It seemed to me that Google bought Nest just to get a copy of the data. You're right, it's even more useful if they get everyone to associate that data with their G+ account.
And what a crock -- that Koreans would crash a plane because of a respect of hierarchy. This is just racist. Sorry, I take that back. It's just stupid.
The police have 48 hours to charge you with a crime after your arrest.
You can be charged with resisting arrest, but you can't be arrested for resisting arrest (you're already under arrest).
Besides, arresting officers don't make the charges -- especially before/during arrest. They need to poke around in your stuff to find (or plant) drugs or something else that will stick, or hang you with your own words in the interrogation.
Because then you wouldn't have had the scene where the audience gets to see the whales transported to the tanks.
To which you might say -- why didn't they just use shields to hold the water/whale solution in place?
To which I say that's not a very interesting time-travelly solution, and smacks of the "reverse the polarity and run it through the deflector beam" panacea.
You don't know the golden rule? Those with the gold make the rules.
The idea that if we abolished government regulations we'd be truly free is a delusion. Sorry, corporations already get more votes than you (1 dollar = one vote). Just think about the efficiency when they cut out the middle man of politics!
Actually capitalism is nearing its end, whether the 1%ers like it or not, simply because technology kills capitalism dead in the long run, there is simply no escaping that fact. I'm sure some will say "capitalism and tech go great together!" but this ignores a simple truth: The entire premise of capitalism is trading labor for capital but what happens when that labor is no longer valuable?
Dickens had something to say about that. The dark ages and the gilded age show that feudalism is quite natural and acceptable to the masses.
Technology has led to productivity which has led to unemployment. None of this is counter to capitalism, or feudalism (the ultimate goal of capitalism). The invisible hand of capitalism, even according to Adam Smith, will always seek the lowest possible average wage just short of revolution. He fretted about it, but had no solution.
You can have your techno-utopian dreams, but they don't mean anything when the rich have their political pawns call in the national guard.
One thing that has remained constant over the last century is change. Every few decades, we got bored of the theme of the previous generation, and based a new theme on a new technology (i.e., Jet Age -> Space Age -> Information Age). As we seem to be at the height (or maybe even on the downslope) of the Information Age, do you have any prognostications on what's next?
Sure you can argue with Moore's Law. It's not a law, it's an observation. Well, it was an observation when he made it ten or so years ago. Now it's a self-fulfilling prophesy. Chip manufacturers aim to double computing power every 18 months. It doesn't just happen automagically.
So Slashdot doesn't even own the offending comments in the first place.
Of course, posting trade secrets to the Internet doesn't strike me as the safest place to keep them in the first place. Microsoft is guilty of revealing its own trade secrets, then. Hah.

Great! All we needed -- a Druish princess!
Finally! A name for this phenomenon. I was going to call it "NPR headline writing style," but "Betteridge's law of headlines" will do fine.
Now he can tell us why we should turn back regulation on smoking and give big banks even more money.

I presume they're writing Robert Ludlum novels. At least "24" fan-fiction.
Other conclusions:
1. Music was better back in my day.
2. Pull up your pants.
3. Get off of my lawn!
It's in the 7th Amendment. Getting the powers that be to agree to the terms of the Constitution and its amendments seems to be the issue at hand.
Of course they aren't connected to the internet. They're connected to each other by unencrypted radio links.
Is that a 7" tablet in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Slandered.

A safe bet, this.
Natalie Portman + hot grits will come back in style eventually. Imagine a beowolf cluster of Natalie Grits.
You're obviously part of a group of mutinous preverts. I'll get you your change, but you'll have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.
