  7. Re:Can they get away with it so easily? on Adobe Bows To Pressure and Cuts Australian Prices · · Score: 1

    The terms of service on the US version are illegal in Australia.

    So if an American were to move to Australia and bring their Adobe software with them, what would happen?

  8. Re:Can they get away with it so easily? on Adobe Bows To Pressure and Cuts Australian Prices · · Score: 1

    If you think the price is too high, you don't have to buy it.

    So Australians could just turn around and buy a US copy of the product. What? You say they can't? Some sort of market monopoly where Adobe restricts their right to do business which whomever they want?

  24. Re:He's not a hero, on Chinese Blogger Becomes Celebrity Exposing Corruption · · Score: 2

    what was a honey trap organized by business executives seeking to blackmail powerful bureaucrats to win government contracts. The scheme ultimately failed, but the tapes ended up in the hands of the Chongqing police. After investigators failed to act, Mr. Zhu says, a disgruntled person inside the department sent the evidence his way.

    Sounds like the businessmen provided some official with an 18 year old, recorded the encounter and tried to blackmail him. But he didn't give in to their demands, so they gave the tapes to the police. "Look, we got this guy laid but he didn't come through with the contracts".

    The businessmen need to be arrested. Maybe a few of the government officials needed to resign if they took the bait. But if the blackmail scheme "failed", I'd give the official involved a medal. He got laid and didn't sell out. The fact that none of the businessmen were rounded up in this fiasco sounds like the police were complicit in the blackmail scheme.

    Heck, send as many 18 yo girls as you want to my house. You're not getting any preferential treatment. The only people leaving satisfied will be me and the women.
