This is not crowdsourcing. I see the point of crowdsourcing as raising money for a shared goal or interest. Most crowdsourced projects have a reward or return for the investor. But with this? What does any contributor get back or what's the shared vision? It is just outright begging. It's embarrasing.
Hm. According to this, it IS a DCMA notice from DtecNet (for LionsGate) to Google. It's nominally for the movie "The Last Stand" but in there, they sneak in a link for TPB:AFK documentary. Care to elaborate where you get your info from?

Do you really believe that Microsoft did this for their users? That it benefits any user is tangential to Microsoft's goals. It's more of a "fuck you" to Google. And for that, they should be taken to task.

Wait, are we talking about cube-farm offices here?
If you can define "short" as ~ 15 min, then I usually just take a nap. A 15 min nap and I wake up surprisingly energized and recharged. Of course, I work by myself so can do this without worrying about what coworkers are thinking about me, but if you have your own office, close the door and set the alarm and you're good to go.
To be clear, that chart lists "Entertainment and Devices" division, of which Xbox is but one product, the others being Windows Phone, Surface, all MS Hardware, and other things. So it's not quite as easy as saying "xbox is losing money for MS" unless you can actually break that out of the rest of the division.
^ what he said. Plus, I'd suggest finding a group to workout with because this will keep you motivated if you know someone's expecting you.
For quick workouts at work, I've written a script that will pick a bodyweight-only workout and a random number of reps. My deal is that if I want to browse/., I have to do one of these exercises first. You can select a number of workouts that work best for your situation from here.
No, the "value" was the fact that they got it free or for less than $100 not anything else.
Considering that you can now get an iPhone 4 for free and the 4S for $99, then by your specious argument would have that those phones would vastly outsell those "cheap" Android phones because they're better, right? The fact that they don't must mean SOMETHING...
How do you "out" somebody who's posting to what is essentially a public forum. Granted, I don't use twitter, but aren't (god help me for saying this) "tweets" public?
On an interesting note, I just pulled up the tumbler page and now it's 404, after just having looked at it 5 minutes ago.
Because no one wants to be "that guy" that killed the TSA in case another terrorist takes down an airplane. Simple CYA thinking. Until we, as a nation, make it clear that the TSA is unacceptable, things will just carry on. And from my last visit to the airport, the people seem to be accepting it just fine.
However, the NYTimes exit polling gives a more nuanced version of this. For those with college degrees, a majority voted for Romney. For those with Post Grad degrees, Obama was the overwhelming choice.
The issue that is under review is whether or not Hogan failed to fully disclose all the lawsuits he's been involved in. From TFA:
During voir dire, Hogan did disclose that he had been involved in litigation with a former partner when the judge asked him if he had ever been involved in litigation.
Hogan has noted, in response to Samsung's allegations, that the judge didn't ask for a complete listing of all the lawsuits he had been involved with.
Emphasis mine.
I dug around for the transcript of the jury questioning and found it at Groklaw (PDF alert)
THE NEXT QUESTION IS, HAVE YOU OR A
FAMILY MEMBER OR SOMEONE VERY CLOSE TO YOU EVER
BEEN INVOLVED IN A LAWSUIT, EITHER AS A PLAINTIFF,
A DEFENDANT, OR AS A WITNESS?
Mr. Hogan went on the detail that he was involved in a lawsuit involving a former employee and ownership of code. He stopped there. So it seems to me that it's disingenuous at best to claim that the judge didn't request a full list.
Whether or not this is enough to overturn (or throw out) the verdict is unclear to me as IANAL.
True, but we should consider it punishment for electing the people that allowed this travesty to happen. Maybe this will be the incentive to choose more wisely come the next election.

I doubt that something like this will be designed by just one person. Mistakes happen, even to rocket scientists. To wit

Wisdom would dictate not getting drunk in the first place.
I've seen this movie. I think in the end, they just end up with a house full of popcorn.

Or, you can be bluntly honest.

When ASCII art isn't enough, there's always the Rasterbator. Feel free to click on it. It's completely SFW.

There, I think that edit would make the lobbying more effective.

I gotta say, this made my inner child smile with delight. None of it makes any sense or is very practical, but dang, that's just cool.
DO WANT!

It's a good point, but gouging your customers is probably also not a good business move.
This made me smile for so many reasons.
I actually misread the headline as "... for photo of burning puppy..." and I was duly outraged and saddened.
And then I read TFA and was made even sadder...

To paraphrase a Fox News anchor:
Are these the facts that you cite as a Republican to make yourself feel better or is this real?

Really? I guess your searching skills might need a little help.
After doing this search, I even purchased a set to see what all the hoopla was about.
