Not really sure what you mean, but there is something weird in your comment. In particular that the driver being free is the only way we can focus on how well it works. The alternative is to sit back and pray someone else fixes it for you.
If you cannot take a joke, it is you that should get on with your life. Unless you are working for them, I suggest you to be less emotionally attached to an electronics company, no matter how good their devices are.
Perhaps if she had some "issue" that was "legitimate", she should have hired a lawyer?
She did something simpler. She did not pay the contractor, who sued her and lost in a summary judgement. At least according to her review.
She made very specific and falsifiable statements in her review, so a court should have very little trouble verifying them. And thus no one gives or should give a fuck about whether you call bullshit or not.
Unless you have already won that lawsuit in a summary judgement, which is what she claims (and it would be easy to disprove, so it is very unlikely that she is lying on that one)
If it had to observe the internationally recognized borders Israel would shrink quite a bit. They are unwilling to relinquish those lands. you can speak at length about what Hamas may want more than they are entitled to, but right now the party that is trespassing the border is Israel.
Israel hit first in 1967. They launched a sneak attack that destroyed most of the Egyptian air forces, granting them air superiority for the rest of the war. Hitting first (especially without a declaration of war) usually should not be rewarded.
If you start a reply with "no" you better include something that contradicts me. They signed with the root key and this would not let them invalidate it without breaking their own stuff. Even you admit it.
The problem is, even if you know a little of cryptography, you don't know shit about computers, or security for that matter. The public keys in the UEFI must not be updated from within the OS (even you are able to see that, right?) so in practice will not be updated, ever. No key will ever be revoked on a computer (apart from the microsoft testing machines perhaps) so the whole idea of segregating the different keys will do nothing to increase the security.
Consequently it does not really matter if Microsoft ever updates their own keys, they can just sign new bootloaders with the old one as well, since signing a legitimate package with a compromised key has really no bad effect. And anyway it is not like the bootloader is updated every second day: the next update should come around Windows 9... And they can just use the same trick LF was trying and chainload several of them. In conclusion yes, vendors can simply include a single key chain and forget about all others without any problem.
The tagline is: stop trying to explain and start to listen: you may learn something.
So, instead of signing with a scrap key that vendors will ignore they signed essentially with the original one, so that this bootloader will work on any PC that follows the standard? This is so awesome I don't even know at what to laugh first.
I wish LF just released this bootloader and defuse all this "secure boot" crap. Of course they will play nice and allow Microsoft to save their face... Microsoft incompetence is just appalling. They will probably end up signing malware by accident at some point, but at least you won't be able to run Linux on your PC, so mission accomplished.
Of course they declared independence and they have been recognized by other countries. It's just that they lack recognition from most of the powerful countries, in particular USA, and from UN since USA has veto rights, and from the most powerful neighbour which coincidentall yalso wants those lands. Anything Israel is doing in Gaza becomes much worse/more illegal if you allow statehood, while now they are simply occupying a no-man's land in the eye of UN (still in violation of resolutions). Basically, I think we agree, I just want to make clear that the current situation is not what is meant by "two state solution".
Are you fucking kidding me? Israel attacked Egypt first in 1967. They had the gall to claim at the UN that they were attacked. Of course the lie held for a couple of days only and Israel retracted, but I see there is still some idiot that believes it.

There's really no avoiding that. If you had any clue about that you would realize it. On the other hand, this is their national homeland and they do have a history of fighting for it. They are a distinct group with their own culture and language rather than just lingering remnants of the last empire to hold the relevant real estate.
On the other hand those lingering remnants were real people and they lived there.
Of course they don't need it. They just want it. Visit there and look at the maps you find in stores, you'll see that they consider that land as Israel, not a separate country.
Actually, the party in violation of numerous UN resolutions is Israel. The officially recognized borders are the 1967 ones. Every palestinian leader said they would accept a solution that restores the UN mandated borders. On their part it is a safe bet, because they know all too well that Israel will never follow the UN resolutions, since they have too many settlements outside those borders.
They do not have a state. If they had, they could have a seat at the UN and the current offensive of the IDF would be an act of war. They could request the Israeli roadblocks in Gaza to be removed and IDF would have no say in what happens at the Egyptian border. There are also a ton more differences between what is there now and a two state solution, so we can conclude that you are talking out of your ass.
How many pay cuts would you be willing to accept before leaving the negotiations? The baker's union answer was two. At the third pay cut they decided the situation was not going to turn around.
By that logic they should always accept every offer, because it is better than nothing. You have to set hard limits on the cuts you are willing to accept, for example at the point where you cannot anymore afford food and rent with your salary.
I don't see how that is the union's fault. If Hostess offered 50% should they have taken it because it is better than 0%? if they offered 10%? It all boils down to whether they can still make ends meet with their salaries after the cut.
Refuse to integrate turn by turn navigation on the iDevices to try and keep android relevant?
On all the rest I can agree once I see the evidence, but this is clearly bollocks no matter what. No one has a duty to develop anything for your device of choice.
Yes, and it is nice. the question is whether you value having the hardware or not, i.e. for how long your money will get you running on those servers rather than a one-time payment and keeping the cluster with you. More in general, I take issue with the attitude that the best solution to any problem is always paying some company to do the work for you. It is, if you have the same needs as everyone and a dedicated company can lower the costs, but you should always ask yourself if this is the case.

Yes but even Larry Page knows no one uses G+, so who cares...
Did she file a Police Report?
FWIW, she claims to have filed in the review.
Perhaps if she had some "issue" that was "legitimate", she should have hired a lawyer?

I cannot believe Apple can get a patent on something so old and, at this pint, so obvious.
Keep drinking and see if it still seems obvious to you.
If that is really the formula, corporations would work extremely hard to bring geek rage as near as possible to zero. Try again :)

And that is why they did not address slavery in the constitution in the first place.
Fuck that! Take your beatings like iPhone and Android. Jeezo, Microsoft (and your shills) you're a frick'n baby.
He did: the primary response to criticism from those two camps is always "but the others are bad too". So I really fail to see the difference :)
Finally, a sound marketing strategy for WP8!
