What your apple hating pee brain fails to grasp is apple is not a monopoly for restricting software allowed to run on their products. To help you further understand this Microsoft with the X-box, Sony with the PlayStation, and Nintendo with the Wii, all practice those same procedures yet they are not monopolies; how about movie theaters you can only buy their approved food, even restaurants practice this they restrict beverage choice to either coke or pepsi. The most apple could be accused of being is anti-competitive by restricting the app market to their phone. While what apple is doing sucks, it is legal, and whining and crying about it not being fair won't change a thing. The only way apple will change is if a new phone becomes the next big thing and has a good app market to boot, so dry up your tears and start making apps for android, and go buy one of the new android phones on your favorite carrier.
Nonsense. I'm tired of people trolling about Chicago who don't know a goddamn thing about it. Al Capone has been dead for a while now. Chicago is run more honestly (and WAY more efficiently) than many big US cities.
79 local elected officials have been convicted of a crime, including three governors (soon to be 4), one mayor, and 27 aldermen in the last 30 years. Between 1995 and 2004, 469 politicians from the federal district of Northern Illinois were found guilty of corruption. The only districts with higher tallies were central California (which includes L.A.), and southern Florida (which includes Miami). ref sun-times.
Bottom line is this is a legal matter not a school matter, the school should not get involved, the student broke no rules on school property so the school has zero grounds for discipline.
So we should throw out everything our founding fathers fought for because they had slaves? Their ideas are invalid because they had slaves? So should obama be invalidated because he was a crack head?
The only problem I have with yahoo's policy is that they should be having current users opt-in, and giving those who choose to opt-in extra benefits to entice them. All new users would have to opt-in after they agreed to the no-privacy terms. A big question I have is once the user starts sharing his information, Yahoo is providing a service for their information, which is a contract because both parties get something, now since it is a contract would yahoo be able to change the terms at their will.
How is a 3rd party, who has rarely if ever seen your system, going to come in and magically fix issues when the person who uses it everyday cannot?
You're under the delusion that this bill's true intention is to help, but truthfully it's nothing more then a power grab. First they got control of the car companies under a financial emergency, next they went after control of health care because of a health care emergency, they are currently going after control of wall street because of the financial emergency, why would it surprise you that they are going after the internet (where information is freely disseminated) to control it under the threat of a cyber-emergency.

If it's so important to you that you need this level of control over the behavior of the people sitting near you then perhaps you shouldn't have left home.
I'm sure you would just love to have a teenager yapping it up for a whole 3 hour ride next to you, after the 5th OMG and like about 20 likes I bet you would pray for the days with no cell phones on planes.
And of course, it has obvious and logical side effects... when a single mother doesn't get to see her kid AT ALL, because she's working 16-hours a day to give him a roof and food, does it surprise you that he ends up shooting a classmate at the age of 7 ?
Actually just being a child of a single mother will increase the chances that the kid goes to jail. 70% of juveniles in detention centers come from fatherless homes, and 43% of inmates. ref- William Barr, "Crime, Poverty, and Family,"
Most of the tea party people I know hate Bush only slightly less than Obama...
It's not that they hate him it's that through his poor leadership Obama was able to get into office based on warm tingly feelings instead of platforms.
There are diploma mills that crank out such types for exorbitant fees--Phoenix U, Strayer, etc.--but I don't think the big names are exempt. I once met a University of Maryland College Park grad (B.S. in computer science) who didn't understand pointers and who couldn't grok hexadecimal math. These shortcomings notwithstanding, she was enrolled in their graduate program.
To be fair most kids today can't do 10base math without a calculator either.
How about a permanent demotion that causes your maximum level of office to be restricted? Lose a senate seat, you're in the house (if elected). Lose the house, you're in the state congress, lose that and it's city council, etc. Forced permanent demotions would prevent bad politicians from remaining in government at a level they can continue to do harm. A further stipulation would be that you could no longer be in-line for the presidency should disaster strike.
Too Bad it would never work people are fickle by nature and what they want one one year "Hope and Change" the next year "Limited Government" has more of a bearing on who is reelected. Now lets apply that to the real world and see how well it works there were many kids that were fired from low wage jobs should they have to spend the rest of their lives working at even lower jobs, what is lower then working at a fast food restaurant?
fashion is the only "art" that can become OBSOLETE.
How many musical artists have created and sold music over the last 100 years, how many of those artists are still remembered and/or listened to on a regular basis, and are still considered as popular and/or relevant as when they created their music? Discuss. For bonus points, compare and contrast the trends in the music industry during the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's, and identify whether or not these trends bare any resemblance to fashion trends in that the music changes because, over time, music artists "want to stay ahead of the curve", and "don't want to be" playing "what everybody else is" playing.
What business a company has prying into your personal life when deciding whether to hire you I don't know but Facebook did nothing to stop it.
So if I make bad decisions like doing meth and post photos of me doing meth on Facebook and make those photos public I may not have the best judgment that is more then a good enough reason not to hire me.

But When you soak everything in maple syrup it more then makes up for that.

How is it forced, you can choose to work or not if you choose to do nothing you won't get paid.

It can still get you a few dollars off at the movie theater.
and those guys who forcibly sent that kid back to Cuba.

The 3.5" floppy is still around yet it's been obsolete for a long time now.
Fashion is a lot like software: the more transparency, the better.
Except on large builds where abstraction is very important.

So a page renders itself then waits until it's inactive then rerenders it won't take long for a patch.
They will probably just attach it to the net neutrality bill.

In practice, I suspect it is more of a distraction than anything else.
As opposed to the cross-word, the distraction of yesteryear.
