I still have to peacefully object here - Working for something entails intention that is honorable, and done with integrity. Otherwise, they often call it thievery when you cross the line too far, like taking your neighbors TV. Gaming/Influencing the system is not working for "it", or anything for that matter - Intentions are everything here, IMHO; especially when you are responsible for a very large asset, capital market share and critical products in some cases, thousands of people that work for you, and overall impact on the local community to which you serve.
I consider influencing the outset of governing rules during an election stealing the mind share of those that would have reasonable felt otherwise - In fact, I would say that about EVERY negative/slighted ad you saw this past election. Its a down right crime, not just disingenuous. Its defamation, out right lying, and inciting riots all rolled into one. Look, if you make the money, pay the taxes - its that simple. I would kill to pay 400k in taxes - it means I made a shitload, and really didn't need to make anymore.
He did not work for it... sorry. That is trivializing what it means to work for your money. And most importantly, this is a clear example where money and corporate wealth need to be abolished all together from our rules of governance.
Is this really a shocking surprise? I don't mean to troll, but flash has brought us a lot of positives, but it runs so - so just about everywhere in my experiences.
for whomever modded this down - you are are fool. Just read the comment above entitled incompleteness. Its completely related and NOT off topic. Its exactly whats going on here... so particularly, you are dead wrong in your assessment of me being off topic.
Write your congressmen and those on the committees.... I agree it seems hopeless at times. but more of that take action, the more change can be made. I don't mean to sound like a blind optimist - I understand the pessimism.
Good point actually... so why change now? Also, Did such said Big Government really give a hoot as they do now? Since the Patriot Act? Since the web actually grew beyond our own borders? What's changed?
We either get Big Corporate or Big Government deciding on what, when, how, and how fast... I am not sure I want either, and consider it the end of the Internet as we know it.
Who are you calling "old guys" exactly? The pace at which information is not a chronological time normative - quite the other way around. I may have wired one of the first HDLC networks from a Digital VAX machine in the mid 80's for my school system in NJ as a 14 year old, but I am emphatically *not* an "Old Guy". I can only assume I may be of the same age for he consultants in charge here, based again on the assumption that I precede the internet-age "kids".
You insensitive clod!
If you are this angry now, wait until that online degree is laughed at by some Ivy league douche (that actually gave you a job), who knows nothing but got there exactly because she had the opportunity to go to school and never really took advantage of the learning aspect, but DOES have that piece of paper from enduring trite classroom BS. You will call her boss, and hate that too.
What other reason could it be - can they possibly crank out that many major versions and rewrites in this time frame and justify its technical viability, or is it just marketing?

Steve, come on. we know you are hurting and all from that antenna debacle..... its ok pal. everything will get better.
Isn't it the case that we are more often in the way of our own discovery and explana-tative power
Pretty soon they will be asking for patents on applying for patents!
Can you say "Operation"? Damn I could never get the kidney out!
I won't ask for forgiveness, my sins are all I have.

I haven't been this confused since reading Godel's Proof.

I don't know how to do that with Congress.
Simple - Just vote! right?

I bought a 27'' for 967$ in 2006. No doubt in my min it was price fixing. As amongst the "top" LCD TV's this was the cheapest of its time.
Sounds like Sour Grapes to me.
To bolster your point, I use about twice the data via WiFi than over the EDMA/3G connection that IO am billed for.
Look eye Daniel-son, Look eye!
Number One, Make it so.

its really not that funny to begin with. Could have been made a whole bunch better.
OK OK flame bait me if you must, but if Slashdot considers this news, then my opinion above has to equally worthy of being posted.
