    If anyone protests against an energy company in the Land Of The Free(TM) they just set the army on them.

    I fail to see the relevance of Ireland to the situation, but unlike you I've been closer than a leprechaun-themed bar in Indiana.

    FTFY.

  5. What exactly does Facebook have a monopoly on?

    Wasting time.

    Oh, wait ...

  6. Have you compared Apple's profits vs. the rest of the mobile industry?

    Yes. They're large.

    Monopoly, though, is defined by market share.

  7. Google doesn't lock anyone from providing their own software. Google wants their software to be included by default

    In practice there's no difference - their stuff is so bloated there's no space left for anything else.

    This time it's not MsMash's fault - it's like that in the original!

  9. Nothing is risk-free, that's obvious. The real question is about who's bearing the risk.

    The diver that died was delivering tanks to stockpile along the route, was supposed to be with a partner, but was not. That is expected of Thai divers.

    Slur a brave dead man and his entire nation - and be utterly wrong to boot. Nice one.

    "The diver died after losing consciousness in one of the passageways, said Passakorn Boonyaluck, deputy governor of the Chiang Rai region, where the cave is situated.

    "His job was to deliver oxygen. He did not have enough on his way back," Mr Passakorn said.

    He said that Saman's dive partner tried to revive him but could not, and his body was brought out of the cave."

    And the ones that blow up go out of business (or at least their insurance goes up).

    Ah, the magic of the free market!

    It's the same with doctors who kill patients, restaurants that poison their customers, and carmakers whose vehicles drive themselves into large red stationary trucks. Well, not the last one. Not yet.

    It said he couldn't shut off the individual pump. I'm sure there's a massive kill switch of doom (due to nanny-state commie stuff) that shuts off the entire station, but for some reason he didn't want to use it. Worried about getting in trouble over lost sales?

  23. If it is, this is an answer.
