Politely though, that is a rather basic squaring error. You can't just square the difference - it has to be the difference in the final products [i.e. 10%^2 vs (10+13)%^2]. If we want to make a strong case that this is monopoly behaviour, no matter the nitty-gritty, we need to get our maths right, especialyl if it's just likely to get drowned out by the maths of small brown envelopes...

So was slavery, but we have since made it illegal. Currently, abortion is legal and even if made illegal will always happen - the only difference being the amount of lives ruined or ended.
As someone who works in NHS IT it's much closer to 1 PC per 10 people than 1 per 100. Obviously you have a lot of manual, cleaning and catering staff who never go near a computer, and a lot of nursing staff who may share a few - but otherwise you will often have consulting rooms and surgeries with one or more PCs, often to allow for ad hoc consultations or hot desking.
Certainly in my own immediate (clinical) area, we have about 1 PC per two members of staff on average (although that isn't including ancillary support staff who aren't directly beholden to us and may work across multiple departments).
Are you really, really that 'naive'? Of course the police can act outside of their jurisdiction, and extra-legally - this has happened many times before in Britain!
Just because the police shut something down does not automatically make it illegal or even civilly incorrect, especialyl when there are no warrants or pre-judicial hearings.
And really, straw man of it being a tech support issue?
For all the money these illegal monopolies make, you'd think they could buy better shills.
No, it is part of the UK (and Great Britain, which still exists until September at least). However, it is ceremonially a separate COUNTY, not COUNTRY. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_london)
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Verifiable vote is not allowed
My, you're an innocent. What makes you think that the moment this became legal every corp in the world wouldn't be 'hinting' to its staff that 'voting for the black guy would lost jobs'?
And you obviously know nothing of places like italy (or New Jersey) where the Mafia would be very interested in making you show evidence of your ballot. I'm pretty sure many countries in Africa or Arabia would become very unhealthy for 'honest' voters too.
Honestly, for some people it's really "freedumb" of speech. But hey, your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries, you filthy english kniggit!
Re: Re: Re: Re: Voting is a societal act, not an individual one
Freedom of speech can be taken to ridiculous levels. Like it or not, there are restraints on speech, including safety laws, IP and voting protection laws, for instance.
No, they deserve it for the stupid. I'm pretty sure that Google blanking out Germany even for a day would have politicians hiding in their bunkers, especially if all the blocks led to links to an explanation why and links to those politicians.
That's actually the opposite of any 'progressive' I've known. They aren't the control freaks that the reactionary conservatives are. I know, go too far left and your into control-freaky Stalinism/Putinism, but all of that is really oligarchy gone mad.
True centrist progressives (real centre, not your right-wing flavour) want to help the most people and actually improve people's lives, but are not so wedded to ideology that they would rather let people starve, die of preventable sickness, or be left begging if it breaks some obscure St Ronnie Raygun diktat.
Why would anyone persecute Christians except for being dickwads? The exact same goes for Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, PETA, abortion-clinic bombers and Bundy-suckers.
If Christians want someone like Pat Robertson, Rick Frothy or Fred Phelps to represent them, then you'll get all the 'persecution' you want (assuming you spell persecution as c-r-i-t-i-c-i-s-m). If you'd rather go the Mother Theresa/Pope Francis route, you will get less persecution than you do to the Muslims.
