The fact that your company is a dinosaur is not anyone else's problem. Microsoft does not care about losing your "business", which would consist of upgrading away from Windows 7 in 2019.

Who would you rather have know your browsing history? Google or Microsoft. No way IE doesn't have some secret phone home feature.

All true, except narrow-minded bible thumpers haven't committed any genocides lately.

LOL, good luck suing Microsoft when Office fucks up and causes you some sort of damages. They are liable for nothing, and might eventually patch the bug if they deem it worth fixing.

This stupid Republican troll once blamed Republicans for rent increases in San Francisco! As if Republicans have any power there whatsoever.

The internet is especially threatening to the Religion of Peace, as it exposes them for who they really are.

This is one case where I enjoy seeing the lawyers rake in the money at the expense of their asshole clients (both sides). Why Apple and Samsung don't settle this pissing match is beyond me. This can't possibly benefit either company.

Sadly, this should be modded Informative.

Now that Comcast will soon be the nation's only cable company, why don't they just tell the networks they will no longer pay for their channels once the current contract is up? What are the networks going to do, lose nearly all of their viewers overnight?

It's the airlines. The only "service" industry job where you can treat your customers like shit and keep your job. Well, that and working for Comcast. Any customer service oriented company would can this abusive bitch on the spot.

"Climate Change" has nothing to do with actually cutting energy use for big business. It only exists for big business to profit from trading carbon credits, etc. The price will be paid by the consumer, in the form of higher prices for everything you buy. Startup companies will soon be a thing of the past (except for stupid social networking/advertising companies), as only large established monopolies will be able to afford the required environmental impact fees.

Whatever the issue, France can always be counted on to do the dumbest thing possible. Why does anyone even do business there anymore? The meager amount of business they would get can't possibly justify the hassle.

You must live in a terrible area. In any metro area with any amount of economic activity, you could definitely find a job within a decade even if you aren't the greatest.

While there certainly are H1Bs from various nations who are very talented and capable, they are not the ones that will be willing to work for peanuts. Someone who is good at what they do and in demand is smart enough to know they can make more money and will demand first world pay. The H1Bs that will work for peanuts are either low-skilled or just don't have much experience and will leave your cheapass company just as soon as someone else offers them a little more money which won't take long. Any way you slice it, top talent requires top pay. Companies that just want cheap labor will be forever surprised when their projects are constantly behind schedule and low quality.

That's how it works for public union employees in Democratic controlled parts of the United States, which is largely why their pensions are all essentially bankrupt.
