Doesn't matter, in the end all members of the class action lawsuit will receive a coupon for a free copy of Windows 10 for their damages. The lawyers will be paid in cash.

Actually, courts have established that the first amendment does not necessarily allow anyone to lie and distort things as much as they wish. There are limitations. It's just that some people are better than others at skirting along tha

If you can generalize all people in a wide-area political spectrum as all are "ends justify the means", then I would suggest you meet more people in that spectrum before denouncing them as a group.

Oh sure, they could lie. It's not that these people are necessarily demanding laws about the company lying, it's more a suggestion that it's not a nice thing to do. It is the outcry of people with little power to do anything

That's because it's comparing apples to oranges. Liberal/Conservative in America is not necessarily the same as Liberal/Conservative elsewhere.

Facebook admitted to the problem, so those people may be wrong about Fox News but in this case they were correct with Facebook. Just because someone is wrong about one thing doesn't automatically make them wrong on everything else. Tha

It's not always that. Most of the thinking I've heard about this is not to control what Facebook may or not do. Many critics say that Facebook is a private company and can do what they want. The complaint among them is that Facebo

There are accusations that he's sucking up to Facebook for more exposure to save his failing web enterprises. I don't know enough to say which is which, but there's almost always another side to the story.

Oddly enough there's enough leeway that they are all correct, from a certain point of view.

I have gone to such events without a telescope and most of them were more than happy to let us take a peek. One of them let my oldest daughter request objects to see and he entered the request in one of those nice automated setups.

I was going by this statement: "Hair stylists work with extremely sharp implements extremely close to major blood vessels." Which implies something more than a knick on the skin that the injured customer then refuses to treat resu

Resisting arrest means you haven't been arrested yet. If he was already under arrest then he couldn't resist it. He was being detained. If he were under arrest then there's procedure to that which has to be followed. But whil

As the hypothetical rich guy; as an employee I own none of these companies, it's a tangled web of ownership of companies owning companies. But sadly none of them make any profit and have very little in terms of capital. I even have to

Was it possible the tax laws made the rate higher but allowed more ways to avoid paying the highest rates?

Not quite true? It isn't true and easily proven so with a few minutes research. One could say it's so close to zero that it barely factors though.

Such things have been done. It's a matter of researching the people responsible and trying to figure out what they would respond to. Bring enough folks to the public outcry and maybe they will see your point. There are several movies t

There may be no current sales but I don't see how you can claim there will be no sales in the future. A retail release has nothing to do with copyright. I can have copyright over something I've created, never offer it for sale to

A free version online would inhibit sales of any future releases if they choose to do so. Just because you can't legally purchase it today doesn't allow you to harm the future sales of tomorrow.
