As I learned from the news here (Europe), this ensures that the 'wealthy' pay a little less less than the working class. You must admit that things cannot develop better, otherwise you would live in a communist state, would'nt you?
At O_U_R expense. Or do you think that the 'investors' made their money by working extra shifts? More like they came to it along the lines of bailouts, tax-exemption deals, subsidies etc. .
This gave me the chance to realize that the 'subline' "news for nerds, stuff that matters" has been removed, presumably with the all new design. Right so!
You would have to have an invention before you can file....
My understanding so far was that an idea suffices to get a patent. Afterwards, you wait until someone else comes up with the invention and then sue. Am I mistaken?
Laws against being antisocial is akin to tilting at windmills.
Granted; however, looking at social intelligence (if there is such a thing), this gives us a striking example on how little progress has been made since Cervantes.
Governments are the biggest, most "evil" corporations of all. Bloated, inefficient, and corrupt, they make the laws and therefore are above them.
And I thought 'governments' are bought by the 'corporations', and now I learn that 'governments' are above 'corporations'. My whole 'Weltanschauung' is shattered.

I'm surprised surveillance networks like this aren't huge vandalism targets.
Probably an EMP would count as large scale vandalism and also would add a new flavour to "nuke 'em".

They have lots of "antisocial behavior" laws these days in the UK...
Big question: Does this make them an 'antisocial' or a 'social' society ?

It seems to be more complex than that.
