Really small. I'll bet the number of floating cell towers in the middle of the South China sea is an integer that approaches zero.

You can't make a triangle out of a single point.

Back to Intro Geometry with you!

It's Obama's fault.

Sounds cool as long as it's not a HOA that runs with deed. The community pool where I grew up was like that and it worked fine. If you were in the community you had the right but not the obligation to purchase a membership.

In that case, the store could decide to file a criminal complaint against the child.

The store doesn't have standing to file a criminal complaint against the child, it was not their card. Quite plainly they failed in their duty to ensure that the person using the card was the authorized cardholder. The contract with the credit card company is quite clear that it is the store that is liable in this case.

Nope, people *think* they only authorized one payment, because they don't know how the system works. What they actually are authorizing is a 30 minute windows of purchases.

I'd be very surprised if their agreement with the credit card companies allowed open ended authorizations like this. Certainly the consumer laws in many countries do not, which would leave the credit card companies holding the ball, something they try very hard to avoid in their agreements.

Also google gives you the option of getting the app off the play website and downloading it.

I think you mean the option to make the purchase on the website and push the app to your phone. But are you sure that makes any difference to the 30 minute window?

But the experienced pilots did not make even one distress call or issue a single distress code. Why not? What prevented them from doing it?

Gun?

Not where i live there isn't. ( for any of those groups )

Paying an unenforceable tax would be quite foolish, IMHO :)

Or at least not very pragmatic.

You can't trust the encryption they're offering you for money, either. You're going to have to handle encryption on your end.

When workers become commodities, we call that slavery.

Once you can replace an 18 wheeler's diesel engine with an electric drive system, then you've changed the world and made a real impact on emissions.

Why bother? Just run the diesel engine you already have on biodiesel.

Besides, there are far more effective ways for the president to "Lead" us into a greener future. (Maybe cutting back on those vacations that are half a planet worth of jet fuel away for one.)

More like "vacations that are a full plane load worth of secret service agents and other assorted aides away" -- if the Prez flew commercial it wouldn't be such a big deal.

Obviously, they're trying to hide the fact they're looking for specific PROFITABLE POSTERS instead of regular people that really contribute to the conversation.

So don't bother with the site. You're getting sold out harder than /. is selling your asses.

With /., you're just whores. With SoylentNews, you're just getting pimped out and not getting paid, or anything in return.

You're better off whoring yourself out to /.

C'mon Mattie_P, try to prove me wrong. Your own actions prove otherwise.
