Judaism - typical tribal religion that succeeded more than others
Christendom - around that time, Jews were sure that second coming is going to be very soon. This made easy for one self-proclaimed messiah after another to gain some followers, preach about overthrowing roman rule and promptly get slaughtered by local garrison. Jesus was probably a wacko, but at least clever enough to not challenge the empire
What copyright lobby does is throwing shit at a wall - almost every time something sticks. Even if whole shot missed (like in case of ACTA), then well - there will be another shot in half a year. See the same stuff pushed as CETA and if this somehow fails, split and attached in small pieces to unrelated bills. Sorry, in current system this fight is impossible to win.
If you sign up with dodgy VoIP provider, you get dodgy service, no big surprise here. However at least in Europe you don't get situation when you have "normal" operators on both sides of the call, but calls still fail due to some low-cost middleman.
Dude, do you honestly think its only Microsoft employees who managed to code up and release 20,000-60,000 apps while still juggling their day job? Have you ever even attempted to write software?
Get RSS feed or a webpage, wrap it into app and here you go. One more app in 15 minutes.
Class Action Lawsuits are often a big scam by the lawyers for them to make millions of dollars. While the "victims" (A mix of people who were actually a victim, and people who seem to meet the criteria but never really had a problem, but wants a few bucks) get their check for ten bucks.
The point is not to give victims money, but to force company to change its illegal practices. And as usual with companies, best incentive is money and lots of it.
Yes there are some good Class Actions out there, but most of them are just lawyers grabbing for money. After all is said and done. The company lost a lot of money, which could have gone to making things better earlier, and new jobs. And the real victims get joke change.
Well, if things reached the point where class action is needed, then obviously company did not make things better earlier.
Non-Class actions where each victim has a separate suite can be more profitable to the victim, and causes the company to change before such suits become more common.
Very funny. Almost nobody will sue separately, because bankrupting yourself on lawyer fees is not exactly rational thing to do when company cheated you out of $100.
What's the problem? Put him in isolation room with constant suicide watch for duration of sentence. Just like did for Bradley Manning. I believe this would actually decrease suicide risk to well below average.
Class actions are supposed to be deterrent. If company has to pay $100 * 1000000 + legal fee, then they will think twice before pulling the same shit again.
Slashdot Mirror
We are almost due for another Slashdot article about why there are so few women in IT and why this is all those nasty nerds fault.
Efficiency and costs as usual. If this is perfected, then huge amounts of arable lands can be repurposed and price of meat should drop significantly.
How about pedophilia and money laundering?

Just scale it up a bit and you have AT-AT.

In Europe? I don't think so.
It always have been resting on cost - just how do you think healthcare system works?
And get expelled for destruction of school property, great idea.

How about seizing and auctioning CEO?

Until he is no longer suicide risk.

Dear Canadians, could you please burn capitol AGAIN? It looks like US idiots need a little reminder every now and then.
And how many people exactly they killed over that film? None? Oh, maybe that's why Christian extremists are not painted as killers.
And if anyone STILL thinks about them as nice guys, read about Unit 731
Actually no, it will be the opposite.
Ah yes, the good old "she dressed like a slut, so she asked for it!" argument.
Do you know of any laws that forbid cruel and inhumane treatment of corporations?

This point was passed when they created "military commissions".
How about not worrying about every possible abnormality and just banning everybody except for XX and XY?
