You have a good excuse to be blindsided by what happens during your first interview. You don't have a good excuse to be blindsided by what happens in your second one.
Some of the nonsense is bothersome but then life is full of such nuissances.
Companies have been screwing over employees like this long before Obamacare. The expecation that a full time position implies health insurance coverage is also not a new thing.
The idea that Obamacare is a hardship on some guy that doesn't even have to pay his workers minimum wage is just silly.
Jerks like that have been gaming the system for a long time.
What you are seeing is Sturgeons Law at work coupled with an extremely strong age bias. Kids are cut more slack because the culture values them more. Plus they tend to be easy to exploit. The people that will be worthless at 40 probably weren't terribly useful when they were 25 either.
The current situation is already a result of that. The Arabs refused the original two state solution and lost numerous wars. They don't really want to abide by the UN or the spoils of war. They are not willing to let the matter be settled in any way that the Jews would tolerate (Israeli state or not).
Actually, the whole area is far too important to too many religious types to be in the hands of any one "interested party".
If the Jews shouldn't control it than the Muslims shouldn't either.
No one should have the power to exclude implied by ownership in that area.

There's really no avoiding that. If you had any clue about that you would realize it. On the other hand, this is their national homeland and they do have a history of fighting for it. They are a distinct group with their own culture and language rather than just lingering remnants of the last empire to hold the relevant real estate.
That's usually what happens when your government starts a war.
If a child points an unloaded gun at a cop he will be shot dead and no one should have any sympathy for him. No one should whine and make excuses for him afterwards or demonize the cop.
This would be the national version of liberal nonsense that dictates that you are not allowed to defend yourself.
When you let game installers run willy nilly through the system files, every single PC can have it's own unique configuration. Windows solves this through brute force but it's still the same problem.
This is pretty retarded of them. They should have ZERO problem with the redistribution of their client. It is NOT the product. It is the thing that downloads the product.
There is really nothing for them to lose here.
The community can do the packaging work for them if they are allowed.
The use case for non-DRM rentals is 99% of the population out there that have no technical skills to speak of. There is nothing on Netflix streaming that I can't get somewhere else.
Infact, I am far more likely to find what I am looking for in some other format that is more widely supported.

Running Netflix On Linux

No. Netflix has an incestuous relationship with Microsoft. That's why they are using Silverlight while Amazon is using Flash.
So Amazon works fine in Linux.
You want to know what's really the minority platform? Silverlight.
The consequences for piracy should be no graver than those for jaywalking or speeding.
There is considerable disagreement on these matters regarding just how severe "piracy" is and how much social cost should be tolerated in order to prevent copying.
Your stuff may only be worth $0 on the open market.
If no one is buying your stuff, then you are just a loser. There's no other way to put it. Rampant piracy does not prevent people from making money. Being lame is what prevents people from making money. There's only so much money out there and you have to be able to compete for it.
No one is going to lay the world at your feet just because you think you're entitled.
Don't let artistic megalomania distract you from taking care of business.
People need to stop repeating pro-corporate mythology and treating it like the truth. The truth is actually a bit more subtle.
It sounds like this kid shared nothing that shouldn't already be in the public domain if not for the fact that the law continually gets distorted to favor gatekeepers.
If you want greater respect for the law, then start by making the law respectable again.
So Europeans whining about the American incarceration of "children" is a little disengenuous. Kind of reminds one of how American fundies like to trivialize young adults.
...except ALL airlines are subject to the same burden.
THAT right there is a key benefit of evil government regulations. You can provide a level playing field where no one is allowed to cut any extra corners in order to get ahead. Externally imposed standards restrict the shenanigans a company can pull and no one is at a disadvantage for doing things right.
That's kind of a loaded comparison right there. Just by using the term "Greek citizen" you are likely excluding all of the riffraff that would bring the numbers down. So this is a sampling problem more than anything else.
The modern definition of "citizen" is much more inclusive.
No. I think when people talk bad about Linux on the desktop that they are just repeating someone else's bogus nonsense from 10 years ago. Mac users attacking PCs and Windows have always tended to be like that. They will use arguments that sound like they are 5 or 10 years behind the times.

Unix users have been able to install stuff to their own $HOME directory since before there was a Linux or a Windows.
This is the situation on ANY OS.
When you let game installers run willy nilly through the system files, every single PC can have it's own unique configuration. Windows solves this through brute force but it's still the same problem.
Linux is far from unique here.

It's proof of nothing.
All we really have is mindless "fragmentation" rhetoric.

The concept of creative property is wrong.
It is contrary to the law.

In some countries, 16 is a legal adult.
In other countries, 16 is effectively an adult.
So Europeans whining about the American incarceration of "children" is a little disengenuous. Kind of reminds one of how American fundies like to trivialize young adults.
That's fine as long as litigation doesn't ensue.
RTS would be sued or prosecuted like any other accused pirate.
This sounds suspiciously like core memory.
Soon the term "core dump" may no longer be an anachronism.
The wheel turns...
Nope.
You don't need to root an Android in order to side load apps.
You can also install alternate app stores.
It's that whole "open systems" thing.

There are already airports where the plane flies itself and the pilots are required to sit back and let the autopilot do all the work.
