Then you don't buy the hammer - or you use the one that they're giving away for free (open source) but you don't get to call it their hammer (ref: Amazon).

If I did make a logical argument people would still argue with me non-sensically. At least this way, I get to pick the argument focus for those individuals.:-)
Yeah.. that's what I was thinking of when I typed that...
They're not tying it to the phone. They're tying it to the permission to utilize the Android trademark and to utilize the Google Apps.
Think of it this way, "Here's a box of screws. If you want to use my hammer, then you need to use my wood also." "If you don't want to, go elsewhere." is fine and no lumber yard would run into anti-trust issues over it. (Might run out of customers however due to nature of the business).
The intent I fully and whole-heartily agree with... However, 2% of _world_wide_revenues_ is what concerns me. I'd rather see it phrased as 2% of world-wide revenue apportioned to user base / affected users (affected or not by breach).
Hence, the larger the breach, the larger the fine. I could easily see Company A arguing to US regulators : "We shouldn't have to pay for US users as the EU already fined us for everyone.".
If you legitimately own a copy on some medium, medium-shifting to another one is legal, just like you can rip your own music CDs to mp3s.
Incorrect, at least under U.S. copyright law. RIAA v. Diamond, 98-56727 (9th Cir., June 15, 1999) (http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1054784.html), the seminal case on the issue, found a fair use in "space shifting" music to MP3 players, but did so under the auspices of the Audio Home Recording Act (http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap10.html), which carves out specific exemptions applicable to sound recordings. No such provision(s) exist for video game ROMs, in any jurisdiction I'm aware of.
So... there's an exemption for Music but not for everything else so you read the negative into it? Generally, in case law as I understand it (not a laywer) - the absence of a case proving a poiint can't be inferred to prove a point.
My only comment to this is hindsight is 20/20. The problem with statements like this is that they very obviously weren't at the time. Not just from the rating agency's point of view but many economists were feeling the same way. There were a few economists who cautioned against them and had them correctly evaluated but they were far from the majority and even then most of their opinions were hedged with speculative language.
Oh come now - just because there is a bunch of stupid economists that couldn't apply prior historical behavior to the situation at hand that makes those economists ones that should be excused? The housing bubble showed all signs of being a bubble. Any time a commodity rises as quickly as houses were you're guaranteed you're in the middle of bubble.
History is always 20/20 in terms of analysis. However, history serves some great examples for understanding what is going on today. Those who forget history are doomed to *u*k it up over and over again.
we already ruled out the sun as a driver of climate change, so the only conclusions are that the people of Saturn have been producing too much greenhouses gases, and thus destroying their planet. ipso facto, there are Martians on Saturn.
That's credible. Now please explain to me how they got 24 seals complete with combat equipment, two flight crews, a body and lots of swag - total at least 6,000 pounds - out in the one remaining chopper.
They didn't... they used a 3rd helicopter that was on standby as a backup.
AFAIK, It's pretty much always been free to block SMS. I've done it on all cell plans I've had (various carriers over the past 10-12 years). They don't like to advertise / push it - but if you ask how they'll certainly tell you and it's not complicated.
After all, you should be in charge of your bill - not somebody spamming you w/ SMS texts.
My wife and I use google talk to get around lack of SMS, which ironically probably costs the telco more but costs us less.
I'd become evil in an eye blink. Deep within my lair I would tie people to by horrendously over engineered table and unfold my nefarious plots to educate people about how bad their sense of editing, spelling, grammar and story selection are.
"No Mr Samzenpus, I expect you to learn"

There - fixed that for you since you're doing such a good job as a villain.
Actually 2 bit encryption has 4 keys : 00, 01, 10, and 11. I believe you're thinking of 1 bit encryption.
Depending upon your function to encrypt and what it does, having a 1 bit key doesn't make things necessarily any easier or harder. There may be additional values associated with the encryption algorithm which adds to the encryption complexity (eg: prior lookup on the past x+key bits that have been encrypted ).
"the site failed to renew its SSL certificate, a basic web protection that costs less than $30 a year and takes only hours to set up..... Wikileaks' head Julian Assange declined to comment." - What's he hiding?
Perhaps the fact that there's a man in the middle now handling/reading his traffic?
Step 1 : Come up with stupid invention and attempt to patent it.
Step 2 : Get in cahoots w/ a patent examiner and demand kickbacks.
Step 3 : ???
Step 4 : Profit!!!
My 3 legged cat doesn't really use her stump that much except when climbing steps...
She's developed the ability that when the front 2 paws are on the higher step, and her good back leg is on the lower step she'll angle her butt so that the stump is at the edge of the top step. The little stump will then twirl and while it's doing it's think she'll bring the back leg up and keep going.
Watching it almost reminds me of those famous horse pictures proving that a horse has 4 feet off the ground at a time...
i wonder if the treatment included retraining the cat on burying its business in the cat box.
Actually, both of my cats at home use their front paws to side paw the littler on top... So yes, assuming she doesn't step in it (unlikely) she'd be fine and up to the usual tracking the litter out of the box like normal...
PS: (Yes, I have a 3 legged cat so I have a basis for asserting this.)
PPS: ( Anyone have a 1 and 2 legged so I can complete the set? )

Posting stories on Slashdot / Putting it on CNN is only helping them get what they crave : Attention.
Some problems are best ignored - then they'll fade away out of frustration when they realize they're not getting the attention.
Blah blah - free press - I get it. I'm not asking for a law but common sense to take place.

Anybody care to run the figures and find out the % breakdown for each OS category?
( 4.13w + 6.55m + 12.15l ) / 17728 = 5.23
