Today is also St. Patrick's Day... according to some. Also tomorrow (3/15), also Monday if you don't observe Lent. Fuck it, every day should be St. Patrick's Day.
Seriously - how do they expect to fight a war on 10 different fronts? I really hope these companies don't settle and carry this on for 3-5 years in courts until they go bankrupt.
I wish this chart went back further to really accentuate how much has changed over the past 15 years. The point being... Slowly but surely the world economy is getting more evenly distributed around the globe.
Um, you're flat out wrong.
First of all, the stats do go back 26 years, and if anything, it shows the Russian economy has shrunk almost by 1/2 in the last 26 years (4.68% in 1980, 2.69% in 2006, decrease of 42.5%), while the U.S. economy has stayed about the same (21.40% in 1980, 20.57% in 2006, decrease of less than 4%) in terms of percentage of world economy.

Having said all that, I do agree pricing is the big hurdle.
Think of all the data they could collect but owning the platform, they could mine where your contacts live how often you talk to each of them, all sorts of usagine information not relating to the phone depending on the feature set. This seems like a data miner's mother lode.
Nifong did no wrong, he got railroaded by a well-connected kid.
It's obvious you didn't follow the case at all. Whether the kid(s) were well-connected is irrelevant, and you're oblivious to the fact that:
1) Nifong ignored early signs that there was no case (lack of DNA, "victim"'s story not checking out, alibis from the "assailants", the list goes on)
2) Nifong race-baited to win an election with this case (Durham is roughly 50/50 black/white), despite the aforementioned warning signs
3) Nifong made ridiculous claims throughout the whole ordeal (e.g. "why do [lax guys] need lawyers if they're innocent?") to make it seem like the defendants were guilty - that's not the job of the prosecutor
The Lacrosse players were far from perfect - but that doesn't mean Nifong is getting railroaded. Also, for once these people (Nifong and some members of Durham PD) are going to get something they deserve - terminated dishonorably and possibly losing their pension. Nifong played god with other people's lives to benefit himself, and now he's getting "railroaded" for his own fuck-ups.
Yes of course, affluent people who were wronged by the justice system asking for justice is bad. Only poor people who go through injustice deserve justice and retribution. Oh wait, some of these Lax guys WERE from working class families, but it's ok to group them all together because they're all (except 1) white, is that it? Are you Victoria Peterson by any chance?
Whether one group is being ostracized more has nothing to do with my argument - not to mention the idea that we need to extend some level of protection for black people is ridiculous.
You and I agree that "oriental" is not nearly as offensive (or at all) compared to "nigger", but I never compared the two words in the first place. I pointed out your false logic in that if a word originally meant something non-offensive, claiming this as offensive is "inane". Then I gave you another example following your logic. I don't see how this is "grandstanding", but you can see it however you want.
One last thing, now I'm nit-picking here, but this is what you said:
As the literate among you know, the term means nothing but "Eastern."
The Veyron is the so-called "most expensive production car", so 3.1 seconds would be considered very good. All speed numbers from Wikipedia. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject -- so you know you are getting the best possible information.

How about this 33-year old who won a silver? Yeah, it doesn't happen often, but no less often than the 40 year old female swimmer you mention.

Ironic? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...
um... if anything that would be whiter than #FFFFFF. maybe you meant #-1-1-1-1-1-1
