I think we just need to get both sides to accept some realizations about digital content. On the content provider's side they need to realize that they can't charge the same damn price for digital content that they do for physical content while pocketing the difference and still expect people to pay for it. We're…

Sorry, but access to the internet is not a right. You agree to a contract just like everybody else when you sign up for internet access through your ISP, and as long as their lawyers aren't complete crap they'll have a clause in there stating that they can end service at any time they deem necessary. Saying they…

... Verizon is your ISP then, and since Verizon is listed as one of the companies doing this I'd say you've got an equal chance of getting a horrible, horrible, strongly worded letter or stern phone call from them as anyone else.

I do download all the episodes, but I try to make amends and support HBO by purchasing the seasons when they come out. It's worked out so far since I've paid $30 each for the first and second seasons of Game of Thrones on blu-ray.

I'm sure that they've got some clauses in there somewhere about being able to throttle your connection if it is used in an inappropriate manner. Inappropriate of course being a wonderfully general term that they can then apply to any behavior that they don't like, and think they have any chance of defending as…

While Google is great it does have one major issue, the same issue every other company has, it's run by people. People make mistakes. Whether we would like to admit it or not the almighty Google will one day have a security issue much like this one, or for wall we know it already has and was simply kept quiet.

I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I got most of that info from Wolfram Alpha. It would also probably depend on what it was made of.

Well from Google's standpoint I'm sure the difference is the $$$ associated with the product. If someone buys a Google phone/tablet vs a Samsung Android phone/tablet Google will most likely make far more money. Now that they're going to be making money off of the other handsets no matter what thanks to Android's…

Well I see they taught you how to read in school, but didn't quite get to the point where you actually understand what you just read. Calm the fuck down, and then take another look at this article without instantly getting butthurt that you just read and "understood" that someone's saying Android is dead.

Unfortunately as your PC is handicapped by a full computer operating system designed to be able to accomplish many many more tasks than simply playing a video game you will never get the same performance per dollar that you get from a console. Now us PC gamers can still get a FAR better looking game for sure, but…

I'm sorry but this is a man that lies constantly, makes up the most ridiculous stories you have ever heard in order to make himself look cool not realizing it makes him look like a complete moron, and attempts to shove his Fox News worshiping right wing Republican bullshit down the throat of anyone who dares to…

One of my coworkers tried to argue and say there's no way that this explosion could have been that powerful if all they had at Chelyabinsk was broken windows. Trying to explain basic physics to a moron is not easy...

I don't know exactly what causes EMP during a nuclear blast, but I'm pretty sure it's most likely something to do with high energy particles being emitted from the blast that crash into the electronics and overload them. An asteroid might have a very, very small EMP but it wouldn't release enough of the particles to…

I'm very much interested in both of these mentioned pills; however, I'm curious what kind of effect these shells will have on your various organs when they're filtered out. Hopefully none, but it seems like just about everything gives you cancer now-a-days. The last thing we need to be told is that they've cured…

Oh, so there's only one way to ever spell anyone's name? I guess that means that Odin, Oden, Woden, Wodan, Wotan, Wodanaz, and all of these here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_names_of_Odin are all different gods. Fuck, we're going to run out of sacrificial goats so fast...

They make it pretty clear in the first two series that cyborgs sometimes change bodies as they age. Since this is a prequel it makes perfect sense then that she would have a "younger" body.

Yep, working just fine under myself on Facebook.

Compared to the Open Office version that's loaded on the Linux boxes at my work Google Docs is freaking mana from heaven. Open Office can't open that presentation without horrible graphical errors that make it unreadable? No problem. Upload it to Google Docs, and bask in the glory of being able to actually read it.…

Oh, heh. That makes sense! Works great on their website as well.

Unfortunately I keep getting login expired errors that force me to refresh the page before I can even start playing on the Facebook version. Hopefully the one on the website will work better.
