The politicians do care, and it's them who make laws. Of course, they really care about bribes^Wcampaign donations, but it's MAFIAA who can get them that, not nameless customers. The latter can try voting, but the public in general is too easily swayed to campaigns, in turn funded by the donations, so the scheme keeps perpetuating itself.
Since they already don't care the least about the Fourth, I don't see why they'd care about Fifth. And since they didn't care about Second as well, even that recourse is now gone.
So if I want to pay money for a slice of your heart (so I can cook it), would a judge help me with it?
Permission to use that data belongs to a third party (the customers), so it didn't belong to Borders in the first place (they had only a limited one with non-disclosure). No matter if someone promises me that slice of your heart, there is no way a sane law would enforce that promise on you, as this was not a part of any contract you made.
EVERY "agree to click" thing includes terms about your first born and so on. The problem is, the enforcement is uneven. If the law decided that every single term is valid (and also, shouldn't be left "just in case"), it would be almost as good since people would have to actually read click-throughs.
Fortunately, on my current side of the pond, personal data cannot be so trivially sold. I almost did end up on yours, though, so I'm scared about how things are.
Uhm no, it's not an "asset", it's a limited license to use your personal data for some purposes. The judge suddenly decided that the license from _you_, a third party to the bankruptcy, can be somehow extended without your consent.
Incoming "minutes"? Do you want to say you have to pay when someone calls you? Where do you have phone companies that bad, and how come anyone uses them?
The pricing will be quoted in a dark corner of a far subpage on their web page, done in Flash to make sure you can't use a search engine or hyperlinks.
Can you guess how much T-Mobile (Heyah) charges for 7 MB of data roaming? Above $200 -- fortunately, I had "only" that much on a prepaid plan. They do advertise prominently their roaming prices for EU and US, but hide the rates for the rest of Europe as much as they can. Would you expect these could possibly be several orders of magnitude higher? Neither did I.
Obviously, you don't use mobile networks from abroad if you don't have to. I happened to use an ATM machine, and minutes later got a message from the bank about a massive withdrawal. It later turned out to be faulty -- a bug in formatting that I don't blame the bank that much for (errors happen). Obviously royally scared, I immediately visit the bank's page (with a regular browser, they have special apps for iPhone and Android only). It turns out to not work with Firefox Mobile, Maemo MiniB, ancient Chromium nor ELinks -- I succeeded on the 5th try, with Opera. Had only two other installed browsers left:p. Sadly, Opera had no adblock and the bank's page has several big Flash animations, getting me to 7MB used just to check the balance. Great.
Naturally, T-Mobile's customer service says these rates are not an error.
Thus, what you say is not an exception, it's the standard operating procedure.
By "keep MySQL open for another four years", they mean "pay lip service to its life support, then on day 1462 stop even that". Sorry, but unless one of independent forks really takes off, I'm not going to even look at something else than Postgres. For that "bevy of open source improvements", what exactly has been added? Heck, MySQL development has been dormant even during Sun days.
From a back-of-the-envelope estimate, I see that AWS gets even with buying your own hardware in three months. Except, you still get to own the gear.
Thus, if you need a week or maybe a month of computation, AWS might be a better option, but for anything above that, forget it. If your needs are more bursty, that shifts the balance towards AWS, but again, you need to estimate what you need.

Don't worry, infrareds run around too drugged to notice.

Holy cow... have you looked at the Firehose and counted the submissions?
Interesting how many submit a blank story with nothing but a few words without checking for pretty obvious dupes.

Not giving any money to scumbags who want to use it against me -- and even against artists who they claim they care for -- is worth quite a lot.
Let's ogg them!
Well, they need to put a little pressure if they want to ensure a solid flow of campaign donations.

This is what Flashblock does, and I don't imagine browsing without it if you need flash.
Ok, but for that you'll have to boot a secure OS first so you can run Windows in that VM.

Repeating an experiment can reduce only random error, while their error here is clearly systematic.

Ok, so please remind me why are they allowed to market these speeds as anything above 15.6kbit they are?
We need a law that says burst speeds must be quoted no more prominently than the long-term one.
It's not like you could import trust for a dime a dozen from China.
If you pull the right strings, CNNIC will gladly cross-sign your root key. It will cost you more than 10/12 cents, though.
And why exactly Comodo isn't on the same boat? "Too big to fall" works even worse for security as it does for economy.
InnoDB has been added in 2001. Replication has been there since forever. You're listing old features of MySQL, not additions done by Oracle.

Electricity but not labour -- but for cash-strapped kinds of research, there's plenty of free or near-free student help.
A cluster you can get for L4000 is not going to need dedicated air conditioning.
