Intentional and extensive use of electricity and constrained compute resources resulting in expense to Google and reduced or loss of service for Google and its customers.
That's quite aside from the less tangible damaging impacts on people forced to listen to a wikipedia definition of some fucking burger.
Got out of bed this morning, usual shower, get dressed, go downstairs.. letter sat on the doormap. It's from Virgin Media informing of this change, and including a URL that I can apparently use to opt out.
No information on how or why this might benefit me, as a customer.
Also, you might want to include a NSFW warning when linking to stuff like that.
Yeah, Wikipedia's banned at my company. The local council also prosecute anybody viewing it in schools and it's a felony to include it in SMS messages.
How many TVs do you have dude? It's only $6 for each TV.
Lets see, he quoted $30. Hang on, let me find a maths graduate and a copy of Wolfram Alpha.
Either you're trolling or you own a giant building.
Lounge, kid's playroom, kitchen, bedroom, kid's bedroom, other kid's bedroom. Pretty standard sized house there and already I've blown the five TV budget.
In the UK discriminating on height would be illegal unless explicitly linked to ability to do the job - for precisely the reason you've stated. It's not a protected characteristic but the policy clearly leads to disadvantage to a protected group.
women who choose to become mothers are so heavily penalize
As a man I'll never have that sensation of giving birth, holding a child knowing it came from my body, enjoying the nurturing and raising of that new human.
Why am I being punished by being forced to work to earn money for my simple pleasures in life?
In Europe and the US having a baby is a life choice. Women can choose to contribute to the overpopulation of the planet or enjoy a healthy salary. They make that choice. Nobody punishes them for it.
Or gleefully sign away, knowing that under the law it's unenforceable.
Given that contracts are often discussed at great length in court cases by trained legal professionals I think it's reasonable to suggest that nobody can understand a contract, and so you're effectively saying that nobody should ever sign one.
I'm fairly sure I don't correctly interpret multiple legal terms in contracts that I sign. I avoid having to pay thousands of pounds to lawyers every time I sign up for a new TV, telephone, power or other service by relying on the basic 'common sense' aspect of common law. It works, you should try it.
Seems the moron is the person that didn't understand the argument.
Twitter are claiming that they're a bastion of free speech. Twitter's actions to other people demonstrates that they have no interest whatsoever in supporting actual free speech. Twitter are thus laughable hypocrits.
Of course they're free to do that. They're still comical cunts destroying their own business.
Good. Better by far to let him vent his rage on their police car then arrest him. Nobody needs to get hurt.
Tasers and rubber bullets can kill (as can a baton) and you're not going to bring a riot control van to spray water at a single individual. So I'd say they picked a good option.
Hmm. You mention UKIP but not the SNP, who had only two thirds of the votes yet over fifty times as many elected MPs?
Incidentally, UKIP effectively forced the referendum on Europe but didn't win it. If anything Farage probably lost the Leave campaign more votes than he won it.
The EU lost the referendum, along with David Cameron. A particular highlight was when he went to the EU and asked for fuck all, and they didn't even give him that. Kind of threw into perspective just how little the EU cared for the British people, as if years of contempt and derision hadn't already done that.

That's a lot of harm. How is this not malicious?

I'll opt out.
That would be the wifi transmitter that is currently disabled in my Virgin Media modem/router.
Switching that on will add contention for the Wifi bands in my house/area, almost certainly impacting on my existing networks.
I'll be opting out.
Goreanism is misogyny
Is it? You have any evidence that Goreans hate women? What about the women? Do they hate themselves?
Or are you just throwing around labels and reacting from ignorance?
No, they are not endorsing his beliefs.
Your inability to dissociate contexts and cope with nuance and ambiguity does not make them bad people.

Yeah, Wikipedia's banned at my company. The local council also prosecute anybody viewing it in schools and it's a felony to include it in SMS messages.
I would have an issue with someone who believed it was his natural right to be superior to me.
You don't want a job then. Or indeed, any social interaction.
Anyway, it's fun proving them repeatedly and consistently wrong.
Max Mosley might be hiring?
Connecting to an unsecured wifi without appropriate permission isn't legal either
My PC used an establish protocol to request a connection and the access point responded with permission.
Sorted.

You forgot to charge him for the lesson in game theory. Or is that your way of giving back?
Do you also educate them on the legal implications, risks and potential options?
Sounds fine to me. There are several thousand lifetimes worth of content out there, especially if you include written and interactive media too.
I can keep myself entertained and interested without needing to see the latest swords & tits tv programme.
Slamming a fist on the table would not be a valid negotiating tactic from one of the suppliers I work with, or any of the management at my company.
I'll happily call out anybody from the CEO down on that sort of behaviour.
Assertive: Good.
Aggressive: Unacceptable.
That explains the gender differences in suicide rate, life expectancy and mental illness then.
Oh, wait..

We have to work them as hard as we can with no vacation because we simply can't find people.
Well done, you've just described a closed-loop process.
Treat your staff well, you'll be able to hire more staff.
If developers are so fucking hard to find, why are you treating yours so shittily?
You'll save money too, as your developers will be more productive and you wont have to give them a 10% payrise every year.
Five years and you can't delay it for two weeks so everybody can actually get a break?
The issue here isn't the lack of resource.

Ooh, I like it. "Give me a 30% discount or I'll sue you for discrimination"?
Would need to know how big a discount the good hagglers get though first :(
All the mormons I know are really nice people. Some are very intelligent.
They've just been brainwashed as children and lack the ability to step away from it. I pity them. But aside from that, they're not morons.
Then again I don't know any members of the Church of the Latter Day Saints that's actually from Utah. Lovely countryside, shame about the religion.
