    People don't like being doxed. Judges are people too.

    Well, you don't get it, do you? Of course "People don't like being doxed", neither you, nor me. The thing is, being a judge changes dramatically the way "doxing" is dealt with. Double standard...

    Post anything about anyone. That's fine. Just don't post anything about a judge. Lesson learned?

    No. In Breaking Bad, since you watch too much TV dramas, that would be the guys of the Vamonos fumigation company. They do some work, which is then indirectly used by a meth lab.

  5. Re:Soap Box time! on Peak Google: The Company's Time At the Top May Be Nearing Its End · · Score: 0

    Thank you for your skillful high school grade calculation. But, while it's mathematically correct, it tends to mislead the reasoning regarding growth. Of course, buying a house you look at the cost in 20 years, C x (1+r)^20. What about inflation? Prices went up 4% in 2014, that's what you want to know. Growth, same logic. In 2015 you observe Google and how they're doing, then in early 2016 the company growth will be known - based on a year we just happened to live. If Google does only 10%, do you say they did 32% over two years, or simply "they performed not as well as last year". That's what's interesting.

    There is a big difference between delivering drugs, and making the code of a web site as an employee.

    Why do you want to put bankers in jail? They've got enough money to pay for Britney's CD.

    Isn't a programmer an employee doing what he is requested to do - and anyway making programmes does not infringe copyright laws. It seems everyone has to pay a price in this megaupload story, in order to send a strong and threatening message.

    Actually "gloop" has almost all letters of the word "google". That was a hint as how to find out...

    So before that was done unofficially. Next, that will be official. The difference is that little by little people tend to get used to be traced everywhere (and this time again, the move is probably granted thanks to the terrorist attacks in Paris a monh ago)

    In documents that predate 1960 the word ton is sometimes spelled tonne, but in more recent documents tonne refers exclusively to the metric ton.

    from Wikipedia. Should have used tonne maybe. Yes I'm aware some people have weird measurement units, and others drive on the wrong side of the road..

    Depends on labor conditions. Most likely, the baby would be born normally. But in case of special conditions, where the mother/baby life is at risk, it could be necessary to follow some guidelines taught by a paramedic.
