  1. Re:Or maybe Apple is complying with the law ? on Apple Refuses To Unlock Bequeathed iPad · · Score: 1

    LMOL yeah it's not like Apple could not get the family to sign off on that. Apple does not need the court to do that! Morons.

    No they don't have a procedure. If they did they would have instructions about transferring an iPad to someone else. But yeah Apple is going to get deluged with a bunch of official looking letters....FYI a court order is an official looking paper. Pinhead.

    LMOL ok moron...yeah that's planning....where is this listed that you need a court order. Let's see that advertised. Google should be drawing up commercials, "you don't need a court order to bequeath your android device to your loved ones"....

    Because he didn't have a well reasoned explanation why he was skeptical of string theory....pin head.

    Actually those are physicists that have been saying string theory is all hat. Just because you don't like that doesn't make it not true. String theory is dead. Data after data being collected from experiments have been proving String Theories claims as false.

    Actually there has been other published data from experiments that say it's false. Time to give up zippy.

  8. Real Smart.... on Lawrence Lessig Wins Fair Use Case · · Score: 1

    ...suing a Harvard Law professor....

  9. Re:Is the settlement open for all ? on Lawrence Lessig Wins Fair Use Case · · Score: 1

    If you read the article: "Liberation Music agreed to adopt new policies around issuing takedown notices. The label has promised to work with Lessig to improve its YouTube and copyright policies to make sure this doesn't happen again."

    So the settlement goes beyond Lessig and seeks to correct the overzealous behavior of that company.

    LMOL so you work for the WSJ....hey moron it's called a franchise fee and Verizon, Time Warner, Comast, etc., DON'T PAY IT! In exchange for the franchise fee they get exclusivity for that region. And THEY DON'T PAY IT!! The customer pays it. There's line item on the bill for franchise fee. So repeat after - the franchise fee is not an excuse for Google. Idiots.

    From the article: "Because the 160 foot water tower being built next to Tillerson's house that will supply the water to the near-by fracking site, means the arrival of loud trucks," So yes it's about fracking....idiot...

    Cable is not a natural monopoly. What crack are you smoking. There used be several companies all competing in the same market. Consolidation killed that.

  18. Re:Ok on Krugman: Say No To Comcast Acquisition of Time Warner · · Score: 0

    Look moron, there is no competition when it comes to cable TV. That's the point. Comcast and Time Warner don't compete in the same markets because there is only one cable provider in most markets. Something they don't complain about at all. So if we actually had real competition there would be more than one company in every market.

  20. Re:Lifers? on Financing College With a Tax On All Graduates · · Score: 1

    You mean like we do today? FYI banks were able to discharge their debt - you know when the tax payers bailed them out. Oh the irony.

  21. Re:Not a good decision on Financing College With a Tax On All Graduates · · Score: 1

    And you know this how? You do realize you need to a college degree to get a job. So it's a necessity. The fact that you don't know that means you do not know what you are talking about.

    Not too mention, we don't know the details of the plan. It was a general outline. But you could easily put in place safe guards. Like, you need to go for a bachelors degree at an accredited institution. Need to graduate in a certain time period. You could even say funding limited to professions/fields that have high demand for workers. So there are alot of ways to prevent people from gaming the system.

    So much for you years spent in education....

  22. Re:Get the government on Financing College With a Tax On All Graduates · · Score: 1

    LMOL yeah umm they were and prices skyrocketed. Then banks asked the government to guarantee the loans because banks felt they were too risky. So all the government did was cut out the middle man. Pinhead.

  23. Re:So, would this tax apply to those it did not he on Financing College With a Tax On All Graduates · · Score: 1

    No, we ended her because Colleges think they can charge whatever they want. There's no competition in higher education to keep costs low. Look at the cost of text books. No justifications for them to be that expensive nor to require students buy new text books when old text books would suffice, e.g. Calculus.

    Cost and financing have always been separate issues. That's not the students fault. But unfortunately, you need a degree to get a job and you need to be able to pay for college. So students are stuck. This plan would at least provide a means for paying for college.

    The next step would be addressing what colleges charge, making them accountable. Forcing them to control costs. Most college courses haven't changed in decades and yet tuition has exploded. Time to review where that money goes.

  24. Sign Me Up! on Financing College With a Tax On All Graduates · · Score: 1

    It would be cheaper than my student loan repayment. Are you kidding me. Sign me up! You are getting screwed over on the student loan interest. This would be a great deal.

  25. Re:Startup problem on Financing College With a Tax On All Graduates · · Score: 1

    Hardly an obstacle. You need start up capital for anything, so it's not like something can't be worked out. Considering how much money the Government makes off of student loans - the Government could fund it not too mention the Schools should be more than able to kick in as well.
