You keep posting this argument, this is a classic example of Somebody Else's Problem...if they (you) want me to look at their (your) ads and track me all over the internets then at least try not to be so annoying that I do something about it, simple really...
Even better - regardless of where your headquarters are, if you make profit in a country with rules of law, stable government, etc. then you should pay that country's taxes on that profit.
Why exactly should they get double taxed when they bring their (locally taxed) foreign earned income back to the US then?
If his big hack of Hilary was a lie, why is he in jail? Shouldn't you let him go home? No crime, no felony, no jail. At least that is how it is supposed to work.
I'm sure every single one of his fellow prisoners is just as innocent as he, there is just no political incentive to tell the sheeple that 'fact'. He either takes his Get Out of Jail Free card or incriminates himself to prove that the gov't is lying...hard choice really...
As for must-have devices and must-have software, I'm guessing they are windows only and you seem to think that drivers get magically written without docs and linux, err...KDE devs can somehow port proprietary programs to run on their "OS" without support from the company that owns the software?
Of course the best way is to abolish copyright altogether, and artists get paid for performing their work like the rest of us. Getting paid when a machine plays a recording is ludicrous!
Hey Anonymous Coward, quick question. My brother is an author. How does he get paid for 'performing' his work?
If you don't want to call it taxi, call it "chauffeur" or "car with driver" service but not ride-sharing.
"Illegal livery service" is what I call them since that's exactly what they are...for the most part, some of them are actually fully licensed and insured livery vehicles but the majority are not.
2. The driver that won't switch lanes. We're not in "Fast and Furious" here but
just because three miles ago you chose one lane doesn't mean you must stick
it out like a broken marriage. If we're coming to a traffic stop and there are three
cars at the red light in our lane and none in the other, SWITCH LANES. Also if
we're in a lane that's about to end, plan ahead and SWITCH LANES.
Ah, yes, one of my (many) pet peeves.
So you're coming up on a red light where you're about to be turning right and some 'good' driver cuts in front of you because there's 'none in the other' so now you both have to wait for the light to turn green. Almost always the guy who has the coffee-can muffler on some POS car who wants to race off every red light.
And also I'll let you in on a little secret -- If you 'drive Mrs. Daisy' then drunks have a tendency to pass out instead of getting sick in the back seat which is much, much better for the driver who just wants to get on to the next fare instead of dealing with human waste.
Oh, and professionalism...which uber/lyft drivers need to start learing about (hence the driver tracking).
And the more you drive the more you have to drive for the other cars on the road (goes triple during drinking hours).
So if you drive safe all the fricking time then you have a lot less to worry about than if you modify your behavior based on the individual preferences of the individual passengers.
This is talked about as the biggest settlement ever, and it certainly is bad what Volkswagen did, but nobody died because of this. I think there are some messed up priorities in the system.
Unless the priority is to extract money from the productive classes and redistrubute it during an election year?
And I'm sure quite a few hippies almost died from choking on a bong hit as they learned what their beloved VW was doing to Mother Earth.
So just have a seperate account you use to plan the destruction of Western Civilization, maybe? Just sayin'...
Or it could just be a pre-screening step to figure out which ones are stupid enough to get caught up in one of the FBI's entrapment schemes since that's the only way they actually catch any 'terrorists'.
Ownership of the means of and profits from production belong to the workers.
Belong to the robot workers I think you mean?
Be interesting how the Labor Theory of Value holds up when whole production pipelines involve no human labor at all. Hell, even the diehard Marxists will have to admit it has always been a bullshit economic theory and come up with a new way to instill class envy in the proletariat.
That IRS rate may not be perfect, but there is no corporate agenda driving it's calculation.
And you know the IRS isn't really in the business just giving away money out of the kindness of their hearts -- though with things like earned income tax credit and whatnot they have been somewhat transformed into a wealth redistribution scheme so, who knows?
Can you imagine if you paid your plumber for a new toilet, but then you also had to pay him every time you used it ?!?
The last time the plumber came by to empty the coin box he was talking about this newfangled 'internets of thing' upgrade that not only did auto-billing but also analysed my diet so that I could save up to 35% on my health care coverage.
No, the web page says it is broken because 24 has several packages with higher versions than are in 25, just like CentOS's upgrade from 6 to 7 has been broken for over six months because of the same problem. Red Hat wants you to throw away servers rather than upgrade. That's why hardware makers, like Dell, love them.
The upgrade on my Workstation Spin (or whatever they call it) went just fine on the lappy yesterday by auto-downgrading a couple of programs -- kind of borked the rpmfusion part but that was mostly my fault by upgrading before the official release and messing with things beforehand. All good now except for gnome-mplayer being nowhere to be found. Only really use the laptop to watch videos on anyway so was a good guinea pig to test the upgrade process before upgrading my desktop.
Today is the desktop's turn where I have patched libs and py-modules scattered around, self-built rpms from who-knows-where and some WIP projects that rely on said custom installed libs but now you got me all scared...guess I'll just throw the computer in the dumpster and start all over with a Dell on win10 or something...
After 2-3 people and their families get slaughtered, do you REALLY think there will be any more resistance?
No, I think there would be a LOT more resistance.
You know, some of us sheeple were highly trained solders back in the day and have first hand experience of small units who can blend in with the local population taking on superior military forces. Everyone seems to think 'resistance' would be a group of people with shotguns and hunting rifles trading fire with tanks rolling down Main Street or something silly like that.
That's true but in the case of Washington declaring war on the general population you may find it interesting to know that in officers training you are taught about"illegal orders" and how to counter them.
Enlisted men are "taught" how to counter illegal orders too...usually involving the summary execution of the one issuing the order in the most extreme of cases as in ordering their troops to fire on US citizens. Or, more probably, just ignoring the order and deal with the consequences later (assuming "later" isn't a firing squad).

Maybe they could use some kind of external heat source to melt the snow and ice of the panels like, I don't know, solar energy?
How exactly is some random security researcher "US intelligence services", aside from the standard deflection mechanism?

...nor on where Gingrich plans to deport U.S. citizens who fail his Sharia test.
Concentration camps of course. Like the Japanese citizens during WWII.
Probably need to declare some martial law as well.
un-useful...
"useless"
Minitrue has declared all pedants guilty of crimethink and must report for unpersonhood double plus-speedwise.

Yeah yeah, this is what people were saying they were going to do when Windows Me came out...switch to Linux.
Yep, Windows ME is exactly what drove me into the loving arms of The Gnu.
Though, I must confess, I've cheated wirh the beasties on occasion...
What makes you think the AC isn't a female?
Hell, I'd be riding the gravy train...

I think the guy forgot to switch off "safe search". Clitoris works for me.
In Soviet Russia, you works for clitoris.
Umm...pretty much everywhere else too I suppose...
So, just don't buy a phone without a headphone jack...how's that for democratizing?
