Because precious little 12 year old Timmy could never install a hack like that. It showed up all on its own, and now he is scarred for life, boobs should never be seen until you're 18 years old.
So, because you don't like it, means we should ignore it? Great plan.
Monopolies, the "natural monopolies" can also be necessary. What if your city has a new company that also wants to do waste management. Are you going to let them dig another sewer system under your city? What if power companies didn't have to share power lines, want 4 or 5 different power poles on each corner?
Also, your BS about "last mile problems" is completely wrong. There is no way the government will let people install two, three, four different cable connections to the same house. And in most cases, the ISPs have monopolies, or near monopolies anyway.
The big problem people have with it isn't that it is a mis-print in the contract, but the fact that it is wholesale advertising fraud. If you go take out a magazine ad and say "Our refrigerators are 10$ each, all day saturday at bob's homewares." And then, when people show up, they see the full text of it (which you didn't have to include on the ad AT ALL) says that this deal is only available 5 states over, that is very illegal.
What is to stop them from offering a no-restrictions connection for a sale, and then changing terms later on everyone? Like they're doing now? With no way for people to compete (short of laying another connection to the house, and having 100+ million in startup money) there is nothing consumers can do about it.
The problem comes when people advertise that they offer 200k/sec internet, and provide 20k/sec connections. Or do things like say: "hey, if you want to download from bit torrent at more than 2k/sec, pay us more money." or "We want you to use our search engine, not google, so we're going to make your ping to google's site 100 times longer than normal. See how slow google is? Must be their fault. Use our fast service.
You do realize that the "40k" in Warhammer means it stands for 40,000 right? As in, if you're going to write out 40,000 then you can leave off the "k".
The point would be that then they'd have to "keep" the crap we send them, and would have the additional expense of storing it forever. And risking a lawsuit if they let it be stolen.
I'm actually a bit sad that the EFF won on this case. Because if it hadn't of been overturned, you could label "anything" as no-resale and send it to someone. Like, you know, that giant pile of bricks or the entire output of a nuclear reactor and mail it to the RIAA.
Because, with the policy they were trying to establish precedent for, you could do so, mark it as no-sale and no-disposal, and force them to build warehouses to store the random crap you send them.
wick the heat "where"? The area around the sun is "all" over several thousand degrees, the size of those wires would have to be measured in hundreds of miles.
Well, the point of invading Iraq was to RAISE oil prices, not lower them. Sadam was selling oil at the price the market demanded, so he could get rid of the oil and make more short term money. He was NOT following OPEC's demands that he reduce oil production to keep the prices high. This was driving worldwide oil prices down.
Before the next expansion? They're likely not going to do anything except raise the level cap and put more end-game content in, that most casual players will never see.
Bear shamans get the best fatality though. You throw your weapon to the ground, grab them by the neck, tear their head off, throw it away, and pick up your weapon again.
Also, keep in mind, a significant portion of that 7% mac marketshare, also have a computer that boots to windows, either a dual boot mac, or another windows machine. The same for linux.
It is very popular with women BECAUSE of her feminist slant. Whenever it is a man versus a woman on her show, the woman is usually the kind of person that the audience can relate to, and she always wins.
Actually, it just means that it slowly fluctuates back and forth, until the side with skill manages to entrench. The rate at which you get resources back is fastest when you've got a lot to regain, and slowest when you've already spent most of it. And there is a lot to be said for having a defensive position in that game. Defensive positions can make it very hard for them to knock you out of your position.
So it penalizes you for sucking at the game, but gives you a chance to shift focus midway through and come at them with other tactics.
Funny doesn't give mod points or karma, insightful does. It's common on slashdot to mod people insightful for funny comments so that their karma go up and allow them moderator points.
So, its a news article relating to another news article that at some point in the future you can purchase? What is with all these paid-only news stories?

I didn't know Warhammer 40 million was out.

Cause, you know, the guy didn't just stand there with his finger on one stationary point, while the camera did a slow pan to the left and right.
Also, already been done, by the guy who used cheap Wii sensor bars to do the same effect.

He is talking about the mafia (music/recording industry derogatory term) suing them for downloading music/movies.

HardWar? What? Oh, nevermind, thought they were bringing back one of the best sci-fi games ever.
I knew someone who was the epitome of a narutard. He had Gaara's tattoo, on his FOREHEAD.
www.the-underdogs.info is a good gaming site. They were on .com, but it got cyber squatted. And then .org got cyber squatted too.
I thought I was the only one who played it on easy. Good to find another person out there that also does.
