However, these legal fees only apply if they are being prosecuted for not complying with the law (when, and more importantly, if they are). Hiding "we're tracking you...

This is what still pisses me off about digital TV. If it's too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, too windy, too calm, third Tuesday after a conjunction of Saturn and Venus in the fourth house, or just felt like it, I get tearing and super loud ICK ACK ZZZXXK and I may as well turn it off and do something more entertaining instead, like undergoing root canal surgery without anaesthetic.

I can assure you all it was a lovely service and a fitting send-off. Not enough vol-au-vents at the wake, however. Maybe because some greedy gits went twice.
"Office developers have been wanting to write JavaScript custom functions for many reasons"
Mainly because they're assholes who will throw IT under the bus the second a routine they blithely copy-paste from some random site steals sensitive data.
I use a MBP at work and it staggers me that something that costs over two thousand pounds has such a shit keyboard. My aging ASUS laptop I have at home admittedly doesn't have a very good keyboard (for that I'd use the other half's ancient Dell Latitude) but it's like a breath of fresh air and a joy to use in comparison. Plus it has a hardware ESC key...
They did better than that. They have filed for bankruptcy to avoid pesky legal fees being anywhere near their billions and are currently trading as Emerdata, at the same address, doing the same business, with the same people in the same positions as CA, which was just a shell company anyway (so they could avoid tax).
As for "no answers in comments", I have found that is one of the most broken rules and usually the most informative responses have tended to be in the form of comments, so I really don't know what to tell you.
How about when you know the answer to someone else's question but you haven't got the reputation required to even comment because you haven't asked anything?
Case in point: a few years back, nowhere was there details on what the quota exceeded error thrown when you try to set a local storage value in Incognito mode was all about. There was a very obscure bit of documentation buried in Apples site (plus it was incomplete). There was a question but no answer, only snarky comments about using localStorage in the first place. I knew the answer but couldn't give it.
Three years went by and then some high rep user posted (verbatim) Apple's documentation paragraph and got shedloads of XP for it, even though it still didn't answer the original question.
I call it XP as that is what it is, a game. And I couldn't even play it. So fuck it, I'll leech answers (when they are actually correct) and contribute nothing to a site that doesn't want me in their clique.
Hope he was travelling north, otherwise he'd have got to the Magic Roundabout. Most drivers can't negotiate that safely, so there's no way an autopilot could.
If you were idiotic enough to go for a registrar that charged you extra for private registration out of the myriad available, that's on you. Yeah, you got stiffed.
I've had private registration, by default, all the time with GANDI.net for all my domains. Yes, they're a European registrar. No, it cost me nothing. If I wanted the details public, I'd have to go into the admin and specifically turn off the privacy setting.
You _should_ be able to explain it, yes. But how many get the opportunity? Employer looks at resume or does a bit of due diligence and discovers the conviction. Your application is immediately round filed. Thus you are branded for life when a 1 minute conversation on how you were a dumb kid would sort this out.
So you get blackballed for life for some shoplifting. It doesn't matter that you were penniless, on the streets and starving when you did it, you're a disgusting felon who should just go die somewhere else and never think you could be part of society ever again. Yeah, that means you don't get that job as a roadsweeper. Get your punk ass out before I have you arrested for trespassing.
That is the attitude you portray. And fuck you for it, along with anybody else that espouses it.
This is nothing to do with the decision to find them guilty. That is not in dispute. This is about Google making public data that is classified secret by legislation. However, because it is personal data, and not the usual kind that would have the classification (like, say, a program of viral outbreak containment) the government isn't interested in the breach.

> Now, the government says the cost of sharing the data has grown as more people access it
I'll bet it is running on some pay-through-the-nose hosting and they can't be bothered to even do a cost analysis of hosting it somewhere cheaper.

This is like a Puerto Rican moving to mainland US. Got a problem with that?

YouTube removes videos without an explanation aside from an implied "because fuck you, that's why". News at 11.
YouTube rejects the appeal for reason given above. News is still at 11.
Oddly, I couldn't. No idea why.

Then I'll be settling back with an extra large tub of tax-deductible popcorn to enjoy the show.
Dissembling is correct.

I got caught shoplifting as a kid and I can't get a job in fintech nearly thirty years later because I was an idiot. So fuck you right back, asshole.
