    A bit like how the US invaded a Iraq (on false pretenses) causing billions of dollars worth of damage. Brought in US giant companies to rebuild the country and then starting whining about how the rest of the world should contribute to the reconstruction?

    1. Burn down your neighbours house.

    3. Get kickback from your brother.

    "encouraging manufacturers and retailers to purchase fewer (or even not stock) AMD processors." How could that possibly be illegal?

    How about this "In addition to providing rebates to manufacturers that bought almost entirely Intel products, the Commission found that the chipmaker had paid them to postpone or cancel the launch of specific products based on AMD chips."

    Hey, thanks for pointing out the obvious..

    The obvious did not seem very obvious when reading your response to AC. The EU do not have any limit on free speech as the fact that there are 15 Sovereign member states that do not have that limit clearly shows.

  10. Psyop? on Hundreds of Thousands of Chinese Black-Hats · · Score: 1
    FTA

    A series of defacements left little doubt about where the attack originated. "Beat down Imperialism of American [sic]! Attack anti-Chinese arrogance!" read the Interior Department's National Business Center site. "CHINA HACK!" proclaimed the Department of Labor home page. "I AM CHINESE," declared a U.S. Navy page.

    Yep, that everything your read on the internet is true is a well established fact. Or, could this just possibly be psyops with the purpose of generating fear, fishing for funding and any other of a myriad of other possibilities beside that it is a Chinese attack, which of course that too is a possibility.

  13. Re:Shouldn't Judges remove themselves? on Judge In Pirate Bay Trial Biased · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, the Swedish laws are not very different in that aspect. If a Judge find himself in a situation where there is a risk of bias or conflict of interest then he should inform the involved parties. At which time he voluntarily can choose to step down. If the judge do not remove himself then the involved parties can request his removal.

  14. Re:I Wonder... on Judge In Pirate Bay Trial Biased · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It is not like they are getting out of it. What will happen is that HovrÃtten (the Court of Appeal) will decide if there were bias or not. Depending on the decision it will either be a retrial or their appeals will go to HovrÃtten in due time. Not much of a change judicially, although PR wise it certainly benefits TPB.
