Google John Carmack OpenGL DirectX for more interesting comments on that. Originally, DirectX *was* fairly crappy, I'd hesitate to be suggesting that the first versions of it made games on Windows acceptable. Merely installing it was a nightmare.
How far can you take that with the CC company? I've gone from legal name to a contraction (Michael to Mike) - no comment. So could I use an out and out pseudo like Meski (which is an anagram of MikeS I use online a lot) and get away with it? Anyone tried this sort of thing?
That's the assumption of the problem, anyway, but without any evidence showing that Google really would act against its own interests in this way. Normally, innocence is assumed until guilt is proven, not the other way around.
For a corporation? Why... that's crazy talk:^) Corporations don't deserve the same rights as the people!:^)
That only works if there's a mass market for widget X which you want. Maybe there's only a world demand for 100. Sucks to be you, then, if you rely on factories to produce it cheaply.
Extending the analogy, some people have better microwaves. And some people have better and faster colour printers. In the future, some people will have better and faster 3d printers - this could be a fun cottage industry. With a reverse eBay to broker between those who want and those who supply.
A factory can make one component for a fraction of the cost? I don't think so. It can make one thousand of it for a fraction of the cost, but probably wont want to, until you get up into the tens of thousands. Meanwhile, I still have a desire to make ten different items, but only one of each. When I'm happy with it, then I'll approach a factory. That's what a 3D printer is for. R&D in your basement.
Infrastructure has been, and is being paid for by people with phone accounts. It isn't like an sms call would cost more than a cent for carriers anyway.

No, it isn't possible to do circumcision after a castration has been performed.
Using a tinned rather than gold edge-connector...

use or need, that is the question.
Which in terms of cost, makes it more affordable. Hell, the NSA have probably outsourced this to India already.
It is amazing that the USA is NOT investing more into getting Hawaii moved onto AE for energy and tesla is not pushing their car there.
Who would buy a car you had to push?
And believe six impossible /. articles before breakfast.
You don't want to lose the content of loose bowels?
Moderate parent as last two words redundant.
Anonymous Coward was taken?
The name on the credit card is a vanity plate.

some of us can detect sarcasm and irony without this.

That would be an opinion. You just need to treat it as such. Or laugh at them, if you want to retaliate a bit. (I often find myself wanting to)
There are probably several hundred that say, "I'll double your price if you kill the guy that hired you to kill me!"
Bidding war ensues. And for that, there's eBay, and Sniping.

It was probably because Killer Queen was taken by Freddie Mercury and the boys back in 1974 ;-)
.... so who took the previous two hundred and forty six killerkingnnn@yahoo.com addresses?
I'm thinking 247 isn't sequential, but a ref to 24h/7d
Wrong. Two can get laid out in the sun.
1 AUD = 1.02367 USD
email-sms gateway's easier.
We may not notice. Have you seen Uluru?
Hopefully, just the idiots who are polling as voting for the no-alition.
