If you cook a meal, do you say that you and the store clerk and the transport driver and the farmer and the butcher and the miller and the service technician at the electricity company cooked the meal?
That changed when people started running crying to the Government at the least provocation. When everything bad that happened to people was somehow somebody else's fault and the "authorities" should help people fight the perceived cause (i.e. anything but their own goddamn fault). Plus, the Government is needed to enforce that your freedom ends where mine begins.
Nor are most planes. Does the TSA security theater actually make you safer? In which case, should it not be sufficient that Apple has a screening process to make you safe from privacy concerns? They are the TSA of the App Store.
No, they'll just throw eBook (earlier laptop directed at students) in as prior art. Or threaten to buy the company for some coins they found cleaning the couch.
Or people who support free trade. It's not about any perceived allegiance to the PRC but "allegiance" to Huawei's competitors. Do you think every country needs to be protectionist and block foreign companies from competing with national ones?
Well, the French perhaps feel a bit of guilt for invading and colonizing Muslim countries in the first place. As for Norway, what terrorist attacks have been done here have been done by our home-grown right-wing Muslim-hating lunatics (not counting Mossad's assassination of a Maroccan they thought was Palestinian)..
As for you, you have just replaced "Jew" with "Muslim" in an old broken record of hate.
I must start frequenting French government sites so that I can be "punished" with a cushy public pension when I retire... certainly, as a visitor to the site I must be treated like a French public employee, non?
Yes, it seems the project audit by Veritas found insufficient testing as one of the criticisms raised. Does.Net/Sharepoint have any serious tools for systems testing, like you have a plethora of for Java?
A young kid growing up in an oppressive family situation suddenly learns that he is one of a special class of children with special abilities
Yes, I always wished Card would try and get away from that formula sometimes. Treason? Check. Ender's Game? Check. Homecoming? Check. Alvin Maker, even ignoring the Mormon references? Check. Wyrms? Guess so. Hart's Hope? Maybe both of the children, even though Beauty is an adult for most of the book.
The banks' consultants, driven by commissions and bonuses, did not perhaps force them, but nor did they do what would benefit both parties: Decide that the loan should not be granted and the would-be borrower should look for cheaper options that they could afford.
Bonus systems encourage behavior that promotes the employee's selfishness (maximizing bonus) at the cost of the interests of both his employer in the long run, and those of the customer.

Changing colors on a C64 screen circa 1984 and challenging a trademark at the same time...
So then what is the reason that it does? I mean, if it does not have to?
All that - and world peace, I guess... Keep dreaming, and keep watching your own government throw around subsidies too.
No, I am saying that people who think Huawei hardware is controlled by the PRC government should cut down on the pot.
Or people who support free trade. It's not about any perceived allegiance to the PRC but "allegiance" to Huawei's competitors. Do you think every country needs to be protectionist and block foreign companies from competing with national ones?
Not to mention those unwholesome foreign sports. Those rugby players have way too little padding.

Accidenture living up to its nickname.
From the article:
A young kid growing up in an oppressive family situation suddenly learns that he is one of a special class of children with special abilities
Yes, I always wished Card would try and get away from that formula sometimes. Treason? Check. Ender's Game? Check. Homecoming? Check. Alvin Maker, even ignoring the Mormon references? Check. Wyrms? Guess so. Hart's Hope? Maybe both of the children, even though Beauty is an adult for most of the book.
And the legacy of a certain president is improved if we stop referring to him as "Tricky Dick".
Depending on location, I would guess Uncle Tom's Cabin and The Cider House Rules should be in the list.
Ender's Game is great as sci-fi that addresses topics the class can talk about. No, not bloody nudity, but responsibility and consequences.
This takes the incest thing to a whole 'nother level...
Not to mention time travel. Timecop 2 has nothing on ye olde "God and Son of God" paradox thingy.
The banks' consultants, driven by commissions and bonuses, did not perhaps force them, but nor did they do what would benefit both parties: Decide that the loan should not be granted and the would-be borrower should look for cheaper options that they could afford.

I guess if Mitt Romney wins the White House lottery he'll make fellow Mormon OSC's books required reading... :)
No, Xenocide was a later book in the series.
Wait, now I get it...
Sales tax. Look it up. U.S. prices are usually given without, consumer prices in Europe usually with.
Since the raw materials used in the manufacturing - minerals in particular - usually are not, then by transitivity no electronic devices are.
But then again, do people check that e.g. the fruit they buy at the grocer's is picked at worker-friendly farms?
It's another Roblimo slashvertisement. Move along, please.
Only to counter the "It's not natural!" argument, not to say that "anything 'natural' is good", which is not.
