The problem is that the gun running across the border PRE-DATED the current administration. Me thinks you are the one being cynical here no? Please stop with the misinformation. geez.
The current administration has said they will veto CISPA Im not sure what Mitt Romney would do about CISPA. I know CISPA and the NewYork ban free speech bills were introduced by Republicans and maybe the Republicans can convince Romney to go along and sign these bills who knows.
"I don't think people here are that gullible to believe that's Obama's fault given that the plan to kill the shuttle program pre-dated Obama"
So you're saying he didn't have the executive authority to halt that plan? No, sorry, doesn't wash. As far as I'm concerned he's just continued the backwards looking short sighted policies of Bush in this regard.
"If you wan't to blame Obama for something legitimate blame him for pushing NASA to become more dependent on the private space industry"
That too.
Halt it and do what? The aging shuttle fleet was ridiculously expensive to maintain and the economy was losing millions of jobs per quarter at the time when he came into office. Where is the money supposed to come from? Maybe you could cough up the funds no? The Airforce has their mini shuttle that is doing them well and for everything else the spaceX and others will be a whole lot cheaper and therefore the size of the federal government has been reduced. People have been screaming to reduce the size of the federal gubmint so now the massive scale of the launch program has been reduced and now people bitch that its reduced. just wow.
... given that the USA no longer has the ability to launch astronauts ( in LEO never mind to the moon. (Nice one Obama).
I see what you did there. However, this is Slashdot I don't think people here are that gullible to believe that's Obama's fault given that the plan to kill the shuttle program pre-dated Obama. If you wan't to blame Obama for something legitimate blame him for pushing NASA to become more dependent on the private space industry because all this will do is encourage free market competition between private companies in an attempt to make access to space cheaper and faster. Not sure if that's the results your looking for though.
Here try this. Go to China Try and spread a rumour in China that the Chinese premier is a Muslim... See how far that gets... Oh BTW while you are at it try to claim that he wasn't born in China.
What tha fuck does this have to do with a slash and a dot? or a pound and bang for that matter? WTF?? How the fuck is this news for nerds? What the fuck is happening to Slashdot lately? Useless unrelated political crap and Google bashing is about all you find these days.
This is happening only when you watch shows the day after they air. A consumer can do the same thing right now with a DVR. Simply record all the shows and watch them the next night, fast forwarding through all the commercials. Dish is simply automating the process.
Be careful, if they knew that, there will be a push to make such features on devices illegal, or every time you press fast forward it inserts a 30 second advertisement!
I wonder if the electronics on these trucks can be mysteriously fried from a distance with some kind of directed energy beam?. Maybe can be taking out covertly with the ABL/ALTB?
"This raises the question, has Google become the new Microsoft?"
The question is....who's raising this question? What public relations firm is raising this question? The answer though is a resounding NO. Google is NOT going around using sleazy tactics like Microsoft does. Google is NOT using software patents to kill open source. Google is NOT funnelling money to trolls like SCO or IV and others in an effort to as drive up cost or litigate open source and free software products out of the marketplace. Google is NOT a member of the troll group BSA let alone a leading member. Google doesn't stack standards committees with their own drones in an attempt to corrupt the standards process. Google does NOT spread FUD about open source violating their patents but refuse to come clean on what patents yet force people to sign non-disclosures about said software patents after they are cajoled into paying a license fee for software that they did not even write one line of code for.
Looks like Burson-Marsteller successful infiltration of Slashdot is producing fruit. They have been hard at work on Slashdot lately. With all these attempts to smear google lately seems like their clients Microsoft, Facebook has been pushing them for results.
What the hell are you talking about? And Windows is not a commodity? You even get less differentiation of your product from others when you use Windows rather than Android. You have less room to be different from the next guy with Windows.
This pathetic attempt to blame Google for the fact that we may never be able to use free or documented APIs ever again is ridiculous. Oracle, Apple, and Microsoft started this war with software-patents. And now Oracle is trying to get APIs ruled as copyrightable. It's really egregious behaviour on the part of these incumbent tech corporations to use these sleazy litigation tactics against any successful open source product. Just spare us the bullshit. Microsoft promised this war way back with their Halloween documents and now they are getting help from Oracle and Apple.
Whats your point? I am one person doing this and what I can say is that in my area I have done quite a bit of migrations. I didn't claim any official market numbers or any percentage of any particular market segment other than my specific area in a mid size town. I have done a total of 324 residential and 23 business migrations and counting Those are my exact numbers now that I went back and counted all of them. I don't have to prove anything to you. As far as migrating back goes not one of them have as I am still in contact with them from time to time. ALL of them are GLAD not to have to continue their subscriptions to Symantec and others and are keenly aware of the dangers of using Windows by experience and are relived not having to worry about malware, defragging disks, and computers coming to crawl.

so at 4 million solar masses how much would a teaspoon of that stuff weigh?

You are a clear and unconvincing anti-Google troll. Whose payroll are you on? Microsoft? Apple's? Oracle? come on now spill it.

Please turn of the Fox News Channel and Propaganda talk radio. You sound really really stupid. WOW

Seems to me you are displaying just as much intelligence if not a bit less. Just sayin'
MOD PARENT UP!! She won't be campaigning again as a so called "Job Creator" lol That term is such a cynical term.
Why would they? What would the Chinese government gain by flooding the solar panels market with things that cost more than they sell for?
Its called dumping see here
How many times have you Android phone been infected?

Why in the world would congress want to make such features illegal?

- Limit all patents to 5 years
- Abolish UI/Gesture and all software patents
- Abolish lifeform and seed patents.
