    Well, whether small businesses are allowed to exist but not to thrive because of the state or because of large corporations ... if you're fucked, you're fucked, who cares who fucks you?

    You just explained what we obviously knew for at the very least 120 years, since it's basically the reason behind the Berne Convention.

    Did you just run out of stuff to say, or what's the motivation behind it?

  11. If I buy something, you deliver or my lawyer has a field day. Either's fine with me.

    You think spying on your child would allow you to avoid this? If anything could allow you to avoid this, it's your child actually trusting you. Which you certainly won't achieve by doing something that ultimately destroys that trust.

  13. Please die. And take your kids with you.

    Nope. It's definitely alcohol. Alcohol kills germs and is generally a preservative. Thus people last longer before perishing.

    I'd rather expect a rise of alcohol consumption with more feminist studies.

    Intel, I have no idea what bozo is responsible for this, but please do yourself and the world a favor and fire him. Out of a cannon. What this idiot managed to do with the "must not benchmark" bullshit was that everyone wants the benchmark results.

    This stupidity now makes sure that everyone can get them legally, too.

    Unless this microcode patch actually causes no performance hit, which would make it a great PR stunt, but is very unlikely considering what we've seen so far, this is about the worst kind of PR disaster you could possibly have gotten into.
