had they not started trying to cover it up, I would agree that it was unintentional. Once they started a massive coverup, then I think we have only two options to consider. 1) They intentionally shot it down hoping to be able to pin it on the Ukrainians thus removing international support for the Ukrainians. 2) They unintentionally shot it down and are simply trying to not have to pay out for having caused the loss.
It is highly doubtful that Russia would have to bear any costs if they had only sold or given the equipment and did not have Russians operating it. My guess is that it was option 2 and the coverup is trying to hide the level of Russian involvement in the conflict.
The separatists did tell about it. They bragged in a few places about shooting down another Ukrainian cargo jet. Then they noticed it was an airliner and started backtracking.
"I have absolutely no knowledge of modern Russian politics" Hint: Putin was fairly high-level KGB so your knowledge of not-so-modern politics is probably still mainly relevant.
Yeah, nobody uses Windows or OSX. Kind of like the asshole elite media types that wonder how conservatives get elected because they don't know anyone that votes conservative. Look at the world around you and realize you inhabit an insignificantly small portion of it.
You know, sometimes people need to pay for stuff. have you ever actually asked yourself, honestly, what would happen if everyone was like me and expected everything for free? How often do you apply your "free" expectations to your life outside of technology? Food, gas, transportation, medical care, etc. Or do you truly never pay for those because you either steal it, jump the turnstile and live on welfare (let everyone else pay for you)?
"'Students who chose to independently use online instructional websites are also more likely to exhibit behaviors and traits associated with academic success and lifelong learning.'"
In other words, students who are more motivated to learn generally do better in academic settings and generally learn more. Glad we had a study to prove what we already know.
Next up. Study proves that practicing a sport can affect one's ability to perform in said sport.
If by discrimination you mean not giving out loans in geographical regions of cities that had 85%-plus default rates, then yes, you are correct. They recognized they were going to lose no matter the truth because nobody was willing to recognize the truth, so they caved.
If by deregulation you mean regulations that required the banks to come up with ways to make extremely risky loans look less risky then, no, it didn't work out so well.
"the abuser's traffic was cancelled as a measure of last resort until the abuse stopped" so it was a completely useless measure. Since the abuse would have been in the traffic, the abuse would stop as soon as the traffic was stopped so the traffic would then be immediately allowed again. Kind of useless.
Just like amazon.com and cabelas.com and walmart.com, etc are free to use and catalogs and advertising that companies mail to you are free to read. Even their brick and mortar stores are free to wander around in. If the game can be used without purchasing anything then the game is free and there was no fraud. I guess Europeans are simply too stupid to understand that when asked to purchase something that it won't be free in even the venue you are wandering around in is. Good thing they've hired a bunch of nannies to keep them safe.
And Microsoft cannot produce it because it is not theirs to produce. In other words, the Obama administration is trying to blackmail Microsoft employees to commit theft and/or other crimes.Nice honest folk you are defending.
The article's subtitle: "US says global reach needed to gut "fraudsters," "hackers," and "drug dealers."
From the article: "The Justice Department said global jurisdiction is necessary in an age when "electronic communications are used extensively by criminals of all types in the United States and abroad, from fraudsters to hackers to drug dealers, in furtherance of violations of US law." and "The e-mail the US authorities are seeking from Microsoft concerns a drug-trafficking investigation. Microsoft often stores e-mail on servers closest to the account holder."
The article is very clear about this being 3rd-party information stored by Microsoft while acting similar to an ISP.
No, the physical location of the "papers and effects" does matter. Warrants are required to search for them. We should expect electronic documents to be treated no differently than physical documents.
I think we agree that the US government has a few more hurdles to overcome than just asking Microsoft for it. I don't think we agree on whether the 3rd parties in question should have been using Microsoft to store their data. I'm saying US law really does not give the US government access to data Microsoft is storing in Europe for customers any more than it gives the US government access to data some European country stores in the same room.
We don't really care about the general reader. we are talking about the reader that is using information to make a hiring decision. Why would you want to work for someone that will treat you differently based on out-dated information?
This is exactly what Obama meant by fundamentally changing America. His fathers only goal was to see America destroyed and Obama openly wrote about inheriting the dreams of his father.

Or a 6-digit pin only has one million combinations to try so they just brute forced it.
And the article is specifically about Chicago which does allow them.

I'm not sure George ever gave his opinion about which side of that particular line he was on.
Yet only a small fraction as dense as a red state rep.
because Microsoft is more evil than Google so always keep repeating the lies to prove the "fact"
And Microsoft cannot produce it because it is not theirs to produce. In other words, the Obama administration is trying to blackmail Microsoft employees to commit theft and/or other crimes.Nice honest folk you are defending.
No, not every employer does that. Probably most don't.
Unless you are trying to make the claim that Microsoft is the drug-trafficker in question. That is a very convoluted reading of the article.

I think someone telling the world they need to make do with less should start making do with less.
Wisconsin and I know plenty of farmers. Weather forecasting is not nearly as useful as is being claimed.
