Why don't these users just hit the dropdown next to the feed and click the 'ignore all from this app' button or whatever it's called? It seems to work fine for the rest of us.

Hi, I'm glad you noticed.

There is no evidence in the story that suggests that Microsoft logs messenger conversions. For all you know the chat logs most likely came from the PC's of the persons involved in the case.

Somehow Bill Gates dollars are going to the polling places and casting votes all by themselves. interesting......

Indeed; it doesn't matter whether it's IBM or the CWA, either way their money trumps my vote.

How's that? At the end of the day it is the votes that are counted.

Sure, you may decide you agree with the message of IBM or CWA and vote accordingly, but at the end of the day it is your vote that makes the difference.

But, if I profited just one penny on each copy, then I would be in violation.

So, say you had a shop, and one night I came in and stole your inventory. If I give away your inventory for free, I'm ok, no harm done. However, if I sold your inventory for even just a penny, then I should be guilty??

I'm pretty sure there's some clause in the first amendment that would prohibit such a limitation. Maybe that clause which does something like.... "or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press" ... I mean, you'd like to think that the constitution really means something, I guess.

I just don't know why you think the public can't unite to create lobbying organizations. The public has been uniting to do that very thing since 1944. If you really are interested in donating your $25 to a lobbying organization and don't know how to find one yet, I would suggest starting here: http://bit.ly/7CsOua

You mean things available on the internet might be indexed by Google? Holy Cow! I wonder if other search engines also do this "indexing" thing. Mysterious and curious activities for sure, I say.

I wonder why you're friends with him now. Why wait until something bad happens? Regardless, that is the problem with social networking sites. It's not you that's the problem. It's that you have real-life friends that affect your life.

I don't understand. How could a name like LAX10205 be an extreme security hazard? Do you have an incredibly precise GPS-guided missile system?

No, but Lincoln Chafee certainly is...

Lincoln Chafee is *still* in the Senate? Holy Crap!

I didn't really have a great experience with Vonage, I switched to Comcast and never, ever had an issue.

Liberals complain that Walmart sloughs off its employees onto govt. health plans, but now everyone will be (encouraged to be) doing it.

I never really understood Liberal's problem with Walmart and the government health plan issue. You'd think that as far as liberals were concerned, Walmart was just forward thinking. If Liberals got their way, everyone would follow Walmart's lead. Go Obama!
