Beg is oft used as a synonym for ask. That evolved it into one of those common phrases that some people have a difficult time with -as if English was not their first language. It may be a regionalism, I've heard it, and it seems as if you have had prior experience with it yourself; Deal.
It's just my usual cut-and-paste, you're supposed to google it and see who actually said it.
That one really got me, that I wasn't allowed to plead no contest and they forced me to perjure myself, both with the actual guilty plea, and stating I had not been coerced or promised anything. I hate lying, but it got me out of a five year sentence for a crime that never occurred.
Actually its the lack of shade at the CAFOs that adds to the misery. Whoever thought of this research is exhibiting the same logic and insight that led them to perpetrate CAFOs in the first place. Cows can't be trained that way. Even I know cows well enough to know that.
Anti competitive business practices are felonious crimes and ruin innocent peoples lives.
The law wasn't actually written because of Microsoft's felonious activities, and there may very well not be a causative link between tax-subsidized American maize and the global demise of family farms.
Monsanto has control of most of the non-GMO seed market as well. If you want heirloom seed, chances are you'll be getting it from a subsidiary. A lot fucking scarier than Bill Gates.
Whilst not so young, before fooling with DOS, Windows 3.1, '95, '98, and (shudder) Me, my first OS experience was Win2K. I don't think Bill has enough cash to atone for the routine crash thing, and it scarcely even afflicted me personally. Were we always in such a rush to upgrade that the bazillion lines of code could not be debugged? What really chaps my hide is the DRM. I've never pirated so much as a Pop Song, yet I must grit my teeth and ignore my need to slap someone every time one of my Windows computers refuses to do suspicious tasks or has to stop and ask me if I'm ripping off Bill today. (And phones home every week to get the Mothership's verification.) I feel that dirtbags not paying the agreed upon price for software to be misdemeanorish, at worst, while abuse of monopoly and and anti-competitive practices are mostly felonious. Fuck Bill.

Clearly, they did not secretly spend as much as they should have, word on the street is that there might actually be Climate Change.
The names were the coolest part, I thought.
Not that there's anything wrong that that! but that isn't what most present-day people would probably want to see.
I do stand out in crowds.
Geography is beautiful. I made this my wallpaper yesterday.

The mind control is working.
I have attended jail in the capacity of the wrongfully convicted.
It sucked
You don't get to be convicted just because you probably committed some of a list of crimes.
So, in France, things are different than in the U.S.?
Is their CEO named Darl?
Woot!
First Tunguska, now this. Some folks are just lucky.
I wonder how many saw this coming and dove for cover. It doesn't take much to keep your skin from getting a flash burn. And for God's sake look away.
I've got RT on right now, that's why I checked/. to see what others were thinking. (everyone else sleeps 'til dawn around here.)
Full coverage.
The TF2 gamers that log on with a Linux box before March 1 get an exclusive item; Don't underestimate the power of tchotchkes!

This happened in the 1920-30s as well, without any help from the government.
Enough of us thought this was a bad thing that laws were passed to prevent it.
As for farms (where the hell did that come from?)
Ask a farmer if they've heard of Monsanto.
Don't feed the trolls.
Yeah, I'm done.
Okay, busted. It's all hype.

You got me.
Monsanto didn't put a kill switch in their seeds. They could have done.
They tried that one before, and it was actually rejected by the marketplace.
No.
Anti competitive business practices are felonious crimes and ruin innocent peoples lives. Some of us care. YMMV
I don't have any trouble getting seeds for my ten acre organic farm, probably different for the guy that grows your food.

/. is smarter than the average pond?

Somebody spends too much time studying at the feet of Master Jeff Rense.
Western Electric took their time and engineered a marvel of function. Too bad nobody bothered to save the tooling for those things.
A lot more engineering effort nowadays is rightly focused on the extremely profitable control of product life cycles.
I wonder what sort of volume Unicomp is doing lately?
