Facebook is in a tricky situation. They don't fully moderate the content, but they do have a moderation system - you can report content that is harassing or sexually explicit for example. The situation isn't as black and white as you make out.
This is what happens when companies are allowed to run rough shod over the populace. And then people on Slashdot piss and whinge when a government actually enforces the law the people want. You can't have it both ways.
I am more than aware of this. If they aren't paying corporate taxes in America where the tax rate is lower, do you really believe they are paying taxes in those other jurisdictions?
Assuming you are part of the insurance system in America - you're already paying for other people's healthcare. That's the way insurance works. And you're a retard if you don't realize that.
My problem with socialized medicine: it gives them legitimate claim to regulate our lives. At least what we put into our bodies. "Trans fats are illegal because we foot the bill for your healthcare...we shouldn't have to pay for your obesity. Or your alcohol, or any number of unhealthy things. Even without that they've done ridiculous things (eg illegalization of pot.) Don't worry the healthcare lobby will destroy anything beneficial in the ada anyways
Which is also complete bullshit. I've lived in two countries with socialized healthcare, neither of which makes tobacco, trans fats or any of the other unhealthy things illegal. You're living in a paranoid fantasy world.
Indeed - didn't the Egyptian pyramids used to be smooth (ish) on the outside. The locals removed the outside shells, leaving the stepped shapes they are now.
Thankfully the typical age range for the onset of Alzheimer's is usually way after most people have had their kids. So that shouldn't be a problem. There are plenty of other diseases which occur during and before that age. Alzheimer's is not one of them.
You've not heard of "drift" have you (which I appreciate is not what happened here), where the non-GMO crops are cross pollinated by GMO crops. Then Monsanto (among others) sue the hapless farmer, take his farm and throw him off his own land. All because that's the way nature works.
Also by "plenty" I assume you mean less than 10% as per the article.
I love how the sequester "starves the beast", except for Congress. Congress hasn't taken a cut in wages - why not? Oh that's right because the Republicans (who control Congress) are entitled little whiners and hypocrits. The FAA debacle is prime example of that.
If it were true that anyone doing better would be able to negotiate a higher wage and better benefits, then the average wage would have gone up over the last 30 years. It hasn't - it has stagnated.
Then college did you no good. You could have spent no money going to college, taught yourself SQL and gone off to be a DBA and got where you are now far faster.
For the vast majority of users, port forwarding isn't a priority. BT are selling this to lower tier internet users like my Granma who knows nothing about port forward and doesn't care. So long as she can send and receive emails, use a web browser and make the odd Skype call, she has no other need.
You and I on the other hand need to have the port forwarding capabilities, but then you and I probably need higher bandwidth etc that a higher tier package gives us.
I'm not saying it's right, I think they should skip this and go to IPv6. But port forwarding isn't a feature that the vast majority of internet users need or use.

Thank you for demonstrating my point so well
Again something that's pretty much unique to America. The UK certainly doesn't stand for that kind of nonsense.
You forgot that the 200 hours is paid at 50c an hour. And then you thank your employer on bended knee.
<sarcasm>
But that's socialism. Don't fall into the trap America!
<sarcasm/>
Start looking for a new job then. One that has overtime for when the managers pull stunts like that.
Why not just go the whole hog and eliminate that nasty pay all together? That way they company can be super competitive.

(FWIW: I'm a Brit, living in Canada)
But it's rarely earned in another country. It's earned in western countries - America, Canada, Europe.

Rogers put the 911 bill on their bills too. Probably because Bell does, and they don't want their bills to look higher. It's all BS really
So do the decent thing America and get a socialized healthcare system

So everyone else thinks you're an ill educated moron?
What you really want to be is an "elected yes man." Politicians who do little thinking and let industries write legislation are invaluable.
So you mean most politicians then.

IANAL but could you sue Monsanto to protect against patent infringement?

And a liveable income as well?
There's your problem right there. These "demonized" jobs are all minimum wage which is not intended to be a living wage.
