>People have been on TV saying that they voted because of racism.
This is called selection bias. Journalists are quite happy to portray the average white guy as racist - haven't you noticed? So they mostly air the racist comments and throw out the other ones. What you thought journalists ensured a homogenized, representative sample of what they broadcast? LOL
Or a low level buzz saw attachment. The robot could also say "Exterminate! Exterminate!" over a speaker system. That should encourage the parents to keep the kids away.
Downloading the show that I missed last night on the cable service I pay for is cheating content providers out of their fair share! They are entitled to an extra $15 just because I have to work when they choose to air their show!
I am sure if you write a check to the government as a donation to the revenue service they will more than happily accept it. Therefore why are YOU avoiding tax? You still have money. Give it to them. Tax avoidance is avoiding paying taxes which you do not have to pay. Only an idiot pays something he doesn't have to. I like to charge a comment reading fee. Feel free to pay it if you want, too.
Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is not. Although if you have been paying attention in the past few years there is a huge and growing movement to criminalize tax avoidance, too, ever since the Cyprus problem. It's because politicians have had a look at the huge pile of money out of their reach, and they feel they are entitled to a slice of that, too.
They do. Here is an example. This family is under suspicion - note SUSPICION - of money laundering. There has been no trial. Nothing has been proven. Their name simply turned up in the "Panama papers" a few months ago, and the US Treasury department must have already had their eye on them so they simply issued a statement. Due to that statement, all the credit card companies immediately dropped their services to businesses owned by this family.
The result is a large, successful shopping mall is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy because they owned both the mall and half the stores in it. The mall cannot collect payment from its customers. The stores can no longer accept credit cards. Oh they still accept cash, but I doubt stores the likes of Gucci, Prada and Luis Vuitton are going to walk to the mall and pay their rent in cash. It is a very high end shopping mall.
Since the mall almost went bankrupt, the US Treasury department struck a deal to allow the suspected family to "wind down" operations in an orderly fashion, so the mall now accepts credit cards again. So do pay attention to this. The UNITED STATES TREASURY is applying US law in Panama, telling Panamanian banks what to do, giving authorizations and citing US law, etc. And again I repeat this is merely "suspicion" on the part of the US government. There has been no trial, no sentencing. I'm not saying the Waked family are nice guys or 100% legit. What I AM saying is due process is out the window. Make no mistake, you cannot run and hide from US law even in another country.
Want to bet? I've lived in Costa Rica and Panama for the past 30 years. I have no illusions that the US has its finger in EVERY pie. If a foreign bank wants to do business in or with the US, it is going to be forced to play by the rules. PERIOD. It's how the US operates. Do as we say, or we pull your aid package, we cancel our trade agreement, we withhold those millions we were going to give you to help fight the "war on drugs" etc, etc etc. Only major players like Russia or China are tough enough to keep the Americans out of their financial data - but then they're mining it themselves. Hell even Switzerland, Cyprus or the Caymans aren't sacred anymore.
I won't. They happen to fix my wifi coverage problem nicely and are on my side of the network, so good luck to anyone who wants to "hack" in. I won't invite them to my house anymore.
Racist? So it's a fabrication that "traditional Chinese medicine" uses a lot of weird shit to make impossible claims? Is it completely untrue that many Chinese still eat animals people in the West might consider pets? These are all fabrications? LIGHTEN UP A LITTLE. Or go hide in your safe space.
Of course you'd like to think the Chinese wish to be the first to contact aliens to ensure that a cultured, civilized race be the first to make contact. The real reason, however, is they want to be the first to find out if ground up alien pseudo-pods increase your libido and if alien tastes better than cat.

Because movies are in the same category as food and transport.
>I pay $9.50 a month for Netflix and it is better than either HBO, Showtime or Starz.
That's not because Netflix is particularly good. It's because HBO, Showtime, etc are absolute shit nowadays.
Mad max was also filmed in actual colors, not that horrible blue-gray dreary palette that makes everything look dark and all movies look the same.
while normally selling the excess power very cheaply
I think you misunderstand how monopolies work.
Fine Newt. So what is the penalty for THIS?

Any child psychologist would be very worried about a child that age who never cries. What horrors are the parents inflicting on him at home?

I only care when I want to zoom into Natalie Portman's [censored], but don't want to pay extra for that.
Yeah, you have to zoom in quite a lot. The [censored] can get pretty pixelated.

Buddy you don't even know me. But you seem to know a lot about me. Maybe what you are angry with is actually inside your head.

On what grounds exactly did the US extradite him from Romania then, if apparently he didn't do anything?
It was called Lync. Which Microsoft canned, so that they can push this shit onto people.
That day when someone steals the security robot...
Maybe she needs to be broken up into a number of smaller Hillaries, each one just small enough that it can be jailed.
There used to be a judicial process for that. Oh yeah.
I won't. They happen to fix my wifi coverage problem nicely and are on my side of the network, so good luck to anyone who wants to "hack" in. I won't invite them to my house anymore.
I use TP-LINK network bridges. There are other people in the world besides yourself.
You must be proud. But you realize no one watches that show anymore, right? That's what "low ratings" means. So go ahead, celebrate your "victory".

Think about it all you want, that doesn't mate it "news for nerds".
