how about the 40-hour work week? Holiday pay? Vacations?
All made possible by the increase in the productivity of labor due to capital investment, and the need for employers to compete to obtain labor. Unions are nothing but rent-seeking parasites.
The grad student union at my university is responsible for me having health insurance.
More like, they took credit for it. The people actually responsible for it are those who paid for it, which is some combination of yourself, your employer, and the students who pay tuition to the school.
Yeah, like your right to pay for hookers and blow for mobsters and politicians, and your right to have one more massive blood-sucking operation slicing a chunk off your paycheck?
Apple could buy or merge with Intel, and then announce "x86, end of life, ten years. Merry Christmas, AMD." That would be the end of Microsoft, since nobody ever wanted Windows on anything other than x86.
Meanwhile, if Apple used Intel's fab for all of their processors, they could reduce their power consumption at a much faster pace than they're already doing. I'd love to get 20 hours of operation per charge from an iPad.
Please be a bit more precise. We're talking about the American government, not the country. Most ordinary Americans would be appalled if they fully understood the extent of their government's crimes.
You are so full of shit, the whites of your eyes have turned brown. Snowden took great personal risk to let us know about billions of instances of crimes committed by our government. The fourth amendment is not ambiguous.
I've noticed that as well, and I was wondering whether NSA has bots or minions to do that for them. Or maybe, they sub out the work to the Scientologists, who always did a lot of that, too.
Say what? According to the account she wrote on her blog, she had a black eye. Something physical went down. Has the guy she's accused written up any rebuttal to her charges?
Discussing the requests openly, either within or beyond the walls of an involved company, can violate federal law
Any act of congress that purports to deny our freedom of speech is not a law at all, but a usurpation. Congress has no power to trump the constitution.
I guess they've decided to abandon all pretense of upholding our civil rights, and have decided to dedicate themselves to inventing ever more asinine pretensions to claim that the bill of rights doesn't say what it says.

They do these things in your name.
Since I do all I can to oppose them, I am not responsible for their claims of acting on my behalf.

coca farmer look-alike.
I wouldn't know what coca farmers look like, since I've never been in CIA covert ops.
Keep trying, spinbot. You're just making yourself and your masters look more stupid by the minute.

It would take less than 10 years for MS to covert all their apps to non-x86 platforms
Been there, done that, failed miserably. Remember Windows NT for SPARC, Alpha, etc, etc? Remember all the people not buying it?
MS is all about the legacy.

Right now all we have are the accusations of one man who, by the way, has his own agenda.
Nice try, spinbot, but we don't just have his accusations, we have a vast amount of DATA that he delivered to news organizations.
Now fuck off and polish that bullshit off your jackboots.

You don't think it benefits our country for the people to know when our government commits crimes?
