Being the hippie that he was he ignored all attempts to get him on 'western' medicine to treat his known cancer for more than 8 months, preferring instead to treat it with fruit diets and whatnot. When that clearly has no effect it was very much too late. Oh well.
Because most modern countries among them Brazil, France, the UK don't even have these paper protections and they operate security agencies which are OFFICIALLY unaccountable except to the person of the President or PM. So sure, make yourself feel better that the big bad old USA is horrid. Except of course all the others are as bad or worse.
It's a truck. A Chevy/Isuzu truck with a Caddy DTS body more or less stuffed on it except not really since the body is a one off armored body made to look like a DTS
In South Africa the way we typically defeat car thefts is to leave a bottle of liquor in the glovebox and it's laced with cyanide. Usually they get about a half mile, die and crash. But it's just a fender. Drag out the dead guy, get the dings knocked out, you're good to go. I wonder if there's a way to kill the thief by making the phone explode though. Or at the least electrocute his face when he holds it up.
Keeping in mind of course that Obama gets most of his foreign policy advice from Walt and Mearshiemer, both of who are staunch advocates of 'neo realism' and who both lobby for the ideas of neo realism developed by their mentor the father of neo realism Dr Ken Waltz. And what is one of the foundational beliefs of neo realism you ask? It's that nuclear proliferation is a GOOD and stabilizing force in the world. The more countries have atomic weapons the better. Waltz had a 4 part debate series with Dr Scott Sagan on this very topic where over and over he comes out in favor of nuclear arms for all nations no matter how unstable they appear to be.
More or less. They're waiting for it to wither and die so either Verizon or AT&T can pick it up at fire sale prices. Deutsche Telekom has said repeatedly that they're losing money on it and may be forced to simply shut it down w/o a buyer if Obama repeatedly denies it the chance to merge with anyone, which is what they've done so far.
Should have to experience a 10 year embargo of those services. Same with countries that threaten companies that for instance make patented drugs. Ok you want to kill the golden goose you go right ahead. Live w.o. Google or cancer drugs for 10 years. France tries this shit all the time but at least they admit it's a mugging.
Obama's FCC purposefully is forcing the market so that only 2 carriers remain and they are free to do whatever they like. The only question remaining is how much will the state and Federal governments tack on in new taxes and tariffs.
But the upside is that if you're a Sprint customer like me, there isn't any network at all so you will never experience any worsening of service. There is already no service.
BBC uber alles it is then. All Hail. Well at least it's not that fucking terrorist rag, the Guardian. Which is great for making fucking paper mache heads idiots like you march around with angrily protesting the right to honor kill your sisters.
You are adorable. The BBC spent hundreds of thousands of pounds in court to block the release of their OWN report highlighting how biased they are. There are whole websites dedicated to simply listing the instances of the Beeb's bias.
Of course they're going to ignore the 500 madrassas in England which do precisely the same thing and seek out the only Jewish school they could find than shriek and moan and predict the Evil Jew Menace (tm, BBC) is going to destroy all of civilization. This is what they do every day.
IBM has decided the only way it can make money is to buy and sell other people's companies. Keep the ones it likes, rebrand them and send most of the workforce overseas. For the ones it doesn't like sell them to foreign companies. Forget making 'things', even forget services. Just buy newer companies, typically software and smaller niche industry companies that combine specialized hardware and a narrow service focus for a specific task. Slap a Websphere or IBM Security or Tivoli name on it, push it out into the market arena and see what happens for 2 years. If it works, great, if not, toss it in the bin or sell it to China if there's a hardware component.
Roadmap 2015 almost guarantees that IBM will have near zero US employment soon, and as far as being a US or NYS company? That's paperwork. Become an India based holding company. May as well sell the services division to them soon - they're eating IBM's lunch because customers only care about cost and price, that's it. There is almost no value add for IBM proficiency in the services business. Customers don't care what works and what doesn't as long as everyone is protected by SLAs and insurance. Crappy is good enough. So when IBM waltzes in with a squadron of people to hawk the micromanagement that IBM does like no one else, customers ask "Well that's great but I'm not paying twice as much for an hour or two more uptime each quarter."
The basic problem is that Ginni Rometty is in over her head. But it's not her fault it's the fault of a culture that only looks inward for executive talent. Only lifers need apply. Moreover the senior executives behave like pirates: they are simply disconnected from the realities around them unless they're stripping assets and selling off pieces of the company. SEVEN straight quarters of declining revenues and the best thing Ginni can come up with is sell the low end server biz, the MCC div and of course fire another 5,000 people. Because when you're an IBM lifer that's the only thing they've ever done, the only thing they know how to do.

I guess no one's ever heard of auto correlation. If enough people say something is what everyone else believes then it becomes the truth.

Rather have $100k spent on not crashing.
Apple the patent troll will soon stop making devices at all.

I mean seriously, compared to the rest of the world, we in the US may as well be reading about quantum teleportation.
That they have to announce they plan to is rather astonishing.

Who wants to know earlier they have a horrible fatal disease? And who wants their insurance company to know that as well?

You forgot to call me a neocon Zionazi apartheid colonialist capitalist Islamophobe. There's a script you know, stick with it.

They run around irritating people just because they can and their go-to answer to everything from Tim Cook on down is "You and what army??"

Don't get me started. W.T.F.?
Just because something about you enrages me.
I plan to open an eatery called Gay Mohammed's Bacon Whiskey Bar
