You laugh. But close inspection reveals that it really is the spawn of an unholy pairing of Darth Vader with R2D2. Funny how the Star Wars reboot is coming up.
Although the legal profession often manages to live up to their reputation, try living in a world WITHOUT a functioning legal system.
The reality is that poor people often (not always) do have access to legal representation. It's spotty, insufficient coverage and like many things (health care comes to mind) the members of the group and society as a whole ought to be working harder, much harder, at improving things.
But look around you. You want Somalia? Russia? India? China?
No, Adobe ISN'T "moving applications into the Cloud". It's moving the licensing into a subscription service that uses "The Cloud" as a conduit.
Yes, Adobe is trying to cloud things up by pushing the "cloud" aspect of it. But those are little fluffy bits tacked on to the core of industrial strength software. You download the app installers, run locally. Every month it phones home and gets permission to run for another month. Adobe tacked on some crappy 'collaboration' applets and a Dropbox wannabee service, but it's the same old app or exe file.
Whether that is legal in all countries is something for lawyers and similar spawn of mutant camels to figure out. But it is apparently legal enough in Adobe's core markets for them to spend a lot of time (and goodwill) on it.
The scary thing is that you actually can. I'd suggest not letting them do much to you, but medicine is getting the same pressures that tech has been hammered with. Plenty of people with medical degrees out there in the world, even half the typical US pay looks pretty good and, despite all the whining around here, the US is still a pretty desirable place to live.
Some of these docs are OK, some are really pretty good. A lot of them are pretty substandard - can do basic stuff but when push comes to shove, they simply don't have the training.
And I suspect that this project will have the building inspectors (and everyone else) closely monitored. They're aware of their issues, the Chinese are hardly stupid. It's like the Soviet Hero projects - they (usually) got funded well. Better materials. Better engineers. Most of their Hero stuff worked. The rest of the country, not so much.
But I thought they poured the concrete off site (while making the pre fab sections). Too lazy to look it up, though.
Anyway, it doesn't have to be maximally strong - it just has to be strong enough. If you build enough redundancy in the system you can let it cure as the building ages.
We go through this on every TSA related post: Israel has one or two (depending on how you define it) International airports. It's the size of New Jersey. They explicitly do racial profiling.

Higher output per weight. Aircraft manufacturers and operators, especially for smaller planes, obsess about weight.
You're sure you own all those neurons? Have you read the EULA recently?

Just sayin.
Where do you see that? All I see is a shiny black cylinder that looks like a high tech ashtray.
Speaking of cocaine, you should cut down a bit.
Yes, there are problems here. No, it's not the Gulag. Hyperbolic whining is not going to get you very far.
Vote early and often.
Could slashdot find some people who understand double negatives?
I don't doubt it.

Oh, excellent. Please be correct.
That means we have at least 5 years of improvements into OS X and iOS.
It think it's going to take that long to connect Steve's brain to the Spaceship, then all hell is going to break loose.
You're holding it wrong....
shabbathgoy?
Maybe you should cuddle up to Big Pharma. They've got some products that can change your outlook on things.
This platform will be hacked at the speed of light BECAUSE of all these draconian restrictions.
Nah, there is a fair amount of latency in the system. If the hackers are in the US, it might be broken at the speed of ISDN or a T1 line.
Where? I'm curious.
And for how long?

I don't want anymore USB sticks or pizza, thank you.
That's one reason why you're not supposed to read The Fine Article.
Surely, you have been around long enough to know this.

Sound familiar?
The Song Remains the Same....
Or Oath of Fealty or any of a number of other books on Archologies.
Paragliders. Now, that would cool. In case of a fire, you could ride the thermals.
African or European?
Oh. Wait.

That's right. They have better food.
Although they're coming down to our level.
KFC! KFC! KFC!
I'll trade those poor folks some thumb drives. I'm a nice person.

The Israeli experience isn't germane to the US.
