    People who hear about Iraq from the US news mispronounce it. Those who actually deal with the country pronounce it "Urak".

    People who denigrate a whole group of people because of a caricature of what they think that group is like are called Bigots. You sir are a bigot.

    Please, explain how the "Digital Millennium COPYRIGHT Act" applies to Trademark.

    DMCA is for copyright violations. Reporting Trademark infringement is an incorrect use of the process.

  3. Re:Nexus 9 had finish issues on Google To Take 'Apple-Like' Control Over Nexus Phones (droid-life.com) · · Score: 1

    The earlier Asus Nexus 7s had screen lamination issues which caused the Gorilla Glass on the screen to be extremely fragile. I went through one, and my kids both had theirs shatter. I have never had these kinds of issues with a phone, laptop, or tablet, so it was a bit annoying that my brand new tablet broke and wasn't covered under warranty because they denied the issue.

    All manufacturers have issues. I love Asus, but even they have issues as well.

    So, people buy an iPhone where they either spend a fortune on storage, or constantly manage the storage as they run out so quick because SD cards are hard?

    That is an odd point of view.

    Very likely, it was your SD card failing, and nothing wrong with the phone. Did you try swapping in a new SD card?

    It doesn't matter, as long as you continue to hide behind a SINGLE person reviewing your code, you continue to declare your code untrustworthy.

    1. You have to actually get a technical point right before you can claim a victory, you can't just claim victory before you actually win, or you look like Buch with "Mission Accomplished" over his head when Saddam fell.

    2. You couldn't make anyone eat their words, your arguments are repetitive and easily debunked. You have never actually won an argument, you just fall back on repeating the same argument over and over in hopes of getting the other person to shut up, which I refuse to do.

    3. One person looking at your code is not a code review. Code reviews happen out in the open among a group of security researchers. It isn't like you have anything special in your script, it would take a few lines of shell script in Linux and Windows Powershell. Download all the other people's work, combine them, sort them and unique them. Simple shit man, stop being afraid someone will steal it from you, as there is nothing there to steal, and copyright covers you from stealing. If people steal your software from the source code, YOU CAN SUE THEM!

    4. You really need to stop losing to the wet paper bag of your own arguments, it just makes you look incompetent when you keep making the same arguments, and keep supporting yourself.

    5. Stalking people, and trolling everything they post is a sure way of coming off as creepy. I defend people I see you attacking, because I have been attacked by you, that doesn't make the other person my sockpuppet, and it doesn't make you automatically win an argument. If you want to have a civil conversation, have a civil conversation. Stop stalking people and posting the same shit over and over which has been proven to be inaccurate or silly.

    Jurisdictions that adopt Clearview must purchase a standard license for type, a one-time charge of between $175 (for one font) and $795 (for the full 13-font typeface family) and up, depending on the number of workstations.

    Where do you get $795 for the whole US when it is $795 per workstation? On top of that, the US gov paid for it to be produced.

    Now, who is the liar?

    I do. The government specifies a tax rate along with various discountable things. I make no attempts to minimize tax below what is considered "normal". No loopholes, no offshoring, none of that.

    That is exactly what many corporations do as well, they pay the "normal" amount of taxes on income earned in each country. After taxes are paid, the profits are offshored. Many of the companies are trying to avoid double paying taxes, as the US at least taxes offshore profits. These countries move their headquarters to another country to avoid paying that extra tax. They aren't failing to pay all taxes like you seem to think, they fail to pay taxes on income that should not be taxable.

    Personally, I am not sure why all this talk about vacuums though, the hyperloop is expected to have some air to provide a fluid bearing effect which will cause the cars to float in the tube.

    So, than you assert that you take no deductions at all as you don't try to minimize your taxes? You original statement is that you don't try to minimize your taxes, so that means you take no deductions and pay your full tax bill. Since you expect corporations to altruistically pay more taxes than they are legally required to pay, you must pay your full tax rate yourself since you are so altruistic and care so much about society.
