Companies and governments have seeded public discussion with enough chaff that they can make anyone look like an idiot if they want to, and the public's already primed to believe it.
You think? The government could tell me that water seeks its lowest level and I wouldn't believe them.
The author totally skips over the first sentence ""This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience" and then points out all of the things that a private citizen can do.
Duh.
And if Comcast doesn't pay Minneapolis, Minneapolis turns off everyone's cable, right?
Wrong? When I hear "remove the franchise", I imagine Minneapolis saying "hey Comcast, guess what, competition is now legal since you didn't pay your bill". What I don't imagine Minneapolis saying is "hey constituents, guess what, your cable is being cut because Comcast did not pay its bill", and it is not clear to me why you do imagine that.
Yep, that's what I meant.
....just how can you be bought? And how cheaply?"
Also, shouldn't Minneapolis' club being removing the franchise for the unpaid franchise fee? If I don't pay Comcast, they turn off my cable.
...was awesome til they got away from s/f-alternate realities and into tits and ass.
Apple and Microsoft control their own update process on all platforms; Google does not. It's the individual carriers who are getting in the way of Android updates.
And who entered into the contracts with carriers saying who is responsible for what? Google can't dodge some form of culpability for this.
Ford's voice recognition in the MyFord Touch sucks more than a porn star.
Tell us where they lied - the card has 4GB of memory in one bank, its logically separated out internally when used by the cards processor. But it still has 4GB of memory.
They just need to run himem.sys with the right parameters.....
Open up those unserved (or even served) areas to municipal fiber, google fiber, Comcrap, AT&T, or Bob's Bait Shop and Networking.
The Chinese is most likely doing this as a response to the US banning ZTE and Huawei telecom products in the US. The US government is accusing ZTE and Huawei of building backdoors and other security concerns into their hardware, so China wants to hit back with something equally annoying. China is basically saying that's cool, we can screw with your companies too. Especially since China is a huge market to cell phone makers that most US companies have yet to really tap into. And with a huge growing middle class, the amount of profit for products like iPhone and Android based phones is huge. China is basically holding the iPhone hostage to get better treatment of its companies outside of China.
The problem with that is the Chinese market craves iPhones and the US market couldn't care less about ZTE and Huawei products. All that'll do is piss off the Chinese with disposable incomes, "the growing middle class" and Chinese leaders will get voted out of office.
Oh wait. It's a dictatorship.
Can the US demand to security audit any Chinese product? Can we demand to see the source/firmware of, say, Huwai routers?
U.S. congressional Republicans on Friday proposed legislation that would set "net neutrality" rules for broadband providers, aiming to head off tougher regulations backed by the Obama administration.
That sentence should have read, U.S. congressional Republicans on Friday proposed legislation authored by industry lobbyists, that would set "net neutrality" rules for broadband providers, aiming to head off tougher regulations backed by the Obama administration. (additions mine).
Your additions were a given.
No offense, ninnle linux, but mklinux is pretty good. It's linux on top of the mach microkernel. (Think of it as a "fuck you" to gnu/hurd, though that's not why it exists
I see what you're trying to do here....
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
