Given the spate of breathtakingly prejudiced flag-waving verdicts that have been coming out of US courts recently, is it any wonder that Mexico feels comfortable with trying to carve itself a slice of the pie?
And why shouldn't they? If US justice just means doing some token table pounding and then awarding a win to the home team, then you do not - you do not - get to question the integrity of foreign courts.
Can I have some of that to get me through the day?
Our customers use Linux and Solaris, and that's what I develop for. I have to do it from a crippled VM inside Windows 7 though, because our corporate policy is Windows Uber Alles. Every day I die a little on the inside.
Have just successfully argued that Samsung can't get an injunction against Microsoft products because blah blah financial remedy table pound, say, Your Honor, y'all hail from Seattle, right?
I wish Ericsson all that they deserve to get from lying down with rats.
Kimchi isn't "food", it's an ordeal intended to toughen them up through intestinal Darwinism.
I spend 3 months in Seoul working with (surprise surprise) Samsung, and I'd be dead now if it wasn't for Pringles.
As to the drinking culture, I went out once, moderated my intake, and after that just clocked off at the end of the day and left them to it. If more Koreans had the balls to tell their superannuated corporate despots to do one, they wouldn't have such a problem with it.
But since my #1 required feature is "not randomly crashing out, sometimes ten seconds after startup", I'm now writing this via Chrome. Too bad you couldn't stick to your original vision: small, fast, stable.
You can't do anything about it. Your elected representative's real constituency are his corporate "campaign contributors". You get your electricity off the grid, and your Frankenburgers and Slave Labour Shoes from the Buy-N-Large. Very few of us can afford to effect change through purchasing decisions, certainly not enough to be significant.
So why worry? What are you achieving, other than to raise your blood pressure? Massive protests didn't stop the War on Eastasia, nor did Occupy bring down the 1%.
Ignorance is bliss, but don't ponder that too hard.
Unlike everyone else in the military then, since none of them pick up ribbons and medals with the same frequency, inevitability and significance as civvies pick up coughs and rashes.
Oh, sir, I do protest. A lawyer would never stoop to anything as productive as reaping or sowing. I'm led to believe that Abe Lincoln hunted vampires though, which is kind of a bloodsucker showdown.
14,800,000 people just received the order to "Buy a SURFACE" from their witch-queen.
14.8 of those people then went on to hear and understood and care that it was a shoddy astroturf.
Now, how many Americans choose to use Linux on the desktop? If it's fewer than 15 million, then I guess they don't really matter, right?
The crib notes are that we're engaged in a battle to save the general purpose computing device for nerds of the future. Every time someone chooses to buy a locked down, walled garden device, that's another slither down the slippery slope to Right To Readville.
Numbers matter. This matters. Maybe you don't think so, but your kids might, with hindsight.

A customer asked us recently if we could recover some of their passwords stored (hashed) on our system.
"Sure we can, if you used really poor passwords."
Indeed, the trademark and copyright violation is strong in this one.

Give it up, eh? These "stories" are coming from Hogan himself. Was he lying then, or is he lying now? Actually, it could be both.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.
Free Dmitry Sklyarov shirt, and a sharpie.
Another problem is the insatiable desire of humans to live. Pesky meat units.
You do realise that you posted that "You know, man, like, business, man" screed using a series of tubes overwhelmingly powered by fossil fuels, right?
Yes, because humans are completely incapable of adapting to a changing environment. I totally remember when the last glacial period wiped us all out.
Things change. We change. Things go on. We go on.
If you want to collapse civilisation, stop using fossil fuels. That'll do it.
Deodorant companies tell me that I stink.

The guy who actually has it is going to be so rich that he's living on his own private moonbase with a harem of Scarlett Jonannson clones.
You are not going to get better by taking free advice from smelly hippies and Doctor Trollface.
Well, when you're down to penny stock, any change looks significant.

Yehbut... Apple started it.
Did too.
Is 2008 "history"? 8 year old denied divorce from her 58 year old husband. Our friends and allies, give them a hand, folks.
"Back then" isn't the problem. It's that it's still considered normal now, and always will be as long as Sharia exists.
Care to take a guess at the age of consent in Saudi Arabia?
SPOILER: any answer is wrong. There is no age of consent in Saudi Arabia.
Here's an 8 year old being told that she can't divorce her 58 year old husband. That's from 2008, which I guess is technically "back then" for very strict definitions. You'll just love the reason why the case was rejected, by the way.
If you married into a Muslim family, then they're exceptional, not average.
Metric or Imperial licks?

To be fair, many of those children would have grown up to become Hitler.
