That's a nice thought, but they aren't challenging "every little thing" the government does, they only challenge things they don't like, and there aren't a similar number of "flaming crazies" challenging other laws that other americans view as blatantly unconstitutional or imposing on freedom.

Take "obscenity" laws for instance, blatantly unconstitutional and yet those who oppose such laws aren't running around the streets casually with semi-automatic weapons or making references to "2nd amendment remedies" when things don't go their way.

If this were a case about a law requiring everyone to purchase a Bible, these same people would be actively supporting the law or at least remaining silent, because that's what they do, they only run their mouths and cry about freedom when it suits their personal causes.

Referring to this from the chrome os architecture pages

If verification fails, the user can either bypass checking or boot to a safe recovery mode.

That's the step where the system checks it's integrity. Google has said all along that users would not be forced out of their own devices by overzealous security measures.

Comment Re:Dropped call rate of 0.1%?! (Score 1) 187

If I said my penis was 5,000 flagoogles long, it might *sound* impressive, but maybe a hundred flagoogles is only half of a nord?

Isn't a flagoogle a unit of time and not distance?

If your penis was a car, would it be an 18 wheeler or a hatchback? Please phrase your answer in a way that would make Alex Trebek's ears flutter in glee.

Most of the iPhone users i've talked to say its been just fine on AT&T. I've got an iPhone 4 and it's working great, 3G speeds are plenty fast, and calls haven't dropped at all. Voice sounds bad, and AT&T might be worse in that respect than other carriers, but poor call quality seems to be part of a trend that followed the switch to digital phones, they just sound worse than the older analog ones and definitely worse than landlines.

Most of the AT&T hate seems to be coming from users in large cities like SF and NY. I expect that the signaling issues that TechCrunch and others have reported on that are specific to AT&Ts network are hitting hardest there.

It's so cute that this mom ACTUALLY believes her kid(s) when they say that they "stumbled upon the porn by accident".

Junior:'Honest mum, somehow my keyboard just magically typed naked sluts and somehow the mouse must have moved on it's own to click on the links. I'm innocent I tell you!'

And implementing what this stupid MP wants to implement wont do anything but shift the excuse.

Now it will be "Right-o, dear mum, i'm ever so confused about how the opt-in switch became all chumba wumba n'such........fancy a spot of tea?"

That's how the brits talk, i know because i've seen American TV.
