Seems like whenever Dart is in HN, we hear a lot of FUD and slogans. Do you even know what Dart is?

Absolutely, for this type of work Deluxe paint would make him more productive because of much better zoom tools and palette management.

I am not trivializing, I am away from the country for long time, I am really trying to understand. So from what you wrote I think that you agree with me, they are mainly rioting because police is using excessive force to rioters?

I read, listened hundreds of things about events, but honestly, all I see is vague hand wavy things about the real cause. "Lack of adequate response.. No official plans to celebrate May 19.. No alcohol sale after 10pm.." Seriously? I maen r

So they fined a company which controls almost entire European Government infrastructure. Company screws up, gets fined, things will continue business as usual, Microsoft still can do whatever they want, at least in the medium term. What EU
