This article isn't talking about the types of of roads that are used to support commerce and industry. These are rural roads in BFE that are rarely used by anyone other than local residents. And these gravel roads are in better condition that the pothole-filled "paved" roads anyway. All the major roads that support commerce and industry will still be paved.
Would you expect anything different from Sony? This is the company that responded to to questions about PS3 prices at their announcement by saying users should pay more for the experience. Don't figure out what customers want, just assume that you deserve the money because you're Sony...
Here's an article I found a while back that helps explain the differences between QoS and net neutrality: Link
Essentially, giving priority to services that need instant data transfer to be effective, like VOIP, is a good thing. That's QoS. Giving priority to packets based on who is sending/receiving is a bad thing, which is the point of net neutrality.
Funny thing is, I have met people who are very allergic to most vaccines, and my wife knows a woman who lost one or two of her siblings (he was a healthy kid) because of a fatal reaction to one.
No one is saying vaccines are without side effects. It's just that they are rare, and their effects on society are minuscule compared to the effects of the diseases if large numbers of people fail to vaccinate. Also, just because the first visible symptoms of autism frequently show up just after the MMR vaccine does not mean the MMR vaccine caused autism.
I think the 360 boost is more due to Christmas than any help from the Wii or PS3. I think the accelerating rate of sales in November and December followed by an instant return to the previous rate of sales right around December 25 gives that away.
Well, it's not, for the users at least. But if you are Microsoft, and your goal is to eliminate all software that competes with Microsoft software, it's a lot easier to force users to use your software than than to give them a choice and have to actually be better than the competitors.
Remind me to sue my neighbours for their house being #41a. People are always knocking on my door (#41) instead, wasting my time and causing a loss of earnings.
After all, it's clearly their fault that people are idiots.
Here's an even crazier notion: Maybe, if he wanted to interact with content on the Internet, he'd be playing friggin' EVE Online? Maybe -- and this is a stretch, stay with me on this one -- he just wants to consult an encyclopedia and get some geo-political information without the risk that it has somehow been altered by a twelve year-old on a dare made in the back of a school bus?
If he just wanted to get information, how did he know it was libelous? If he doesn't want to fix problems he knows about but still gets upset about the errors, maybe he should find a better reference for information about the Luxembourgish language instead of one that relies on its users to correct errors.
Not only can you do so manually (by having the iPod only sync with certain playlists), but you can do so automatically, by constructing queries (with a few clicks) that create what Apple calls 'smart playlists'.
But when I want to do it manually, I want to be able to drag and drop like I can on Winamp. I have my songs named right consistently, I know where to find them, I know what ones I want on the player, let me handle it. Creating a library and queries and playlists are just hoops I have to go through to get the songs I want on the player. But this is the only option with iTunes.
Seeing as how there is no physical packaging, nor physical inventory that might suffer breakage, one wonders how Sony will defend against these charges.

What is the voter supposed to do, vote for the other guy that will also vote for this legislation?

Why can't they just offer POP service to those who want it?
Because then you could use non-Microsoft products to access your mail.
They just like to threaten to use them offensively./ 1346218

They don't have $600 million.
Please please please don't get the new iPod for Christmas gifts! Look at what we are going to have ready really really soon, really!

The problem is that you are assuming Microsoft has any interest in actually making Windows interoperable with any other operating system...
Blame it on piracy?
