No, just you wouldn't want to. Just because markets spontaneously arise doesn't mean they provide for the general welfare. A free market is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for anything approaching "civilization."
In 1948, a newspaper getting a headline wrong was literally an historic, once-in-a-decade happenstance that people still joke about. Social media getting its headline wrong isn't usually funny, because it happens daily.
Speaking of old newspaper men, people who believe in social media should really read some H. L. Menken, who would probably call the whole project "news-by-boob-boisie" and could point to examples of social media (also known as "gossip") as a major dissemination medium for racial hatred, propaganda and authoritarian-mediated ignorance.
We haven't for the most part, and I'm informed that everything that has changed in the US since 1900 is profoundly unpopular and a relic of creeping socialism, and will be phased out as soon as is practicable.
There are many after-hours work calls or e-mails that I actually *want* to get because someone is helping me resolve a time-sensitive issue or because we are in different timezones and our calendars are all full during the day.
The demand on time is self-fulfilling: you have to address an issue at 9PM because the dependent factor needs it at 10PM, who will be behind if he doesn't have his shit done by 2AM for Mumbai. If you make everyone go-the-hell home then the problem can wait. In the end I think a big part of the evening email correspondence is about employees punishing each other and using their evening uptime to compete with each other and make people who have social lives and families look bad. It isn't very productive and companies that see that sort of dynamic should just take away the toys.
Keeping the furnace running or the servers is a different matter, but why would artists and sales people need to be on call 24-7?
In all fairness, it’s something Gore had worked on a long time. Gore is not the Father of the Internet, but in all fairness, Gore is the person who, in the Congress, most systematically worked to make sure that we got to an Internet, and the truth is—and I worked with him starting in 1978 when I got [to Congress], we were both part of a “futures group”—the fact is, in the Clinton administration, the world we had talked about in the ’80s began to actually happen.
Al Gore was the first political leader to recognize the importance of the Internet and to promote and support its development.
Al Gore's original statement was factual. Somebody at the RNC made a separate statement that was a lie, attributed it to Gore and then attacked him for it. The first link clearly illustrates how it was misquoted once by the RNC in a press release the following week, and then the misquote was reproduced as a quote, because the only people being quoted were the people who were complaining. It was all a game to troll the press and to spend so much time complaining about an imaginary quote that it would take all the time away from talking about the real one.
As long as people present the quote as an un-argued premise, I will cite the snopes, regardless of context. The bullshit over that citation just pisses me off, without regard for the politics. It's really more of a lazy press thing than anything else.
The freedoms are rivalrous -- you're free to distribute a piece of software however you please, or you're free to extend a piece of software however you please. The first one is a commerce right, the second one is a moral right. Both of these can't always be satisfied.
However, Google is just ignoring Android and thinking it works out just fine if they pass the control to phone vendors.
Google thought process: A Cupcake phone displays ads just as well as an ICS, and the phone vendors know more about selling phones than us, right? Who wants to go to all of the trouble of making individual users happy when making just Verizon happy will move 100,000 units at a time.
It's a lot more fun to make million dollar deals with the "adults" that Run The Mobile World, while sniping at the "marketing" and "fanboi-sie" of somebody like Apple or Microsoft for actually attempting to make a relationship with the retail end user.
It would solve hardware driver issues, but carriers also do a lot of customization with apps and skins. Sense UI, Motoblur and Carrier IQ don't depend on a stable ABI.

Better to have your nose straight at Vstall, than have your angle of attack inclined at Vstall. Ski-jumps don't work for heavier ASW/AWACS aircraft, and they deprie you of landing space for helicopters.
Talking to passengers might be a problem if people actually drove with passengers with any sort of regularity, the carpool lanes on the 110 are empty all the time for a reason.
Passengers, like airline pilots with regard to their passengers, have an incentive to survive and are unlikely to distract the driver when he needs his focus, and are able to evaluate the driver's attention span with body language and by seeing the driving conditions.
Yo mama's so fat, she thinks strstr(needle, haystack) and strstr(haystack, needle) both sound delicious, she just can't ever remember which one is the one to use.
Yo mama's so fat, she hides food in $a[1] and $a["1"].
Yo mama's so fat, she silently coerces strings into sandwich, and when the interpreter complains, she puts an @ sign in front of it.
I admit it's difficult to put your finger on exactly what a flamebait is. The term, along with "troll" came into being at a time when the content on the Internet was almost exclusively written by university academics. They were constantly policing their professional debates to make sure people weren't getting hurt or turned-off, or having their correspondence side-tracked by trolls, and flamewars among academics are a very specific manifestation.
By the standard of how the terms were originally defined, just about every thread on slashdot would be trolling and flaming, but then again Slashdot exists mainly to sell ads and entertain the reader. People on USENET in 1989 discussing "The Emperor's New Mind" would have had a much more nuanced sense of the terms.
It helped the Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed and Frank Capra were all independently wealthy from decades of work on other movies (and in Reed's case, a self-titled television series) and were happy to afford to let one go. Henry Travers didn't mind IAWL showing on TV as long as he was getting his checks for Bells of St. Mary's and Mrs. Miniver, and Tom Mitchell was probably was too busy hiring accountants to count his Gone with the Wind royalty payments to worry about his turn as Uncle Billy.
Nowadays that sort of thing would never slip into PD, the royalty income is a lot less marginal...

It's traditional to attribute such quotes.

I would say the salesman in this case just didn't have his shit nailed down, and was begging Sam to bail him out.

This would be funnier if Al Gore had actually claimed that he invented the Internet, and the whole story hadn't been invented to make him look silly.

You're gonna be free wether you like it or not!

Just because Kins were weird, 5 years behind the times, and under-powered, it doesn't necessarily mean Nokia made them :) The handsets were Samsungs.
Wow that was a scare, this Mike Babcock is an associate of mine, though you appear to be a different one.

Now all Amazon has to do is sell their Kindles with Cynanogenmod and they'll have a successful product!
Kia's don't max out at 45 MPH and switch themselves off every time you lean back too far in the seat.
Flamebait is not about true or false, it's about terseness * (falsifiability of claim / truth value of all claims over the domain )
I'm still waiting for the slashdot post that somehow ties Foxconn workplace abuses to The Bitter Tea of General Yen...
