Or are you arguing that Ms MacDonald is performing an essential public service by correcting the exaggerations of her scientific staff and is just coincidentally benefitting herself and her allies?
If you're going to troll, you should probably stick to AC.
The local union here makes sure to argue that they spend at least the same number of hours as "regular" workers during the year due to marking, lesson planning, professional development, etc. This is to emphasize, of course, that they're underpaid.
I've lived in several places across the country (Canada) and this argument remains constant.
Plus there are a couple of territories agitating for full independence from Serbia: Kosovo and Metohija -- Albanians & Serbs Vojvodina -- Serbs & Hungarians
On the religion divide: Bosniaks -- mostly Muslim (Sunni and some Sufi) and Agnostic/Atheist Serbs -- mostly Orthodox Christian Croats -- mostly Roman Catholic
I'd also add that compared to many products of near or comparable age, e.g., vcrs, modern tvs, etc., computers and software are the among the few consumer devices that the user is asked to tolerate a high degree of unreliability, unintuitive/complex interfaces and/or a great deal of self maintenance/support -- not to mention the high degree of obsolescence without recourse for exchange/upgrade.
For those people that hope to regard computers as a tool that you configure/setup once and it'll just work, computers and software have been a huge letdown.

That's an interesting one -- I remember the ad campaigns in the financial mags that boasted their SUVs wouldn't fit in a standard garage. Never mind trying to park the damn things in ONLY ONE parking stall!

Considering that server OSs were examined, why no OpenBSD? Too "obvious"?
You're right -- based on previous examples we've seen here, the best business plan is not to sue the distributors, but to go after the end users.
Next up: Diebold sues the voters but allows quick settlements of $3000 each.
I'll have to make sure to wear my neckerchief...

I'd think that your customers might be more concerned about that hippy and the talking dog that follows you around in that weird green van you drive.
Yeah, yeah -- I know you like to call it an "ascot"

I do not agree...at all.

Hitachi's current product, the Mu-chip, has a supposed reading range of 400mm with a 54mm antenna.
Dunno what the proposed range and antenna requirements for the new chip will be.
Hmmm .... apparently a tin foil hat also impedes ones attention span.

Most certainly -- my mother-in-law has virtually none due to decades of housework.
But do you know they haven't placed a rootkit on the preinstalled Linux?
