Which reveals the lie that business serves people. Competition, free markets, best product wins, blah, blah, blah. It's all nonsense.

It seems fairly obvious to me, that internet has pretty much replaced the phone system, cable tv, even broadcast tv and radio. As such it really is something that should be subject to universal standards, and not left entirely to the profit

It looks fake to me. But if true, it's not a real thinkpad then.

Let's see where Intel is in 5 years now the MBAs, finance and legal are running the show again. Pat may not have turned the ship around, but it looked like he was starting to stop the rot at least.

Is this like the proclamation that Islamic-state/ISIS should be called 'Daesh', to draw people away from the conjunction of 'state' and violence? Some countries are scammer h(e)avens, but when that fact is reported,

"there is no evidence that children benefit from parental care, rather than institutional care" I think that quote tells you all you need to know, to judge how much economists should influence the way we live.

"there's a part of me somewhere else." This. Although I'm not sure this merits my quote book. I would phrase it as "there's a big part of me that's someone else" maybe.

"Birmingham’s relatively low wind speeds " Is there a clue in there somewhere? IMHO we should carefully pick our climate/energy fights, and install whatever tech is most appropriate, even if that's 'nothing, here, b

omg I didn't notice that had changed. The mos://a logo is (was) iconic and completely sums up what the org should be about. To me the new logo looks like a dinosaur, or a lizard or a snake. Quite appropriate.

Har har. I've just had the third experience over just a couple of months, where FF has completely lost all my tabs etc. Previously I've been able to recover some state by moving the sessionstore-backups files around, but this time

"Documented? A foreign nation won't really give us the docs buddy." So how do you know this 'fact' then? It's possible it was deliberate of course. But for now there is only circumstantial evidence and brazen f

I'm fairly confident that if there was any evidence what so ever of sabotage, we'd be hearing it now, loud and clear. Perhaps not the 'who' but certainly the 'done it'.

So is there some evidence of sabotage? Now that they've repaired the damage they should know, right? Or was this whole thing all just manufactured accusations and scaremongering by the western governments and press?
