   This is as good a turnout as one could hope for, really. It assuages the entrenched interests, keeps the companies in more fierce competition, and gives even more political legitimacy to SpaceX. Any more details on why SNC got passed up?

   What legitimate reasons are there to remain part of the UK, other than "Less pain of separation"? I hear the UK say, "If you stay with us, we promise to give you more power!" Well, why don't you go ahead and give it

   I bought a Moto G specifically for its claim of staying up-to-date (and some other cool features), so I hope that I'll get major updates for years to come, lest I have to go to Cyanogen. People in this thread are shocked, SHOCKED! that

   One display, clearly labeled with a different color, different font, using degree symbols vs. "ft/s" units - you're saying this is bad, but two displays right next to each other, labeled similarly, isn't?

    I suppose you're right: If not Google, then who? But I don't think it's entirely fallacious: The US government is a toxic organization, and I hope Google keeps true to its civic duty to resist government spy agendas. To be fa

    If there was any doubt that Google is in the sack with the US government, this consistent funnel of execs from Google to the White House should quell it.

    And your same indignant stance will get largely ignored by me, because it ignores a core fact: The US doesn't have imminent jurisdiction over you. You likely aren't ever going to run for political office in the United States. The

    Too bad that's how it was sold. 2011: "Hey, check out this init system!" 2014: "Hey, it isn't just an init system! It's so much more!"

    Reading your comment fully (something I should have done), I see you address the differences in the analogy. Sorry. Perhaps the cost situation will change over time. Perhaps, in coming decades, the ability to fab microchips will itself beco

    What is assuming what? I didn't propose any evil, freedom-hating laws or "socialist" protections to an open Internet. I just said that it's a crappy thing for Sprint to do, and it is.

    Well, it's an awful thing for Sprint to do, since providing access "just to Facebook and Twitter" cannot possibly cost them much less than providing access to the entire Internet. Thus, they are blocking poor users from the f
