Last time I checked, California still isn't given a junk rating on their debtor status, but Greece is, and the others are heading there.
Also, the last time I checked, California has as large of an economy as the largest of those nations (Spain), with far more robustness and diversity than most of them; the only real problem with California is government overspending and a recession impacting capital gains taxes, not overspending AND a recession AND a lack of global competitiveness AND massive corruption AND a government that consistently falsified their economic status AND junk debt.
We recently got rid of government subsidies for the banks that distributed student loans. They now only have the venture capital market to profit from.
I'd rather trust my friend who lives down the block with my info, than deal with Facebook's servers located in (?) and operated by (?) number of strangers with (?) credentials and convictions.
In the case of a p2p, decentralised system it is surely even less clear as to where your profile data (embarrasing photos, etc) will actually be stored, who will have access to that data and how can you ensure you can delete it when you want to.
You assume that the project doesn't keep each person's profile on their own machine, with only name + main photo on machines of friends.
I imagine there's a better way to take a note like that on the Kindle, like not in a book's notes, but in a separate file. If there isn't, it's probably not well enough designed to grab my attention anyway.
I've maintained for awhile now that it would be better to remove the legal/regulatory barriers that keep new upstarts from entering the ISP market.
There really aren't any legal or regulatory barriers. It's really the whole financial problem that would prevent new lines, and local regulations to exclusively lease current lines to a given company.
Running relevant ads is the only thing that makes half of the internet profitable. Why do you think Google is such a success, all those amazing products they sell constantly to everybody? How about most of the news sites?/.? I could go on and on with websites supported by ads - none of which would be possible without some data mining.
That depends on the employment contract. If it says "code produced while under the employ of.company. belongs to.company.", then it's Bob's, regardless as to whether it was written in free time or not. If it says "code produced during working hours at.company.", then it's Alice's. The phrasings I'm using may not be 100% correct, as IANAL, but the general idea is there..

In a twisted way, seeing relevant ads is an improvement of the user experience. I don't wanna see ads for online pharmacies selling Viagra, and getting relevant ads is an improvement.
People, in general, don't really see that NASA funds tend to have a gigantic unplanned ROI potential. I mean, look at all the rovers sent to Mars that outlasted their planned lifetimes, all the satellites that did the same, all the space probes that have insane lifetimes...
Actually, I would consider that a decent rate from a business perspective. You'd expect any overhead spending to be accounted for in the first portion rather than in the overage charges.
Since the general goal of Ubuntu is to reach out to the average computer user, rather than the power user or enterprise as most other distributions aim for, the question of "Why did they license a codec that most major companies are throwing support behind?" shouldn't really need to be asked.

If you expect politicians to not be hypocrites, you're delusional, and the meaning of "irony" is the least of your problems.

One thing about the sun though is that if you fill the whole planet with solar panels, you do not run out of energy. You just get 170 petawatts.
You may very well run out of oxygen due to the lack of trees, and materials to create the panels long before you get there.

"Ah shit, where did I put the saran wrap roll with the notes for 1984...."
"But it is an /optional/ feature, that they put out a press release for, put a big message on the amazon kindle forums about and are sending out an updated user's manual with. It is even a feature that defaults to off. They are telling people about it and letting them not turn it on."

History has proven that the largest polluters aren't corporations but rather the government.
When you have any numbers to say that government creates more waste than just the power industry, you might have a point.
However, since we live in a reality where those numbers don't exist....
So, you'd rather lose half (if not more) of the content on the internet than let companies like Google have the anonymized usage data?

Good thing every consumer is educated.

PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii aren't sold as "General-purpose computing devices"; the iPad and iPhone are sold as such.
Someone modded GGP "Troll"; that's what GP is talking about.

No, you didn't get it. It's going up by $22.50 per month for the (insert small percentage of customers here) that use >300GB per month of transfer.

When there's only four high-profile chess players....
Besides, if the aliens were hostile, that's a fucking dream team to have on their mothership.
