Actually, that's far far smaller than I expected. That means that 80% are legit?

"That what is happening is a matter of individual greed and not some systemic mind control."

No. The fact that the local populace doesn't care at all and encourages it, means that it is a HUGELY systemic problem.

Amazon is the exception. Bezos is very smart in training investors to look at the value of their investment in other ways and that company profitability is NOT one of them.

In the majority of corporations the pressure is immense to be profitable, stay profitable and increase profitability. Very few CEOs/BODs have the backbone to resist that.

It'll happen very quickly. Soon your phone will be dockable and you will be able to use a full sized keyboard/mouse/monitor.

Restore? Since when did they ever have it?

No corporation pays 35%. There are far too many loop holes. The US has the highest rates ON THE BOOKS if you take ZERO deductions and write-offs.

That's assuming you CAN buy the book/speech.

Everyone that buys this is going to spray it in their mouths. This has nothing to do with skin absorption and everything to do with getting around the FDA.

No toilets on commuter buses either and people ride them 45minutes to 1+ hours everyday with no issues.

You're stuck in the "long trip" "it's like a train" framework.

It is neither.

Those things you speak of will be outlawed and you won't be allowed to use them.

Although true, Google is nibbling around the edges. There are a lot of edges. It's enough to put a crunch on M$.

No. The congress/president are so scared of having another terrorist attach on their watch that they are 100% sold on letting the NSA/FBI/CIA/NYPD do anything they want to do in the name of safety/security.

This stems from the fact that the average American demands that they be safe and anyone that "drops the ball" will bear their wrath next election cycle. The average American values an illusion of safety/security FAR HIGHER than their privacy.

...and the NSA has tapped into every strand of fiber in the world making this sales pitch meaningless. They already have access. They only request access to allow what they already know to be admissible in the courts.

How is "a)" relevant at all? A proper NDA is NOT A NONCOMPETE. It just says that you can't blab what you see during the hiring process.

You only have to code in .Net if you don't agree to put in an NSA back door.

The NSA pulls all data going in and out of Google without their permission. Being the man-in-the-middle, they intercept all communications even if encrypted.

By taking the cash, I am sure you are bound by secrecy enforced by jail time. I see these increased payments as hush money to keep researchers quiet while they feed them to the NSA for zero day exploits.

Why do people assume that Google has the only copy of what is on Google's servers. It is not hard for the NSA, since they are already admittedly the "man in the middle" to have copies of all data going in and out of any server they target.
