hey, they could probably buy the implementation from iran!

I mean, it's sort of obvious. If a movie has a big enough pull for you to go drive to a theatre to watch it, the company that owns the movie realises you're willing to pay a direct…

I would join.

what how god how do you think corporations work? do they have magic money trees? we, in conglomerate, purchase THQ, give their games away for free and then what, fire all their dev…

i mean, i don't see what's wrong with it, even by today's standards. she probably didn't work, so it's practically just a relaxed maid contract. i mean, hiring a woman you shared k…

uh, cheap thing sell good?

...whaaaat a neckbeard. really, what sane commentator says unequivocally to not buy something because of (present, yes, and bothersome, yes) but niggling issues that really don't i…

stopped listening when he said NC. NC already has two damn gerrymandered democratic districts, it doesn't need to gerrymander any more.

can someone please explain to me exactly how running your traffic through a local proxy serves to protect it? I'm very confused.

My willingness to listen to a bush-era stooge is very low.

the bottom line is that america's eternal quest for a teacher metric is failing in relation to systems like the (perhaps overly touted) finnish one, where the discriminating factor…

...that's a hardly useful protest idea. the obvious protest would be to switch social networks. if you can get a good number of 'locked-in' un-tech savvy users to jump ship, facebo…

i actually liked hacker evolution, so i might get the gala. thanks!

copy cat bundles? can I get some info on those?

anyone else bummed that this one didn't include desura keys?

I mean, there was the whole thing about the novo7 going for 99$ yesterday. It feels like it's only going to be a short time before 99$ tablet opportunities are everywhere.

I believe it's targetted at the textbook market.
