You should have read the next line of my post.

No, you do not want a technical fix to a social problem. What'll happen is people will start blaming their bad behaviour on technology. "Well it's Boeing's fault they made the cockpit's glass able to filter out green lasers and not this blue one I made from an old PS3!"

Frankly, I don't see why you think jail isn't a deterrent. Just reading this story makes me never want to even own a green laser.

You skipped over a lot of interesting responses to tell him it's a dumb question.

It's because it's all relative. We don't see $4 a gallon, we see that it's double than we had a few years ago and we have to modify our budgets accordingly. The price of gas in Sweden doesn't change that.

A local refinery lost power and shut down for a while.

Man, I even said 'kidding'.

Why is your master training you to sense butthurt?

How do we know which phones those are? We only talk about Apple!

You do know that Apple recently opened up manufacturing in Brazil, right?

We'll take care of that next week while we're getting you neutered.

I'm sorry, but it isn't. Want to deliver more data to the home? Invest in better technology. Most of that being a one-time investment, mind you. Want to deliver more water to the home? You had better have a source to get that water from. There'll never be a such thing, for example, as a data drought.

None of these companies are trying to alleviate unexpected network troubles through billing, they're trying to increase their already-generous profit margin. (Notice their use of tiered plans, instead of the reasonable suggestion you made.) It doesn't make sense with data.

I had a reading comprehension fail there, it's my bad.

You know what, I totally misread the summary. It's my bad and I apologize. Please mod my post down.

But.. but.. but... I thought by boycotting Apple I was helping the workers!!

STD's really aren't on our radar, so ... no.
