    And I hope FireEye isn't trying to claim to be some kind of hero in this. The timing of their "revelation" is highly suspicious.

    They are not "outliers". It is common practice. Most of them don't make the headlines. That is what "limited liability" is all about, to diffuse blame. Your double standards are unacceptable.

    Nice troll! I like it!

    I can very easily prove what I say, because formal methods are something I am very, very good at.

    You should be rich then, and making headlines. Pretty good at blowing your own horn, aren't ya?

  16. if your movie fails commercially, blaming rotten tomatoes makes for a convenient scapegoat.

    Well, that and piracy.

    The same thing is happening in politics also. A book just came out on the subject. Passing blame is ubiquitous.

    Despite your lame trolling there, yes, that is capitalism. Government is just another player, more of a servant to our corporate friends than master. That's why they get bailed out. Don't want that campaign funding to dry up now, do we?

    Google is just a company, like most corporations today. There is little concern about people, it's all about profit. If people get hurt, so what as long as investors get a return.

    Remember, capitalism is all about what the *market will bear*. And the "market" has no respect for the individual, never did. It is a collective, like communism, and Google et al is the politburo

  19. Sorry, you would need a lawyer for that. The whole point of the chatbot and small claims is to avoid that necessity, and to get a better deal than any class action can bring you. Of course it would provoke a bankruptcy if a lot of people go for it, which would be unfortunate is it was granted. The best thing would be a revocation of the corporate charter and all assets seized and distributed, including personal assets of those in charge. And make them do community service also. We need our pound of flesh when this happens.

    No...it applies to everyone.

    In theory... But it is not being applied to everyone. Some people are rich enough to hide behind their corporate charter. Carl Icahn is my favorite example. There are many others. So that part of the issue is very relevant, no matter how you try to evade it. If you don't apply the rules to everyone, don't expect any respect for them. Right or wrong, people will follow the example, not the word. It's part of of our animal heritage.

    You are making up distinctions without a difference. There is nothing honest about the usury practiced by the banks either. And let's not get started on the insurance, energy, transport, communications, agriculture, housing, etc. These are the are the people the government serves, or the politicians wouldn't be getting the massive campaign "contributions". We are ruled by the merchant class and financial industry. The ballot is the consent form. You are clouded by Ayn Rand's voodoo.
