The British public is entitled to a little rage, now that they've figured out that their Brexit vote was based on the lies of CA, which you'll note has conveniently disbanded in hopes of evading exposure and responsibility...
Robbing a business traveler under color of law is exactly why we've come to permanently mistrust you and your media allies.
Nobody was robbed, golubushka.
"Under color [sic] of law". This is a national legislature we're talking about—they ARE the law, idiota.
The media didn't do this. A nation's legislature grew weary of a foreign company's stonewalling (not to mention no small amount of arrogance on the part of its CEO), and went round it using the powers given it by the laws of said nation, zanudyen. If said foreign company doesn't like the country's laws and governmental institutions, it's free to take its business elsewhere, cupcake. (Sorry, I don't have a good translation for that off the top of my head other than "chashka torta" which I suspect doesn't have the desired effect.)
Just like the US House of Representatives is soon going to start exercising its investigative powers on the nest of criminals and traitors who've ensconced themselves in Washington.
You've got... about 6 weeks left. Enjoy your little party while it lasts, nyeuch.
Here, we have immigration via family, and immigration sponsorship. My accountant sponsored his brother to come to Canada, and his brother? Turned out to be a deadbeat. On welfare for years, and what happened? My accountant sponsored, so now the province is taking every penny of welfare back from him.
It's the same in the US; if you sponsor someone for a family visa, you're financially responsible for them for 10 years or until they become naturalised (or leave the country), whichever comes first. I know this because as part of bringing my wife to the US earlier this year, I had to sign a contract with the US government to this effect.

I've got a better idea—how about we design our cities and neighbourhoods so that the shops are within walking distance of most people instead of regarding the mandatory use of a car for this as something "normal", which in much of the rest of world it is not?
Actually, standing desks have been around for quite some time (as in "centuries"), as even a cursory glance at the Wikipedia article on the subject would tell you.
The first comment in the thread concerned China's actions regarding certain small, low-lying islands. If you want to invite comparison with America's actions regarding such, that might be considered a legitimate point of discussion. But, no, you're not doing anything like that, you're trying to derail the conversation and force your completely unrelated agenda down our throats instead and it's not at all welcome. KGFY.
I had to spend the night in emergency in Guangzhou after suffering heatstroke. Clean, modern facility, up-date equipment, well-trained staff, doctors who'd studied at Johns Hopkins and Karolinska. Four hundred dollars (¥1600). That's about twice what I'd pay here in Sweden, but it's only about 1/100 of what it'd cost me in the US.
Which—even if true—has nothing to do with the topic at hand, since China isn't really a Communist country in any way other than in the name of the ruling party.
Creating an entire subset of your society that is so locked out of daily life that they can't even function is a very, very quick way to incite organized resistance...
Yeah, it's like someone said, "Let's see how long it takes to create a hidden underclass of those who've failed out or dropped out of the system".
To steal a phrase from R.A. Wilson, trying to discuss such matters with you is a bit like being an atheist who keeps getting asked whether he worships God or the Devil.
The reason why he wanted to expose the truth is completely irrelevant.
False. Intent matters. Assange's intent on getting his ego stroked, and this has rather obviously coloured his actions.
I also do not at all appreciate your blatant attempts at projection, miscategorisation, and to put words in my mouth. I never said anything remotely like I wanted to "crucify" Assange. So stop claiming that I did, or KGFY.
You also continue to ignore—even though I've made myself pretty clear on this point—that I don't object to uncovering facts. What I object to is Assange's highly selective use of selected information as a weapon to further a very self-interested agenda, one that takes no consideration of its effects on the well-being of countless ordinary Americans (and others) who've done no-one any harm, least of all Assange.
And just so you know, I'm a US-Swedish dual national and, yes, I do consider myself a loyal citizen of both of my countries, and, no, I see nothing wrong with that.
When you're ready to respond to things I've actually said, get back to me.

Hi APK,
It was pretty obvious that you were responsible for this screed, but thanks for confirming.
The British public is entitled to a little rage, now that they've figured out that their Brexit vote was based on the lies of CA, which you'll note has conveniently disbanded in hopes of evading exposure and responsibility...
Actually, they started out fighting to secure their rights as Englishmen. The independence part came a little later.
The "computer definition" is a simple and obvious application of the "common definition" to computers.
And you are simply and obviously an idiot.

The agreement is more or less the same. I signed one earlier this year.

Who thinks standing in one place counts as "exercise" any more than sitting in one place does? I've never seen anyone make such a claim.
BTW, I got one 4 or 5 years ago, and standing for part of the day has been amazing for my back.

Sorry about that.

My friend Ben says you're an idiot.

First thought I had when reading this story.
Been using the Logitech M330 wireless keyboard/mouse combo for years, I've been quite happy with it.
Just bought an MSI laptop and the one complaint I've got about it is that PgUp and Home share a key, as do PgDn and End, which is just bonkers.
I don't know who you think you're talking to, but it doesn't seem to be me.

I'm sorry, Slashdot seems to have mangled what I'm sure began as a thoughtful and articulate response...
