In this case I have a hard time thinking that any allegations would be true. Goodman is one of the few real journalists left that the US has that get some reasonable coverage. I wish we had someone like her on the other end of the political spectrum, too, because she's a bit too far left leaning for my personal tastes, but I have to give her that, she does a good job and she's playing by the rules.
No, it's new problems that were not existing in such a way before, and for those problems new solutions had to be found, because old solutions did not apply.
I may not be entitled to carry my phone in, but neither are they entitled to me accepting their rules. I can simply turn around and decide that treating me like a criminal is not a good way to start a business relationship with me.
Second-hand cellphone sellers report a surge in the purchase of second hand phones. "The trend is clearly towards people wanting a second phone" they say, surprised themselves by the development.
Quite frankly, everyone I know wants to move AWAY from Windows 10 and TOWARDS Linux, with their only problem being that certain Windows programs don't run nicely on Linux, and that certain hardware only has Windows support.
I can only say that it sure ain't the Chinese that are trying to keep their space achievements a secret. Quite the opposite. It's true that they do it in a similar fashion the Russians did, i.e. only announce them when they succeed and try to hush up everything that bombs (literally or figuratively), but the have never been shy to broadcast whenever they passed a wind that made it into orbit.
Putting men into orbit and on the moon had no immediately applicable results. No, we didn't get rich off the moon rocks we got home. But what happened during this time caused the US to lead the economy for decades after. It forced us to come up with new solution to new problems, the US made progress that's been seen before only in times of war when innovation was crucial for survival. And all that without the bloodshed.
There were huge leaps ahead in metallurgy, propulsion, computers, electronics, medicine and a lot of other fields, but this also marked the beginning of key elements that we today consider cornerstones of efficiency, from process management to risk management and disaster recovery procedures.
So believe it or not, launching people into orbit has its merits. It forces you to solve problems that do have very real applications down here on our planet.
This is more like the Formula One cars of the late 1960s. 300 HP engines and drum brakes on a set of wheels fit for a bicycle, attached to a flimsy steel-tube frame, what could possibly go wrong?
I buy my games, don't worry. But I, and only I decide what games are worth my money. You insert always-online DRM into your games? Or anything else that I do not agree with? Then I will have to do without your game and you will have to do without my money.
That's normal in most of the EU, at least in the western countries. Austria, for example, until recently had 6 cell phone providers (I think 3 of them are left now, I didn't keep up with the consolidation), and we're talking about a country that's roughly the size of Maine. That's why cell plans with flatrates are suddenly possible for 20-30 bucks a month.
Most large cities have about as many major ISPs competing with some smaller resellers battling over the bottom of the barrel. That's why you can even get things like 150/30 for 60ish bucks in some areas, with government programs trying to get 100/100 speeds into rural areas where they are "suffering" from "mere" 30/6 speeds.
When every yahoo in your segment fires up bittorrent and your voip starts to stutter, your ISP is overselling too much and it's time to switch ISPs or it's time for your ISP to upgrade his connectivity.

Hey! Stop saying something without sugarcoating it, do you want to get arrested?

Well, dick measuring is probably the only motivation right now to do it, so...
Long distance?
If you had Chinese for launch, you sure don't want any to diner.

Put the label on the pile back there.
Funny. Almost the same was said in the 1990s about their manufacturing ability.
A bit, yes...
Could you write a bit bigger, by the way?
Every time I hear "synergy" or have to sit through a bullshit bingo talk, I can't help but think of this.
I have actually been to speeches that sound like someone just read those lyrics word by word.

It is that simple.
Hey people, I found the UbiSoft shill!
Or was it EA?
And you let your bartender take pictures of it too?
Fuck knows we were looking for it so we could sell it to you!
A bottle of vodka per three soldiers. Tradition is important, too!
Damn, I knew there was something important I was forgetting.
The way I see it I'm no longer bound by a contract the other side violated first.

Capitalism and anti-monopoly governments ftw!
