PEOPLE, not corporations. Regulate Corporate behavior, not sovereign citizens.
But remember Mitt Romney said, "corporations are people" and the Citizens United ruling basically asserts the same thing. I don't agree with either of those, but that's the way it is.
On the other hand, if corporations *are* people then they should have the same responsibilities as people and I should have the same opportunities as corporations -- for example, I'd like to register myself in Delaware, while, living elsewhere, to take advantage of that state's favorable banking and corporate litigation regulations, and/or when a corporation does something illegal, someone should definitely go to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison, instead of being able to pay a fine, etc...
You know Russia has subs parked on every undersea communication link that the US has right? The first blow in any war will be the US having its metaphorical eyes, ears, and tongue hacked off.
Hence the interest in satellite-to-satellite communications.
Sure, but the Russians have subs parked near every satellite too -- checkmate.
Yes there is. You're thinking of parallax, but what they are doing is interferometry, so they will be comparing the phase of radio signals received on opposite sides of the globe. That has to be done simultaneously.

Stop using Facebook.
Some folks who already feel like Facebook is watching them when they see ads in their News Feed for bridal gowns after getting engaged may be creeped out by the fact their messages are being analyzed.
Now M Suggestions can spy on -- I mean "watch" -- I mean "analyze" -- your messages in real-time. Ya, *much* less creepy./sarcasm
As Steven Wright said, "Last time I went to the movies I was thrown out for bringing my own food. My argument was that the concession stand prices are outrageous. Besides, I haven't had a barbecue in a long time."
And, more seriously, one or two previews are a "pro", seven or eight are not.
Does the unit fail or keep working? If it keeps working as designed, then so what? Not being argumentative, just curious about the hubbub. Phone manufactures are working on curved phones, so why not a curved Switch?
What never fails to amaze me is how people seem to think that a strike what their first option. This is the very last option when all other negotiations have failed.
Talented writers are rare. If we want to enjoy good content, they need to paid well. Or we get shit, like most of the shit that gets produced.
Don't see where they're doing this as the first option. They could have been negotiating for some time, but that doesn't usually make a headline story: "Writers Negotiate for Better Wages" -- something to which we'd all simply say, "duh".
If your car is that fast, I think you will have more pressing matters to attend to, like staying on the planet.
Actually given the amount of air resistance and therefore friction at that speed the large plasma fireball which will surround you will make you very detectable, although not really identifiable, and your immediate problem will be avoiding instant cremation, not staying on the planet.
You are assuming that anti-agapics will only prolong the productive years. What if they prolong the long, decaying years as well?
What if it only prolongs the life of rich people? 'Cause I'm pretty sure anything developed won't be made available to the unwashed masses - or even the washed ones. (Don't know which are here on/.)
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Sure, the blockbuster made over $850 million worldwide in spite of negative reviews... but just think of how much more it could have made had it not had a Rotten Tomatoes score of 27 percent!
... I still wouldn't have seen it. Not interested in the plot and think that DC movies generally take themselves way too seriously.

That's Trump though, massively rich and successful businessman, ...
For specific values of "massively" and "successful".
Linux MINT == Ubuntu minus the suck desktop plus your choice of MATE or Cinnamon
Or just use the Ubuntu MATE flavor.
Note: I do like Mint, but don't like being yet another step removed from Debian (or Ubuntu ...).
Ajit Pai Plans Fast-Track Repeal of Net Neutrality
Seems fitting that he doesn't want to give this equal priority.
There is no need for "at once".
Yes there is. You're thinking of parallax, but what they are doing is interferometry, so they will be comparing the phase of radio signals received on opposite sides of the globe. That has to be done simultaneously.
And, I imagine, a good use for NTP (or the like).
You can still measure football fields in metric.
Ya, they're called soccer fields. :-)
Currently reading "Blue Remembered Earth". Previously, read the Revelation Space series (or most of it), Century Rain, Push Ice, and Terminal World.

Future versions: Titan Vista, Titan 7 ...
And if you don't agree, you could always apt-get MATE.
And now MATE is an official Ubuntu flavor and the desktop can be easily (re)configured for various layouts, one being like on Mint if you like.
"Sperm Count" (listed on page two) seems unnecessary.
Concession Prices

Really? Thats the bullshit you are going to comment with - an attempt to use a tired old phrase to somehow devalue my opinion on the matter?
Settle down. Drinkypoo isn't devaluing your opinion, just your experience on the matter.
When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.
And, checking recent events, apparently, US health insurance law. :-)
Absolutely, either Linux Mint or Ubuntu, and I'm leaning towards Mint for the more Windows-like desktop.
I'm using Ubuntu MATE 16.04 flavor as I like the MATE interface from Mint, but didn't like being one more level removed by using Mint.

Very few animals were harmed in the making of this motion picture.
Ya, but how many people were harmed by watching it.

Or politicians.
