Cheaper. Definately cheaper. In my experience nearly all managers, especially non-techincal ones, simply assume that all developers have the same productivity, quality, and are plug-and-play.

Yeah It had little/nothing to do with potential markets. It was all to do with holes in the UK labour laws meaning that companies based there could continue to replace local skilled workforce en masse with cheaper foreign labour, which was a practice already illegal in most other EU countries.
How come they are free to decide if Bitcoin is money or not on a case by case basis? It seems clear that they are doing so based on the effect of its status on the associated prosecution, which is hardly an unbiassed move.
Since their visual cortex is now reassigned to other functions like solving algebra, I wonder what they would see if they suddenly got their sight back?
You surely must know that As a US Senator, Clinton voted for the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, which has resulted in up to 175,172 civilian deaths (from violence alone) and a total of 242,000 deaths when combataAs Secretary of State Clinton was a forceful advocate for escalating US military operations in Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. She also presided over the expansion of drone attacks that have killed hundreds, if not thousands of civilians (up to 90% not being the intended targets), while reinforcing US commitments to dictatorships in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Morocco and elsewhere. Ints are included. Her policies are pretty much the reason that IS even exist. How many people have they killed?
I haven;t seen any evidence that Trump is corrupt at all. I'll happily agree that the chance that he isn't on some level is low, but not even close to the scale that she is.
Show me the hundreds of milions of bribe $, show me the wars that he's started, show me the endless lies to congress. All things that are beyond refute about Hillary.
Are you kidding? Are you denying Comey let her off for her "Extremely careless" misuse of classified information? Here's why (all public record): After the the Senate said HSBC served "drug kingpins and rogue nations", they funneled $80 Million into the Clinton Foundation from Swiss bank accounts. FBI director James Comey was on the HSBC board of directors at the time, and also shielded the Clintons from another classified information scandal involving Loretta Lynch's law firm. As Attorney General, Loretta Lynch brokered the HSBC settlement after HSBC admitted "wilful criminal conduct". Its executives (including James Comey) were never prosecuted. She went on to let HSBC off the hook for evading over $100 million in taxes. Seeing the circle yet?

Bullcrap. As an someone born and bred in rural England I can tell you that the half hour ride on the one bus a day between the village and the nearest town/shopping isn't ever going to replace the privately owned vehicle, nor would people thank you for taking their cars from them.
>> Explain to the class how Hillary is anything other than a less successful liar and a less successful real estate developer than Trump.
Well for a start you could consider the hundreds of millions of $ in "donations" still going to the Clinton foundation from countries like Saudi, then add in the unnecessary wars she's started as Secretary of State and the people that died in them, then look at the 50 or so people around the Clintons that have died mysterious circumstances when they became problems to Bill/her, then look at what everyone who's ever worked with her says about her off the record, then wonder how/why she clearly has both the Attorney General and the FBI in her pocket (hint: HSBC funneled $80 million to the Clinton foundation from seceret swiss bank acocunts while James Comey was on he board of directors of HSBC, later he shielded the Clintons from another classified info breach involving Loretta Lynch's law firm, and Loretta Lynch "coincidentally" brokered the HSBC settlement after they admitted "wilful criminal conduct" then when she magically became Attorney General she let HSBC off the hook for evading over $100 million in taxes).

Its not about the EULA. Its about Best Buy/Lenovo selling a product that is advertised to be a PC when actually its a windows-only device.
I get your point but misrepresenting a product as being a PC, when actually its a windows-only device is blatant false advertising.
Class action.

Yeah its like if a deathbot also has a can-opener mode, and you call it a can-opener not a deathbot, then that's OK.

I'll take Trump over Hillary ANY DAY.
I can't see Trump ever doing that, but I'd be surprised if Obama didn't, on his last day.
So you would rather pick a known/proven corrupt criminal than someone with interpersonal issues. I see.
