In the Matrix, machines depend on humans for energy - that's just a metaphor.
Google's energy is content. Google keeps humans happy by providing them a lot of freebies. The whole purpose of the human race is to create content for google to index, serve etc.
rot32 was broken 6 months back. I have moved to rot128 since then. It is 4 times stronger - sure it takes a little more power, but I can sleep well at night now.
This is from the book "System Dynamics" by Ogata. Several complete & continuous pages can be seen. There are various books where I have seen anything from 20% to 50% of the book being shown on Google books - after every 4-5 pages - couple of pages are not shown & then again 4-5 pages.
The discussion of whether it helps the author or not is irrelevant.
I have no idea about Australia, but in most countries phones are sold by phone shops - which have nothing to do with carriers. Carriers also sell phones, but a majority of phones sold have nothing to do with the carrier.
Obviously low end phones will have to move towards basic smart phone capabilities just as they once had to start including address books and text messaging
I don't remember a time when a low end phone did not have text messaging? When exactly was this?
The real reason for USPS problems is not e-mail or online bill pay. The real reason is the Postal Act of 2006 which requires USPS to pre-fund 80% of future retiree health-care obligations by 2016. This costs USPS 5.5 billion $ per year. If not for this, USPS would have shown a 600 Million $ profit over the last 4 years.
None of the USPS competitors (or for that matter any other company) has this burden. It's very likely this was lobbied for by USPS competitors - No lobbyist left behind.
I don't really understand what's so difficult to figure out here... A game is not a necessity. It's not like food, insurance or fossil fuels. Don't like it, don't play the damn game. If everyone followed this mantra microtransactions would go away. But a lot of people obviously don't care or are not principled enough to do something about it. So it gets forced on the rest of us, who evidently are in the minority.
What do you mean 'forced'? A game is not a necessity. It's not like food, insurance or fossil fuels. Don't like it, don't play the damn game. Nobody is forcing anything on anyone.
Looks like Wheezy will finally get a piece of the pie. I bet it took a whole lot of trying just to get up that hill. Now that they are up in the big leagues, they will get their turn to bat.
And I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

How can we figure out if bestiality was coerced or not?
Hmm - I thought that the Apple OS has only a BSD shell & not a BSD kernel.
At 1 million $ per version, I expect to see atleast 300 google sponsored revisions of Firefox in 2012.
IPad was the #1 purchase on the IPhone & the IPhone was the #1 purchase on the IPad.
I think I will wait for Firefox10 - I heard it's going to be out early next week.

Welcome to the Matrix.
What exactly is the national law which says that google must pay for the storage for your video & for the bandwidth while serving it to the world?
Freedom of press? What freedom is it that grants people the right to use storage paid for and served by google?
The full motto is 'Don't be evil to your customers.'.
UMG is their customer - Google isn't being evil to them - so where's the problem.

Most of the posts are saying the google just shows search snippets. That's not true.
Some of the books just have a snippet view. But there are a lot of books where you can get many pages of the book.
Here is an example

I heard that V12 is so fast that it is due this week - even before V11.

Why would you want a lot of books called the Nook?
Hasn't that become a common technology already? They use it at the Montecito Casino at Las Vegas. And Jack uses it at the CTU all the time.

Messed it up!!!

What if someone pronounces nuclear as nucular - is it considered as a non-native accent?
