Nothing changes but the label.

They'll keep doing it, they'll just stop telling you about it and find different words for it.

They'll rename it to something like "The Free Beer and Guns For Country Boys Act."

See also, CISPA, CISA, CRISPA, BISPA, CRISCO, or whatever they're calling it for this trip through Congress.

Submission + - Ask Slashdot: When we perfect age reversing, how do we decide who gets to live? 4

ourlovecanlastforeve writes: With biologists getting closer and closer to reversing the aging process in human cells, the reality of greatly extended life draws closer. This brings up a very important conundrum: You can't tell people not to reproduce and you can't kill people to preserve resources and space.

When there's a new version of iOS, I get it the day it's released.

When there's a new version of Windows, I get it the day it's released.

When there's a new version of Ubuntu, I get it the day it's released.

When there's a new version of Android, I get it when I buy a new phone.

Which OS has the problem?
