Simple, you measure the cost of your data bundle in libraries of congress, then divide by the weight of a library of congress...

IMHO anyone who wants to "blame" something that has no will of its own for the acts committed by something that does should not be included in the conversation.

Hello there, and welcome to Slashdot!

18 baht meals? Guessing that was a long time ago... I had a 30 baht khao kha moo an hour ago and I'm already hungry again...

Bingo

My gut feeling is this man decided to do a bit of publicity whoring, and the watch & boots were made deliberately to get himself picked up

Ah, roast scapegoat...

Talk about clickbait headlines... tfa says it's an $80,000,000 smuggling ring that's been busted...

This isn't some little old ladies smuggling a few iPhones in their suitcase for the price of a meal...

The USPS's primary role these days seems to be cramming my mailbox with unsolicited and unwanted advertisements, and providing landfills with a limitless supply of dead trees.

Remind me again why we're still spending $billions to keep this going?

It's been 60 years since institutional racism was (supposedly) outlawed. What made it OK again for a government entity to establish that certain races are inherently inferior to others?

Since I have a decidedly white perspective on this issue, I'd be interested to get a different take on how governments are subscribing to this notion that minorities cannot compete on an even playing field. I'm more interested in understanding why people in these demographics aren't mad as hell at what these policies insinuate.

ALSA.

Can you smell the irony, of posting this "bring back 4:3" crap on a site whose layout takes full advantage of widescreen.

And a 16:9 (or even better, 16:10) widescreen monitor in landscape mode shows TWO clean, full-sized sheets of A4 side by side (or one A3), jackass.

4:3 needs to die. Deserves to die. Is a dinosaur, aesthetically.

To claim that anything is exploit proof requires a level of arrogance and/or stupidity I hadn't thought possible outside of government.

If the verdict was 'the opposite', no. But nice try at cleverly wording the question.

Would I still feel the same way I do now if the verdict was against whichever party was guilty, regardless of whether it was Samsung or Apple - absolutely.

Non, non, non... No need to wait for 3...2...1... for French bashing, just get stuck right in there.

Wait... cue in 1, 2, 3????

Are you French?

You're forgetting the insanity in the UK, this stupidity has been going on for years, a lot longer than people realise. Take Kwik Fit (UK vehicle maintenance franchise) for example...

I was bemused as a kid, when they started all this shit. "Home taping is killing music". My arse. Yeah, I'm sure *I* killed the Bay City Rollers because I put them on a mixtape for my gf. Or mmmh, dontcha think maybe they just went out of fashion?

Now, decades later the whine is louder than ever. Sad.
