Starting with a false premise does not help your argument. I think most people on slashdot CAN afford one if they wanted it. The low adoption rate is showing that there is currently no real utility to the device beyond what you can get with a smart phone, albeit with a lot more flash. Therefor, it is assumed that it is no more than the current Rolex watch or Coach bag.

It's way past the time for that. The US Constitution is a thing of the past, and cannot be fixed. Only a complete rewrite will solve anything, and that will only happen with a violent overthrow of the current rulers. I just love how Americans are so insistent that that could never happen. As if we are exempt from history and the events in the rest of the world. No, we are only sleeping, and I'm waiting for the spark that will wake us up as a nation.

He didn't say Republicans, he said Conservatives. Since both parties are Conservative at the moment, then this is pretty much universal to the country as a whole.

Will Neil fare any better than Alan Moore when it comes to Hollywood? I doubt it. No matter what the screen play looks like when it is green lighted, the finished product will the same crap formula, with the ending reworked three times after subpar audience screenings.

So Apache is now is equal to the entire tech industry? Nice title there.

The common lie is to tell people that they would be paying for health care for illegal aliens. America is so full of hatred and anger, that they would rather have their entire family die of cancer than think that one cent went to giving aspirin to an illegal. It's really a sad sick state that this country is in right now, completely controlled by corporate greed.

A friend of mine got a similar notice in Oakland last year. Shut down or be evicted. It's a shame. She provided a better place to stay than any reasonably priced hotel.

If you consider fiction an amazing interview, then yeah. With a book and movie on the way, why would anyone expect otherwise.

Sigh. Please don't use expressions that you don't understand. False Flag: designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities.

You haven't been in the business long have you. Ever heard of embrace and extend?

This kind of flame bait would preclude me from modding a post insightful for informative, even if the rest of the post is fine. Just saying.

I always thought that # was pronounced "rap." Now I see that it should be pronounced "uck."

Of course the tools were not up to par. Of course there are PAs everywhere. Of course there are cameras in your face wherever you go. Of course they misrepresent what you say for dramatic tension. Of course they try to designate one the "bad boy" and try to get people yelling at each other. How did they expect this to be otherwise? Did they expect an average day at the office? These were supposed to be intelligent people, and yet they willingly walked into a lion's den for what, money? The story isn't how badly developers were treated, it's that they were dumb enough to go on the show in the first place.

Are corporate funds being used? Are corporate resources? If not, then boycotting the corporation is pointless. Now I have no problem throwing eggs at the guy's house. Oh wait, that's considered terrorism these days. I guess we have to embarrass him on twitter or something.

Actually, the white conservative males complaining about whining gays are much more annoying. As are the white conservative males complaining about the feminist conspiracy, black history month, universal health care, etc. Need I go on? I'm not complaining mind you, just pointing it out.
