This weekend I got one of those false alerts from a fake anti-virus program. I'm guessing I got it from one of these ads. I've never run an adblocker before, but I will now if ads going to start infecting me with stuff.
Most people aren't downloading huge amount at a time. They're checking facebook, twitter, and browsing the web. Even if they were streaming video, it'll still take a lot to reach 5 Gigabytes.
Smartphones have been available for at least 10 years now. If AT&T and other carriers had started investing in their data networks then, they wouldn't be having this problem now.
Because at some point you have to pick a product and go with it if you want to get work done. Sure you can reevaluate every so often, but you can't spend all your time constantly upgrading to the latest thing. People are given a tool, they learn it and get work done.
What's the point of DRM for streaming content on a portable device anyway? The DRM is just going to eat up more cellular bandwidth and require more cpu on the device. The device isn't going to have enough space to store the whole movie. The fact that it's streaming (and will therefore only have a small portion of the movie in memory at any one time) should negate the need for DRM. It's just crazy
BSG was a soap opera -- just with people wearing space costumes. When B5 was over I felt that I had watched the characters grow over the last five years. BSG gave me characters that I couldn't care for.

Fools! Don't you realize that is EXACTLY what the monkeys have been waiting for?! Now there's nothing to stand in there way!
I remember when CompuServe charged $12/hour.
Then GEnie came along and charged $18/hour during business hours and $6/hour at night.
Compared to somewhere like North Korea, the US looks pretty good.
Here's a summary of the press conference, in case you missed it.
"We owe it to the people who entrusted us with the documents"
So they're concerned about the people who leaked the documents, but not about the people who could be killed because of them?

"GNU free software archive" and "access restricted project material"
huh?
...Twitter's still up
It may not have been the first, but it had tabs long before Firefox for IE.
Let's just fork all the GNU tools and rename them to something else (like "Linux utils") and then we can call the distros "Linux".
I thought RMS's primary goal was to ensure that everyone called it GNU/Linux :-)
Do they have to be alive? When I was 8, I liked Thomas Edison and Michael Faraday.
Antimatter is now for sell on eBay...

Upon hearing that, George Lucas had a heart attack.

The project gets canceled when Microsoft sues over Halo look and feel.

Why would anyone want Peoplesoft?
We could do that. Or, you know, spend the money explaining to people how to not get the STDs in the first place.
I like "Y'all" better.
I actually found the Jaguar controller to be pretty comfortable.
