Hong Kong, being part of China, and not having the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, is not one of those places where freedom of speech is considered important by the government.
Yes you are correct, we do not have the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. We have Article 27 of Hong Kong Basic Law which states:
Article 27
Hong Kong residents shall have freedom of speech, of the press and of publication; freedom of association, of assembly, of procession and of demonstration; and the right and freedom to form and join trade unions, and to strike.
We may be a part of China but we have our own entirely different political and legal systems.
...wouldn't intentionally tanking the stock of a company via unsubstantiated rumor be criminal?
It better not be. It's up to the actual traders to verify unsubstantiated statements such as this before taking any action. Restrictions on speech have already gone way too far.
Actually, I live in Hong Kong and here it can be considered criminal. This exact thing just happened here recently and the offender was arrested. Brief quote from the article:
He was arrested on Saturday in Shau Kei Wan by officers from the Technology Crime Division of the Commercial Crime Bureau for allegedly using a computer with criminal or dishonest intent.
He is accused of spreading rumors online on Friday about the bank being in difficulty.
I don't think binary size is really the main benefit (its a small part of it). Along the same lines, however, it's not having to install all the libraries for all the extra stuff you don't plan to use. On a desktop, not too big of a deal, but on a server.. when I can tell it not to use X or kde or alsa et al, it saves quite a bit of time and space.
I like Gentoo a lot, but I eventually moved away from it. It requires more maintenance than a bipolar girlfriend. If you don't update on a very regular basis, you end up spending 6 hours updating the entire system and editing config files.
Hell think of all the underaged girls & boys you can meet and stalk! Hell it might even get you famous on TV!! Yea, Dateline!! (okay the last part was a joke)
I agree, stalking is no fun if you get caught. Boo, Dateline! Yea, stalking!!
Free delivery and club points with your purchase of a Weapon of Mass Destruction? What a rip, all I got with my last one was a coupon for $5 off a bluetooth remote detonator.
As for the sex act itself, we implemented it using a modification of the classic MUD combat system.
This sounds appropriate. Battles in the classic MUD combat system never lasted very long for me.

Maybe we have a new contestant emerging for the next "Biggest Douche in the Universe" crown.

You might even be talking to a RAID of ATA disks and not know it.
