A good job of controlling something they incited? They didn't need to use violence on non-violent protestors.

At this point they're lawless thugs with guns.

> "caused muslims to hate us"

Well, that's a few simultaneous fallacies.

But, yes, your policies led to the 9/11 attackers deciding to attack you. Is this not blisteringly obvious?

> and that therefor we should change them???????????

Oh gosh no, change? Not mid-stream.

Even in Canadian protests the police have been caught sneaking in trouble-makers with rocks and black ski-masks. If they didn't create the panic they wouldn't get paid for solving it.

Considering that the Turkish government is trying to make the protestors look bad so they have justification for going overboard in their earlier treatment of them, it's more likely that plain-clothes police officers looted those stores and overturned the cars.

When something violent and destructive happens, look at who did the last such thing.

I helped a client write their own HN hiring letter.

They'd originally had corp-speak in there like "5y PHP Developer". "Must have BS in ..." and we rewrote their requirements to things developers would have to know how to use (PHP OO, SQL with X, Able to do Y in Z, etc) and a description of the challenges you'd have.

Despite having chopped out the arbitrary restrictions, we made the posting much tougher. Which is good, it was for essentially engineer #1 and they needed someone who'd let the founder be able to delegate.

Yeah, many of the posts here are much more exacting than "regular" job boards. They're written by the people doing the work rather than via an HR filter.

Especially with mobile, where the government parcels out the ability to play (spectrum) to the companies that cooperate with it.

At least in areas without natural monopolies you can shop around.

It's too bad they can choose to stop once they've started. Like the patent trolls new-egg is fighting.

New-egg should essentially be able to take the trolls to court and part them out for sale, down to their CEO's organs, for trying this in the first place.

> denying you access to the firmware was never their intent.

Unlikely. With a new person or company it's sporting to give them the benefit of the doubt. With Microsoft if you're still ignoring everything illegal and anti-competitive they do you're on the payroll.

Microsoft specifically modified its products to sabotage a competitor, and lied about it. Microsoft faked evidence to use in Federal court and Bill presented that evidence though it was clearly wrong to anyone who'd used windows.

Why on Earth would anyone give them the benefit of the doubt?

The BSA, which they support, wouldn't give you the benefit of the doubt.

DMCA takedown. Expulsion. Streissand effect. Hilarity.

They couldn't keep it online, but couldn't be seriously censured for trying, and they wouldn't be alone.
