And I would say a reaction formation is your problem.

This isn't a "political blacklist". He's not being "blacklisted" first and foremost. He is being asked to resign.
Second, it's not an issue of politics. It's an issue of humanity. But unfortunately some people having equality has become a political issue and it really shows just how sick the US really is.
You mean it was disclosed because it was mandatory? If you want to play that card, the Prop 8 people were threatening businesses with boycotts well before that.
Those donations should be public. Unless one lacks the courage of ones convictions.
Brendan Eich is NOT being asked to step down because of "personal beliefs" so let's drop that BS right now. He crossed the line by donating money to actively strip away rights of individuals which is a whole different ball game. But it comes down to this even though most people won't admit it... It's still socially acceptable to be homophobic. If he had given money to the KKK or something this would not be an issue. But because it is still ok to bash gays and make/keep them second class citizens it's still a "debate"
This is why I tell clients not to use them. Because it takes some bogus copyright claim and Google rolls over and plays dead because they do not want to actually invest time and money into a system and training that actually works to weed out these abusive claims.
How about we just fund it with a sales tax on Wall Street? Because in our current situation graduates are not getting the jobs they once were. Corporations have been totally relieved of all incentives to actually create jobs to hire them.
And while this idea might work in the future, it does nothing to solve the huge $1,200,000,000,000 bubble that is starting to burst.
I've been doing it for years. I found that the best learning technique for me is to build something, blow it up, and then build it again, until the moving parts are second nature to me-- so it's handy to have a server/network I can blow up without getting fired.
A lot of the techniques and scripts I've developed on my network at home have ended up in use at client sites, and vice versa.
That went down and I think it ate some files with it. Just before the crash my client reported 103 files being removed. They weren't by me.
Amen! The reason why ad blockers became so prevalent was because ads became more and more obnoxious popping up over the content and blocking us from seeing it or annoying (not to mention bandwidth wasting) Flash animations and seizure-inducing flashes to grab our attention.
And now the IAB tells us that a "diverse internet experience" requires them to be assholes. No thank you. Because the more obnoxious and intrusive an ad is, the less likely I am to click on it, buy the product, or utilize the service.
I was going to say the same thing.
Do you have any proof that MoveOn and company were doing anything wrong? The Right Wing in this country has already proven they cannot play by the rules and break them constantly. And Right-wing groups spring up in this nation about as fast as Koch & Co can write checks to protect their precious trust-funds.
Maybe because groups like MoveOn.Org and co are *gasp* actually following the rules! It's like how these so-called fact checkers went out of their way to find things wrong with what some Democrats said in order not to appear biased because the right-wing was lying left and right.
But conversely though we live in society now where taking that assertive step is met with ridicule itself. They could have shown remorse and apologized or they could have just as easily shrugged her off and told her to get over it.
Take a look at all the bullying in schools that occurs and when called out on the carpet the response is "You're infringing on my freedom of speech!" or "You're infringing on my freedom of religion!".
I say this because your price point alone makes it very attractive to simply purchase the thing. I would just leave it at a serial number that maybe phones home for validation on install. Copy protection inevitably only hinders legitimate users.
I am curious though as to what your program is and what it does as I am a graphic designer myself as well as faculty attached to the graphic design program at the local college and I am always looking for new/cool stuff both for myself and to share with students.
No man is an island if he's on at least one mailing list.
