I feel like there will be people who can't watch a movie they pay for because of this but even if the studios manage to execute this perfectly I'm worried about the precedent that this sets. How long will it be before they are pushing for

2nd the 'tradition' theory. I regularly eat at a restaurant that caters to students (who will almost always split checks) and they always offer to split the check for you. I've never seen this anywhere else.

Very true. I'd be interested in seeing some data about the life-expectancy of a business filing lawsuits like this, tho I think theres probably too many variables to accurately measure.

"Nokia, which took mobile phones to the Internet more than 10 years ago with its keyboard-based Communicator, was slow to move to the touch screens featured on the bestselling iPhone" Sounds to me like they lost their innovative touch and a

Thats the thing, for the average user there is almost nothing they do on a day-to-day basis that requires a complete computer. The future that the iPad is bringing will be back to a family that has one computer (desktop or laptop) stashed

Everything I've seen says that most of the problems come in larger cities, particularly on the coasts (San Francisco, New York, etc.) Anecdotally I'm from Chicago and while I don't have an iPhone I know a few people who regularly have mino

Wow compare that to Chicago alone which had 382[1] firearm homicides in 2006. [1] 467 Homicides [2] * 81.8% involved firearms [3] [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Chicago [3] http://www.examiner.com/x-2879-Austin-Gun-Rights-Exam

This would probably be funny if it wasn't my tax money that paid for their incompetence. Quick poll: How many founders on HN have had their failed startups bailed out by the Feds? (I suspect I know the answer)

I realize your trying to make a statement not a point but even if you don't believe that Iraq is a true war, and certainly even if you don't believe that we should be fighting in Iraq the Military is undoubtedly operating in a "war mode" ri

Because as the article described they need to appeal to their sponsors as well. I completely agree with you that if the terrorist simply wanted to terrorize Americans the best way to do it is to attack suburban schools and small towns. Ho

As he mentioned above the Federal Government does not consider the Fort Hood shooting a terrorist attack so it was left off the list.

I have long felt that anti-gouging laws are misguided fix to a problem. The best example I have heard is a story of three college kids who lived outside the strike-zone of a tornado. They rented a refrigerator truck, and some chainsaws th

There's so many different HN pages (ie news.ycombinator.com/noobs, news.ycombinator/ask etc.) that it would be helpful if there was one page that listed all of them. It does't need to be nice, or accessible itself, but it would help make i

Very true and I think that applies in a wide variety of cases too. To me its telling that the recession of 1938 came shortly after FDR came out with a new plan to help "fix" the economy.

I have to agree, the TSA has become nothing more than a political tool that does little to prevent future terrorist attacks. I believe they serve a purpose, but that purpose is not to prevent organized terrorist attacks, it is to keep a si
