In the US, the copyright lawsuits are greatly diminished. Downloaders are in less legal jeopardy, but with the trade-off of receiving the "internet death penalty" from their ISPs.
But that doesn't make any sense, either. Even if the flight just happened to dogtail when he sent the alleged "CLB" command, what did he send that command to? It's well known that the avionics only has one-way communications with the IFE system.
It's as if he plugged his laptop into the box under the seat, opened Xterm, typed "CLB" and expected something to happen.
I share your sentiments entirely, but the problem with "free" email services is that even if you don't use it, everyone else does. Most of your emails are being read on the recipients' end regardless of how you get your own mail.
Actually, the launch you're referring to was after the destruction of the Chinese weather satellite, and nearly all of the debris from the launch de-orbited soon after. Get your facts straight.
Every playthrough I've done on Mass Effect 1 and 2 was with a female character. Why? Two reasons: for one thing, Jennifer Hale is a fantastic voice actress, and her work on ME 1 & 2 was truly great. (The male voice actor, not so much - his performance seemed flat by comparison.) Second, I figured if I'm going to have to look at an ass for 50+ hours, it might as well be a nice one.
They're willing to do things you're not willing to do.
Like violate this country's immigration laws, for example. Otherwise, I'll do whatever they're doing, for the right price. They're just willing to work more cheaply than I. And the net effect of that is to import poverty and widen the income gap in this country. Does it give you a warm fuzzy feeling to know you're on the same side as ConAgra and Wal-Mart?
No, actually, you aren't saddened. You're delighted that he calls them "some mistakes," because it gives you yet another springboard from which to launch your smug, tired assault on the US government. "Look at me," you shout to the grown-ups while twirling about at their cocktail party, "I'm politically aware, I'm morally superior!" You carve out your obnoxious little social niche by dutifully informing the rest of us how evil we are, how "blind" we are, what hypocrites we are.
You know what? We already know. We're all blind, we're all evil, we're all hypocrites. Including you. The world is not a comic book. It is a big messy mural in progress, with scenes of horrifying savagery and outstanding beauty. Those of us without personality issues to nurse choose to roll up our sleeves and improve the world one brushstroke at a time, rather than sit back in a battered beanbag of self-satisfaction and fling feces at the easiest targets.
One bit of wisdom I've learned over the years: never, ever, ever go 50-50 on a venture. Make it 50.1% - 49.9%. You are better off with 49.9% of a company than with exactly 50% (assuming one other partner).
I avoid reading Pravda, mainly because I prefer to get my alien sightings and ultranationalist tripe from the colorful pages of Captain America. And it's far better written, too.
Without addressing your point directly, I will point out that there used to be hardware architectures specifically optimized for functional programming - Lisp machines, basically. They were mostly used in academia and military simulations, and they gave a very impressive improvement over traditional computers when doing FP. So programming style and hardware aren't independent concerns, regardless of Turing completeness.
Couldn't agree more. The speech may have been anointed by the MSM as a landmark of American rhetoric, but it was at its core a pretty transparent attempt at damage control. And regardless, Obama himself has since negated its message - disowning both Wright and what he calls "the black church" - thus rendering the speech meaningless.
The Founding Fathers pretty much got it right a couple hundred years ago.
They did well, but not perfectly, and not well enough for progressives like me to simply do nothing. I suppose you could call Abraham Lincoln a progressive.
Just a side note here, I think McCain thinks independently and acts on his convictions... which is what scares me about him. If he gets elected, I hope to God he's a spineless waffler with no core, but I sincerely doubt it.
While you're bashing her, let me point out to you that Hillary's health care plan was considerably more progressive and comprehensive than Obama's. And Hillary voted against the FISA bill.

A country-wide interconnected Internet of things is exactly what hostile cyber warriors dream of.

"In the darkness bind them," indeed.

Invading Russia has, historically, not worked out too well for the invaders.

I'm sure OnLive will be every bit as successful as WebTV was. And for the same reasons, too.
Why would being Mormon affect your opinion about a carbon tax?

Because that would complicate his otherwise colorful analogy, thus ruining the intro for his article.
Great idea, I'll file the patent today.
Just look at (what is left) of the Constitution.
Obama will save us! Hope and change!
I hate myself, hate myself, for laughing at that.

Did you have breakfast this morning?
Yes, because any criticism of a union equates to an endorsement of a regressive workers-be-damned plutocracy.
