That's how the House and Senate currently work- they intoxicate themselves with money, so that they are sufficiently blinded to consequences. It's pretty similar to beer goggles.
Analogy:
A lobbyist and Congressman are out at a bar. The lobbyist sees a girl he wants to bang, but her ugly friend is with her. To get the good looking girl, the lobbyist buys the Congressman drinks until beer goggles are worn. After that, the lobbyist gets his way.
Beer = money
Good looking girl = SOPA (favorable to his interests / pocketbook)
Ugly girl = us getting fucked by our representatives
So, what happened? I imagine this is a precursor to some sort of "treaty" or "trade agreement" with the US (since corporations run the country) and Ireland that will establish these "missing" laws.
I think part of the problem with this guy traveling overseas is that he is a US Marine- I would think he'd be more paranoid and not travel to Iran. Those Iranians don't look fondly upon the US.
Personally, I don't worship Google, and I use Microsoft products on a daily basis. My take is this: If Google builds a service, and offers additional services which tie into this, what is wrong? Google isn't blocking Bing apps from the store and device makers can chose "default" apps on phones. This is not a monopoly... it's laziness on the device manufacturers' / users' part to not install an alternative. When I purchased a new Windows PC, I would install FireFox and set that as my default browser. I didn't complain that IE was on there, and that the MSN home page sucks. I solved my problem.
Device owners can do the same. Solve your own problems. If you care enough that Google is your default search engine, then you care enough to download another app to use in its place. If Android isn't released quick enough for you, make a fork based on the latest (publicly available) version and publish that. Solve your problem, and don't blame a company for promoting itself (does Target advertise Walmart's or KMart's prices? Then why should Google, or Microsoft, or Apple?).
The problem with your premise is one Korean device manufacturer is in a great position to abandon Google's version of Android--Samsung, which sells 55% of Android phones. With HTC and LG going down, that percentage is only going to increase. Samsung is in a position to not only threaten Google but to decide to pull an Amazon and make their own Android.
This doesn't make sense... what I infer from this statement is that Samsung is going to make its own Android (i.e. "solve its problem"), threaten Google to use their new version (like Amazon), and then... what? So is South Korea stepping in and accusing Google of a monopoly to save Google (the monopoly claim thereby stopping Samsung from rolling its own flavor of Android)?
Since Android is open, the device manufacturers / Microsoft / South Korea / Anyone Else can modify it to not use Google for search results. At that point it may not be "Android Powered by Google", but that seems to be what South Korea wants. So, let device manufacturers modify Android, change the default search provider, and not include GApps. That way, every person who purchases a new phone gets to install a market, search for packages to do what they need, and the world will be happier since the monopoly has been crushed.
Of course this will never happen... South Korea isn't breaking up a "monopoly". They see a chance to extort money from another business, and use the "monopoly" threat to do so. They do this because the device manufacturers won't abandon Google's version of Android- it's exactly what 99% of their (the device manufacturers) customers want. Pre-installed apps, GMail, Facebook, and the Google Marketplace so they can easily find the latest app their friend told them about./P.
You know, I think you've blown my mind... it sounds like the Customer/Vicitim called the Bank to sell/scam the Bank's employee. Did I read this right? Or, better yet, maybe you offer credit cards to salespeople who call you (in this case, the bank).
Well, I don't want no stupid NAT - anywhere. I can ssh to my home machine and my work machine from anywhere in the world. No NAT at work, and portforwarding at home. I'd like to ssh to every machine at home though - without paying for more addresses. I'd like to ssh into my smartphone too (so I can turn on the gps and find out where I put it.) But that isn't even offered today. IPv6 will make all of this easy. Enough addresses, nothing to pay extra for. Except the transition.
I, too, would like to ssh into your machines at home and your smartphone.
Then this could be used against the bill supporters. Maybe Congressman Smith has a family- say a brother, who owns business with an online presence. Post the link there. Maybe his child was downloading and sharing MPAA files on his wifi. What about a family member in College- encourage them to watch online films. These "leaders" are blinded because they don't think the Bill will affect them. It will, hopefully directly, and then they will (hopefully) realize their mistake. Of course, a greedy "public servant" getting fat stacks of cash from lobbyists probably won't feel guilty, but maybe their family and family's friends will ostracize them.
Well, the fine folks at Sony will talk about how evil the internet is, and how it must be "regulated". The mafias will discuss how their current tools don't stop everything, and that the DMCA is too hard to follow. It will end with someone with 5 minutes to convince bought congressmen how the Internet works. After that, the already-drafted bill will be passed since debate is a formality.
Listen, guys... of course they use proprietary memory for security. Remember when someone used an unauthorized HDD in their PlayStation last year, and took down the PSN? We don't want that again. So, to ward off the memory card threat, Sony will require you to purchase proprietary cards.
On a more serious note, Sony seems to always have considered accessing your device's hardware a security problem, and have moved to revoke the times they granted that power.
There is rape, incest, homosexuality, torture, as well as murder in the King James Bible. Perhaps they should ban it as well.
but the gays were slaughtered by fire and brimstone, the raped mothers didn't get an abortion, of course adam and eves kids had sex with each other (how else would mankind go on?), and the terrorists had to be interrogated. How is this bad?
When I signed up for a UVerse account, they provided the login details. They had my username (previously tied to DSL), no biggie. But then the technician at the house was able to pull up my password. MY password. It's stored in a reversible manner (if encrypted at all)- why the fuck? This does not surprise me that AT&T was targeted, and I'm sure they have millions of customers that believe they password is safe.
Since then, I don't trust AT&T or that account for anything important.
and it interrupted a badass song. I was pissed. And, on top of that, the quality was crap. I heard about 3 different announces speaking through static at once.
Maybe they do... and the C&C servers are just there for extra noise. The C&C may act functional, and send / receive commands which are received by targets, but those targets don't have to do anything with the commands.
While Symantec and India proclaim "We've stopped Duku" the virus may still be hard at work, collecting information.

Today the code is 6 years old, but it was new when it was stolen in 2006. It has taken 6 years for Symantec to admit to the breach.
What's next? The Zionists have a base on the dark side of the moon to shoot down probes that are successfully launched?

Who the f*** grants rights to "personality"?
Steve Jobs did. Hell, he / his company sued at least "likeness doll" maker while he was alive... that set the precedent.

It's about time. There would be no RIAA or MPAA actions if there were not large site engaged in the support of "piracy".
John Doe isn't a large site, and that was all the RIAA and MPAA were after for years.

All this means is the issue will damage their chances of re-election. it will be passed once another term is locked in.
I'm really torn on this one... On the one hand... On the other hand... On the other other hand...
How many hands do you have?
That just means they have a replacement that will do the same.
And who, exactly, gets to decide what a "normal" human being is
i do.... I'm normal, everyone else is weird.
The story was posted on Al Jazera, this is obviously a ploy to get sleeper terrorist cells to attempt to breach the plants.

Although ... but
Does using a double comparison mean there is not comparison between the two?
