Whoever turns it on and hooks it up to a network. THAT person is responsible.

I agree whole heartedly and it seems like few people seem to get it. I can't grasp why people don't want me to know what is in my food before I eat it. I can grasp why companies like Monsanto fight labeling GMO food, but why do people agree with it? If GMO's are so safe, then why do we have to hide them?

This is no different than recording a broadcast off of the TV or radio and they are still in business.

All of you arguing with SultanCemil are pretty much idiots who don't understand what he is trying to say and definitely don't understand American culture. What he is trying to say is that like it or not the government IS going to do something about not being able to decrypt phones used in criminal acts. All it takes is one major event whether it's a mass shooting or a terrorist attack that "might have been prevented if we only were able to get into so and so's phone" and the population at large will support the one of many bills that I'm sure are being drafted right now. I don't agree with it, I'm sure most of you on this site don't agree with it and understand it won't solve anything. BUT the US Government is power hungry and WILL find a way to force this issue sometime in the future. We can pretend it won't happen because of our nerdy righteous indignation, but it won't. We will have to come up with some sort of compromise or before you know it all encryption will be made illegal and all us nerds will get sent straight to the pen. And believe me most of us will not like it there.

It's not cheaper up here in Alaska where the local Internet monopoly GCI charges $135/month with a 300GB cap.

Would they have been better off not being able to get financing at all?

I agree with you 100%, but some of the commenters here seem to be downright angry at overweight people.

There is too many people here justifying discriminating against overweight people as well as too many people justifying being overweight.

Why can't we just hire people based on their skill sets, instead of our biases?

I suppose I have a live and let live attitude about people that just isn't popular anymore, even on a site billed as "for nerds".

Weren't enough nerds like us tormented in our youth for the way we looked? I swore I would never torment people that way, and it saddens me that the "nerd culture" has become some close minded self righteous group of people.

I hear you completely. I went prepaid three years ago and have never looked back. My monthly bill for my two iPhones with unlimited data comes to $95 a month TOTAL.

A few years ago some college kids protested the speed limit in Atlanta by going the speed limit and holding traffic up for half an hour. The video was called "55: A Meditation on the Speed Limit" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoETMCosULQ

No fanboy here either way, but the Windows 8.1 update upset me so badly that I went out and bought my wife an iMac. I'm still running Windows 7 on some of my laptops, but as they die off I won't be replacing them with MS machines. From here on out I'm an OSX/Linux guy.

There seem to be a lot of misconceptions on here about the Aeroscraft. I've been following the development of this for around a year now and can tell you that many people on here would be quite surprised if they would just take 2 minutes to Google the damn thing. This thing will honestly change the way freight will he transported in the future. The size is amazing, if the tests go through there will be an Aeroscraft with a 250 ton capacity with full hover and VTOL capability. It really is not the same zeppelin from years past.

This is absolutely awesome. They are using science to figure out the most effective lies.

My ISP once swore up and down that I had illegally downloaded Final Destination 4. I used to think all of this whining about people getting in trouble for downloading movies and music was total BS. My mind was changed once I had been falsely accused as no amount of discussion would get any consideration from my ISP.

It's not about who is responsible. Notice how the lawsuit targets those with the money.
