    I'd be very grateful:

  2. Re: Website ToS violations now legal - jailed?

  3. Re: Amazon announced Kindle Touch and Kindle Fire

    I wonder if Apple will sue them for the Fire having a constant width black border with rounded corners around the screen?

    Re: Apple's lawsuit about the Galaxy Tab

    But I do understand it. I just don't care if I use it correctly.
    Not sure why you're fixated on this word. The point is Apple sues for their bottom line.


    You're just paraphrasing me now.

    Re: Apple's lawsuit about the Galaxy Tab

    But I don't care what it means...Apple sue for their bottom line (sensibly).


    If it were a single dimension that would be true. With multiple dimensions it's shape.

    Um, you ignored half the logic in the sentence: " Majority rules that system, so by definition posts that stay visible are the ones most people want to discuss."

    So they're the same except where they're different? That applies equally well to any two objects on earth.

    Er, didn't mention "killing" or "disallowing", just "moving".



    "Better" assumes that new posts are of more value, which is not necessarily correct.

    What's left is "My cat eats carrots for breakfast", and "Look at the comic/website/game I made", etc.
