Amazon isn't forcing DRM on the publishers. They would be quite happy to let them sell ebooks without it.

That and the publishers "share" of profits is exactly zero. Anything above that is a market inefficiency.

We should be sending samples there, to try to find one that can thrive. Once we do, spread it liberally over the surface.

So that's not going to be an improvement.

Which, of course, it is not, that still leaves the entirely reasonable objection that they have the data for any reason at all. Why should they be trusted with it?

I had a pretty good idea that it would be coffee, and not an empty cup. Nor did I feel the need to download five different coffees to find one that worked.

I don't want to have to think about whether an app is worth a dollar or not, so I don't even consider purchasing them. If they're worth so little they should just round it down to free.

The proper comparison would be that if you don't like gay marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex.

There's not much you can do about Jobs, Balmer, or Cook being assholes, but we probably can force Mozilla to kick Eich to the curb.

Now, assholes don't much care about being assholes, but this will make at least some of them think of the future implications of supporting something assholish like Prop 8.

And I did not say we could. I simply said we could stop using that oil.

But I'll be choosing something else now. Fuck the bioconservatives.

I really doubt there are many people in dorms with 5 digit /. UIDs.

Again, that oil specifically isn't necessary.

Not necessarily that oil.

Shouldn't run oil by rail or pipeline. Leave it in the ground.

In that you choose which rules to follow, and which to ignore, subvert, avoid, or not even bother learning about.
