If you steal the product you sell, then you aren't a monopoly.
I guess Microsoft has nothing to fear in that case.

It's not even the original list, so I'm not sure what you are so uppity about.
That's the list from AD&D "First Edition". Perhaps you're thinking of regular D&D or something else?

All the rest are bullshit.
Except it isn't Google's business plan. Google sells advertising targeting to ad companies. Verizon is selling your data to data mining companies. Google would never sell your data because it's their core business to be the keepers of that data so they can sell targeted ads. Not that Google is altruistic, just that they are themselves the data miners so they are not going to share.
Google offers free services to compensate. Services people tend to find pretty valuable such as Android, Gmail and Search.
Verizon is going to offer "discounts for shopping, travel and dining" read: coupons (ie more advertising). Verizon is going to "anonymize" your data and sell it to anyone and everyone willing to pay.
I see the exchange of value in one business plan, and not the other.
Verizon is offering more than just the points. Your asymmetrical FIOS connection gets upgraded to symmetrical based on your download speed if you sign up. My 150/65 got upgraded to 150/150 and speedtest.net shows it is actually hitting 152/164 consistently. I'll take it, especially considering they could probably have sold the data with no compensation.
Apparently being Muslim is good enough for probable cause. So much for freedom of religion.
I'm pretty sure that the agencies in question did not tell these people they aren't free to be Muslims.
Nothing wrong with 'getting acquired' as a goal. Not everyone wants to run a big business. If I had a successful business and Google wanted it I'd sign so fast the ink would burn. Then I'd spend the rest of my life stress free.

That's a fun post! 36-core is immense! As an aside: It's been a while since we've seen any decent rise in processor Ghz. I remember IBM talking about functioning reasonably cool 10 Ghz processors (ref needed) in the early 2000s, but no one has them in the shops yet! I'm sure this was discussed in Moore's Law lectures prior to Y2K, but mention it these days and everyone scowls! So some people can (and they run cool) and some people can't, what normally happens in computing when the faster items are released?
It's a step down from the 48 core CPU Intel created in 2009. http://www.intel.com/pressroom...
Can someone explain this? Netflix runs on Linux under Wine, so why the need for hardware/driver support?
IME it runs poorly under Wine. I have had good results with an XP Pro x32 VM running under Linux x64, though. Not even too much added overhead, it seems. However, XP Pro x32 under XP Pro x32 seems to fail due to DRM. Hooray Linux!
As does pretty much everything under wine. Wine is great for a stopgap, that's about it.
There are that many comment trolls that have paid for HBO?
No, there are that many comment trolls with a bit torrent client.

Absolutely, allowing foreign nationals access to your systems is COMPLETELY safe. Moreover, they don't get angry when you take away their livelihood.
law abiding citizens in NYC dont have guns, there are a shit ton of guns in NYC however
Granted Wikipedia is not authoritative, but it looks to me like law abiding NYC citizens may own handguns or long guns.
