[quote who="moshi" reply="108" id="3354240"]no. the working conditions in the Chinese high tech industry are a multitude better than in the South Asian textile industries. the only thing worse is mining (which of course is part of making high tech as well).[/quote] Yea, all those suicides are just make believe.
The funny thing is everyone seems to be getting high and moral on "clothes". Yet the "blood" is on the very thing that gives them the capability of be so high and moral.. The conditions that exist in the garment factories also exist in all those high tech places that make the computers - or the parts - that allow everyone to scream with outrage. Yet no one seems to want to forgo their computers, smart phones or tablets.
Ok, 2 minor beefs. #1 - It apparently does not know about Palemoon. That is my primary browser. But it cleaned the others! #2 - Too well apparently. It does not like the logmein plugin. No biggee there. I just re-installed it. Other than that, Looks great! I am recommending to all my family.

[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="81" id="3350210"]You've completely avoided the points.[/quote] No, you have completely missed the points. You have it easy. You can sit in your splendor and pontificate about the injustices of the world. Most of these people are looking for a way to feed their family. So again, the choice is yours. Give them a choice. or deny them any choice.

[quote who="myfist0" reply="51" id="3349802"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 50It is only thanks to corporations and globalization that we have the luxury of discussing this topic on our personal computing devices via the Internet. hmmm strange, I seem to remember late 60s and early 70s people having TVs and telephones and they were made by people my parents could, at the time, afford to have a BBQ with. To say we would not have a computer now if not for cheap labour

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="30" id="3349792"] Nope... they'll veto. Check the sources in the OP.[/quote] Don't be too sure. The White House objection has nothing to do with the privacy section, but with the jurisdiction. Obama promised to veto any health care law that set up a penalty on people for not participating, yet he signed it anyway. Believing promises made by politicians is a fools dream. Not reality.

[quote who="jackswift85" reply="25" id="3349240"]I think if Skynet went active today, the line of reasoning would be, "These humans are no threat to my existence, they couldn't even legislate how to properly take a dump without arguing with each other endlessly."[/quote] My response was semi-sarcastic.
