Instead, in May Facebook, Google's YouTube and Twitter signed the EU hate speech code, vowing to fight racism and xenophobia by reviewing the majority of hate speech notifications within 24 hours
OK, so now "hate speech" is equal to "racism and xenophobia". Well, we already knew that to be true on Twitter where #killallwhitemen is perfectly fine, but it's nice to know that it's also true on YouTube and Facebook. They want a Trump in Europe too?
They have 'another coal in the fire' called TiSA (Trade in Services Agreement). They're all the same. First you have a few chapters that actually deal with trade. Then you have 4-6 times as many chapters that have nothing to do with trade, or should be brought forward in another more appropriate forum. One is the "IP Chapter". The first few paragraphs lock everyone in a whole bunch of copyright and related agreements, up to and including ye olde Berne Agreement. That means, that if you want to cecede from Berne to bring copyright term back to a more reasonable 20 years, you ALSO have to cecede from all these "trade" agreements.
Then there's a whole bunch of stuff related to the Internet, and enforcement powers, and responsibilities/safe haven reductions, that they would never get past national parliaments when considered by itself.
Well, the Voyagers carried plates that showed the elative position of the Sun to the center of the Galaxy and 14 pulsars, so there pulsars were already linked to position in deep space (from the aliens point of view).
If only people could be convinced to leave religion completely out of this. The world is either supported on the backs of four elephants, themselves resting on the back of a turtle, OR it is being held up for eternity by the deity Atlas. So the Elephantians, asking the Atlassians what happens when Atlas needs to pee or gets itchy on his back, are subject to "hate speech" charges? I don't know about you, but for me it's impossible to take either Atlassians or Elephantians seriously, and the harder they try to convince, the louder the laughing gets. Because you don't have to go to LEO (though it helps) to know the Earth can be approximated to be an oblate spheroid, which you can circumvent. No Atlas, No Turtles. So what will people say in the year 2250? Laugh at us like we laugh at the Atlassians?
It takes Great Men^H^H^H Persons of Science to know the Earth moves in a straight line, with the curvature of space-time causing it to orbit the Sun. This insight takes time to develop and Eureka moments. But yes, Earth orbits the Sun, not the other way around. Another example of a Ridiculous Article Of Faith, Perfectly Fine To Make Fun Of. But if you were in front of the Spanish Inquisition at the time, you'd think twice about saying it.
Come to think of it, the similarities between the PC/SJW crowd/by extension the Munich Court and the Spanish Inquisition are striking!
Sealand, November 5 2016 -- In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of the Kopimist Nation of Sealand ruled both RIAA and MPAA to be terrorist organisations, allowing for the rendition of any known RIAA/MPAA members, its agents or close associates "located anywhere in the universe, by any means necessary" to the Kopimist Nation of Sealand to answer for their crimes. The third organization on trial, BSA, was spared the terrorist organisation designation by the Supreme Court, however the racketeering-related convictions from the lower court were confirmed. Full verdict expected to be published in 72 hours. Story to be updated when new details emerge.
According to Steven Maviglio, the director of Californians for an Effective Legislature, a campaign committee formed to oppose Proposition 54. It all comes down to who is behind the initiative, and why.
That's like saying that Snowwhite and the 7 dwarves are rallying against a proposition to mandate the installation of smoke dectectors in the bedrooms of children, because the initiative was started by the Big Bad Wolf (who of course figures the higher the children survival rate, the bigger chances are that some of them might get lost in the woods). So yeah, rip out all those smoke detectors because the Big Bad Wolf is after your children!
But if SpaceX gets humans (alive, that is) on Mars first, I'm sure at NASA you'll see the then-Director move his/her/it? gaze skyward and yell at the top of 'their' lungs: "MMMMUUUUUSSSSSKKKKKK!!!!!!!".
...and if they dare make it illegal (and we've guaranteed them that they retain the sovereignty to do so to put sand in the eyes of their electorates) we can still pull them by their hairs in front of the ICS (a/k/a ISDS lite) and sue them for... One Million Dollars! Bwhahahahahahahaaa!
The "problem" is that engineers are already drooling over designs how they can make the battery 10x smaller. So, you're userspace "battery life" remains the exact same, which is: you have to charge it every night and it still dies on you mid-afternoon if you have been on it all morning. Hopefully one of the major manufacturers will release a phone in 2015 size ("Poweruser Edition") that actually has a 10x increased userspace battery life... so you'd have to charge it once a week. But if you still have 1,000 charge/recharge cycles, the industry-standard planned obsolence plans are foiled, so I don't think it will happen.
I remember ages ago, drivers for computer scanners suddenly had MANDATORY checks for those patterns you see on banknotes and refuse to scan if it was a positive. I had a CanoScan 6000 at the time and remember seeing a patched version of the then-latest driver that disabled the check. Now I don't see any patched drivers anymore, by the way. Then there were the laserprinters that printed "secret" identification-dots, providing forensic information leading back to the specific printer that was used to print it. Then there are the MANDATORY (as per the LA) checks for the Cinavia audiomark in BD players, including the PlayStation 3.
It's just a matter of millions of dollars in 'campaign donations', time, 'VIP -package with meet&greet invitations to events', etc. before similar checks pop up everywhere where you and I, right now, don't expect them.

LOL, was going to fake a 'Hillary Clinton for President' campaign Press Release, with the exact same argument that it was Putin's state-sponsored hacking groups preventing Trump from tweeting, but you already beat me to it.
Comparing apples and oranges. What you need to do is categorize the support tickets into categories and analyze them. For instance, a botched software rollout might lead to 100 support tickets of people calling the helpdesk they can't start application Y because of error X. How about the "forgot password" and other user-specific items? Were they removed from the sample?
Do they use the same printers? "I can't print" reason: paper was out. Situation: Windows users use printer A and print quite a lot so it runs out all the time, Mac users use printer B and don't print a lot and everytime the windows printer gets reloaded, the Mac printer gets 'topped up' so it virtually never runs out so not a single can't-print support ticket exists.
How about the Apple Fanbois factor? There's usually a Fanboi or two in every department that enjoy helping out their Apple-product-using colleagues, so instead of having the user call the service desk, they stop what they're doing and run over to fix whatever isn't working, just because they enjoy it so much. PC users don't care about the 13-in-a-dozen Wintel/WAMD machine and spend their expensive time more efficiently and have the tier-1 supporters take care of the problem
