I live in Belgiu. Azerty is the standard. It is terrible if you do anything in IT. Only when I started using qwerty did I understand WHY a '/' was searching down and '?' was searching up. The thging is that the Belgian Azerty keyboard is not the same as the French one. So when I still used an azert keyboard, I would have at the office a Belgiun one, but the portable would not be produced in high enough numbers, so that would be a French one.
Now I use qwerty since 20 years. No more people who are able to use my work PC when I am not in. One company had such a stupid IT person that asked me to type in the admin pasword to their server as he was unable to do it. WHAT YOU NEED TO TYPE IS INDICATED ON THE KEYS!!! Pebkac.
There are no alternatives because Googles abused its power. And just because there are alternatives does not mean that Google is not abusing its power.
If you look up the discussions that where already done about the subject, you just need to replace Microsoft with Google and you will have the same excuses that there are alternatives, so it isn't a monopoly.
And making it less competiative? As in "It will have more competition? Well, that is the point of it.
fix these abusive practices, or be denied access to our market/blockquoteThat is not how fines work. Denial to the market could be an option if the fines do not work.
What most likely is going on is: They where asked to comply with the law. They refused and now get a fine. They keep refusing, they will be kicked out.
There will be some lergal discussions here and there.
Car example for the Americans: If you ignore a stop sign, you will be asked to pay a fine. If that dfoes not work, your drivers license will be taken and if that does not work, you will go to prison.
And yes, it looks like a shakedown. That is because they only become high profile when the fines are that high. Plenty of companies will just stop doing the bad things before they get the fines. Those will never get into the news. Others will get lower fines and pay up and not get in the news.
I know several companies that have received fines for various reasons. Often only a few in the company will be aware of it. Higer management and the legal department, but not many others.
Also understand that the EU and the US look at things from a completely different perspective: if there is a dispute between a company and a consumer (a person) the standard is that the consumer, the people are more important and that is how the laws will be interpreted. It is laws for the people, by the people.
That is because you only look at the security. I look at the usability. I would have to buy a new phone and what I can buy would be limited. Obviously the majority of the people would go for one that will be fixed on the phone, so having it on the phone is less secure than having data on the phone.
And I am sure there will be different ones from bank to bank. I already have two RSA key generators. One that works as it is, the other I have to put my card in. So that means that when I travel I either take them with me, with the risk of losing them. That would require replacement when I get home and that will take time. At least a day of work anb go to the bank and ask for a new one.
Or I do not take them with me and if I want to do a transfer, I am unable to do so. Yes, I have been in a situation where I needed to transfer more than the minimal daily amount I can do with my phone (limited at 2500 EUR) and did not have the RSA generators with me in a foreign country. Luckily the company understood the reason and took the risk of getting payment after they performed their service.
To me what would be OK is if they all used Google Authenticator and send the specific codes via snail mail, like they send pin codes via snail mail. Not via email. Not even if it is an emergency. Not to the bank. Not to your neighbor, or your dad or your son.
And changing the address must be done with proof. But in Belgium we have it easy. Everybody older than 12 has to have an ID. On that ID is a chip. That chip can be read with open source software and even can be used for other things. Just yesterday I filled out my taxes.
A change of address means you need to go to the city hall. They will edit your address and put the new address on the chip. SO if I say my SIM card is broken, they will send a new one. I do not think they will just put it on another sim card.
The real issue is that they put it on another sim card without you being there. Either send a new one or let people go to a store where they need to identify themselves in a manner that is normal where you live.
The national security of the United States relies on a healthy airline industry.
Why? So we can have an excuse to get peoples data against terrorism? Because the control at airports is the only way to catch them?
Does that mean that Luxembourg is run over by terrorirsts, because they do not have an airline industry? I have so many actions and would like to know what other industries can be healthy and what industries can be sick when talking about National Security.
A great thing would be selling the code book for 2903.78. When they look up the code after paying for it, they will read that that code (and every other code) means "You have been had!"

Yes, you will get a slower grow rate. The question is when. What will happen is that it will start slow, will go faster, flatten out and then go slower.
All understandable and logical. But WHEN will it flatten out? And how fast?
4-5 channels is still 40-50 dollaroos per month. Cable seems the cheaper option if you compare it. In Belgium I would pay 25.90 for 75 or 83 channels (depends on what page on their website you are) So if I where inclined to choose between the two if money is the only parameter. The issue is that the reason people wll pay more is becasue there is no other way to legally watch those shows.
I have no tv since around 5-10 years or so and I absolutely do not miss it. And I do call Netflix and the like TV.
This was the official reply: We, the 'we are not a taxi company"-Taxi company, do not do that. We just make a difference because of age, gender, skin color, age and religion. We do not even use the 'd'-word around here. That is how much we do not do it. We use a Dutch wordt for our human-segragation-policy.
I neverbuy stuff on dale as it is also often bought specially for the sale one month in advance and the reduced to the teal price it should have been and even a bit above ot. Often lower quality as well.
In Europe we are used to pay what we see displayed. You go to a restaurant and if the price says 3EUR for a beer and 12 EUR for a pizza, you pay 15 EUR.
In the US you see some random number and at the end they have added some numbers and then you need to calculate on top of that how much you are going to pay. (Could still be the same amount)
And yes, I have heard the excuses that it is difficult because all of the different taxes in the US. If that is true, how come the prices including the taxes are known when you pay?
As for hotels, I use booking.com and I have have yet to pay more than what was advertised. Even in Spain, where there is a tourist tax, I will see the total before I do a payment. Most things I see is if breakfast is not included. As I do not take breakfast, I do not care.
The most annoying ones are the airlines who seem to get away with not clearly indicating prices (even in Europe) and even the railroads where they advertise a price, but reserving a seat is X EUR and you MUST reserve a seat (on certain trains).
This is about a debt to the bank, not about saying "China is bad." To me that makes it a bit less unreasonable. Perhaps their law says that debts belong to the family, not the individual.

That would be a law for the people, by the people. The US population would never allow that to happen.
Satelite communication killed telegraphy? Don't think so. What I think that killed it was first Telex and that was killed by fax.

You not only need an ID, you also need the card. After you have gotten a card number via a "Microsoft Anti Virus Call" you do not have the card.

Are these on the Netflix shows, or on other shows and tv? Because if others, that is how they get them.

That would mean you are aware that it will incriminate you. That means you can only refuse if you are guilty. Sounds pretty stupid to me.
