Clearly, you are wrong, as much as you want your Glorious Leader to win this fight, he will lose this one just like he has lost so many in the courts, because there are still some justices in the US courts attempting to maintain the Rule of Law.
The ECJ can order Google to delete data not stored on European servers because Google operates in Europe. Google can always say "fuck off", just like MS can, but then sanctions will be brought against the entity incorporated *in that jurisdiction*, in accordance with law.
Incorrect. They cannot, Google hasn't deleted anything on servers outside the EU, and they even provide the links and cache to users outside of the EU's jurisdiction. That's how it works.
Your remarkably disingenuous or ignorant TPB citation has to do with foreign jurisdictions trying to force a foreign entity to do something.
Yes, it does. Read it again. TPB's response is to all the jurisdictions trying to force them to do something. I don't know how else you could read it. Comprehension: FAIL.
Second, Metro is actually pretty decent when you figure out how the keyboard shortcuts (win-key +s for searching, alt-tab to switch windows, alt-f4 to shut a window, etc.). But it's pretty awful if you go at it with a mouse -- and MS did not, at all, make this clear.
First, it's not called "Metro" - that was an internal code-name. Microsoft calls it "Modern UI". That's the name of the Start screen / Tiles paradigm. Second, those keyboard shortcuts were available since Windows XP, it's nothing new. But all the win-key shortcuts are useless if you don't have a Windows Keytm. And the "hot corners" are pretty awful. Sometimes they just won't pop-up or take forever, and it's much worse if you're in an RDP session. The Start *button* DOES help with that.
What most people that have tried it haven't noticed yet is all the stuff that gone or broken. Windows backup? Gone. Get used to File History - and adding a bunch of folders to your "Libraries", because that's the only place File History checks. There is no way to set preferred wireless networks. No more "Home", "Work", or "Public" networks, just "Private" and "Public". That's cool - but Windows decides by itself which one it is. And if it guesses wrong? The only way to fix is dig through the registry and figure out the right numeric to use for the right network connection. VERY annoying if Windows guesses your company's VPN is a "Public" network.
Don't even get me started on "Windows account" logons, OneDrive, and Media Center.
Not necessarily. 8.2 means : ok we heard you, we fixed the mess, here is the correct version. 9.0 means : preceding version was ok, now here is a new one, which will be good trust me.
If the company has access to them and the ability to procure them, what does the physical location of the records or their headquarters matter?
Uhhh... because jurisdiction?
The IRS cannot go after Google's tax-free bank account in the Bahamas - why does the DOJ get to go after Microsoft's data in Dublin? If the release of the information is illegal in the EU, how does US law claim supremacy to laws that apply in Dublin? Maybe Mr. Holder should head over there and swear out a warrant with the local magistrate.
You don't understaaaaaaand! We signed away our Constitutional rights because the Republicans promised this would only be used against drug lords and pedophiles! It's not fair!
But, they claim that's what they're doing:
US says global reach needed to gut "fraudsters," "hackers," and "drug dealers."
... so they need access to your hotmail account. You'll feel safer then, won't you?
So we should use gold because we expect our government to fail tomorrow?
Only one of those governments "failed", AK, (the Confederacy), otherwise the failure of the currency was not related to the failure or success of the government. The Papiermark was replaced by the Rentenmark under the same government. The Continental was the first attempt at fiat money by the neophyte US government. They corrected that with the Constitution by using commodity medals as the official medium of exchanged. US Dollars were backed by commodity metals until the end of Bretton Woods in 1971. The French Assignat also failed while the government persisted. And these are just a few examples, and there are many.
Indeed, you have it backwards with your little quip. If anything, a nations' monetary policy can cause the government to fail, not the other way around. So it should be "we should support the use of sound money, because we don't want our government to fail tomorrow."
I'm pretty sure this isn't limited to any particular country.
No, it's pretty much every country using fiat currency controlled by a central bank. In Europe, the central bank isn't even affiliated with any one country, it's a stand-alone financial entity that the countries have "agreed" to obey.
...and the government passes on the costs of maintaining the cash system on to the people. Via taxes. The truth is that nothing is free and if you get something you will have to pay for it one way or another.
And the Fed controls the money supply, and taxes Americans even more using inflation.
The schools/government should not be using these high end devices they are totally unnecessary.
Dude... NSA tracking. Plus administrator spying. We need to keep track of these kids, so we can arrest them for child pornography when they take pictures of themselves.
yes and no... Unions that actually do their job protect jobs are good BUT there are too many unions that are just as corrupt as the government and the Corporations that they fight against.
What are you talking about? Unions are GREAT! Without a union, workers are subject to exploitation by corporations. With a union, you get to be exploited by corporations AND unions! It's a double-tap!
Unions are the reason your happy ass has any kind of protection at work. Strong unions mean a strong America and there is a direct relationship between our dwindling middle class and the leaching of union power.
Seriously - why?... Where does the other $6,000 go - for the first year?
It goes to the equipment the NSA needs to collect all the data, connect it with the students and their parents and their home computers, and record and store all the communication that happens. Duh.
