Seriously? The application that was banned was relaying information from the U.K.'s Bureau of Investigative Journalism. The source data is ALREADY coming from outside the United States.

It's in Tennessee, God put it there.

The difference is that Square is actually a Merchant Service Provider, for all intents and purposes, they ARE the credit card company. Paypal is more like an escrow service. I own a small business and have a merchant service account through a decent provider, the rates are pretty good and the money shows up in my bank pretty quickly. After reviewing services like Square and Intuit's GoPayment I realized that once I factor in the monthly fee I'm currently paying my provider, any fees associated with my POS terminal as well as yearly compliance fees I can get a MUCH better rate by using Square or GoPayment (I decided to go with GoPayment because of the integration with QuickBooks).

Fixed that for you >br />

That's why dangling participles should be avoided, the antecedent is ambiguous.

If Verizon doesn't adhere to neutrality then simply revoke their common carrier status. I'm sure the FCC has the authority to do that and it will wake Verizon up REALLY fast when they ARE being held liable and accountable for everything that goes through their network.

Wow, Troll?

Have you guys even READ any Asimov? This is the story line for 'The Evitable Conflict' and also the movie 'I, Robot'. The laws are misinterpreted to mean mankind or humanity instead of the individual person, so limited harm could be inflicted on the individual to prevent harming humanity as a whole.

Even the posts below either didn't read the very first sentence in my post or they aren't familiar with the I, Robot stories.

As in I, Robot. The robot was able to differentiate between the well being of the one against the well being of the many and caused harm to the one.

Similarly, our 'robots' harm the one (the owner) for the benefit of the many (the corporate overlords and the minions that thrive off the aggregated data supplied to them by our little robots).

I don't know where you live, but in the US, non-group insurances plans ARE move expensive for people who smoke.

The proposed tax is comparable to the US Government taxing Ford for all of their cars on interstate highways.

Almost every karaoke machine I've ever seen, the music is NOT the original artists recording. Why then are the original recording artists entitled to a per performance fee. I would think that the mechanicals have been paid when the karaoke company licensed the song to be included in whatever package they purchased.

Also, in the states, bars are already required to pay fees for music performed in the venue which includes karaoke.

Yes but that was for an actual contract. Not sure if an EULA is a valid contract...

When a book is available in paperback, why should I be expected to pay hardcover prices for the ebook. That's what I was referring to and if the paperback actually IS available then you SHOULD make the comparison between the two.

Forget about comparing the price of hard cover books to ebooks, try comparing the cost of paperback books to ebooks. In almost EVERY case the ebook will cost more than the paperback book, that is just absurd.

Very good explanation, on Rt 84 they have those white boxes over the road right before the weigh station. When the weigh station is open there are usually one or two state police vehicles hovering around.
