Seriously, when are US-based companies going to stop making themselves liable by having employees in foriegn countries? Just base everyone in the USA and employ local resellers for the ads. Problem solved.

Spread out populations require a lot more fuel for transportation, and for the vast majority of the country, public transit that moves many more people per unit of fuel is not a viable option.
I'm no fan of the *AA, but it sounds like the judge made the sentences run consecutively instead of concurrently for each count. I am sure the 10,500 copies ready for distribution had more than a little bit to do with that decision, as well as finding weapons in the posession of a felon (which the Feds might still prosecute, if the state turns over the evidence to the ATF - they could tack on another 5 years).
And only a true idiot spends years in jail for something, and keeps on doing it, anyway.
You are if you stay outside that government's borders. Have no employees in the country, sell products FOB Origin in a different country... they can't touch you.
I don't get why anyone would divulge their full address just to comment on a website. I checked out the site, and they do ask for a handle, password, email address, real name, address, and phone number. I'd never fill that stuff out to post a comment on a news story - the danger of data breaches makes me minimize such disclosures.
It didn't work for stopping Larry Flynt's challenge of unconstitutional attacks on freedom of speech. Old Larry survived being hit with a.44 slug, and though paralyzed, went on to win his cases, jettison religion, and become ten times the pornographer he was beforehand.
So, sometimes even a.44 doesn't do the job. I reccomend a 20 MT nuclear weapon as the minimum caliber.
....died with him. Now, Apple is going to be treated like a normal company again in the press and by customers. It will just take a while for that new reality to get past the remnants of the distortion field's effects inside Apple.
It seems to have worked out reasonably well for the Taliban in Afghanistan. A low-intensity "harassment" war against a vastly superior enemy can be surprisingly effective. It's not enough to take cities, an occupier must control the countryside and logistical channels in a country to have any chance at actually controlling it, and to do so requires such massive manpower, technology, and expenditure that eventually it becomes not worth it.
It's happend, but the press downplays it or reports it as if someone "tackled" the gunman. Usually they don't need to fire, as the shooters surrender rather than risk being shot themselves, or are shot early enough in the rampage that the body count is too low to make national news.

Why would I use this instead of XRDP (http://www.xrdp.org/) which uses a client that is natively installed on every Windows box out there already?
...someone forgot that putting an int into a function that expects a UINT32 is not a good idea....

No, anything over .50 caliber is considered a destructive device in the USA and is legal, but highly regulated.

I do all of the above, plus write code, administer databases, and even deal with Nagios for monitoring it all.

is to simply move to Pittsburgh where you have huge mountains and about 300 miles of distance from the ocean to buffer the effects.

Or they just close all their operations is the UK and sell through resellers who purchase their product in the USA.

Windows 7 is a viable upgrade path, but 8 is just absolutely awful and has too steep of a learning curve.
Or use a simpler solution - just unplug the Saudis from the global net.
Just allow billing per hour at a fixed rate, regardless of what the procedure is. Problem solved.
Apple is sure trying to, though...
I'll bet that their db servers and Windows domain passwords are "sa" and "admin" as well.
The real issue is that poverty reflects the values of those subcultures that reject education and work.
