Looks like it might be time to donate again. There's something ridiculous about the need to buy decent government by donating to a charitable organization, but hey, they're doing better than most, and most of "us" (Slashdot readers) can probably afford it. Normally I'd suggest the option of doing it by way of the Humble Bundle, but currently they don't include that option...

...probably because it would conflict with the interests of EA (see the Bundle's current front page).

Speaking of EA...WTF, Humble?

Too big to fai^Wrepair.

I'll just put this Mark Twain work out there...

A real Obnoxious System, as opposed to a real Operating System.

The real reason for those guidelines is so that people can be certain your App Store software is 100% proprietary.

If they cared about viruses and privacy and safety and all that, then Facebook wouldn't have been approved.

With the UK's (and undoubtedly US's) despicable attack against Greenwald (the sort of lover-detainment that's quite simply the "evil" of good-vs-evil stories everywhere) I'm now highly convinced the budget stuff is a distractive sideshow, or even exactly what Obama wants of Congress. (If a budget is never submitted, then there's no budget to scrutinize for, say, certain secret departments' expenses.)

They are screened. They only select the finest social networks to send their spammy users here.

This is probably not needed for their drivers though. The use of middle fingers and "FUCK YOU!" appears to have caught on just fine as an industry standard.

"I don't get it. How do they call it "in the cloud" if the servers are located on-site?"

Carefully. Microsoft believes any sufficiently nebulous implementation is indistinguishable from something patentworthy.

Exactly the same as it currently is. Microsoft would make the workers quit, and those that somehow do get fired won't get unemployment status (and benefits) for various reasons.

I always thought "Ridiculous Tragedy" myself.

Facebook Connect is not a "better" idea.

Hey Bennie, that's some cool wall-o-text yeh got there. Tell yeh what, yeh can do all that writing fer us at Samsung, and we can give yeh some cool 500 bucks...just a few short comments an'such, howzabouit?

You're right, we should cool off and try less hotly-debated subjects like world trade.

You spent real money for your latte. Now cough up your real name for YouTube!
