That's the most common outcome, but it doesn't always work that way. It is possible for the court to hold the corporate officers or investors personally liable. It's called piercing the corporate veil. Doesn't happen too frequently, but it happened to Limewire (http://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2010/05/limewire_smacke.htm), who played in the same space, just a few years ago.

Somewhere there's a terrorist reading your post and saying "that's what I'm talking about!".

You say that, but why have nearly all distros moved to systemd? You're saying there's not a sound technical reason for it? NIH makes sense as a criticism in a few areas, but linux distros, largely run for free by hobbiests? They're imposing it on themselves for no good reason? Really?

Agree but i've had problems with Mint for a while, and the official forums for it are dead; you're much more likely to get help on AskUbuntu or UbuntuForums, so I've gone back to Ubuntu then upgraded the ui to xfce. Problem solved! (I tried briefly but unity is still a mixture of awful and buggy).

I don't need an AI to tell me I have cancer that's what WebMd does already!

You're stating it wrong. When someone is dead you can say what you want about them.

But people want browsers to run applications. It would probably be better if chrome ran android apps, or languages other than javascript (java, perhaps), so that it wasn't a hack to do anything other than say "here's your webpage".

It's a global industry. You sell your products worldwide. Why shouldn't you have to compete against global talent?

To be fair, does a company like reddit need a lot of talent? It's basically just a big website and doesn't produce any of its own content.

Bad negotiators will be undervalued in the market so they should be able to pick up the same talent for less.

Except they're not trying to hire negotiators.

Except it's generally men who get to decide what 'wrong' negotiating is and that's what the problem is.

After development, trees are usually planted - sometimes where there used to be no trees. What is the net gain/loss of trees across ALL development, not just development taking place in a forest...

A forest is an ecosystem, not just a bunch of trees.

Actually, they finished filming a lot earlier, but Clarkson decided to go drinking for several hours whilst the helicopter waited for him. By the time he returned to the hotel the chef had gone home. It was entirely his own fault.

They weren't blacklisted. Stop with your damn conspiracy. IT was a movie in an industry that knows full well beginning actors aren't in the union.

You get your card AFTER you have done some work.
