The problem is that you can sue someone into oblivion (usually a ltd company that goes *poof* the moment you try to squeeze money from it) means jack shit when your whole administration grinds to a halt and you can't get anything done sensibly anymore, constituents get REALLY pissed at you and vote the other guy in next time.
Who then gets your job AND whatever they can squeeze from the husk. Well done. Really. *golfclap*
Direct confrontation is easier to handle than backstabbing manipulation. Direct confrontation is something you can at least take to HR, try that with a backstabbing mobbing master.
Women are not aggressive and competitive? Are you kidding? They may be more subtle, but if you want to see backstabbing that could teach George R. R. Martin a few things even he didn't imagine possible, watch a few women try to outdo each other for a high level position.
The problem is that if this practice grows root, the idea of "working for a living" loses all meaning. How do you sensibly convince people that working is a good thing if it isn't giving them the means to live their life? In a system like this I cannot in good faith expect someone to work for his living if he gets no living for his work.
Who gives a shit, what we're looking for is an easier to deactivate Cortana (among other things that are suspiciously hard to get rid of).
Until Windows 10, we were forced to reinstall Windows when buying a new computer to get rid of the damn bloatware, with Win10 this doesn't work anymore because Windows itself comes with enough bullshit you can hardly get rid of that it makes the crap those Laptop peddlers stuffed into your "new" system pale in comparison.
Now that the whole Facebook shit hit the fan, we can finally hope that this whole privacy destroying data collection madness gets some attention.
Keep the stories coming. And make sure that they keep the steam they have now.
And yes, it doesn't even matter what kind of story. Few people will actually understand what's really going on anyway. But what matters is volume. If there is story after story after story about how companies destroy our privacy, people will finally listen. Not because they understand, but because of the amount that surfaces.
Though I loved it when my (arrogant and self-absorbed) boss showed off his (literally) shiny new monitor about a decade ago, bragging how wonderful it is.
The inside joke in the company was that what he liked most about it was that all he could see in it was his own reflection.
What he really was punished for is to show that the idiots who want every single information about everyone can't keep their own information (and of course ours) secure from a 15 year old kid.
Who the fuck talked about getting any governments involved? Your might want to learn to read what's there and not what you want to see. Just so you don't look like a complete retard when you reply to something.
And as long as we put up with being nickle-and-dimed, they'll continue to do it. What we have to do is to simply avoid games that charge 60 bucks for the "privilege" of even playing it, then another 30 for 0day DLC and another 30ish a month just to keep playing for the various tools and toys you "have to" buy to stay competitive.
As long as you keep paying, they'll keep milking you. Is that what you want?
How fucked up is this? If you have a job, you should have enough money to feed yourself and your kids. If that's not the case, your system is severely broken.

For 26 millions I'd assume all this and a few things more, yes.
...said the lawyer.

Could I maybe take a look at it? I might be able to offer you a solution for 25 millions a year...
*sniff*
You mean I may have hopes to work in my dream job after all?
How did you get away with it without a discrimination suit?

Because nobody wants to look at guys with hugs boobs?

Not to mention that from now on, every celebrity where a sex tape gets leaked can credibly claim that "That isn't me!"
No cheating please.
We're taking your bets on the percentage of systems that will be bricked this time.

It's finally time to get one now that you may actually own one?
Nintendo, again leaving the competition in the dust when it comes to building what the users really want!

I knew that. What astonishes me is that people care about them. I mean, ok, maybe if facials are involved...
Fortunately future phones won't have 5 minutes of battery life.
Everything is rape now. The word rape lost all of its meaning.
People want to see it, Pornhub wants to show what people want to see, what's their motivation to ban it without being forced?

Maybe people should stop screwing people they don't trust, I dare say that would solve this problem, and many others.
