You mean like 'How about not practising a non XYZ religion when intolerant XYZ fundamentalists are around?

Why not apply some brain cells? How hard would that be?

She was using legal technology that has capabilities similar to most mobile phones and tablets in use today. Most likely the abusive asses who caused this conflict in the first place (and probably you, yourself) have such technology. Should we all yell, scream and bay like a pack of rabid wolves when someone takes out a cell phone with a camera, or a tablet? That one it has become fashionable for one form of the same technology to be vilified is hardly a trend worth respecting, if only because it is retarded. Go after all cameras in a public place (including the ones you carry) if you really feel that way.

What about the bar itself? Its extremely unlikely that it had no security cameras - did those same idiots, including the one who physically assaulted her, and stole her device (illegally, unlike her) not consider that? What about any other bar, shop, workplace, street, etc that they have walked down? Do they go around with balaclavas and baseball bats smashing the cameras in case they are recorded?

These people, and the people who go off half cocked in support of them and their criminal actions really need to start thinking reasonably and logically.

Oh, and before you mention reports of who hit who first, just remember that had these people not been confrontational then it would have never escalated to that level and you don't know the level of threat that was presented. Additionally, it should be reasonable to assume that she was right in feeling threatened since, were this not the case, this would never have come to pass.

So, how much better do you think some humans will translate if their language skills are not very high? Am I the only one who remembers Chinese to English translations from before the days of ubiquitous MLT (let alone today :) ) ?

Well, that comes as a big surprise to those of us who were born in one of the countries that comprise the United Kingdom. All this time we believed that Wales, England, and Scotland were each separate countries, with unique cultures and languages that were just part of the UK. Maybe history and having separate laws and legislative systems got us poor little souls confused.

How lucky we are to have such experts on the InterWebz who can set us straight.

Would this action not have put them in breach of contract? Could you not seek a termination of said contract, with subsequent loss of their 'rights' to your paper, as well as costs and compensation to yourself for both the breach and the implied dafamation? Also wouldn't there also be a spurious takedown which might help you in the other a rguments?

then you should care about the code, as well. Choice of language can have a lot of consequences for accuracy and floating rounding errors need to be accounted for, and these may differ per language and implementation version of each language.

...does it make data storage more palatable, or should the claim be taken with a pinch of salt... :)

I cannot imagine that the parent company cannot contractually discipline a franchise should they bring the brand into disrepute.

Unless the brand owner takes action to disassociate itself from this action and withdraw support from this franchise, I will not set foot in any branch or franchise of this company world-wide because I need to know that I can exercise my rights to share my fair opinions without threat of legal action should I get bad service.
