As for as the corporate psychopaths are concerned control main stream media and you control the world. Psychopaths, whilst content to conspire together to lie, cheat, steal and kill, the rest of us being the targets, they know full well, the greatest threat to them, is each other. That merger would simply place too much power in the hands of one group of psychopaths for the rest of them to accept. Any threat to that power base is attacked ie right now the Sony group is attacking RT News by working to censor it off their products on products like purposefully dumbed down so called smart TVs, active political targeted corporate censorship and a real warning of what is to come.

So you can bet that merger will be off the table. They all know just like M$ shenanigans, once one of them becomes big enough all alliances are off the table as it will ruthlessly attempt to drive all the others out of business and directly take over the US government just as News Corporation and Fox not-News are trying to do.

However there are odd shifts developing as older wealthy psychopaths are now looking a younger poorer psychopaths as the greatest threat, even their own family members. Better to keep what you have, rather than risk it all, too what, enable their greatest threat, poor psychopaths to gain wealth and power to use against them. Better a physical monument too themselves than allowing a trust fund junior psychopath to kill them because their allowance was reduced.

Just because you own the diary, does not mean you own the contents. It is pretty clear what happens to the assets of criminals, especially with regard to crimes against humanity and especially when those assets have value derived from the commitment of those crimes. The content is public domain and any attempt to derive individual profit by claiming ownership of the content tend to place the person claiming that as also sharing the liability for how the value was derived for that content.

Assuming he can afford his own lawyer and is willing to fight it despite being offered a slap on the wrist, loss of property, and a leash on his freedoms or risk 10 years in prison.

If he insists on a trial he can expect a long and expensive road where they drains him until he pleads guilty no matter what

Nothing like releasing your review the day after units start shipping, ie when it's too late to find out the unit's faults.

Goddammit I hate embargos...the only reason they exist is to hide flaws and problems from people who could get a refund. Ray, stop being the industry's bitch. You have a ton of readers, tell gadget makers to pound sand if they tell you that you can't release a review before it ships.

"Christ, there goes one of those lepers..."

And in other news, MakerBot CEO Jonathan Jaglom will receive a bazillion dollar bonus, and another ten bazillion dollars in stock options. It's predicted he will end his term as CEO by urinating and defecating and the smoldering corpse of MakerBot before seeking greener pastures to assrape and pillage.

When asked for comment, Mr. Jaglom replied "I'd just like to say fuck you all very much!"

That was a pretty interesting study, and does show that the underlying behaviors of canids and humans have some degree of compatibility and overlap, and it does not require a large amount of breeding to produce domesticated canids. The fox experiments (I think they were done in Russia) demonstrate that the domestication of wolf progenitor populations into dogs was probably fairly rapid, which also raises the likelihood (strongly hinted it in the molecular data) that there were multiple wolf domestication events. And even for all of that, dogs still remain simply a number of subgroups of C. lupis, and still enjoy interfertility with other members of genus Canus.

So your claim is all of the advertising agencies are defrauding all of their customers with commercials that have no value but wait if that were true how could they sell their customers on the idea of commercials. Sorry dude, one way, ads are a fraud or there is a real and disgusting reason why they pay doctorates in psychology such high wages, especially the psychopaths. All people are not created equal, some people, in fact the majority (keep in mind 100 IQ as average and the people who are manipulating them have far higher IQ, can be more readily victimised by commercials.

Not to forget the "slimy pieces of worm-ridden filth." (Jabba the Hutts all) specifically also target children and that is seriously sick. So yeah a big ole FU to those people who think it is alright to scam the vulnerable to feed their insatiable greed, as for the lie children are to blame for their victimisation by professional adults, let me guess you have a dirty white van with lots of boiled lollies in the back (I know you don't but seriously dude, you deserved that).

Now to play the neutral bad guy, at least in both parties eyes. Targeted advertisements, this is what the fight is about, who controls the scam and who makes the most money from it.

Consider this, legal responsibility for targeted adds. Consider you are a type 2 new on the market diabetic and they target you with high sugar content foods, what is their legal liability for purposefully doing and endangering your life, keeping in mind they are either trying to manipulate you into harming yourself or they are claiming advertising does not work.

So who do you blame for obesity, McDonald or the people who promote McDonald and target their ads at people who they also target with dieting ads. They really did open up a whole new can of worms with targeted advertisements, purposefully designed messages to manipulate your choices against your interests to generate income regardless of harm.

Honestly show a sugar rich junk food commercial to a person on record suffering from type 2 diabetes and you should go to jail because you intent is to psychologically manipulate their choices to the point of self harm because GREED.

So M$ or Google, meh, both just as fucking evil as each other. I just preferred the kernel under Android ;).

Of course there is always doing away with the first stage or more accurately leaving it on the ground, the BB gun approach. Take a long tube, under vacuum, insert launch vessel under magnetic support and release compressed air behind the launch vessel, to accelerate it up the tube to achieve desired speed and the highest reasonable launch altitude. Now to improve the qualities of the compressed air, use hydrogen and oxygen and ignite it, within the tube behind the launch vessel. A really long tube with multiple ignition points, which kick off once the launch vessel has passed, to ensure desired pressure is maintained. Basically an extended ignition gun with much reduced shock and acceleration distributed across the length of the barrel. Small, low altitude satellites a speciality.

PS forgot to mention, if you seriously do want a job at TATA learn about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Now once you understand, cricket , you will be able to communicate more effectively with the management at TATA. Things like, you don't go to the cricket to cheer your team, you go to the cricket to share companionship with friends and, enjoy a picnic at a sporting venue, where 'both teams' will demonstrate, skill, strategy, concentration and good sportsmanship (this is why Americans do not understand cricket and why they will prefer people that do, it's a state of mind).

I thought they simply just renegotiated your contract. One way negotiation, either accept the wage we will be offering the cheapest H1B worker we can find or quit and staff is replaced over time as they leave.

As for TATA and preference for south Asian workers, very likely those Indians at TATA feel the sting of American rascim every where they go and are simply trying to avoid it as much as possible at work. 'American Exceptionlism' causes all sorts of problems and American Politicians feed right into it because that smarmy ego stroking, do it hard enough and often enough, makes Americans cum votes (really all rather pathetic), shit, don't do it often enough and they call you a traitor to your face, al la Fox not-News.

Seriously who the fuck wants to compete with China's wages. Hostile to business, damn fucking right hostile to business. Keep pushing that B$ and you'll see how hostile it ends up and we are not just talking Australia but the whole 'western world'. If paying for imports is a problem, well, Australian just needs to smarten up and stop importing anything, it not like it is really necessary and that the capability of producing everything it needs can not be achieved (primary resources being the key, those with, versus the parasitical countries with their funny money, those without or just not enough).

All of it, or part of it, what designed rate of rotation and before or after a parachute is deployed to get it to design deployment speed, of course the tank is now a empty vessel by far the majority of mass is gone and how well the balance between centrifugal action and air pressure is handled in deployment. Banged up, is always better than blown up.

What definition? I was just formulating an element of designed for security and not the totality of it, just one rule. Design is not a definition, design is a continual process (now that is a definition, well, only in part ;) ).
