"Judge Scheindlin's motion asking the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to withdraw its orders until she's been given a chance to defend herself against its allegations of impropriety and bias has been declined."
We know Judge Scheindlin's name. What are the names of the judges who removed her? They are clearly the ones lacking impartiality. Let's review their case histories!
Even if you like the idea that they are helping US industries compete, they are only doing that for certain large, well-connected, legacy industries. Yet, the price is being paid by everyone, perhaps even in greater proportion, dollar for dollar, since the larger companies evade their taxes. Therefore, this is a transfer of wealth from the smaller US companies to the larger.
"An example for illustration: as part of my work on Sophia, I created a scrollbar from scratch, which means I had to implement the click and drag behavior (along with buttons) that causes a scrollbar to do what the average user expects a scrollbar to do."
That says it all. Every time I see some organization has written its own scrollbar code I know to RUN AWAY FAST! Do you think Batelle got paid to write scrollbar code that already exists? And it is certain that the scrollbars suck compared to professional bars.
Of course, next up is the false flag hacker attack to justify this position, just like the anthrax justified the Patriot Act, or as I call it "Cheneycare".
In the past, police were given a few license plate numbers every day to look out for, and they visually scanned the plates they came across each day to try to find one of them. If that's legal, then doing the same thing "on a computer" shouldn't be a problem, and in fact I expect the police to automate menial tasks the same as every other business sector. See the recent discussion on TechDirt about bank tellers and ATMs.
Saving those plate reads in a database is a different story. That ain't right.
This article is about people from different viewpoints agreeing that the NSA is out of control, which is great. And guess what, the same thing happened here: people who usually disagree agreed. That should be a good thing but it was rejected. I hope what happened here today isn't copied by Senators Wyden and Udall just because they might not like other things Rand Paul has done.
All I am saying is please use the Report button responsibly.
Maybe it would be used better if Reporting weren't free. It's too abundant. What if it cost $1 to use each time, but only one Report was needed to block a comment?
Then maybe trolls wouldn't troll so hard because they'd be putting money in Mike's pockets! And good comments like this one would remain up because Reporting would now a scarce commodity.
There is nothing wrong with this post. I don't understand why people reported this. Can't our comments section be "bipartisan" too? It seems there are some people who report OOTB's comments no matter what he says, and that's just wrong.
