Politicians can and do dictate the law these days, but they can't dictate economics. If the NSA/CIA/Government pulls too much shit the smart people and business will leave. Also, Mormonism is a cult.

I'll take the pirated 1080p version that doesn't have unskipable adverts, copy protection, and the extra commentary track. I don't care about any of the "extra features" that Hollywood seems to sprinkle into every DVD. Their business mode

The t400 is a tank. It survived university and being dropped more than a few times, and beer spilled all over it. MBPs are like Maserati/BMW/whatever which are sexy but require much more maintenance and care than the Honda civic of laptop

OK, I think I might have worded things a bit awkward there. Actually I agree with you completely in that technology is not moving fast enough. Having a speech enabled android tablet/phone could actually compete with siri and would be ve

Ubuntu 10.04LTS has gnome 2, it also had gnome-do which was awesome. Ubuntu 12.04 is going to have unity/blurify or whatever -- this is a gigantic change and what prompted me to switch back to windows 7 on my laptop. This is too much chan

The only people that really need to worry about SOPA are the little guys with personal connections/local businesses in the USA. If the USA kills their golden goose then it is their own damn fault and business will move elsewhere. To acce
