It's not quite like the mob... if you don't like it, you can switch to another carrier when you contract expires. And that is the problem with subsidizing phone purchases with monthly connection fees -- companies don't get the feedback that they've screwed up until 2 years later when the contract expires.
Charge them for how much data they use, not for how they use it. AT&T is just assuming that anybody tethering is using more bandwidth than they would otherwise. The real problem is that they hooked subscribers with a promise of "unlimited data" in the first place.
That's all very well and good, but shouldn't this be a civil matter, not a criminal one? Especially since there is no evidence of gross negligence on the behalf of Airbus?
Thanks. But the author also says "No, I'm not using the theory to prove itself. In fact, I don't think we can prove physical theories at all - see, for example, "Science and Truth" in this series. If I haven't made it clear enough, my intention was to explain that in the theory of special relativity the existence of faster than light communication necessarily implies causality violations. This doesn't, of course, mean that in the real world FTL implies causality violation, because it's possible that special relativity is wrong. As is sometimes said, you can pick at most two of {special relativity, FTL, causality}. However, special relativity is supported by such a vast mass of experimental data to such a high precision (mostly through its combination with quantum mechanics in quantum field theory) that it's going to be very difficult to make a theory that fits all this data and allows FTL and causality to coexist."
In short, since there exist loads of evidence for special relativity and causality, FTL is least likely to be true, because if it is possible, either special relativity or causality is wrong.
So you're saying the Japan earthquake is proof that a time machine powerful enough to mess with tectonic plates in the past has been invented in the future? (Damn, it's hard to use the proper tense when discussing this!)
Causality -- it's the law, bitches! Simply put, any phenomena that allows an effect to occur in time before it's cause violates my Buddhist faith as well as my understanding of Physics. I believe (and hope) it may be possible for information to travel faster than light, but information traveling backwards in time really messes up the universe.
We're not hearing from those most affected because they, uh, don't have power and internet connections right now! So at best we can communicate with those not directly affected. Yes, for the majority of residents of Japan the Earthquake was just an inconvenience. Those are not the people we are expressing sympathy for.

Charlie Sheen, is that you?
No, but bus drivers that hit bicycles have been charged with manslaughter. But then, I don't think the bus companies ever have been.

Actually it's the stiffness that make for a good, er, business card.
You're telling me! I keep telling my managers "We should be using subversion!" They all think I'm some kind of subversive...
Apparently the project head was into "water sports"...
You want that number to a person who you know can get you what you need.
Wait... do prostitutes give out business cards now? I've been out of the loop for a while...
But if you aren't wearing pants, where do you keep your wallet with your business cards?
In your purse. Or your sporran.
Well, it may be thick, but it sure is short!
I purchase card stock from Office Depot and print my own cards which say:
Hello, my name is Locke
and I would like to fuck you!

So how did the Universe inflate at a rate much greater than the speed of light shortly after the big bang?
Amen brother! What good is a smart phone if I can't use it to view porn videos while driving???
Why remove the evidence when you could simply go back and not commit the crime in the first place???
I prefer to believe it was just blind luck.

If you're drinking $50 worth of booze a day, I'd say you have a problem...
I'd also say that offering "unlimited alcohol" is unlawful in most states, for obvious reasons.
Wait... Glen Beck posts on slashdot now?!?

What, you mean the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives" isn't a one-stop party supply store?!?
That word has GOT to be the world's most versatile fucking adjective!
Well, sure, but what have they done lately? E.g. in the last year?
