I find the queen and her arbitrary, controlling bitchy ways to be quite offensive. It's probably that smarmy, shit-eating "sit on my face" look that she's always got on.

Can I file suit against Her Ugliness or all those nasty spawn of hers?

Well THAT is fucking offensive, the way you said "codifying" it sounded like "codpiece". Elizabeth II wants to bash your codpiece with her size 6 tasseled slipper for giving non-verbal offence.

So true. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out why this abortion called "Inbox" is being touted as for power users. Seems more like it's aimed more at ADHD kids on meth.

If I had an ipoophone I would totally take 'em up on it. It would be a neat feeling to be the only person in a country with a Blackberry passport, whatever that is.

The lucky sod with the 0.5 VISA card is probably immune to this scam.

Pigs at the trough, the whole lot of 'em. Who gives a fuck whether they're eating from the left or right side it's all the same.

No customer wants to punch in a PIN but we do it anyway. Using a credit card vs debit card is no different. So there's Apple with a niche system that only works with a few iPhones, vs these CurrentC bozos with a convoluted scheme that should work with many devices yet requires jumping through hoops.

A handful of iPhone users vs an enormous base of merchants. I predict nobody wins this one.

Just torrent it FFS, come on people. Then start an exit node on your network.

Pro tip for DARPA: use perl, hand out the source. Same end result but probably a few reverser suicides along the way.

But to release a high end phone with this obvious engineering deficiency is like a smack in the face to loyal Apple consumers.

Loyal apple customers needed a smack in the face anyway.

With a lighter gov't and no IRS maybe the thumb on the scale wouldn't be necessary. Then if you eliminate the graft and pork from fighting scores of bogus wars, including the phony "war" on drugs, it's a huge net economic win that could put America back in the black.

Newsflash: it's not sustainable to employ the entire country in federal government. Didn't you guys learn anything from Greece?

You're right amigo. Gotta prop up that industrial-military complex or everything falls apart like Detroit. Can you imagine the utter FAIL if the USA became more peaceful like Canada or productive like China but hopefully without all the forced labor and communism...

I hope you're being sarcastic about simplification. Obviously the IRS is too quick, responsive and slim for its own good or there wouldn't be this problem. Fighting identity theft, as we've learned from TFA, requires a bloated bureaucratic behemoth barely capable of sustaining its own weight, sort of the lovechild of an aging tug-of-warrior with a flaccid former sumo star. More weight to throw behind this fight against fraud wouldn't hurt.

Well, it's for a good cause... TFS did mention DDOS against the entertainment industry. Good news is news worth reading.

People aren't much concerned about the natural pesticides which we've evolved to tolerate/enjoy over millions of years - it's the ignorant approach of engineering food to produce glyphosate-dependent staple foods or force crops to produce toxins and then letting it loose on the world. You can't prevent cross-pollination with natural crops. 20-50 years later when we find out it's toxic after all, who pays that bill?
