"free market principles" won't help here. On the contrary, just think of the money that would go into actual health care if the government came in guns-ablaze and forcefully said "no, United Health Care, you can't treat your customers like the deepest turd of a batch of untreated sewer sludge", or "no, big drugmaker, you can't throw millions of dollars on advertising niche products like fucking Restasis all over primetime tv instead of putting the money toward cutting the costs of life-saving meds".
Those are two cases where I'd actually be elated to see the NSA and TSA put into use: snoop on the moneyed fuckers involved and No-Fly 'em as soon as it's clear they want to take anything that resembles a business trip to plan their next splurge.
refusing to even allow the bill to come up for debate until it gets just the desired amount of crossed-out lines, ideological additions, arcane language, and pork behind closed subcommittee doors; and
voting against it anyway once it's finally allowed on the floor.
I'd happily throw money at Intel graphics, once (a) they actually do catch up to the Big Two (they are currently not even anywhere near anything close to something that so much as resembles half their performance or graphical feature set), (b) I can afford them, and (c) they stop considering soldering their new chips to the board, or make more chips with "Windows 8-only" features.
Buying someone's chip is taken by that someone as support for their policies. Those in (c) are two that I hope I never have to support, and I don't want to pay a "competitor" that's just aiming to out-monopolize the monopoly.

When I deleted the YouTube account (that I had linked to my non-tainted Google Account long before), it was partly because reloading the page didn't stop the Real Name harassment. Whether this was because cookies didn't save, or whether Google has changed this in the months since, doesn't really matter to me anymore. They wanted my business and didn't want my trust, and now have neither my trust nor my YouTube account.
It's a direct attack on the people who search, get their mail, and watch videos through Google, and a direct love letter to Facebook and their vile business model.
Slashdot Mirror
He works at the NYPD, but since he's too busy cleaning his PC with MyCleanPC, he keeps deleting FOIA requests instead of answering them. Oops.
It's reassurance of the Fuck You, I'm Rich, Now Bend Further Over kind.
Kudos to whoever tagged the story "balaclava"..."change the face of British retail" indeed.
The Slashdot team works all day, erry day. You should give them more credit.
They're not hiring. They're poaching.

Oracle's involved, so good luck with that.
Raiden: "You got enough?"
Snake: "Absolutely." *points to bandana* "Infinite ammo!"
And if the answer to that is "Nothing", have we really been harmed?
...and that is why you don't call business an "ecosystem".
Wait in line? Hah! They'd just strip your name off, make an ACA healthcare exchange server out of it, and LOL at your insignificance.
Apparently not one ping only.

Won this war, and started this war.
I'm with you...is Google even using valid HTML, or HTML5,* in the problem pages? Last I checked GOOG was great at breaking both.
*I did not repeat myself.
Good call! Wouldn't want those highly advanced scientists at al-Qaeda to reproduce it at the gene level or anything.
It's probably due in part to the whole KDE Free Qt thing. It keeps Qt free in the event Qt isn't...um...kept free. It's pretty nice.
You mean "only non-Slashdotters"? People here routinely (and rightly) swoon over ad and cookie blocking.
Exactly. Besides, their move to cable misses the point of why people were cutting cable for Netflix in the first place.
(Cutting both, of course, would be better.)
"...or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
Hasn't Clapper indeed adhered to, aided, and comforted enemies (i.e. the NSA) of the US?
Charge him with both.

Hell, I'd actually be impressed if LinkedIn blocked LinkedIn. Spammy bastards.
