Except it's really easy for people to avoid Sony's bullying. All they have to do is not involve themselves in Sony products or services. Ever. That is so easy.

MAC filters, hidden SSID

Those don't do anything. MACs can be found by outsiders not connected to your network despite how encrypted the network is. Hidden SSIDs aren't anything either. The same tools that will display the MACs will also show all hidden SSIDs within range.

Sure, they block the average user, but anyone who wants to get in will have no trouble at all.

That's really only the case if you're installing packages from the AUR that are unmaintained or have a lazy maintainer. With the recent python3 switch, everything not in AUR (since that is user maintained), was updated to point to the appropriate python executable.

OR, the issue is that you're performing selective upgrades. Which, in that case, of course you're going to run into library issues. ANY rolling release OS is meant to be fully upgraded whenever an upgrade is performed, otherwise you risk breaking everything.

With Arch, it only breaks if you break it, since you have total control over everything.

Opera hasn't had ads for nearly half a decade now. Where are you?

I'm pretty sure Opera had drop shadows far before Firefox. I don't count rounded corners since Firefox did it using -moz... CSS options. That's not really a standard, now, is it?

Hm, nope.. Not seeing why I need extensions.

You're right. Unions, when done right and behaving in the original spirit of the idea, are extremely beneficial to everyone. The employees get more money and the employers get happier employees. Happier employees perform better.

The problem is that no one ever hears about the good unions.

I wish I had mod points...

Basically your government is a tyrannical corporation. What's your reasoning for that? Just because you don't like the way things are done there?

Learn to refile your W-4 or wait until your tax refund. Either way, you're take-home pay still increased.

So if the wealthy love income tax, why are the wealthy fighting income tax?

If a CEO wants to lobby for a cause, he can do that as a citizen, since he is one, with his own resources. But he should not be able to use his company and his company's resources to lobby for that cause. He is a citizen. His company is not.

It's not the best idea, yeah, but that's not at all what he said. He said 100% above 500k, not 100%. So you're still entitled to earn five hundred thousand dollars a year. Anything ABOVE that will go to the government. So those making a million a year only see half of it, with the other half going to the government. It's not a good idea, no one will go for it, but at least learn some reading comprehension before you berate his idea.

You know, I never thought of taxes as "reinvesting in our country." I mean, I dislike them as much as the next guy, and I'll oppose obscenely high rates, but I understand what they're used for and why they should be paid. But the way you phrased that makes it sound almost patriotic, which it kind of is. Thanks for that phrasing, I think I'll use it from now on if you don't mind.
