I guess if you ask for a police state, you get one.

I disagree. I have modern CFL's, and they most certainly do not reach full brightness in the same time. In the basement in the winter, it's downright pathetic. So bad that sometimes I turn the light on minutes before I go downstairs. It can take quite a few seconds (never timed it but I bet it's as much as 45) to…

Ha.... In most prisons, people learn to become better criminals!

Seriously. I'm right with you. I'd never consent to a search. And you hit the most important nail right on the head. It has nothing to do with looking guilty or any of that nonsense. IMO, if the police ask you to let them search, they already see you as guilty.

Are you kidding? Never consent to any search, ever.... of anything.

That's what I was wondering as well. Doesn't seem like being infected is the end of the world. Even though I don't personally want to be.

Interesting that most software companies have a no refund policy, and that the apple employee points to this being a "one time exception" . I don't now, it's sort of not the right way to do business, but at the same time it's hard for them to know that when you've "opened the box" you won't keep using it after you've…

Credit cards are evil. I don't have even one. If I can't pay cash, then I don't buy/rent it. End of story. That includes renting a car and having to put up with the hold.

Un-freaking-acceptable!

I used to sell cars, and your article is a good one.

Seems like our government just recently stated quite boldly that "hacking" constituted an act of war!!

They don't want people to adopt the format, imo. Like the music industry, they're technology adverse.

Need video!

Its outdated, but probably still being used. You can find it on wiki. Kinda an early fax.

Wow, that guy is a tool. Seriously.

I couldn't agree with you more. I'm so sick of people who clearly are going as fast as they can to get thier phones out of their pockets the second they hear it. As if it's the most important thing in the whole wide world.

Clearly this has probably been going on for ages. It didn't just so happen that once the media got hold of one story about this, suddenly other traffic controllers started failing asleep too. No, they've been doing this for some time.

Yeah, stereotypes are "mostly true" until someone belts one out that is considered racist.

Are you kidding? Google has more than proven it can make money and be profitable. If you're trying to suggest that record labels are going to be shy because they can't be sure google will make them money, that's just nonsense.

This is not just done in Russia. Alaska I know does this too, as I'm sure plenty of other places.
