You're still thinking about it like a citizen of a super power, which is why you're wrong.
What they are doing instead is mess up your investments in their country and make it much harder for you to do business with them. See, when it comes to trade, small countries are the ones who need the trade far more than superpowers. Superpowers can limit trade in unofficial ways very easily with minimal damage for them and maximum effect for small countries targeted.
By that logic, US is not a democracy. It's a one party state with two branches of the same party competing, and people only getting to vote for candidates pre-selected by elite of the each branch.
China is. As is US. In general, when you're dealing with super power while not being one, it makes no sense politically, economically or militarily to piss them off for no good reason.
It may be a difficult answer to swallow for someone who is used to live in a super power. But those of us who don't will understand this very well, simply because we have been bending over to US interests when really pushed for the same reason. Take a look at case Snowden. Surely, US has no right to dictate who governments accept as a refugee because that person is persecuted for politically motivated reasons?
In reality on the other hand, it does. The only one who could realistically take him was Russia. And look where it got them with US.
They typically do one eye at a time, wait for it to fully heal and then do the other. This is specifically so that you have vision from at least one eye at all times, and so that even with worst possible complications, you'll still have one eye worth of vision.
They are fully allowed to refuse service if the person is acting like an asshole and demanding rights he has no actual right to. As happened in this case.
That is indeed the most logical conclusion. He probably threatened her a few times to call everyone except maybe the company president, and after that didn't work he likely told her as he was leaving that would post an angry tweet about it.
She popped her phone, did a search and owned the guy on the spot.
I'm positively covered in sweat. Truly a panic attack.
No wait, it's this damn heatwave that's been here for weeks. I couldn't care less about the issue itself. It's the that I'm tired of unstoppable whining of your types about adblock and ghostery.
According to NSA's current spying policy, it's pretty clear that they see that world has two kinds of people in it. Those who have been found to be terrorists, and those who haven't been found to be terrorists yet.
One of the most revolutionary aspects of Western sense of justice has been presumption of innocence. Throughout the history, presumption of guilt was far more common in justice systems everywhere. That's why the most common way to question suspects was torture.
This is simply the security and justice apparatus degrading into it's more natural state due to lack of stringent oversight.
A US comedy show did a funny test. They took a Casio wrist watch, glued apple logo onto it and then took it to the street saying "this is the new much talked about apple watch, can you please list things about it that you like?"
Most people who said they'd buy it were pretty straight about it. The thing they liked was "apple logo on it".
Almost all modern games offer DX11 rendering path nowadays, often with massive graphical improvements. Quite a few AAA titles no longer offer DX9 rendering path, which means that you can't even run them on XP any more.
Latter is what forced me to upgrade - I wanted to play BF3.
So your argument is that you're apple is "meaningful" because it sells "one size fits all" computers instead of tailoring each system for person's needs, overpricing them massively because of apple brand and collecting massive profits because about 5-7% of people buying PCs are willing to pay that much more for the logo.
I would argue on the same merits that it's the exact opposite. That's what makes apple less meaningful in desktop world.
Most people never need this option to spawn single 7 disk over multiple computers. And in event of a critical fuck up, you can always either call MS to have your OEM version reset, and if that doesn't work, just crack it.

Austria isn't a super power.

He's living in a world where he's marketing his services to companies that sell to those masses. Not those few.
Professionals who handle security for those few don't advertise their work like this.

I think most of us would settle for the ending of HL2 at this point.
It's reusable. Very green. Gets you government subsidies!
Because he is already acting like an ass and calling everyone who doesn't cowtow "bitch"?

Unless she's trans of course, in which case she's a dick!
That just sets you up for the obvious "so it's just like US?" finisher :D

It takes pants on the head kind of crazy to make up reasons like these just to justify one's convictions.
In other words, you actually agree with my point, but in a very roundabout and dismissive way.
I'll take what I can get I guess :D
Selling land on the moon is >>> that way.

But does it bring you coffee to bed and wake you up with a blowjob?
Considering all this shilling, I think you certainly earned it!
Which is why essentially all games that run on both XP and 7 list system requirements in the following fashion:
XP: X gigs of RAM.
7: X+1 gigs of RAM.
Clearly, they're hating on 7. It's not like it has a massively larger system overhead. Honest!

He tried. But Chinese culture survived those worse than him.
Just because they put a slightly different shade of lipstick on the pig that was 8, doesn't make it any more suitable for being a human being.
