On top of that people have no sense of custom: I've had one batshit insane bitch cuss me out - she signaled to change lanes in front of me, so I quickly flashed my highs twice; this historically means "go ahead you're clear." She didn't change lanes but slowed down.
Is that in the DMV handbook? Cause I've never heard that, and I'm guessing I'm not alone, as I've never seen it either.
(many truck drivers do that to this day, but many do not any more)
Government checkpoints are authorized by the Constitution
Neither is letting you use public roads without conditions. As part of the conditions for driving your vehicle on public roads, you agree to submit to these checkpoints.
They sold Unlimited Data. If they are going to put restrictions on how I can use it, then it is no longer Unlimited, and at the very least they should NOT be able to sell it as such, and anyone who was mislead into signing up by their sales pitch saying so should be refunded 3x what they paid.
can someone tell me why the same community of OS / compiler / OSS people can't come together, fork Android, and really just say to Google "thank you but no thank you, you've done good but you can't do anymore."
Already been done with the various ROMs and the AOSP. Besides, if you were to completely fork it, there'd be a lot of work maintaining compatibility with Google Android, otherwise you wouldn't really be able to load it onto most devices.
Yeah, I'd take her. All she can do is sign bills or veto them.
And send troops into battle, and have extreme influence over business regulations due to controlling the various Cabinet offices, and having considerable influence over the legislative agenda that gets put forward.
In less than two years, the unemployment rate and nearly doubled and would by 2010.
Perhaps you forgot the collapse of the banking system? Something which can be traced back to the repeal of the Glass-Stegall Act in the late 90s/early 2000.
She wasn't characterizing Revere as a British sympathizer, but she was showing her ignorance about US history, and trying to characterize him as someone who fits in line with her ideology, when that clearly isn't the case.
Nobody's saying it's the currency's fault. Its just that such a setup as Bitcoin has is quite attractive to those who would like a little more discretion in their spending habits. Bitcoin provides that. So it's no surprise that it would be a target for money laundering and illicit sales.

Sure it is. Did you actually invent the item in question? Probably not a troll. If you bought the patent, are you actually using it in one of your products? Oh, you don't have any products? Then you're definitely a troll.

Nothing saying we can't recreate it as a web app.
Hey, just because you never bothered to look is no fault of ours.
Then if you get caught by one, bring suit and say they didn't advertise it per the guidelines that the SCOTUS set forth.

I think that shows that custom has died.
Not in town.
Got any evidence of where that happens? The only place I've seen something like that happen is when there is an actual town at the highway.

That sucks, but as a condition of you using the public roads, you agree to be subject to DUI screens.
I honestly don't see why it's OK for the contract to have different meaning from the advertisement. That reeks of false advertising to me.

No, you're just arguing semantics. In a sane world, they would be, because those two terms mean the same thing.
No, I paid for data. They said I could use X GB/month. They do NOT get to dictate how I use that allotment.
. You pay for use of the mobile Internet on your phone with a 5GB limit.
Fuck that shit. I paid for access to THE INTERNET. Not a walled off little area that Verizon/AT&T/Sprint/T-Mobile have deemed "ok".

From what I've seen, most people who have an Apple Product will forever purchase OTHER Mac products.
As opposed to those who start by buying a Windows computer, and then forever purchase OTHER Windows computers, perhaps an Xbox as well?
Then it turns out that yes, Paul Revere did warn the British that night, it's right there in his memoirs.
Except she was insinuating that was the purpose of his ride, when it clearly was not.
Yeah, I'd take her. All she can do is sign bills or veto them.

But to call Sarah Palin a "moron" over this after Obama's "57 states"* comment is a bit one sided.
Sarah Palin has said far, far more stupid things, both in magnitude and in quantity, than Obama has.
She wasn't characterizing Revere as a British sympathizer, but she was showing her ignorance about US history, and trying to characterize him as someone who fits in line with her ideology, when that clearly isn't the case.

Apple claims the opposite; that their license does cover their developers. So to them, the situations are completely different.
Most patent troll companies are. I wonder why that is...
We're not hating, we're just asking them to make this sacrifice for the greater good. They will be remembered as heroes.
