These two needs to put on trial for crimes against humanity. Who gives a flying fuck if this was legal in the US and approved by the president? In fact every part of the chain that made this possible should be put on trial. If "I was only following orders" is not a valid defence then "We were following the law" shouldn't be either.
ISIS has been know to eat bread. But they don't eat it the way we do. They do it support terrorism! We now need to start watching all bakeries! We also need to taste all the pastries in case of terrorism!
My guess is that it will take an incident lite Ferguson but with a white boy. When that happens and the white middle class learns that they aren't safe all hell will break lose. I would on the other hand guess that the police wouldn't react the way they did in Ferguson if it was primarily white people doing the protesting.
The author Eric Flint does something a bit like this for his ring of fire books. His publisher has released a couple of books with collected fan fiction.
Of course, I wouldn't have had my 16 books by Eric Flint if baen hadn't been supplying free ebooks of some of their books
Since breastfeeding is the natural and original way to feed a baby, shouldn't that say "bottle fed babies have lower iq at age seven than the ones that were breastfed"?
"So, if you’re in the top 5% of data users" Won't this lower the amount the top users can download? So with a bit of luck Verizon can continually lower how much a top data user uses. Thereby they can change what the definition of what a top user is.
Here's an interesting coincidence for you. At the same time this happened Sweden decided to drop their investigation of Assange in regards to the rape allegations.

"We strongly believe that original innovation/../"
Ya,I stopped reading the press release around here. I've heard it all before.
I could support original innovation but this as so much other patents are patents for patents sake. They don't bring any new to the game and they only exist to stop others.

Re: Re: Telcos CAN'T logically let just ANY software run.
Not all phones in Europe is sold unlocked. This for instance: http://www.katshing.se/mobiler/samsung/samsung_galaxy_siii_4g-16474_30101
But they are usually locked for a limited time and the operators have to supply unlocking.
My galaxy s3 isn't locked but I do have a contract with an operator where I pay an raised monthly subscription for 24 months. After 18 months I could renew it if I wanted to. For that I pay 300 SEK per month which comes out to around $46. For that I get the phone, $23 worth of call minutes at 11 cents per minute, 1000 sms/month and 1 Mbit/s with no data cap.
Admitting that you are wrong opens you up to lawsuits. Being a dick is risk free from a legal standpoint. Lawyers and MBA:s only know the law and money. They don't know anything about PR so it seems.
I know of cases where it has been easier and more hasselfree to download software from TPB than to go to the offical companies site. Even though the copy was paid for.
