A devil greets him and says: "Welcome to hell. Since you're going to stay here for the eternity, please let me guide you to a tour of the place".
The tour starts in a marvelous garden filled with trees, colourful flowers, beautiful animals running around and a majestic castle in the middle of it.
"Come on, there's your room for the stay" incitest the devil. The newcomer is speechless, he just nods and walks on.
Once inside the castle, he sees wonderful clean rooms. The pair pass through an immense lobby, finely decorated with shiny carpets and tapestries. Next is a dining room, filled with esotic scents. The man notices a library too. Oh, what a library! thousands of books perfectly fitted in the bookcases.
Up to a marble staircase, the two stop in a room. "Here's your place, sir" says the devil while pointing in. Inside the really big room there's every comfort one can ever desire: a double royal bed with silk sheets, a fireplace, leather sofas, mirrors, fine carpets and whatnot.
At some point, the man walks in front of a window and looks out. Horrified he sees a burning lava sea with lots of people immersed to the neck in it, while hordes of devils whip the poor souls continously. "Wha..what the fuck is that!?!" he asks. "That's the Christian's hell" the devil calmly answers "that's how they want it".
I'm not sure about the US, but here (and I guess around all Europe is the same) the disclosure of public informations is not considered a violation of privacy by the law.
For example, my name and my surname are public informations.
My living address is a public information too, but how many people live with me is not.
Even my skin color is a public information: anyone who can see me can get it.
But my religious faith (or lack of it) is not, neither my sexual orientation or my health status. Hence publishing any of them is a violation of my privacy, and must be stopped.
In fact:
[...]which will cause disclosing their names, and thus violating their right to stay anonymous[...]
The right to stay anonymous is different to the right to have a privacy. br
What Microsoft objects to is people using Linux without paying Microsoft.
So why is it not ok when I object paying Microsoft while *not* using its products?
You know, all of my three laptops came with Windows installed bundled with the hardware, and I paid for it.
Each one of them, once delivered to my home, didn't even booted it as it was wiped and a flavor of Linux has been installed.
That still makes me go mad.
3 shifts, huh? So you say in China a day is 45 hours long, right?
Anyway I believe the 40.000 sq mt facility (provided it's a single floor, which I don't know) includes changing rooms, baths, halls, canteens, management offices and who knows what else. So it still sounds like a quite crowded area to me.

Or the manager who asks why she can't print to the printer that was recycled years ago
First of all, forgive my terminology: I'm quite ignorant on the subject, I just have memories of stuff read over the years.
That said, I guess the lasers included in the Seagate drive are diodes, as I recall they're just better over tubes on the cost side. But I also remember reading that diodes have a sort of "wear" problem: over time they tend to emit less intense light to the point it gets insufficent to perform the task. That's one of the reasons why CD/DVD drives "stop working" after a few years: the diode becomes unable to heat the disc's pits enough to perform writings first, and reads later on.
Could this impact those drives aswell? And to what extent?
I was going to grab the remote to raise the volume a bit to better enjoy the experience of those marvelous advertisings, but I stumbled on the power cord and ripped it off the wall socket, damn it...
Why card manufacturers utilize (rightfully) new manufacture processes (28nm transistors) only to push higher performances?
Why the hell don't they re-issue a, say, 8800GT with the newer technology, getting a fraction of the original power consumption and heat dissipation? *That* would be a card I'd buy in a snap. Until then, I'm happy with my faithful 2006's card.

If each of these hundreds of companies asked for 2.25%, you're gonna be in trouble.
Not an issue:
1) sell your stuff for, say, -5$ a piece
2) ???
3) profit!

"Research is needed to develop new techniques and technology for breaking or bypassing full disk encryption."
Fine. Go ahead.
That would lead to "better" crypto systems.

Correct.

Do not forget Bing is a "decisional engine".
In fact, I've decided I'm not going to use it.
That's fine, we know it fits our needs. Let the others think about *their* business.
And don't forget: an higher userbase translates to more exploits in the wild. I know I don't want that.
