Clearly your unqualified to comment on something you no nothing about.

In the US, its the constitution Axioms which protect citizens from abusive 3rd world dictatorial abusers like the moronic employer who thought they could just suspend this ladies freedom of speech as if they were a government power. It also is the sounding board state and federal bureaucrats and the average every day citizens use in principle to prevent abuses.

It was the government which reminded the petty point haired bosses they have no standing, and you think they did it for her to be generous?

My opinion is;
It should have been obvious to the pointy haired bosses they would loose the case when their lawyers explained the territory in which they found themselves was not a 3rd world country. Pointy haired bosses everywhere should know if your going to be a petty dictator, find a 3rd world country to be it in.

Hooyaaa out to the founders of the US Constitution!
This is where the foundation of US freedom shines brightest.

Guess what she wrote they did not want to refute and it must not have been malicious or surely a competent lawyer would have advised them to they would have advised to bring slander libel suit before loosing the war of public opinion.

Talk about profound and poor legal decisions on the part of the pointy haired boss & lawyers.

Obligatory, That's what she said.

Yes because this is /. and we all have aging robotic overlords in need of a tech refresh

Bingo, your right on the money. One has to wonder how that conversation went.

I picture a guy raising his ringer twirling it around his goatee saying "Sure no user would expect a full featured motherboard, and we predict demand will be even Higher the next cycle when its made whole, besides we all know consumers have the attention span of the common Afghan sand flea!"

Well call it Profit ++, thanks Intel!
