LAWYER: What of the reports of the Rebel fleet massing near Best Buy?
GATES: It is of no concern. Soon the Rebellion will be crushed and young Sony will be one of us! Your work here is finished, my friend. Go out to the command ship and await my orders.
Given the repeated insinuation that American Software Engineers are worthless in comparison to the great and glorious India Institute of Technology graduates (after all, why else have an H-1b program to make Americans unemployed and bring them here), I think that end for Google or any other software company is unaviodable at this point
Well, outsourcing your lowest-level jobs to India is one thing. Moving there and having your new board of directors babbling "durka durka durrr" all day is something entirely different.
Do this outside. Get a pane of fiberglass and belt-fed sanding machine. Turn the fiberglass pane into fiberglass powder. (Carefully) sprinkle the power around the home of [insert enemy's name here], being sure to reach each carpet, set of clothes, and piece of upholstered furniture.
With any luck, he'll have to burn down the house and salt the earth it stood on to get that itching to stop.
Every time some newfangled crap tries to anticipate and adapt to my needs, it fails miserably. See also: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel.
No thanks. Like a wise man once said -- If you're hungry, eat. If you're tired, sleep. If you have to go... you know... go. Don't expect Hal to catch these sort of things with any degree of accuracy.
That was the edge of the federation. In fact, by the end of the series Bajor refused federation membership. They had probably left their home space to seek fortune elsewhere.
That's a good point. In Star Wars books, every guy with ten bux has his own Star Destroyer. When was the last time you say any private (non-criminal) civilians in their own ship in Star Trek?
If you're able-bodied and live less than a couple of miles from the town centre, you have no excuse.
Are you kidding? Every time I get anywhere near the fricking thing, they ring the bell and I have to go inside to help shoot arrows against Huns or Teutons or whoever the fuck's attacking us this week.

I wonder why the US government doesn't ban all US based companies from dealing with China, if they want to be pro human rights for a change
Because China has more men able for military service than our entire population.

9th and 10th amendment, my friend. Do you speak it?
9th - All powers not specifically granted to the federal government in this document are reserved for the states
10th - Any right not given to the government (see above) here, or prohibited by the states, is automatically given to the people
Um, I think a sizeable portion of the population has to actually be buying your products before you can be considered a monopoly.

This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of DRM, it will soon see the end of the rebellion.
They can't possibly hope to stop it, so why try?
Newsflash: Everyone wants the rest of the world to act/think like they do. People in government have the power to (try and) force it to be so.
At church, during a quiet time, a hip-worn cell vibrating against a Wooden Pew makes a lot of noise...
Well, I mean... they already have the crosses and nails there, right? Seems like a no-brainer to me.

You can destroy the Samurai, but you cannot destroy the Samurai inside man.
//just saw The Last Samurai
Yes.
They should just take a page from the Klingon Book of Business.
Boss acting dishonorable? Rise up, slay him, and take command of the men.
We can plant the heads on stakes around our castle moat as a warning to others. Sort of a bonus!
I would've gone the "drawn and quartered" route myself
No, unfortunately. They won't.
//I'm going to get angry drunk tonight. How 'bout you guys?
We're stuck in an endless cycle of civilization -> golden age -> corruption -> dark age. Forever waging war on ourselves.
Oops!

War's hell, 'aint it?
In all seriousness, are they subtly alleging that video games cause war crimes now?
That's a good point. In Star Wars books, every guy with ten bux has his own Star Destroyer. When was the last time you say any private (non-criminal) civilians in their own ship in Star Trek?
Loan them the demo disc.
Didn't Microsoft just force an Xbox 360 upgrade that made a demo disc unplayable once the full version was for sale?
Transportation will never be allowed in the Empire. "They" will just claim that it would be another tool for terrorists.
//to be fair, though, it would. I think a whole lot of people would like to beam bush about 3 miles straight up into space

I don't want my copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 to get remote-deleted because some script kiddy forged his IP and duped a bunch of rocket launchers.
