bingo! we have a winner...

lol...no they can't, unless they want a total and utter customer service overload/nightmare.

imagine all the people complaining when they can't connect to their financial institutions and e-commerce sites?

i wasnt aware youtube and g+ allowed me to pay and skip ads.

could you send me a link?

it's a five year mission to bring huge quantities of public pork to all the special interests that "donated" to all the different politicians in the recent election.

wake up and smell the money.

yeah....i know i know....

huh?

perhaps you live on a different world as I, but "efficient" businesses do not lose 1.9B USD every three months.

unfortunately, history has shown for at least 2500 hundred years that government bureaucracies always devolve into political quagmires, where empire building and ass-kissing trump sound business practices.

Dear G+ User.

We wanted to let you know that your recently uploaded video "catsoncatnip.mp4" was automatically processed and several fixes were applied. We hope you like the results.

Also, in order to improve the user experience, we embedded a few targeted ads into your content. We are sure you won't mind as we have judged them to be unobtrusive.

Thank you for using G+

of course you can...you can even navigate my decimal number ie...

advertising dollars and the threat of their loss sure has a bite though.

man did everyone here wake up with a hangover this morning?

didn't anyone notice that i was, you know, just trying to be funny AND apply some reasonable logic to this?

how much would you care to wager that in less then a year, the site will be looking exactly like it did before?

because without a doubt, many many people without your "special shoes" have trampled over that site over the past centuries.

what GP did was reprehensible...that is so obvious its beyond question.

my OP just poked fun at the official who claimed "OMG this has never happened before!"

good point about the Inca's not being around anymore...of course I meant their ancestors.

so this is the first organized group that has EVER walked around the site?? in its' entire history?

lol...i think my adoring /. fans would miss my usual "stupid typo" posts if i started fixing them.

so then why haven't the Inca's totally blocked off the area and how did this large GP group get access to just be able to walk over over it?

for the life of me, i don't understand why the author of this post would feel the need to remain anonymous.

it is logical, thoughtful, and sensitive...have things gotten so bad here on /. that people feel the need to hide any non-liberal commenting in the clock of an AC?

not to be over simplistic or even the least bit forgiving against GP and this ridiculously stupid stunt, but perhaps they should look into a device called a "rake".'

it does wonders in sand traps for removing footprints...a different beast to be sure but come on..."no known technique"? :)
