I don't see how. The laws aren't saying that you don't need to believe in god (Buddhism doesn't have one), but you just cannot stop others believing in their religion. Note that he isn't promoting Buddhism, but Atheism:

The posting was made on a Facebook Page titled Ateis Minang (Minang Atheist), which Aan created.

I worked minimum wage jobs when I came to America, and I've climbed, by studying and hard work, to where I am now (pretty at the upper middle class bracket.) I can tell you that you simply cannot live at a hamburger flipping salary. How? You cannot even pay rent with that. People who have those jobs (and I know because I've been there) have to lump themselves together with relatives or friends and edge a meager existence.

So not only did you succeed improving your own life and getting a better job after a while, you also provided solution to the renting costs - just rent out the place with a few friends, girlfriend or relatives. What is so horrible about that? Why do you need your own place, especially when you're young. The only reason for that is entitlement thinking and not wanting to work towards getting those things later.

Many of the people don't want to leave the factories. They have it better there than working in some farm or really poor areas. Suicide nets and people are only talking about them because it feels like they're there just because so many workers are unhappy. In reality, when you have so many people working in these factories (it's almost a mid-sized country), there are going to be suicides, just like there is in the US, other countries and cities. Since the people are living there, the suicides also happen at the work place. Suicide nets are only used because it generated so much bad PR because people couldn't think about the real reason.

Oh please... "general laziness and not wanting to do it", way to make broad generalizations. As if every Asian person in the world would up and leave where they grew up or have family to go find a job as well.

I would love to see you just pack up and leave to go somewhere where "jobs exists". Especially when you don't already have a job there already. That's quite a risky proposition and it's always easier said then done.

Actually, many Asians do. On top of that, I have relocated to Asia because the living costs are cheaper (and it's nicer there) while my pay is still the same. Of course there is some risk involved, but usually things just work out if you aren't so strict about everything. People have done this from the beginning of time. Why do you think Rome spread, and why you do you think we as humans are living around the world and not just everyone in a single place we grow up at?

Living costs are also much lower in China. And are you saying that there isn't a single job available in the US, not even in industries that aren't directly what you want to do or that require lots of manual hard work? People just don't want to do them if it doesn't interest them, isn't available where they happen to live or there's prejudices and "I'm too good for that job" against the work (ie., working as a burger flipper or a stripper).

What interests me is the promotion of these jailbreaks as a good thing. It's an exploit, after all. That allows the attacker to completely root your device, often just by visiting a website. It's not only limited to iOS either, this is rampant in Android too. The only current devices with no known exploits are Windows Phone 7 based, which is very telling.

No you won't be hit with trademark infringement lawsuit. You're not claiming "Walt Disney's Steamboat Willy" as your own product or company, you're only allowing user to download it. That's fair use. Likewise, companies are allowed to use their competitors names when doing product comparisons or other things like that (if they're honest). You just aren't allowed to claim it as your own product.
