I was always under the impression it was called the iTunes App Store. Although I realize my opinion has no weight in the larger scheme of things, I'd see a problem if Amazon called it the aTunes App Store or something...but App Store in the American vocabulary does not mean iTunes App Store. My mom calls the Android Market the app store. I don't see anyone getting confused, as most people call any application distribution platform an app store.

And by the way, Google's app store is called the Android Market, which is very specific, and leaves no confusion about what it is. Amazon can open a 'market' or an 'amazon market' but they can't open an Android Market.

Windows is a generic term in certain uses. You can call the underlying x window system a 'window', and multiples of it 'windows'. You cannot call your OS Windows. That's not the same. You're comparing Apples and Oranges (pardon my pun).

While GV doesn't have a desktop client, they do have an addon for Chrome which is quite useful, it allows you to use the browser to send and receive texts.

...are you some kind of spy? Has the eagle left the nest? Director? Thank you.

Actually this is their train of thought: If someone messes with us or tries to interfere with us, then let's make it as expensive, time consuming, and difficult for them as possible, and make knowledge of our actions public as possible, to set an example.

Ran well.

Whoops, forgot to clarify: Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States.

Show me a single instance in the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, or the Declaration of Independence where the term 'democratic' in any variation is used. There isn't. However, Article IV, section 4 says that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government". Seems like this bill is simply trying to reflect the Constitution.

"the United States relies on representative democracy, but its system of government is much more complex than that. It is not a simple representative democracy, but a constitutional republic in which majority rule is tempered." - Taken from 'An Introduction to the American Legal System' written in 2006.
The United States is not a true representative democracy, Canada is. The United States is a constitutional republic in every sense of the word.

Are you the Sheriff of Rottingham? This isn't Robin Hood: Men in Tights, but that was a flawless impression.

This only really applies when you have something to compare it with. Besides, this technique just forensic document examination, which is older than computers are, how is this news?

This isn't the Sopranos. You might want to finish your post and not just cut off mid sen

Name a flag that isn't a graphical representation of something. A flag is nothing without meaning.

Slashdot poster arrested for misleading articles

"One douchebag in the UK has been sentenced for up to five years in jail for creating and operating bullshit, one of the world's largest English-language internet annoyances. The bullshit, which had about 8,000 misleading statements, was dubbed by the court as the 'criminal equivalent of the television show House, M.D.,' or 'Crimehouse.'"

House is a popular show, so anything not really related to it should be stretched to try to apply it to the article, right? No one cares about criminal forums. But Facebook? That gets page hits.
