Poster didn't say it was a translation, just that it was intended as such.
And even if it were a translation, it may have just been a bad one. I mean, who disputes that there are both good and bad translations?
LCDs started with matte finishes because they simply used matte plastics for the surface of the display, not because they actually put effort into it.
Success by default is still success.
You're delusional and should go read your network agreement policy again.
Network agreement policies aren't law. And even their terms are often enforced by a legal system, you can't sign away some rights (legally-speaking) no matter how hard you try, and no matter how awesome you believe your contracting powers to be. Clauses in otherwise legally-binding contracts are invalidated all the time for this reason.

"Acupuncturists and Chiropractors don't count as "private clinics". If I wanted to see frauds and charlatans, I'd go to a carnival.
Do MRIs count? You could drop a few grand and book yourself one in Alberta for Monday. It's no private operating room, and that province is a bit like a carnival, but they'd certainly approve of your kind of hyperbolic rhetoric there.
"Having said this, the Conservatives just promised a couple of days ago to start to dismantle the surveillance state that the closet socialists in Labour have built during the last 12 years."
Do you mean their membership in Socialist International and the Party of European Socialists was supposed to be kept a secret?!?
Somebody's really got some explaining to do...
From his testimony: "At best, this mixing of private and political incentives creates marketplace confusion; at worst, it leads to a serious misallocation of capital and an increasing risk for American taxpayers."
Isn't this pretty much what every classical liberal, libertarian, or generally right-leaning economist has been saying since the advent of their respective positions? This guy was hardly on to something novel.
