For everyone complaining about the beta format. They put a link right up on top of the pages now. Don't just post rants here (personally I doubt anyone in charge reads the comments here) send them emails telling them how much of an abomination it is.

Any news worth paying for is important enough that the people should be warned about it for free.
"Every time a cop has ever testified that he just had a "gut" feeling about a certain car"
A "gut" feeling is neither probable cause nor reasonable suspicion. Which is why the cop will simply lie and say your tail light was out or you failed to signal a lane change.
And "Whoops, dashboard camera must be on the fritz again..." right when said event supposedly happened.
What happens when you decide a different company has better phone service but all your money is locked up in tmobile banking?
You know, back in the 1940s, it was local US custom to intern Japanese Americans. Apparently, we don't do that any more...
Cows and especially pigs are highly intelligent animals. And they are totally delicious. Let's change our minds about those before we beat up the Japanese too badly, shall we?
Why? Don't you like your Japanese meat tender?
The corollary to the "you shouldn't worry if you don't have anything to hide" argument apparently is "you'd better not ever have anything to hide or the government will use it against you".
"And if you do not, the government will make something up for you."
I did the same thing to fix a friend's laptop. It was windows 8 though and giving me shit so I ultimately had to just rip the drive out and mount to another system. It was a pain in the ass but still recoverable.
1) You don't have to wash them after ever visit, unless you're buying, like, unwrapped raw chicken in which case you've got bigger problems
You might want to rethink that statement.

Did you check to make sure there wasn't an error? I know of some errors currently where the updater program doesn't function properly and locks up synaptic and the software manager as well but doesn't show the error unless you open it with the command line. So to the casual user it just looks like there's no updates. I currently have this issue but plan to just deal with it until Mint 16 comes out in a few weeks and just wipe and install fresh.
Your average consumer doesn't care that their TV is phoning home, or Google is tracking them, or that their cell phones are reporting to Amazon.
We used to be afraid of three-letter government agencies but really, the bigger story is that the average person doesn't care if they're spied on. To them it represents greater convenience in lifestyle as products are tailor-made to their kinks and purchasing habits.
Do you honestly think the average person knows about the spying or even understands exactly what is happening or how it ultimately affects them? If they knew and understood it as we do I think they'd be as pissed about it as we are. Probably even more so considering how easily riled up the average person is by the talking heads on tv.
/. threads are going to be intolerable if we don't talk about **the alternative** while we bash Sony's dumb design choices...
**MICROSOFT ALSO SUCKS ASS**
if any random
Which is exactly why I'm sticking with PC for next gen games. It's already built. I can upgrade it how ever I like. It will run nearly all games both systems can run but better and at higher graphics. More storage. More functionality. No creepy ass spying hardware. No backhanded Sony tactics. And hopefully in the near future, due to Steam, no bullshit Microsoft tactics either. I have literally ZERO reasons for buying a next gen console. They now have all of the downsides of a PC with none of the benefits anymore.
I always thought it referred to when you are getting out of the car after parking. If a car drives too close while you are getting out of the car and they hit the door, normally it would tear off and away from you. With suicide doors they'd smash you between the door and car frame.
Is it even legal for AT&T to just hand over personal data, to anyone who asks for it? Don't you guys over in the US have privacy laws, preventing or at the very least tightly regulating this kind of data transfer?
I believe the courts just ruled that it's not your personal data, it's the company's data. Which is complete bullshit in my opinion.
WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO STOP ARGUING ABOUT WHETHER ITS MURDER OR NOT AND JUST GET USED TO WEARING FUCKING CONDOMS.
Yeah all those rape victims should be more responsible and have their rapists wear condoms first before they are violated.
