called foreplay
it'd be much more convenient if google had a FB group setup to complain about facebook that I could just 'like'
There's nothing to worry about the new breed of energizer bunnies. They don't wanna work, they just wanna bang on the drum all day.

Glad this only works with reptiles. Otherwise imagine the masses of children from asexual lonely /. users browsing pr0n. On second thought, don't.

Great suggestion for a read.

Jesus himself, the six story version, and The movie version has been hit by lightning. My guess is Zeus got into the mead.

A new hope - nice, I see what you did there to bring it back on track.

Wish I had mod points, that shit is scary stuff and appears in so many things.
