Well, yeah. Companies are created by and run by people, and as such, they reflect the tendencies of their creators.
Who do you know that never lies? That never has cheated at anything. Being outraged that companies reflect the people who created them is kind of silly. Homo sapiens is a flawed species in many ways, and his creations, as products of his mind, are going to reflect those flaws.

Don't be saying that! Next thing you know, the conspiritards will say that climate change press releases are being hyped up in order to encourage funding!
In the USA, generally, hourly employees whose travel is required for the job must be paid for their travel time, with the exception of home to work (and work to home).
No one is required to cast a vote for everything on the ballot. Not voting for a certain office/question/proposition/etc is called an "undervote". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
> In the US you can always write in a candidate of your choosing. Now, some people like to protest vote for Mickey Mouse, or various other inanimate objects. However if you were to vote for someone who was eligible to run who was not on the ballot, and they pulled in more votes than anyone else, they would be the winner.
YMMV. In many jurisdictions (if not most) there is a list of pre-qualified write in candidates. I shit you not. Google "qualified write-in list" (with the quotes) for a bunch of examples. Sure, you can write in anyone you want, but if they are not on the list, it will not get counted.
Here is one example, from San Francisco: (http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/11/05/18725142.php)
For voters who wish to cast their vote for candidates other than the ones printed on the ballot in San Francisco-- they need to know that they are still limited to a few official write-in candidate names if their vote is to be counted.

I have no doubt you actually believe that horseshit. That statement makes some of the more hilarious proclaimations Christians are so fond of saying seem rational and reasonable in comparison.
I hear that. I have 1mb/s myself, although it is not shared. If I see one more nimrod here bitching about "ridiclously absurd upload speeds of 25mbs" or some such, I think I'm going to have to shoot somebody.
Beyond the fact that I was obviously referring to Slashdot calling it a "mini-internet", the article said no such thing. They said that they can't keep it secret. Not that they "do not wish" to keep it secret.
No need to bring Miranda into it. Before you are arrested, anything you say can be used against you, even if you have not been Mirandized. It is only after arrest that Miranda is an issue.
> And then the public defender you're assigned because you can't afford a decent lawyer
Hold on just a second. There are many fine public defenders who happen to be far better than just "decent". They will not, however, be able to dedicate much time to your case. THAT is the issue with many PD's. Not that they suck or are not "decent" but that they are over worked.
Your faith in the security of VM sandboxes is misplaced.
It is trivial to write a program which can detect if it is in a VM. And then, attack the hypervisor and escape the protected environment. As virtualization has become more common, such malware has gone from academic exercises to real-world exploits.

Compared to Patton Oswalt^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^... I mean Elena Kagan and the 'wise latina', Garland was practically a right winger.
The GOP didn't "roll the dice". They knew what was going to happen because Trump has a time machine

Scratch that. Looks like most states have restrictions.

Note that there are seven states which do not allow write-ins for president at all.

TFA article says nothing of the sort, actually. It's TF submitter. Slashdot, of course, simply copy-pastes anything Hugh says.

AP Headline: "Cuban youth build secret computer network despite Wi-Fi ban "
Slashdot: "Young Cubans Set Up Mini-Internet".
"Mini-Internet" huh, Slashdot. My how far this site has degraded, when the mass media's headline are more accurate and less pandering.
You're right. From now on I'll refer to them using terms more appropriate for them. "Fags".

How do you think a cop infiltrating a gang like, for example, the Hells Angels, gains their trust?
Also, and undercover cop can smoke a bowl with you and still arrest your ass for having/selling/using.

> I'm fine with (cops lying to people)
If you or I lie to a cop, we can get charged with obstruction of justice. If they lie to us, they can get a commonadation.
And you're "fine" with that.
Some days it's easier to be a misanthrope than others. This is one of those days. Fuck you.
Oh look! An advertisement from 1906 calling copyright infringers "pirates".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Using teh term "pirates" to refer to copyright infringers is nothing new.
Bitching about it, however, is.

My favorite line:
With virtualization becoming more and more common
The use of the word "pirate" to denote a copyright infringer is not a Microsoft invention.
