I will never understand this line of reasoning. A big American corporation did this terrible thing in the past, and so somehow it's now ok if British company does the same thing? Weren't you just saying that it was wrong for them to do it? It seems like you started your argument by stating that you are definitely on the wrong side of it.
its funny I hear the same thing all the time regarding Islam. Sure they kill people just for their beliefs, but so did the Catholics in the crusades so its fine!
another example is "Yellow pages", the original name for NIS that was changed because British Telecom PLC owned the name "Yellow Pages" as a registered trademark in the United Kingdom. As a legacy many of the commands start with yp, for example ypinit, ypserv, etc.
Malignantly spreading, leaving a wake of destruction with nothing of value in its place. Where this breaks down is that there are not lots of people declaring that those who propose virus scanners, firewalls, etc. are slimy virus-a-phobes and that many systems have been trashed by Window, Linux, etc.
Before the using via network (remote X) is available for wayland, and includes root windowless mode, most of non-hobbyist users (in heterogenic corporate environments and such) will never switch over. There's nothing to get excited of if you aren't at even half-way feature parity.
There is now support for remote use. There is also a full screen mode, if that's what you mean by root windowless.
The main issue at the moment is that it is new - I doubt if it is as stable as X - and the limited supporting applications.
OK thought experiment. Barron Bomburst of Vulgaria passes a law that any company which is accesses by citizens of his country has to give him a $1,000,000 birthday present. Do you think that companies based solely in the USA, or anywhere else, would comply?
Non-EU based companies are required to store person-related data in the EU, and thus are in the same situation.
only if they want to be registered under the data protection act. They may do so in order to be able to process data on behalf of an organisation that is, for example a US based company wishing to process a payroll for an EU based company would have to do so. This does not apply to no EU companies that you might just decide to register with and use across the internet though.
How does being the owner of something entitle you to someone else being required to provide the means to destroy it?
That's what "ownership" means. You get to control it.
Not necessarily. If you own a listed historic building then destroying or altering it is a criminal offence. There are quite a few other examples where you can own something but not legally destroy it.
Various versions of Silverlight has been available for Linux for a long time. Not that anyone would want to use it. But lack of silverlight has nothing to do with them not supporting Linux.
Perhaps I should cherry pick my examples in the same way you have, so I can show that Catholics (in the form of the IRA) kill many people every year?
It was the GP that cherry-picked (by having a cut-off date that excluded 2001) - I used National statistics. I think that if you wanted to show that Catholics killed a lot of people you would have to cherry-pick a few decades ago. We used to be evacuated from shopping centres and things fairly frequently with bomb scares, but haven't been for years
Or would it be unfair, because many/most of those Catholics are white, which would show that religious extremism isn't limited to those evil Muslims?
You seem to have a hang-up on race here. It may surprise you to know that not all Catholics are white, and not all Muslim terrorists are brown. people like Richard Dart, Samantha Lewthwaite, Colleen Renee LaRose, to name only a few are just as much murdering muzzy scum as any other muzzy.

In the UK we have only had frost in the morning two or three times this winter. It's much warmer than usual.
If this weather report is news to you, you really do live in the basement.
Or even outside the USA. It's a possibility you know.
I thought -CO3 was carbonate
Better warn Han Solo, it looks like Bruce is turning to the dark side.
But CO3 is highly unstable.
Why do you H8 the government?
is that a rhetorical question?

Yet another compelling argument against private property. We need COMMUNISM!
Gosh I'm convinced. If only Marx, Lenin, Mao, or Trotsky had such a compelling argument. I'll be voting Communist next election.
Why not? It's a perfectly sensible thing to do, why worry about yet another country being capable of launching nukes halfway around the globe?
India are on our side - its Pakistan and Iran you have to worry about.
Why do we allow companies to make business decisions that hurt people? Safeway should be forced to pay all employees for life.
The Safeway hit squad would make sure that it didn't cost too much

They could start using Google+, no parents there, just Google employees.
but my dad works for Google you insensitive clod!
the little shits are afraid of getting caught.
Can we all get along? Can we get along? Can we stop making it horrible for the kids?
Even if you try you are just "an old dude trying too hard to be cool".
Occasionally google+ to see what some people are up to (at least you can divide people into groups, though it still lacks the vital -1 button).
I have two circles, ignoramuses and smarty-pants. I haven't yet found anyone who cannot be classified thus.
I'm not sure.

In the UK, the Data Protection Act requires that they delete your data on request.
But nextdoor.com is a US company that has no divisions or operations in the EU - so it does not apply

Which gives the mandate to use all the above against non-Muslims
They just used the ECT to give you a lobotomy.....
I assume it can't be quite as bad, as the brain section, though erased, is still there and can learn again.
"Researchers Use Electroconvulsive Therapy To Disrupt Recall of Nasty Events"
That therapy is so nasty, that all other nasty events in the past are dimmed in comparison.
Don't worry - they can just zap you again!