How can any nation grant right over something outside its sovereignty?
This just codifies a long-standing common law treatment of international resources. Anyone from any country can take their ship into international waters and gather resources. Once the fish / kelp / crab / whatever is aboard the ship, it's their property. This just says we should treat space resources the same way.
They can sound hurt all they want that OpenDNS and Cisco and Microsoft wrote public blogs or took action rather than reporting the individual offenders to No-IP first.
Really? What about all their legitimate customers? Just "collateral damage", all worth the cost? Most of their customers use their free services, they only have a staff of *12* people. Of COURSE they want help getting reports of abuse. And the *DO* respond to those quickly and appropriately.
What Microsoft did was unconscionable. It's like some vigilantes wanted to put an end to shootings in South Side Chicago, but instead of reporting all the shooters to police, they just decided to set off a nuke in the area and wipe out everybody. Problem solved, right?
"fighting cybercrime... the Internet's Dirty Harry... single-handedly take down cyber criminal networks... the (shady) NO-IP... "
And, of course, along with being the big, bad, good-guy cop, some "alleged" that their business was disrupted. Poor old Microsoft is "weary" of its role.
A while back, a friend of mine went to the doctor complaining of fatigue. He was just constantly tired and unsure why. They checked him into the hospital for tests, and shortly declared he had Leukemia and needed to start chemotherapy right away. After several weeks, including a long stay in the ICU, the doctors declared the treatment a "success". He remained in the ICU and died yesterday.
Fucking quacks "practicing" medicine and performing "treatments" that have a proven low survival rate - but, hey, everybody including the pharmaceutical companies are raking in the money, so it's all good. Except for my friend, who would have lived longer and had less pain than he did under their "treatment".
Fuck them. Stop it with the myopic single diagnosis / single treatment crap. People are NOT petri dishes.
Soon the market for US based programmers will be flooded by a new wave of corporate-sponsored graduates fresh and ready to be burned out, thus driving programmer wages down to "competitive" levels.
But not elsewhere. So why in the wide wide world of sports would they hire American's? It just doesn't make any sense. It is not life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and a guaranteed 6 figure income. That is not how any of this works.
How come all the shills in this thread defending hiring 3rd world workers for 1st world company jobs are all Anonymous Cowards? Are they all Social Media Strategists for ManPower and Infosys? Just asking.
It probably will not go over well in this venue, but I just don't see how people can get so worked up at companies for doing what's in the company's best interests
Well part of the issue is that often times it is clearly not in the company's best interest - certainly not in the long term, and even more often not if the company relies on any decent level of customer satisfaction to survive and compete.
There's a reason they don't want to hire American's, and it's because they cost too much. The fact that people in other countries are lining up to do the same work for cheap is concrete proof that it isn't as difficult work as you think.
And yet, clearly, they are NOT doing the same work. Sure, they're lining up - with worthless 3rd world degrees handed out from a corrupt system and paper qualifications that make them appear qualified while they can't figure out how to poor piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel.
Recent labor statistics show that productivity in the US has dropped significantly in the last few years. Want to know why? American workers replaced with cheap labor. It's been happening for more than 5 years, but the results are now starting to be felt in the labor market as a whole.
There is no getting around the fact that you can find skilled workers from anywhere, and you will find paper-qualified workers that are incompetent boobs from anywhere, but I've been in IT for a long time, and the fact is, if you want decent skills, you have to pay for it. Period.
While it is true that businesses create job descriptions specifically designed to eliminate American workers, it is *also* true that plenty of American IT workers think they are super-awesome and really aren't.
Yes, I've seen lots of these folks. It's not just "American IT workers", though, this phenomenon knows no nationality bounds.

The IRS most certainly *can* bring suit against them in a US court, and demand that they turn over records for their tax-haven bank accounts.
But they aren't asking for *records*. They are demanding the actual artifacts stored in that foreign country, which they CANNOT do.
we can't fly a team of cops over to the Bahamas and raid the offices of the bank to produce the data
Why not? Might makes right, doesn't it? That seems to be what you're implying.
This is *completely normal*, all over the goddamn world.
No, it's not.
Not necessarily. 8.2 means : ok we heard you, we fixed the mess, here is the correct version. 9.0 means : preceding version was ok, now here is a new one, which will be good trust me.
Here's a coupon for $25 off the $200 upgrade.

As opposed to gold, which has never seen the price move.
Which has more buying power today?
Go ahead, pick one.

What's with all the services hiding under svchost.exe anyways?
They're not hiding.
tasklist /svc
Sorry to dispel your ignorance.
If I didn't know better, I might ask what's with all those daemons hiding behind xinetd? But I do know better.
Hmm...
C:\Windows\system32>tasklist /svc | grep svchost
'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
DAMMIT!!

Who says that the free stuff "utopia" is not the terrible future.
The term you are looking for is "distopia". See: 1984, Animal Farm, Hunger Games, Brave New World, and Agenda 21, for starters.
