That's not really a rebuttal, Fascism was here for most of the last decade. Xenophobia, ultra nationalism, tribalism, fear mongering, urging voters to vote down their own interests, corporatism, that's definitely a legitimate basis for asserting fascism. It's also very similar to the Republican party over the last decade.
There's a reason for that Bush was doing things which the country at large really wouldn't have approved had they really understood what was going on. In this case it's hard to say without information exactly what the problem was. But considering how the Republican party was tripping over itself to rubber stamp pretty much whatever damned foolish thing Bush wanted to do, there's good reason for the change. Obama for all his faults isn't a dictator nor does he handle the Presidency in any way analogous to one.

Um, they didn't give the TCP/IP stack away, they borrowed it from BSD. In other words, they gave away something that they had been given and which other people could've easily gotten from the original source. I'm not really sure why MS should get any sort of credit for that.
Read the ToS more carefully, Steam calls it a purchase, but treats it much more like a license. People can and do lose entire accounts worth of games when somebody hacks in. And even if you get the games back, if the person got you banned then they won't undo it.
Lower prices would help, but that doesn't explain why the subscribers that get free access weren't going in their either. It's easy to say the price is too high, but when the people that have free access aren't using it either, you have to think that it's something else that's going on.
Inalienable, I do not think it means what you think it means. If it were really an inalienable right, the GP wouldn't be allowed to go away and ignore it. As it stands now, no there is no inalienable right to market at him or me.
You don't think that 4chan would be able to spoof a local IP address and then bury the whole site in 15 feet of troll shit? Seriously, I think you underestimate their abilities.
People often times end up being modded -1 I disagree. Some of the most insightful comments around here end up categorized as funny, flamebait or troll. Mostly because a lot of the people with mod points are mindless morons that seem more interested in suppressing speech than encouraging it. Not sure whether I'll get modded Troll, Flamebait, Insightful or Interesting, the suspense is almost palpable.
Half life was going that direction, but seemed to get mired in the mud. It's not as bad when it's more like a series of smaller sequels then when it's horse armor. In my view, if the original is fun and plays well, and the add ons increase the value enough to justify the purchase, then it's fine. The problem is when they're buggy and effect the rest of the game, like say Fallout 3. But it gets to be a real huge headache when the game is multiplayer and the items are somehow useful in the rest of the game.
I'm now in the habit of waiting to see if there's a GOTY edition coming out. Fallout 3 had all the DLC included in the GOTY, and Batman: Arkham Asylum was in 3d. Both were significantly cheaper than buying it earlier on.
Um, dude, there wouldn't be an internet were it not for US Federal funding. African health care is a non sequitor, it hasn't got anything to do with the technology funds, nor does it in any way demonstrate that they shouldn't be funding it.
That's in some respects similar to what Google does with Android. While they don't allow you to choose, they did set up the virtual machine to tell you what the app was able to do so that you could get a quick yea or nay on it. And not auto updating if the capabilities changed.
As a whole yes, but there's a great deal of variety. Here in Seattle we're the only major city in the nation to actually be in compliance to the Kyoto protocol and we've made great strides at reducing the water consumption. We use less water now than we did 20 years ago, even though the population has gone up significantly since then. We also lead the nation in gas mileage.
If it's written in obfuscated C, then it needs to be rewritten anyways. If you can't read it, then you can't maintain or add on to it properly. Poorly formatted code is buggy code, or at least it damn well better not be as you're not going to find the bug hiding in that crap without a lot of effort.
Probably the fact that people are really doing their own hobbyist nuclear research as in real reactors, whereas I don't think that hobbyists have done their own clones, yet.
Rarely do I get any spam in my Gmail inbox, that being said, it's tight enough that I do have to add things to my address book fairly often to make sure that it's not listed spam. But, the rate at which they mistakenly categorize something is impressively low.
Indeed, require them to disclose who they've contracted to and make them prove that the lists are clean. Fundamentally for such a simple to solve problem, it's taken a huge amount of time to actually fix. Sure you're not going to get smaller temporary stores shut, but there's an unacceptable number of spams for major retailers and brands out there.
They've had phones with bad performance which you could only install vendor approved apps on for ages? I must've been misinformed about the technical superiority of them in the mobile phone arena.

Any time that Steve changes his mind about what ought to be allowable on his devices, it makes news here. Haven't you been paying attention?

It turns out that the spot is right under an AT&T cell tower. Who'd've thunk it.

Canada is the 51st state, the UK is more like the 54th state after Australia and Germany.
