Let me ask you one question: if Microsoft were the one patenting this, would you have come up the same conclusion? I would say no, you'd decry it as being a disgusting abuse heaped on unsuspecting victims - er, customers. As you should. Remember, Apple is a corporation just like Microsoft. If Microsoft would do it, so would Apple.
The RIAA and MPAA are associations of record labels / movie producers. In the lawsuits, the member label / producer does the suing as is legally required.
If they're cheating, yes. It ruins the gaming experience for everyone (remember, the score of a player is also tied to their rank, which directly affects the matchmaking system).
You must be insane. SNOMED has a whopping 390,022 codes in it, in an ungodly tree structure. At least with ICD-10 it's only 23,321 codes and it's pretty much flat.
Well everyone else was paying cash+crosslicense. Apple only wanted to pay cash, and only the same amount as the others. I.e. they wanted to pay less than everyone else.
Hence... ah screw it. You'll just revise history like every Apple fanboi does when confronted with something they don't like.
Actually, EVE runs under incredibly heavy load most of the time, and tolerates surprisingly well considering. The fact that it takes a DDoS to cause it to collapse, and that it doesn't do it randomly "just because it's one MSSQL Server" is proof you're talking out your ass.
That's a flat out lie. Square Enix somehow manages to make the Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV MMOs work cross-platform - Microsoft's "network policies" most assuredly do not prevent you from creating a cross platform MMO.
You're being charged the same amount the rest of us across the planet are for unlocked iPhones - the average price means precisely jack shit. Get over it.
Your whole post is revised history. Obviously Apple didn't agree that the trademark was abandoned, or they wouldn't have been at the negotiating table with Cisco in the first place. But when it looked like things weren't going their way, they decided to simply steal it, and let their fanbois defend them in the court of public opinion. Obviously they succeeded, because people like you are out there spinning Apple's version of history, because Apple can do no wrong. I suppose you'll also say Greenpeace are lying scum because they gave Apple bad ratings for environmental awareness in product development and packaging? And that Apple came up with the name Facetime all on their own?
I've not seen any laws on the books banning anything with the exception of obviously youths, non-consensual, not in public, and the usual banning of objectionable films - can still do whatever you want in your own house though.
Stop trying to ram your religious dogma down everyone's throat. Having never met my father, I take great pride in pointing out that I'm not a sociopath or psychopath, and telling you that you are full of shit.
PayPal won't touch a porn site with a 1000ft barge pole. Most credit card companies won't either. Their industry is what is termed "high risk" - there's a small number of providers who'll work with them, they won't even try to fight chargebacks (they pretty much expect them), and their discount rate is usually above 10% per transaction. 99% of these providers handle the payment page themselves (so the adult merchant never sees the card details). This supposedly makes it more discrete, but let's be honest - if "CCBill.com" appears on your card statement, everyone knows it's porn.
I dunno, even prostitution is legal here. Off the top of my head, the only laws that really apply now are that it has to be consensual, between two adults, and you can't do it in public.
PCI only covers security. It couldn't be used to mandate RFID unless there was a security reason for it. And for the most part, RFID is more of an insecurity-introducing feature.
That division of PayPal only serves Europe. USA is served by PayPal, Inc (not a bank), the Pacific region is served by PayPal Pte Ltd in Singapore, which also has a giant disclaimer on the website "does not require the approval of the Monetary Authority of Singapore" (not a bank). Basically, everyone but Europe is screwed.
You forgot the step where the central bank issues a loan of $4000 to BoA based on BoA having reserves of $2000. Remember, the central bank can create and destroy money (they're also technically the only ones legally permitted to destroy cash - fun fact).
There are actually valid answers to all your questions. For a start, PayPal actually doesn't hold deposits - they deposit into their own numerous bank accounts held with real banks - if you read their annual statements (assuming they produce any) then you'd see which banks those are even. This also means PayPal collects money on those deposits, and you don't. It's also how PayPal claims to be FDIC covered - because the accounts with the other banks where the money really is are covered. Also, the credit card is issued by GE Money, with PayPal's branding on it, so they don't actually issue credit. Saying that they do in fact issue credit based on that means that Blizzard Entertainment also issues credit, since they issue co-branded MasterCards (or was it Visa? Anyhow...) too.

The Nokia N-Series was.
Oh, "M$". How original.

Basically, take your bullshit FUD and shove it.
If by "good" you mean "impossible".
(Correction, FFXIV isn't available. But FFXI is).

Not the GP, but replied anyway.

Those tube sites collect an even more astronomical profit if I'm not mistaken. Them and the cam sites.
You do realise that by logging into their email, you committed a crime, right? If you're in the US, I believe it may even be a federal crime.
To other readers, I'd strongly recommend not following those idiotic instructions.

The fact the product was unpopular and no-one really bought it doesn't mean that it didn't exist. Nice try at rewriting history though.
