This is Facebook's attempt to follow the proposed legislation that has a ill-defined definition of news sources. Perhaps Facebook is painting broad strokes to make a point, but in their position I would not want to expend effort on the endless task of categorising sites as being news-ish.

Google is not playing ball with the proposed legislation. They have established an alternative arrangement, i.e. they'll pay to include article snippets. There's nothing about sharing search IP and they've not reached deals with all of the news-ish sources now blocked by Facebook. Their deals will all be cancelled if the legislation is passed, it's a carrot compared to Facebook's stick.

Or is that different because the carrier gets their slice of the pie?

I found Full Spectrum Warrior to be more like a puzzle game. Each level was designed with specific challenges. Move to cover here, flank insurgent there and so on. As you said, a single mistake could be devastating, but unlike sokoban you can recover. Albeit by trudging back to the healing point. I did like that feature, but when I started thinking of the game in that fashion, it sort of lost its appeal.

Maybe the game was more dynamic than that, but for some reason it stopped being interesting for me and I moved on to other games.

This appeal probably more to do with the sort of lawyer drawn to the prosecution field than anything related to the politics of the executive branch.

Just as a gag, based on a string of comments made on an earlier date about Google vs. Bing, I typed "2^2^2^2" into Google, Bing, Wolfram|Alpha, and Yahoo. Google, Wolfram|Alpha, and Yahoo all provided the correct answer of 65536 (2^(2^(2^2))), while Bing provides 256 (((2^2)^2)^2). That alone makes Bing's search results less reliable than the others, in my opinion.

I love the lawnmower vs. rabbit... rabbit's in the bag ;)

But seriously, i used to spend about an hour or so a night adding to articles helping out and such, They just keep coming with more hoops and crap to waste my time - so finally I say screw em'

Ayn Rand fans should be horrified at the outcome here. Here is a businessman who is engaging in pure, free capitalism. Takes a lower quality product and sells it as a higher quality product. The government has no business getting involved in this man's pursuit of making a profit. If they don't like what he has to sell, they can take their business to another capitalist who offers better products and better service. Let the market sort itself out!

I have no idea why "a low end non power user" would know or care what their display resolution is. Its like complaining that linux is not ready for the desktop because a sterotypical grannie would have a hard time setting up a hard-realtime CNC controller. Who cares?

I don't print much. Didn't even own a printer from 1995 thru 2009. Based on my recent experiences, seems that changing the default printer is much simpler than understanding the concept of even having a default printer, or the concept of being able to print to multiple printers.

Besides the 'wood screws', the other claims about this card are incredibly suspect. 1) The connectors not showing through are hard for me to buy from just looking at fuzzy pictures as there are about 8 pixels for each of these solder points to juge from. You don't necessarily see the pins protruding way out on some parts. 2) Some of those parts with "missing" connectors could be surface mount. Like this molex power connector.
