Are they really trying to patent updating several social networks with the same inane post? I'm pretty sure prior art on that goes back as far as 12 year olds have been on the internet.
Is poo-pooing them really necessary? Researching acronyms is hard work and, lets face it, there have been stinkers far worse than this one in the past.
Grinding is the term used to describe a repetitive, boring task that you do to get some reward. Minecraft is anything but grinding as there are no rewards to work towards. If you feel building creative structures out of cubes is grinding then Minecraft might not be for you.
And when you meet American tourists in France do you greet them warmly, or do you pointedly ignore them because they are just ignorant Americans? You should probably examine how Americans are treated in your country before you judge them on how they treat you in theirs.
you probably don't want it to cover this, assuming you still want to be able to buy phones at less than full market price
On the contrary, I would much rather pay full market price for a phone than be forced to pay for one through over-priced subscription fees. Then I would be able to buy a phone from anywhere without paying for it a second time with my phone bill.
We need those founding ideals to be intact because today's government is inherently corrupt. If we didn't have a set of guidelines in place then today we would have unlimited copyrights and the RIAA would use the government to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from citizens because their IP address turned up in a list somewhere. Wait...
Who is a trusted source? Apple? Motorolla? I'll trust the source code that I am free to read myself long before I'll trust anything a phone manufacturer forced on me.
Except you don't really have $12 worth of music. You cannot sell your downloaded music for $12. You end up with $50 and some files that have no monetary value.
I honestly think Google is very disingenuous to say Android is open when many currently-selling actual devices are locked tighter than the iPhone.
I'm sure there are some cheap Linux based routers out there loading from an unflashable ROM chip. Does that mean Linux isn't open? Claiming that software isn't open because you can find it on locked down hardware doesn't make sense.
There are two dimensions economic and personal freedoms.
I would argue that even two dimensions is overly simplistic. Trying to quantify people's beliefs is pointless, and leads to our current system of most people voting based on Rs or Ds rather than what they actually believe.
The problem with this line of thinking is that it has been shown that advertising can buy votes. There is a ratio relating votes lost through actions vs money gained that means lobbyists just have to pay more than X and it makes political sense for a politician to do something unpopular.
But what happens when an Iranian nuke is "lost" and ends up in the hands of an organization that has no public ties to the Iranian government? If said organization managed to nuke New York would the US be free to nuke Tehran? What if they couldn't link the nuke to Iran and just assumed that was where it originated?

Have we learned nothing? If you want it to stay dead you need to destroy the brain.

A terrorist uses VIOLENCE to further a political agenda.
No, that's violencists. I can't remember what terrorists use but it's something different.
Programmable bacteria are all well and good, but I would rather hear more about this synthetic biologist. Can he use contractions?
So that's why they call them bunnies...
There is no "is" in science
Only the dark scientists deal in absolutes.

Old Apple 1 Up For Auction
Is it the 1-up they used when they re-hired Steve, or the 1-up they got when Microsoft gave them capital?
Posting to fix a misclick.

Exactly. I mean, imagine if Apple didn't have the source to iTunes. It could have been a bloated piece of crap!

You don't need a glyph for "=>" for instance. Anyone who knows what = and > mean individually can discern the meaning.
"=>" is not the same thing as ">=". In C#, for example, "=>" is the lambda operator.
A simple bit of math based on some decent assumptions shows that there may be billions of potentially habitable worlds in the galaxy.
That's proof enough for me.

I'm ordering the TPB.
No no no. You don't have to order from the pirate bay, just click the button.

Why not just breed the honey bees with a hardier strain of bee? Perhaps something from Africa...
