  1. That goes without saying. Anyone who really understood how the market would behave wouldn't be blabbing about it for free on the internet. Instead they'd be keeping their mouth shut and buying and selling stocks and getting progressively more wealthy.

    I don't think it's much of a secret that when there are two main competitors in a market and one of them has a spectacular fail, the competition will primarily gain from it.

    The people who work for them are at-will employees and can leave anytime they like. Temp workers are probably grateful for the extra holiday hours as well, or I'm guessing they'd not be accepting temp work.

    I stand ready to defect to a more altruistic company as soon as someone builds a better moustrap.

    Thank you kind sir, we await your recommendation for reasonable alternatives to Amazon which treat their employees like royalty.

    Or there is not a difficulty in turning a profit without paying the license costs, so they don't pay them.

  8. My parents bought a new pickup with a fancy navigation system, but according to TFP, they have to subscribe to something to use it, so they don't use it. They use a road atlas when they aren't asking people to get off their lawn.

    Are they correct? Is it perception or does it truly require a subscription? I suppose at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Perception is reality.

    It's totally legitimate to contrast the pooh-poohing of Samsung completely abandoning a flagship product over safety problems with how Slashdot would be reacting if this were Apple

    I agree. An immobilized government is not going to take away and additional freedoms, which is the best we can hope for.

    She sounds like the kid who got caught accusing the kid who told of tattling.

    Yes, when your lab company has vacated its results, had to close all its labs, and you personally are banned by the FDA from operating or managing a lab, I'd say it might be time for investors to look at their options.

    That's non-justice. I did not receive what was due. It's the absence of justice, not the presence of injustice.

    If I did receive justice, I can hardly complain about it because I am guilty. What happens to others has no bearing on whether I am receiving justice or not.
