Comment So why is this relevant? (Score 1) 28

It's a silly remake of a silly game for silly people with more money than brains. Granted, this covers the majority of people, but it doesn't make it any less embarrassing for society. It's like the rise of Social Media to something akin to a real news source rather than a podium for people that would probably be better served by just shutting up. What about advertising? Why do we tolerate that? Because Stupid People(tm) actually respond to the ads. In the early days of the internet some moron though "Hey, I'll email a bunch of jerks about my product. If I get one new customer great!" Then all the other marketers looked at that and said "Shit that works! I don't have to pay much if anything, and put the burden of delivery squarely in the lap of the poor suckers that receive it! And those dumb bastids will fall for it!"

Yeah.. This is yet another "small insignificant" chapter in the downfall of society. We're too stupid to continue to exist.

Why is Zuckerberg even relevant anymore? Does anyone really care about what he vomits in public? Even giving consideration to his weirdo predictions gives him credibility he doesn't deserve. You can't buy credibility. Just filter his name, and anything meta related. Uninstall every meta app, and in general ignore him like the typical village idiot.

Oh yes and make yourself a list on how everybody likes his coffee.

First thing in the morning make sure everyone et a cup before asking.

It might help to be there a little early.

Get a little rolling bolster, so delivering coffee will be easier.

It might be funny for your co-workers, if you get a little starbucks cap.

eReader.com Limits E-book Sales To US Citizens 182

An anonymous reader writes "eReader.com seems to have begun applying distribution restrictions to its library. I first noticed that there was a FAQ page about distribution restrictions this morning. When I tried to order a few books this afternoon I simply couldn't — a large banner on the order confirmation told me the books had distribution restrictions. I checked a number of titles but it seems a large number of books are no longer available to non-US citizens like me. It is interesting to note that this policy change got implemented shortly after Barnes&Noble purchased Fictionwise. I have no idea if the new owners are behind this new policy but it seems crazy to restrict sales of ebooks. I've bought dozens of ebooks from eReader the past 4 years. I still have 15 dollar store credit but cannot buy any of the books I am interested in." (Right now, the link that should display these new geographic restrictions returns an error message that says the page is being updated.) Sounds like Barnes & Noble is taking its cues from Apple.

Even though, I also support Obama, as far as this is possible from Europe,
you post is undemocratic in so many levels, that it really bugs me. You
Seem to miss the sole basis of Democracy.

Your Argument: Taking away the chance to influence the election, from fellow
citizen, would be good, because the outcome looks more, like what I was
hoping for.

GREAT FOR OBAMA? NO, IT'S NOT! IT'S NOT GREAT AT ALL, FOR NOBODY.
