Concerts don't generally pack people into sealed areas with no provisions for leaving the venue(which in the case of the airline, is the plane at 35,000). As for cars, the same generally applies - as you can pull over to a safe area and exit in a speedier manner. Air travel has no such advantages, so a certain degree of comfort is expected at minimum - enough that people have no thought to warrant a diverted flight.

If you're going to be packed in a crammed space, cannot leave it, and it is not punitive in nature, it is a generally bad idea to do extra charges. That, and bad customer service might work for the bean counters that end up having enough status to escape their design, but not everyone is fortunate enough to have it.

After the bean-counters were allowed to design airplane layouts, they forgot about the people that had to sit in them.

Then people wonder why consumers want regulation in air travel to smack these practices down.

Now what would happen if nobody could hide economic development decisions, such as the relocation of companies between states? That is, that any decision to move, no matter how small or early, had to be publicly disclosed - and that all existing records had to be made public? That would anger thieving states like Georgia, who have no qualms about removing history from Northern states, while providing a chance for states to make an agreement.

Or, you can have the status quo, which encourages blood-feud between states.

Statistically speaking, that's a rare enough position that it is an exception. Besides, employers can do more damage with the same position over multiple people and jurisdictions - as they are favored by government over workers.

You can rationalize it all you want, but tax "avoidance" really is the same concept as tax evasion.

Some people just need to take this person's advice before modding down truthful information.

If they have to throw everything and the kitchen sink to shut up critics, it doesn't look good for them.

Consider the deeds of professional victim-manipulators like:
Anita Sarkeesian, who can make a convincing, but fake, death threat on herself.
Chelsea Van Valkenburg, aka Zoe Quinn, who reached out many forums to clean out dissent - when she was called out on corruption.
Maya Felix Kramer, an individual that aided/abetted Ms. Van Valkenburg.

In addition, consider that various unrelated sites carried essentially the same message, "Gaming is dead", at about the same time. They won't allow anyone to say the truth or present evidence that journalistic integrity in gaming has died. All they permit is the party line - which supports these professional victims.

Crying "misogyny" won't help when people are calling them out on the real issue - their lack of integrity when it comes to developers and game journalism. Trying to shut critics up on multiple forums won't help to control the message - since nothing has stopped it.

Of course, this might not appeal to some, but modbombing this won't make the issue go away.

If you don't mind spending a bit more, there is the hummingboard which has a better USB implementation and options for gigabit ethernet/wifi/bluetooth. In addition, it runs more conventional distributions of Linux (iirc, Debian armhf).

The folks at Mozilla would beg to differ unless they're stopped NOTFIXing gcc on it.

Wouldn't mind if they would done their part to keep the slightly older, but still-viable CHRP systems in the loop. AIX is one thing, but dropping it from Linux just seems odd.

AFAIK, it seems like the only way you can still build for POWER3 is if you build the toolchain not to be crippled or go with a fully 32-bit system.

If you've not followed things, they've tried to drop anything below POWER4 for support. Perfectly fine POWER3-II's get arbitrary cuts.

Now that IBM's let Lenovo bastardize their x86 platforms, that only leaves the stuff that no normal person could hope to afford - POWER.

Perhaps they could come up with some entry point that doesn't have EOL written all over it.

Thank her and someone related to Kassie Washington for the dhimmitude:

Thankfully Slashdot isn't getting the SJW treatment. But if this gets downmodded, you can probably tell who modbombed me.

Congratulations, you just proved that it won't fail the test of targeting one party.

If they're willing to go far enough to pass that law, I wouldn't put it past them to pre-emptively shut down some tax domiciles.
