If you can't get ALL YOUR money when YOU want, then your account is effectively frozen, asshat. Same deal as a bank run, when they don't allow you to get all YOUR money.
You're a douchebag...

"After the Target breach, a few banks took the unprecedented step of limiting how much customers could spend at stores or withdraw from ATMs using their debit cards. No such restrictions were put on credit card customers."
That depends. How understanding will your landlord or your bank be when your rent or mortgage check bounces because the day it was deposited somebody ran up charges on your debit card that emptied your bank account? Sure you'll be able to dispute the charge, but that didn't stop the checks from bouncing between the time it happened and the time you got to the bank to fill out the paperwork on the fraudulent charge. Same if you're at the end of a trip and go to pay your hotel bill and your credit card's over limit because of fraudulent charges. Sure you'll be able to dispute them, but that doesn't make the hotel bill magically paid.
Not only that, if you have a debit card and you are disputing charges, the banks will put a freeze on your account while the dispute is being investigated.
It's the investors (who can afford to lose a few million) who are pushing to hold out. Their risk is "low" compared to the potential upside in this decision. To them holding out is good.
For the founders, it's an idiotic move. But they probably don't control this decision at this point.
NSA to Dianne: "But it's about keeping America safe!"
Interesting that the canard she tries to use on us isn't good enough when it's applied to her. Oh, you don't like being in the dark? Well neither do we, bitch!
That's small comfort to the 100k DEAD and their friends/family, idiot. Very convenient rationalizing 100k dead based on an "if". Oops! bureaucratic mistake, no harm no foul! How asshats like you can be so cavalier about human life is beyond me.
GF implied that intervention was called for based on 100k dead.
Anyway, so we are outraged at 4000 killed by CW and that's the red line? The first 100k dead didn't matter? It makes the current case for intervention even more absurd.
Everyone in America (except those in Guantanamo) can ultimately have their day in court when accused by the Government. The dirty little secret is that the Government can utterly destroy you without doing so.
Interesting yarn you spun. But it is totally contradicted by the disparity of wealth that is growing around the world. If anything, the rule of law is being usurped by the powerful and rich. That is why democracies fail...because votes are so easily controlled until laws and government no longer protect the majority of the people.
I really cannot comment on Linux (I have heard of MythTV), but a Mac Mini platform running OSX and EyeTV suck for a variety of reasons. The most problematic is a known issue that OSX cannot handle being plugged into the AV receiver via HDMI in an "always-on" scenario (check avsforum.com in the mac htpc section)
Now install Windows (version of your choice) on that Mac Mini and install/run Windows Media Center and everything works perfectly. The UI is great. The setup is great. Then you can install the following programs side-by-side with WMC to complete an awesome HTPC experience.
Hulu
XBMC
VLC
SABnzbd - to download NZB files
CouchPotato - to manage movie NZB files and feed them to SABnzbd
NZBDrone - to manage TV series NZB files and feed them to SABnzbd (NZBDrone is a windows only counterpart to SickBeard)
And, while not unique to Windows, it's nice to know that the browser experience on Windows does support (as one would expect):
Because food labelling should be appropriate and helpful. To the end consumer, there is no benefit to knowing whether the food was GMO or not
Sure there is. A consumer may not want to support a particular supply chain, in this case one that starts with Monsanto seeds. In the same way that a consumer may not want to support an item not made in the U.S.A. Or clothing made in factories in Bangladesh. Or paper products made from deforestation of virgin forests. A consumer has the right to understand the supply chain that produces the product that they're buying.

Why not outlaw them? If we want to reduce CO2 footprint.
as proof of their position? Cue them in 3, 2, 1...

Whoa, epic irony...
Legalization of drugs like heroin and morphine would allow the street value to plummet, thus eliminating the demand for Krokodil.

Like the 100k civilian dead in Iraq? How in the world do we have any right pontificating on Syria?

You just gave the reason why Google SHOULD offer a commercial license with indemnification. The fact that they don't is all-telling.
Fuck you!
