Also the amount of hits from US-based articles, being in English, should weight a lot less in comparison, and that's just one of the many factors to be considered.

It was a probably too inconspicuous joke about "lies, damn lies, and statistics". Next time I'll be more obvious about it, I promise.

" I mean, just think of large corporations that avoid paying tax or buy cheaply from sweat-shops employing child-labour."

When all else is equal...
All companies have these kind of skeletons in the closet. Chinese companies simply seem to have some more on top of those which everyone else lovingly owns.
Lack of regulation might be a reason when seeing this internally (within the country) - and then again, when all else is equal... But here we're talking about international events, and that's where you see companies A, B, C playing by the rules and company D (Chinese, more often than not) trying to cheat its way in.
No more than a couple weeks ago there was a story here on /. about Chinese students taking exams instead of the ones who should. After many, many, MANY such stories over the years one can't help but develop a stereotype.
From fake $ITEM to cheating in competitions, China seems on top of the world as count of occurrences.

I googled "chinese cheating": got 22.6M results, top results are about exam cheating.
I also googled "americans cheating", got 14.8M results, top results are about marital cheating.
Of course, this might not mean much, but it's a start. Anyone wants to send a research grant my way? :)

Chinese company caught cheating? NO WAY!
Seriously though, raise your hand if you're surprised.

Of course it was, but you're confusing the cause and the effect.
The logical buildup is crap.
I could say that cars are for the poor nowadays because in the early 1900s all cars belonged to the rich and It'd be wrong.

Which makes no sense as a comparison.
Tech literacy amongst those with Internet access was higher because Internet Access availability was lower. The OP is confusing the cause with the effect.

Cause: internet Access required technical literacy.
Effect: Only those with technical literacy were accessing the Internet.

And you did what about it?

Blame the widows, not the orphans!

What the fuck are you talking about.
Technical literacy in the 80s was way worse than now. It was the IT availability which was way smaller.
there were also way less computer viruses, much less interconnection between computers, way less standardization, etc. A multitude of factors which made IT very different from what it is now.

Maybe not in the States, where you still have swipe credit cards. Which don't require a PIN code to work!
And I agree with the GP, the analogy is horribly built.

Use PLEX. It's free (with some premium features) and works like a charm.

I have been testing TFS and got a parsing error at "(way to many)".

Having over 50% young females on my floor, I vote for this.

He bought something he doesn't know what ELSE to do with. But fine, be a jackass.

I'm doing that right now :)

Hey man, how are the 90s?
