Since you've turned this into a political instead of policy debate, are you referring to the same government control of banks and "nationalizing" of car manufacturers Bush also pushed for and brokered through congress?
I must have missed all the media outlets you read. Everything I've seen has declared it an underwhelming, but predictably unnecessary product in Apple's lineup.
He often doesn't need to really point out anything. Simply display a video of what someone said yesterday next to a video of what they said two years ago.
Another slashdotter who fails to realize his needs are not the same as everyone. Leave no satisfied iphone user unrebuked. The echo chamber around here is getting disgusting.
I find it rather difficult to actually use more than 200mb a month unless I'm trying to. Data transfers on web pages and sports scores just don't add up very fast.
Ok. Quote the beginning and end of my post, respond to that and nothing else. Keep on karma whoring the same information in multiple points in a discussion and begging mods to see things you way. Bonus points for more flamebait shots at opponents of issues you disagree with that have nothing to do with the current topic.
Or perhaps you are one of those nuts that believes that if we are not violent nothing will be done. I'd like to remind you that all those guns did not stop an extremely invasive surveillance law being put into place by the previous US government....
Please mod the parent troll, if possible ignorant as well.
I hope you see the irony in your indignant rant. Where does the GP mention guns or the US? You may have had some useful information (which you posted elsewhere in the thread, almost word for word), but you trolled back way harder than any perceived troll by the GP. And begging for moderation on slashdot is quickly becoming a sign of an unwillingness to honestly approach another user's comment. If you truly believed LBt1st was trolling Australians, why respond?
As the above poster describes, it's the social aspect. I appreciate the camaraderie being part of a well defined realm brings. And adding hundreds of personalities to a friends list isn't really the same thing. The most prescient example I can think of was the gate opening event for Ahn'Qiraj in classic WoW. Realms competed to be the first to achieve a collective effort of quests in order to open their gate first. My realm was neck and neck with another to be the world's first, resulting in one of the most exciting atmospheres I've ever been a part of in a game.
How is Gmail different than any other free public email service in this regard? Moreover, any unencrypted email you send or receive, even if you pay for the service, is subject to the same privacy concerns.
Not to mention if you have a card on the recently updated legacy support list, you can't run Catalyst 9.4 binaries which are the only version to support X 1.6. I don't care who's fault it is, it just means I'll be sticking with Hardy until that gets solved or LTS runs out.
After investigating this, the crux of the issue seems to be twofold. First, X.org server 1.6 is the default version for Jaunty. This requires Catalyst 9.4 of the proprietary driver (as mentioned in AMD's release notes). Second, 9.4 drops legacy support for a whole load of pre-3000 series cards. So your only option from Jaunty onwards, it would seem, is the open source 2d-only driver.
For the love of god, quote the claims not the description. The claims are the only legally pertinent language in a patent. You might still have a point (and probably do), but pointing to what looks like the summary of the description and saying "see I told you so" means nothing. Slashdot readers need a patent law 101 course.
So, is a lifelong Democrat any different than a lifelong Democrat? I think to really make your point you should have really called them OMG LIFELONG DEMOCRATS!!!
I expect for people who still hold sentimentality towards their boxed goodies, more companies will include offerings like Valve did for the HL2 release. They offered a digital Gold edition that included a shipment of additional tchotchkes.
You've apparently already forgotten the bundled in DRM installed straight from most disc-based games today. In fact, all of the stories I've seen in the past few years of DRM causing issues is from games that shipped by disc. Additionally as noted above, I trust Valve more than any other studio to strip the DRM should the time come that they are unable to provide authentication servers.
I think you are describing method claims when you refer to "the entire concept". Unfortunately, the PTO must folow the rules set forth by congress and their interpretation by the court system. It is true that mistakes are made and art is missed resulting in otherwise invalid patents. However most people around here fail to realize that the office itself is bound by law to give equal weight to both method and apparatus claims.

And what's up with the 250 MB for $15? Who would really use that? The average user would probably use that up in two days.
That's a lot of web page data to use only during the times you can't get wifi. I've rarely gone over 250megs in a month on my phone.
I'm hoping there will be some way to rig up the sim on my phone to use a contractless $30/month data plan.

Is that a laser Floyd show or a video game?
Wow. And I'm the one frothing at the mouth? I think you've got a bit too much invested in this. I'm so terribly sorry I like my phone.

Is it legal for your ISP to simply dump this information bound for another server into a log and keep it?

As someone I was talking to suggested, with a couple plugins Wave seems like it would be a pretty good remote site D&D client.
it hasn't accept my friend request on Facebook yet!

Well to be fair, it must be pretty hard to find an attorney that hasn't worked for the RIAA.
