They are amoral, but allow evil deeds to flourish because the people doing the deeds know they will never be held accountable. Lack of personal accountability is the REAL evil of the corporations.

just give me a device which can emit large amounts of radiation, and I'll give you a device which can tell you on the dot, when you have a significantly increased risk of developing cancer!

a more interesting question is "why do videogamers struggle with sex"? Either they a. can't find it, or b. find it, but don't know what to do with themselves, and so it's very awkward.
Not to mention, B is enough reason to scare them away from attempting to A.
its quite easy to break the battery by using it outside on a hot day.
I appear to have done that with the battery in my Droid. Because I used it excessively in the southern heat on my dashboard in the sun navigating somewhere with the screen on, the battery exceeded 40C for a significant period of time. My battery now lasts half as long as my friend's. I'm thankful for a user replaceable battery.
Now that I know just how easy it is for this to happen, I'll be more careful with my next battery. But that doesn't mean I don't want it user replaceable.
all they have to do is make firefox scale to multiple cores. There's no reason the UI from the current webpage I'm browsing should grind to a halt because I loaded 5 slashdot discussions in the background using middle-click. Both Chrome and Opera 11 have no problem handling this.
And before someone chimes in and posts this saying that they're working on it, take a look again, that page hasn't been updated since May 2010.
At the moment I couldn't care any less about javascript benchmark speed. I just want multicore scaling from Firefox and then I'll be happy.
Outing honest people whose only so-called "crime" is wanting to avoid the theft of their hard and presumably legitimately-earned dollars is completely and totally wrong
Tax is not theft. Someone evading tax is not honest.
Black is not white, whatever you libertarians might like to believe.
how dare you make such a reference on MLK day. I am offended on behalf of all 3 black people that visit slashdot.
We need to change it to "no representation without taxation"
That means all the elderly folk sucking the life out of our youth, and the people on welfare, don't get to vote. Why? Because people just vote themselves money anyways. If you already have money you're less likely to vote yourself more.
Oprah tried to start a school in NY here for those children, but they wanted Ipods for Christmas. So she built it in the country of Africa where they wanted clothes to go to school. . . . . . . . sorry guys, Africa's not a country, I'm not stupid.
How many of these people do you think have $10,000 USD sitting around?
There are lots of people who live paycheck to paycheck, perhaps more than you realize. And it's not that they don't know how to save money, its that they are stuck working dead end jobs like Gas Station attendants or WalMart greeters, and about 80% of their income goes towards living expenses like rent, food, utilities, phone bills, etc. The rest is spent on the 1 dinner and a movie a month to keep their sanity, and then birthday and Christmas presents when they come around.
For some people, saving up 10 thousand dollars would quite literally mean giving up everything you enjoy in life for over 2 years.
I don't disagree with you, but I had to ride public transit 1.5hrs each way for my coop job while I was in school because I couldn't afford a car.
My reward? Graduating with $50k in debt as opposed to $100k in debt. Now, do I expect everyone to do this? Lady I worked with in HS had a kid, worked as a manager at mcD. Was going to take her 8 years to get through community college. That said, if everyone lived below their means, companies would have to lower prices more, and being poor would be less of a burden.
aside: there is something to be said for the fact that I'm more in debt than many people will ever be allowed to be.
tax structure is surprising unimportant when it comes to an economy. Any macroeconomist worth his salt knows this. What IS important is where those taxes go: are they spent disproportionately on programs that do nothing to improve the efficiency of the workers of the country? Then the country's economy fails. Every time.
Disagree. Audio streams at 80kbps ogg or acc+ are what caused me to see the difference. I must use 80 because my metropcs data connection on my hacked motorola droid tops out at about 135kbps-- not enough for 128 if I have anything less than a full signal.
Get any of the free streaming programs on android, that's when I startged paying attention to the encoding format.
Our parents failed so miserably that the only way to catch cheaters is with technology. Cause it's too hard to raise them to be upstanding adults.
I bet you they'd blame someone else if we pointed out the kids weren't raised well. (And then fuss about how today's youth won't accept responsibility, while expressing confusion over who they learned that from!)
He runs the State of California, which owns (or is paying for) the phones. Sounds like he's saying "I want my phones back." Confiscating makes it sound like he's taking people's own property away from them.
Typical slant from certain pro-government writers. If you look close enough, it's all over the place. They would like you to believe it only exists under Murdoch's media empire, and it does only exist there, if you're only look for pro-corporate slant.
MP3 is seriously showing its age at lower bitrates. 96kbps AAC+ and Ogg both sound MUCH better than 128kbps MP3 in my opinion. They have an analog falloff for the information that couldn't make the bitrate, so they sound much more natural to our ears. I can pick out the harsh harmonics from low bitrate 128kbps MP3 streams from shoutcast and icecast very easily.
I was always happy with MP3, and am for >192kbps, but the alternatives sound much better below this.
If it's simply "iPhone 4" - then I'm sorry, but it won't work on both the old "CDMA" and on LTE being rolled out by Verizon now. It needs to have some changes to make it work on either.
The only one who used "4G" above is you; the parent poster said "LTE".
I'll agree with this. AMD's been seeing some triumphs lately- their graphics division has been very successful, even despite a minor delay with the Radeon HD6900 GPU. Nvidia might have the performance crown this generation, but their previous generation has been shaky and their 40nm chips haven't been as available as AMD's, allowing AMD to gain considerable marketshare.
I've noticed a few netbooks with AMD Bobcat cores appear at CES, and has enough performance and power efficiency to give both Atom and Ion some serious competition.
While Llano doesn't appeal to me personally, it's nice to see Fusion reaching the desktop shortly. I'm also anxious to see how the Bulldozer will perform once it's released in a few months.
With the delay of Intel's Ivy Bridge into 2012, AMD has a lot of potential to make this year a profitable one.
so the guy that brought AMD to a position where they're successfully launching 3 products in one year (which they've never done before) is not someone you want to keep around? Are you kidding? It's about momentum and inertia, this is a silly time to do something like this to a visionary like him.
This is the same board that kept that dolt Hector Ruiz around for years while he ran the company into the ground. Color me unsurprised.

this is pretty similar to cap and trade, which is ok, so I fail to see what they're doing wrong here.
They are amoral, but allow evil deeds to flourish because the people doing the deeds know they will never be held accountable. Lack of personal accountability is the REAL evil of the corporations.
and governments

no but Watson does.

Good for them. Social Security and Medicare are dead ends anyway and were to begin with.

The point was that it was ignorant, not that it was anti anything.
people jump on the ignorance when it's relating to something anti-European or pro-American much faster than they jump on it when it's pro-European.
