Microsoft is no monopoly. There is Mac OS X, of course. Except United States v Microsoft Corporation turned this argument on its head.

Thankfully, United States v Microsoft Corporation solved this particular dilemma in 2001.

Chrome came bundled and set as the default browser on my phone.

Three strike laws, zero tolerance, the War on Drugs and prison profiteering have resulted in a generations of poor or black males who will spend the majority of their adult lives in prison.

It's unfortunate that the trend for law enforcement agencies is to shield individual agents and officers from any personal culpability. They'll get a month of paid leave, the agency pays out and they get to return to the same position with the same pay.

The only lesson learned is that their coworkers, bosses and justice system will bend over backwards to make sure that they can get away with abuse and injustice without repercussions.

There are less addictive anxiolytics out there that won't kill you upon cessation. Opinion is shifting towards doling a few of them out to stop severe panic attacks and using other methods for treating anxiety.

Go to a psychiatrist and they'll tell you the best things for anxiety and mental health are: Exercise + a proper diet + sleep habits, reasonable to no alcohol/drug use, meditation, therapy and medication as last resort.

Try those first five things before popping pills, there are steps you can follow to make that feeling manageable and eventually extinguish the anxiety loop.

Make it worthwhile for someone to test how 'secure' this system is before touting that title.

An audit or a bounty with no limitations on rendering the system insecure. An example of how not to do this would be the Telegram contest sham.

Not burning as many calories through exercise over time as previously thought?

Altered metabolism that allowed her to pull more nutrients from her food or store them easier?

The amount of blogs that require javascript for the designer's special snowflake layout are what kill me.

Because the blockchain is the pinnacle of plausibly deniable liquidity.

Congratulations, you were born with Monsanto mDNA Correction! Due to intellectual property restrictions, you must attain a license to activate your reproductive system and pass on our genetic code.

There's a genetic modification for that.

We computer professionals think we'll be or are part of that aristocracy, so it's okay.

Agonism isn't antagonism. Though, some of the first and newer antidepressants are antagonists or mixed agonist/antagonist. Some forgo significant SERT binding altogether.

Their simple narrative wouldn't have been torn apart by LSD research anymore than the industries other offerings.

So there is something intrinsic about the status quo that is different from the past and that means the rules have changed.

This justifies expanding the definition of terrorism as anything intending to effect change in society that can be deemed harmful or for political ends.

As a representative, is it an act of terrorism if your constituency persuades you to vote in a way that is economically harmful to the country if it benefits your state or ideology?

A man in the desert blows a stop sign in the name of Allah and the NYPD is not around to stop him from resisting, is it an act of terrorism?

Terrorism detective skills like these are only acquired through working for the TSA.

Apply the same logic to any communication network, say telephones.

An investor associated with that venture went out of his way to spill the beans and probably would hand it over unknowingly if asked nicely.

But I agree with your conclusion.

Why run a tracker when the operator makes for a nice "organized cybercrime mastermind" to nail after you extort and put away seeders?

Certainly not criminal. The Apache license has stipulations for attribution, if someone is claiming your copyrighted work as their own and stripping attributions to attain funds then it could be argued that the code was distributed among them against the license and with the intention of violating it for financial gain.

How much do you care? According the Apache license they must keep original copyright attribution in all source files that include them. If they're stripping get litigious.

Go for a consultation. Decide if its viable to go after them. If it isn't, those investors should know that they're investing in dishonest crooks who probably don't have any qualms with misdirection of funds.

Congratulations, you have a low maintenance system built on solid technology.

New isn't better, especially when it's rehashing the same problem that was solved decades ago.

We have selected you for further screening. Something about suspicious posts on the internet.

"isn't hackable" isn't feasible to the layman, and I'd argue for even security professionals. You can take measures to make it difficult to hack, but to say you can make a system unhackable through those means is false as well.

There are just too many layers of abstraction to exploit to say a system isn't hackable.

I'd agree. There are some jobs which are not profitable and need supplementary funding to be done.

But in our modern capitalist system, if you're working for someone, you have a job because more value can be extracted from the work you do than what you're paid. The same holds true if the business you work for is being subsidized by the government. Your employer is still skimming off a profit from the subsidy.

The worker and employer should decide what fair wage is, but this means that they should have an equal ground to negotiate on. Large groups of organized well-funded and well-lawyered people are setting the compensation rules for an unorganized and financially desperate pool of labor. Negotiations for fair pay cannot happen in those circumstances. Labor has all the cards stacked against them. Laws that limit the ability of or outright ban organized labor need to be repealed to that end.

Voting with your wallet might have a small effect, but that requires consumers to be well versed in how each business runs and compensates their workers. When the trend is that the majority of workers and yourself have been consistently given the shaft for decades, it is difficult to enact change solely through educated consumption.

What's with the union hate? Unions are corporations for workers. They are trying to maximize their compensation from the amount of value that their workers create, just as business owners are trying to maximize the profit they scrape off their workers.

They are fighting for a fairer wage for their constituents, and if such organizations existed for the majority of laborers, we wouldn't need a minimum wage.

But that's beside the point. A fair minimum wage is important because in 2013, 88.7% of American workers did not have a union to negotiate just compensation for them.

A job exists so that surplus value can be extracted from labor.

If an owner will not pay a worker a fair wage, some might find profiting from their undervalued labor as morally abhorrent.

I hope that people would choose to support businesses that fell in line with their values.

Use contextlib to write your context managers. Thought the exception handling code was going to catch the all-encompassing use of 'except:' but nope. Don't do that.

I agree that it's best to assume earnestness in opinions, I disagree with your opening. There absolutely is a reason for the NSA to give a fuck what you or I think. They are an intelligence and security agency, operating covertly with plausible deniability is what they do. More importantly, there are laws trying to be passed that can strengthen or weaken their funding and power. Making people at home feel that the agency needs to keep up the good work is not a waste of funds to that end.

They just got caught with their pants down spying on the American people. If they don't try to take hold of the narrative they might see themselves at the shit end of the political stick.

Someone whose life is affected by having a car and a few grand taken from them v. Xe Domestic Security, Ltd

Prosecution: Xe stole my car and rent money and now I have no way to earn enough credits to buy my insulin and keep my apartment.

Defense: The offender was found travelling in an erratic and suspicious manner. As per the agreement made by travelling on Private Road Supranational's private road, the traveler is subject to searches of their person and vehicle if suspected of engaging in certain dangerous activities outlined in Section VI of the contract. In addition, any property suspected of use in a criminal or dangerous activity will automatically have its ownership transferred to Private Road Supranational, as detailed in Section V. Furthermore, we have no record of ever confiscating any of the offender's property.

Judge, brought to you by Lockheed Martin: This seems to be a pretty open and shut case.
