  Re: Re: Escalating

  Ok, I walked into that one. Let me rephrase that:
  
  If anyone could point me toward another country's people that sued it's government over the TPP agreement currently catching flak, then please do so.

  Escalating

  Maybe the Japanese people tried literally everything in their arsenal to view the TPP, then moved on to using the leaked document (which, according to USG, is not the final form so should be dismissed; pathetic attempt is pathetic) to raise awareness to several extreme problems within TPP and have now finally amassed enough legal firepower (or as much as they could anyways) at the eleventh hour to sue their own government into not signing the damn thing. Bonus points to the Japanese people for having been the first* people to actually sue their government over this "trade" agreement.
  
  *unless someone can point me to another country's people who sued first cause so far it's been politicians saying "Wait a minute here..."

  His complete turn around is more likely him being blackmailed than anything else. Nothing like the NSA collecting all of your data to know what you've been up to in order to put you in place.

  I'm seriously thinking that all the big companies of the world really are following the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.
  
  I wonder how Star Trek fans feel about that?

  "Opting for oppressive, restrictive legislation will do nothing but cause collateral damage -- if damaging everything but the intended target can truly be considered "collateral."
  
  That's called a miss.

  With broken glasses?

  How barbaric. You should settle this like gentlemen and have a duel at dawn with pistols if you're to resort to any physical violence.
  
  Though in seriousness, I thinks it's pretty stupid to get into a fight over which phone is better. (I am not a fanboy of cellphones and only really use them as originally intended: to call someone)

  The "we aren't really threatening you but we hope our point is made clear" threat

  Silicon Valley said no to what ever the USG wanted, so the USG is saddling up next to them and making them feel threatened with out doing a damn thing. Typical.

• On the post: Valve Tries Out Paid Mods Platform; It Fails Completely

  Day late and a dollar short Valve

  Patreon is already the perfect model for paying any modders any amount of money on a month by month basis. Giving money to modders immediately by way of PayPal is only a half step up and a full step sideways as an alternate choice.
