Because when you couple price discrimination with monopoly, there IS no other provider of that particular good or service. Railroads at the time were monopolies. Ditto phone service, electric, etc. If it were up to the providers, there would be no alternatives to what they provide, at the price they provide it at.
This is one of the (many) reasons monopolies are to be frowned upon.
If you're using Chrome as your browser, Google won't block it's own scripts or cookies, no matter what settings you put, so they'll show up, Private Browsing or not.
Because it never just stops at what games you play or what music you listen to, and by that point, it's already too late. Your information has already been sold to whomever shows up with the appropriate amount of money.
Sure they will, if by filters you mean "AK-47s or other suitable firearms" and by getting there you mean "we tracked down those spamming assholes and ended their stupid shit permanently".
I wouldn't count Huawei - they are directly owned, staffed, and funded by the CCP. For all intents and purposes, it would be like if the US Patent Office owned and operated IBM.
Also, there's been several cases of Huawei's patents being issued for known "plagiarized" work, or the CCP outright waited for a foreign company to apply for a patent first, then granted the patent in question to Huawei instead while denying it to the foreign company.
Blacklights also annoy me. They are kind of bright to me and give me headaches after awhile. To be honest, I look at the bulbs and they look like a bright combination of violet purple at the edges of the bulb and fierce magenta in center where the filament is. It's almost like taking a purple tinted glass and using it to stare at the sun for a short period of time.
Also, I am one of those people who can get by with wearing sunglasses even at night. I am extremely sensitive to night-time lighting. Halogen and sodium bulbs are the worst (I want to kill the person responsible for blue halogen headlights - they freaking blind me).
That's because modern "Conservatism" has little to nothing to do with the true conservatism acted out in the past. Today's Republican Party is nothing more than the Dixiecrats that fled to the Republican Party after the Civil Rights Act and desegregation, along with the policies, opinions and ideals those former Democrats held.
Today, you'd have to take a mix of Libertarian, Democrat AND a few of the Republican ideals to even approach the Conservatism of the past. By that, I mean closer to the policies of say, Teddy Roosevelt or Andrew Jackson than George W. Bush or Ronald Reagan.
So many Americans though look at our political parties with a blind eye, and don't realize that what we call Left and Right is still vastly more to the Right of Center than what most of Europe (or the rest of the world for that matter) considers to be Left and Right.
I call modern US Democrats the "Republican Lite" of politics, for how little actual difference there is between the two. Sure they have some squabbles over a few social and fiscal matters, but that seems to me to be more a matter of twin children squabbling over the crayons than any actual real difference that matters.
That's because with the wording of that treaty, it makes it quite easy for them to deny request of extradition for traditional, native, white Britons that "toe the line", while easily sending all of those non-natives (read: darker skinned immigrants and similar "citizens") packing off to foreign jails.
At the time this was written, bus bombings and train bombings were going on smack in the middle of London and perpetrated by immigrants AND people that were considered citizens (but not of the "traditional" variety, AKA Muslims/Pakistanis).
Back in the days of the Raj, they didn't even go that far, they just rounded them up and shot/hung them, screw all of this fluffy extradition stuff.
Instead of using the funds so graciously provided them by the end users (consumers is such a dirty term) to donate to charities, they should instead use those funds to lower the costs of whatever they are providing or raise the pay rates of their rank and file employees and let end users worry about which charity to donate some funds (that they are not now having to shell out to the corporation) to.
Their hardware detection scheme tracks anything that requires drivers and by internal hardware ID code. It's programmed to ignore peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, etc, but anything internal like soundcards, videocards, cpus, etc will cause it to red flag.
Conversely, it can be construed to mean that the bolded term "Science" does *not* cover what patents cover, but instead covers what we today would call research, and the other *works of authorship* (being also known as the research papers published for peer review) covered under copyright law.
If you live in the United States, then that employer violated Federal Law, in particular, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978. This was a Title VII amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In this instance it is, or else there wouldn't be silly things enforced like "market wage" laws where companies have to pay employees the average market wage/going rate for that position. And those laws are all over the place. What will you do when they decide your going rate is $3k per year at 60 hours per week?
Probably because bias, sloppy reporting, outright fabrications, lies, and false statistics "reported" by said newspapers became way more obvious and people became less susceptible to believing their crap.
Get the lawyers out of Congress and you'll stop getting stupid laws that only benefit lawyers.
Over 90% of the members of both Congressional Houses are lawyers by profession, and you wonder why stupid things like SOPA even get proposed. These stupid bills are nothing but cash grabs for their profession.
Stop voting for them. There's a few smattering of other professions, like Ron Paul being a doctor, but he's in the minority.
Another issue is that they keep putting unqualified yahoos on these committees. Is it dealing with the FDA or committees dealing Pharma regulations? They should put a few doctors on that committee. Why the hell are they stuffed full of lawyers and not a single member of Congress from the business or medical profession is on those committees?
They weren't put off at all. Pirates had a "working" server emulator built for the online stuff I believe within the first two or three days of release. It worked really well up to the Jerusalem level. Later (about three weeks after game release) a second version of the emulator/crack was released that even ran the Jerusalem level without issues (as they figured out that this Jerusalem level WAS the copy protection, and the only part of the game that was stored server-side until needed by the game), ergo, a flawless pirated copy that avoided the "always online" nonsense of Ubisoft, because by then, the pirate groups had retained all of the server-side data and neatly added it into their available cracks for the game.
I had to disable mouse acceleration in the OS to get my Logitech mouse to work at all with Crysis 2.
Also, even though the game was obviously a crappy Xbox360 to PC port, what I don't understand, was why also the support for the 360 joypad was so shitty in both versions. It felt sluggish even on the console version.
And also because the entire frame up was the exact same as some Cadillac models - in which case the chop shops could take Caddies out of the junkyard, chop the parts onto the good frame from the stolen Olds, and they could fence it off as a "legit" Caddy (oftentimes shipped to and sold in 3rd world markets), making obscene money doing so.
Because it's an Adobe product, with every niggling bug, exploit, and vulnerability associated with Adobe software that typically takes them months to even acknowledge, let alone fix.

Of course they do, how ELSE do you think the moonshiners avoid the po-po? :D

Now do you get it?
Not only that, you have the notorious Koch brothers funding all four Republican candidates.

They bought your data from Lexis-Nexis. You don't even have to purchase anything with your card.
Nowadays if you even have a card, they know it, it's in their records, and they sell those records to anyone with the right amount of money.
Ditto cell phones, cable/sat tv subscriptions, etc. It's all compiled and correlated.
You've obviously never run across Safedisc 5 (or later) when it decides it doesn't like your computer for some reason.
There's other examples from the past...such as Starforce, which did all kinds of nasty things if it thought your drive was a CD/DVD burner.

You should turn them in and watch them burn.
