The "rape" he is being accused of is a radical feminist definition. He is a male being prosecuted by a society where males are subject to discrimination. Not fair.

He is in a similar situation to a black man accused of rape in Alabama during the 1920s.

Developers who want to be paid really well should do what I did, go where the money is.

First step, learn the ropes.

Second step, use your knowledge of software to program your way to riches.

The British people who elected her obviously disagree with you.

She was elected after the policies of the Labour party dumped the country in the worst economic crisis in UK history

Labour had policies based upon raising the income tax without any regard for cutting government expenses. They claimed government spending and inflation are good for the economy. Sound familiar?

It seems that these days IP legislation tries to swallow everything. Nothing is safe from IP laws.

It's time to reverse that trend, most of the DMCA should be considered unconstitutional anyhow. If someone sold me a device, why can't I tear it apart to see how it was built?

Patents and copyrights exist for making sure no one needs to keep trade secrets. The intent of those laws is to let people learn about the technical details behind the technology.

Having laws that restricts the liberty of learning goes against every principle of a civilized society.

Consoles are anachronistic by now. They are remnants of an age when there was a TV set in the living room and the family gathered there to watch. Back in those old days, a color monitor was an expensive item, so much that it made sense to use the family TV as a monitor.

Today, when people carry in their pockets a device with a screen that offers much better resolution than the TV screen did, consoles make no sense at all, at least not for the consumer.

There is only one group that benefits from the console system today, the game publishers. Consoles are what enables them to save money in development, because the range of hardware that they must support is limited, while at the same time allowing them to pump the prices up, by using DRM.

Let me godwin that for you: Hitler was elected by proportional voting. Nazis rose to power in Germany in one of those convoluted negotiations that countries with proportional voting do all the time.

An extremist has little chance of being elected when candidates are chosen to represent a district. In any given geographical area, there are different sorts of people, therefore moderates are much more likely to get elected.

Under a proportional system, things are different. It's easy to find enough supporters for any extremist view, if you count votes all over the country. And when you try to make a coalition with extremists, who do you think will end with all the power?

A coalition government often has 45% of moderate politicians for one side, 45% of moderates for the other side, and the power ends in the hand of the 10% of extremists who can choose to support one or the other side.

Imagine if one and only one of them is lying. Which one?

If the guilty one is lying, they are both claiming the other one did it.

If the innocent one is lying for the other one, then they both agree that the not guilty one did it!

So, in your theory, the one who says he didn't do it is guilty of rape, and the one who admits he did it is guilty of conspiracy?

No, there isn't. They don't give upvotes to everyone here.

For scripting text editing, I have a full range of options. For simple tasks, I use bash + sed, for more complex tasks I use Perl, when I need to perform some very complex editing in a million lines of code, bison is the choice.

Are you a Brazilian lawyer? If not, how do you know Brazilian trade mark law requires that?

The decision to deny Apple the use of the iPhone trade mark was made by the Brazilian federal agency for intellectual property, one must assume they know what they are doing.

Who cares about the desktop, desktop computers are dead and gone.

The current trend is about phones and tablets, Microsoft spent so much effort in dominating the desktop that right now they have a monopoly on a fading trend.

Free software will adapt, it can follow and lead trends like commercial software cannot.

Right now, Linux is starting to dominate the phones and tablets segment, like it has dominated the server and big scientific machines for several years already.

Let's put it this way, suppose you signed a contract to work for $50,000 a year. What if your employer told you you can survive for $25,000, therefore that's what they will pay you?

A deal is a deal, that's life. If you signed a contract you should respect it.

The contract Is too long and complicated for you to understand? Get a lawyer.

If you don't want to accept that, then just pay the full price for an unlocked phone.

The whole question is that, if you do that, you are paying your carrier less. If you want to avoid paying roaming fees, then you should have bought an unlocked phone at a higher price.

Roaming fees are one of the ways the company recovers the cost they pay up front when they subsidize the phone.

I really can't understand why people complain about this. Read the contract before signing it, if there's something you don't like there, get another plan or go to another carrier.

There's corpus delicti, the fact is that he did commit suicide while being harassed by Ortiz. She had the motive, the means, and the opportunity,

If she were anyone else but a federal prosecutor, she would be in custody right now, she would have been indicted, with a mugshot and fingerprints filed at the county jail.

It's not her job to scare someone to death.

Her job is to promote justice, not to cater to the media industry by being their scarecrow.
