Including Columbia Pictures/Music? What about all the other consumer hardware, like blu-ray players, receivers, cameras, etc.? Sony is huge.

The court did not say she was wrong, it said she went to the wrong courthouse.

That would suggest AT&T is matching the service and price. But AT&T is charging $29/month more, so it's hardly matching or even offering a competitive product.

And how much is snooping on all your activity actually worth? Is it $30 or less, or is it $70 or more? If the latter, and AT&T wants people to use their lines instead of google's, perhaps they should be offering it for free.

Legislation is a powerful tool, but there are limits on what it can do. Especially if the goals are so nebulous! What kind of legislation are we talking about? What exactly does the author want to legislate?

Is it detachable? Which part makes apologies?

The FBI "lost" their privacy assessment? No. I don't buy it.

No, I had an economics professor who made the same point - that $2 ticket buys you a week of happy fantasies. It only becomes wasteful (or fiscally dangerous) if you buy several tickets, or worse, scratch-offs. Those are dangerously addictive, and the "fun" is over in minutes as opposed to days.

Well, a good realtor will easily get you 10% more for your house, and as a rule, after five years you will at least break even. Ten years ago you would have been right, but the market has returned to its normal state, so it is hard to actually lose money after five years now.

but I'm not sure it's a morally/ethically/socially good model.

It's called ladiesofisis.xxx, and it features amature sex-tapes submitted by ISIS members. But since they consider 9 a decent age at which to marry a girl off, I guess I'm going to have to close up shop.

Apparently the CDC only has data from 11 States, and Mississippi isn't one of them. Other groups have more data available, but so far the best compilation I've found is at some anti-vax site - http://vaxtruth.org/2012/04/wh... Their chart has Mississippi ranked 44th for autism rates, West Virginia is 39th.

And yeah, that does make the autism argument look real dumb. Especially when you look at the top 3 States for autism - Minnesota, Maine and Oregon; which interestingly enough also have some of the highest rates of non-vaccination.

My schooling predates these absurd zero-tolerance policies, which is good seeing as how I told my art class that I was Jesus and sending them to hell. Unfortunately, this backfired on me and I had to give a second oral report.

Yeah, Comcast.

The US government has no claim over this money unless the companies bring it in (repatriation). Won't other nations take offence at the idea of the US government taking billions out of their banks?

And since the massive tax hit is the reason why they are keeping those funds overseas, what's to stop them from moving their corporate headquarters overseas to continue avoiding it?

Wouldn't it be easier to use YouTube videos to train robot cats?
