The billionaire won't notice it because it won't exist; the billionaire will be taxed way above mincome, because otherwise how are you going to pay for it?

.singles? Really? How much for kraft.singles? Come on, these gTLDs are a joke. I have always been a staunch opponent of new gTLDs, because phishing and the like are bad enough as is. In addition to that, now we expect another gigantic troll

Thanks for replying - I interpret "proceeds" as "gross proceeds" so was confused; it might be slightly clearer to say "net proceeds" or "profits". Either way, very cool idea!

You say the entire proceeds are going to patient care - but the gift package includes a $25 gift cert. What happens to the other $25?

No, that's ACH. SWIFT (or even FedWire) transfers happen within a few minutes.

> "on your Apple devices" That's the problem. Apple has DRMd the protocol so you have to be using an Apple device to send things to it.

There's no way it's bi-directional, as some of my lowest-ranked (i.e., best) edges are people with whom I am not friends.

You (subscriber who wants the mail) forwards it to a friend who wants to /dev/null it; friend clicks unsub link and original subscriber stops getting the messages.

It's the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, not the Digital Millennium "be nice to our servers and protect our trademarks" act. DMCA is not the correct tool for this.

Citation needed. There's no reference anywhere on LinkedIn's site to selling data sets at all. The only thing they sell are subscriptions to their site and there's nothing anywhere that indicates any of those include any kind

Gross; you're hiding the credit card requirement until after I've made an account. As a customer, I would abandon your site faster than anything, no matter how slickly you'd done the presell. And yes, I tried making an accoun

No, they don't, and you keep posting that they do despite being proven wrong several times in the past. They lost hashed passwords which are not user credentials.

There's a ton of those that are fully aboveboard, you just don't hear about them. One exists for return tracking, one exists for how many applications you've filed for credit cards, one exists for landlord/tenant court e

I paid 15 minutes ago and still have nothing; it seems like the 'instant' setup is not quite so instant. The page should probably not advertise "pay and you'll have it in 1 minute".

T-Mobile throttles after 5GB on that plan, not 2. Straight Talk straight up terminates your data connection after 2 GB. They claim that they throttle, but they effectively terminate it - the throttled connection is so slow and has so many

I don't care about Google telling friends that I +1d something. I care about Google telling the public. The things I like are my data and I want to choose what I publicly declare I like. That set may be different than what I tell my

The salient difference between JustFab and any other "of the month" club is that you don't actually get anything every month. You get a JustFab fun buck that is only usable on their site and they go to great lengths to hide t

Step 2 is really the unique part here -- what you need to do is to figure out who you want before you can figure out how to communicate with them. The oldest adage in the book about speechcraft is "know your audience" but it reall

Well, they could stop you if they really wanted; they could IMEI sniff. AT&T does it to detect "smartphones" so they can helpfully add 'mandatory services' to your plan without your consent - it'd be easy for

Then they should charge an ETF that will allow them to recoup their costs and not trump up some imaginary "copyright violation" boogeyman that stops me from using my phone as I see fit.

Oh, sorry, I thought this was the Unlocking Technology Act. All clear now, and agreed, it would make more sense to let that go than merely the proposed unlocking exception.

The anticircumvention requirement is one of the worst parts of the DMCA. If that was repealed as a result of this, I'd be thrilled . Can you elaborate on how this eviscerates anticircumvention?

That's Verizon and Sprint. The phones are mutually compatible but are unusable on the other network because they refuse to activate phones they didn't sell.
