Which is why I can't stress enough 1) NEVER Apologize - it won't save you, it will only enable them to victimize you more 2) Adopt a scorched earth policy when possible. Make it clear to all involved you will do you damnedest to make sure they all fail. Expecting you to go quietly into the sunset is not in the carts. You'll sue, you claim exclusive rights any property involved you have and drag everyone else thru the mud as well. None of that will succeed in saving you, it will likely make it hurt worse but at least you may prevent them from doing it someone else.
Yes! I am surprised how easily sane people are caving to all this madness. Especially in open source projects where nobody should care about some damn hype PR pressure. If you believe something is not right, you have to fight for it. Otherwise the woke terrorists win.

"economies in Eastern Europe have led to severe labor shortages"
Aren't these the same countries that are refusing to accept refugees? I'm missing the logic here. Or maybe they feel that keeping a 'pure' ethnic environment is more important than a good economy.
Yes, you are missing the logic here.
Some questions of interest:
- How many refugees actually applied or have been assigned by quotas to Eastern Europe. Is this number even economically relevant?
- How many of those would move to Germany as soon as possible (there is free movement across EU)
- How many of them are willing and capable of working in European standard
- What are the long term consequences of accepting people to do cheap work, as opposed to people who want to share your culture?

Exactly! It's funny how people try to come up with "solutions" like hunting the scalpers, requiring names etc. If the organizers would just let the market take care of this, they would have bigger profit and happier customers.

Wow, that's not at all true, not even a little bit. First off, odds are that Google is not in your legal jurisdiction -- especially in the US, you're looking at one state and not another. Second, a web-site privary agreement has no actual legal merit -- it's not a legal document. Third, if money hasn't transferred hand, (i.e. you haven't paid google for the thing being used) then no contract covers anything, even an actual legal contract has to have money changing hands in association for 90% of the contract to be enforcable.
You know far more about legal stuff than me (=nothing) and you're right. Legal crap in the US would be a reason for me to avoid doing my own business there Oh, and read their many many many privacy policies. Keep reading them until you see the line that reads something like "this policy can be retro-actively changed without notice". Continue reading to see that they already read your client's secrets in the e-mails. They already read them, they already aggregate them, they already analyze them, they already sell them, they already profit from them. Why do you think their services are free?
They must process the messages to give you "relevant" ads and it's quite probable that they use the data for other stuff, like spam filter training,Comment Re:Competition (Score 1) 896
I'm trying to do the same thing. I'm learning my way around Fedora Core running on VMWare right now. It beats the heck out of Windows. If I had project management software, video editing, and a good MP3 player (haven't looked for the last two yet), I could swap over right now. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
