Well, Hollywood also has a reputation for simply stealing a script if they like it.

That post is a ridiculous misrepresentation of what happened. Assange went to police and they said the case was going to be dropped and he could go. Then he left because he had other places to be. Post flagged for spreading misinformati

>It is possible to be paid in other ways -- that do not impose on other freedoms. What ways? And if you say "selling t-shirts" then you lose.

Yay, let's use more useless emails that won't get read.

5 people are actually for it? Surely that must be trolling.

Ugh, typical example of the attitude many of us find so annoying. America has the same things going for it any first world country does. People risk their lives to get into lots of first world countries as well. Living in the first world

Well, we are talking about potentially the end of the internet.

You're making the assumption that the president is against this legislation aren't you?

If your company is dictating what you do when you're not working you either need to find out if those clauses are even binding (probably not) or just find a modern place to work. If they really control what you do when you're not on the cl

Could you summarize what that is for those of us who can't watch youtube for some hours?

Other hedges were invested in Maddof and you can bet pensions were in some of those.

They were back when they were regularly producing 12-20% returns. That hasn't been the case for years. I can't imagine why anyone is still in a 2/20 hedge.

>Does the fund manager cop 20% of the loss? Of course not. This idea that the person who carries the most (financial!) risk gets the biggest pay off rarely actually exists in the real world.

>If 30 billion is 2% of the assets, it means that they were managing 1500 billion dollars. The biggest hedge fund in the world, Bridgewater Associates, manages 125 billion dollars. Uh? I'm not sure what you're talking about here. Man

I agree with you. Personally, my strategy is to build something I want. That way, once it's done at the very least I'll have something I need.

It came pretty close actually. If the south would have had better leadership the US would be at least two countries now.

No, that's not it either. It's not that your letting people do stuff you know they can't legally be doing. It's that your pawn shop is so incredibly huge that you can't be sure what's happening everywhere at any given time. By the time y

Likewise, a right to the internet doesn't mean someone has to pay for it for you but rather that you always have the right to participate if you can afford to.

by danssig 15y ago
Internet should absolutely be a right, but that's not a burden on you. It's like the right to bear arms: a normal citizen can't be prevented from doing so, but he still has to buy them himself.

Of what use is it to think this way? It's just another excuse to not try and succeed. Life isn't going to see you sitting over there with a 10-point lower IQ potential and give you some extra breaks. If learning comes harder to you then i

Companies may be advertising it, but users don't know and don't care. I know tons of people who own Android phones and not one of them bought it because it was "Android". They all bought out of brand loyalty or physical specs. Half of th

Give it time. They are very nice, unlike the amateurish Android look and the advantages you get from the development environment can't be ignored forever.
