First:A $535 Million loan guarantee is not the same as a subsidy....so.....maybe these articles need to be vetted a little better. Second: “Solyndra could not achieve full-scale operations rapidly enough to compete in the near term with the resources of larger foreign manufacturers,” - DUH!! And this will continue happening as long as the US is not China.... ....so instead....we should CREATE NEW TECHNOLOGY and license it for manufacture to other countries....welcome to International Business 101

SeaQuest DSV - the dolphin's name was Darwin.

Its true - its a great ruling and a vital first step. But basing the ruling on someone piggybacking off of another persons router doesn't solve the main issue. What could be argued is that in fact (and we know its not true) an IP address does point to a person..but happened (because of open WIFI) to point to the WRONG person. What needs to be brought up is IP address leasing...and that a particular IP could belong to countless people over a pretty short period of time...only then will we put this issue to rest.

Yeah ok - AT&T can do it and save millions of dollars (while screwing the customer)...so I guess all those other large companies in the US won't do the same thing because its "wrong" and money doesn't mean anything to them...they're not for profit right?!

Well if that's the case I;ll just take my money and invisible hand and go to another company......oh wait.....

.

....maybe my only option is not not have a phone, not have internet, not have TV....and just like never buy anything and just not do business with ANY large company that will of course change their policies to reflect the ruling? Sure...ok...you're right...its not forced...I'll just have no modern product or service that most people consider necessary to live...im better than them anyway.

Linux Mint uses a custom search to generate ad revenue. Removing the "branded" results from showing up when you're using the "awesome bar" in FF4 was a pain....but there was a pretty easy way to do it...this might work for the MediaCom problem too..... First, do a generic search on Google (or your search engine of choice): Copy the url up to the ="Your Search Terms" Second, go to about:config in FF Third, Filter for browser.search.searchenginesURL Fourth, modify the string to be the one you copied to the clipboard....now all your searchs thru the awesome bar will be routed directly to the search engine. Does this fix your issue?

No...but who owns Under Siege on Blu-Ray? Really? Really?

No. He's right. Watch a standard DVD up-converted on an HD TV...it looks really unnaturally smooth. I could barley get thru Under Siege.....just because of the "smoothness."

How is it fair to punish a company who is buying parts from a supplier who may be supplying hundreds of other companies? Is the onus on me, as a T-Shirt retailer in the US to check the license keys of each version of MS Office that my manufactures are using? Of course not. Its just cheaper and simpler for Micro$oft to sue a US company....with a deeper pockets.... Will this stop jobs from going overseas? Do you believe that?...Besides, outsourcing is not a bad thing...the US is failing because we refuse to invest more money in R&D and are helplessly clinging to our post WWII manufacturing grandeur....Western Europe isn't bombed to shit anymore...time to move on...the US, you, and Microsoft.

Yeah Wikipedia and a show on Comedy Central are definitely my two main sources of news.....but....here's the first paragraph from the Wikipedia article: In June 2010, the magazine Wired reported that the U.S. State Department and embassy personnel were concerned that Bradley Manning, a U.S. Army soldier who had been charged with the unauthorized download of classified material while he was stationed in Iraq, had leaked diplomatic cables. WikiLeaks rejected the report as inaccurate: "Allegations in Wired that we have been sent 260,000 classified U.S. embassy cables are, as far as we can tell, incorrect".[16][17] Yeah..."concern" is really the same thing as having ANY sort of evidence not to mention proof... I'm not just making an argument for the sake of argument...basing your assumptions on knee jerk logic, "OH HE LEAKED THE VIDEO SO IT MUST BE HIM THAT LEAKED THE CABLES!!" is something Fox News would (and does!) do...is that your main source of news?

How do we know the cables got leaked by Manning? All we know "for sure" is that he leaked the helicopter video...... Assuming he leaked the cables just because they were leaked in close succession with the video is not accurate. Just because we have NO EVIDENCE about who leaked the cables isn't reason to ASSUME it was him. If I were someone trying to cover my ass I would make sure it got blamed on someone else....

Have you seen this school's website? There is no way anyone could believe its a real institution....seriously.... http://www.trivalleyuniversity.org/ .....it doesn't even have a .edu address....

If you had an unlimited plan before they rolled out the metered ones -- you were grandfathered in. Even if you had unlimited on a BlackBerry and later decided to "upgrade" to an iPhone you were grandfathered in....I don't know why this is news. The loophole doesn't affect you -- there is no loophole -- just demand unlimited data from AT&T and threaten to switch if they won't give it to you for $30\month. But then again....maybe they might benefit from 10% of their iPhone users moving over to another network...on paper it may seem bad -- but in the long run it may draw new customers when the service gets "better" from less data traffic.

...so do you remember the CAPTCHA phrase from those tickets you bought last week? I didn't think so...

My rabbit growing up chewed thru a 220V upright freezer wire...got a shock..blew a fuse...and we had to replace the wire. Funny thing is, beforehand the rabbit was always very nice, calm, and friendly...post electric shock however...if you turned your back on the rabbit for even a second it would attack you and bite your feet or legs. So it begs the question, did the shock make my bunny go insane? Or was it just pissed off and blamed us for the shock?

Yeah, but think about this: Why would they pull the plug just because the lawsuit is pending? If they thought they were innocent they would continue with the project and prepare as if the jump was going to happen. They are no where near complete with all the preliminary jumps and the actual jump could take place...so why stop gathering data now? I would understand if the "main event" was supposed to take place tomorrow...but thats not the case....it seems to me they may be pulling the plug in preparation for a guilty verdict.
