| techrights[sec] | removing the debate from the realm of facts and ethics over to that of | Mar 05 05:54 |
| techrights[sec] | opinions and preferences. Objectively, m$ is a bad choice in several meanings | Mar 05 05:54 |

| techrights[sec] | m$ does act as a cult but Andy does not let that distract him from ethical | Mar 05 05:54 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | didn't take it at the end | Mar 05 11:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as i don't know the brand | Mar 05 11:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and it might turns out to last 2 months, not 2 years | Mar 05 11:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | or 2 weeks | Mar 05 11:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no return policy | Mar 05 11:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | on another topic, the new workflow is very pleasing and it's getting simpler for me to grasp mentally | Mar 05 11:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | after 20 years of more or less the same thing every day | Mar 05 11:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | when returning home we typically put in supermarkets' sites the items we found to assess the savings | Mar 05 11:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the high-protien products are best bang/buck or bang/wdight | Mar 05 11:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we must have "saved" about 150 pounds on just the protiein bars | Mar 05 11:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | most of them fit inmy backpack | Mar 05 11:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but i took all there was in stock | Mar 05 11:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | some days there's none to be found, irrepsective of price | Mar 05 11:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and vendors come and go | Mar 05 11:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | or start sucking, depending on their supplier's | Mar 05 11:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so you need to recognise the faces of people, there are hundreds of stalls | Mar 05 11:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no persistent slot at times | Mar 05 11:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we now have a reserve of about 50kg in pasta, grain etc. | Mar 05 11:56 |
| techrights[sec] | Excellent! | Mar 05 11:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we stock up not on the cheap stuff, just heavily discounted premium products | Mar 05 12:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and in a decade we saw one mouse, only once, and he left on his own | Mar 05 12:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we very very seldon let food spoil. very rare. rianne has a mental overview of the inventory. | Mar 05 12:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and can be creative in mixing it. buckwheat and kabanos today (very east european) | Mar 05 12:00 |

| techrights[sec] | Yes, reddit only masquerades as a tech forum and is a severe source of | Mar 05 12:16 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | so it's a potentially huge scandal | Mar 05 12:32 |
| techrights[sec] | Wow. | Mar 05 12:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | my friend whom you saw in the photograph spoke in length about this | Mar 05 12:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 50% of his salay goes to pension | Mar 05 12:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | he had about 4-5 pensions already, one for each past employer | Mar 05 12:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | he's vested in standard life | Mar 05 12:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | to retire in 3.5 years (55) | Mar 05 12:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | he told me to accuse them of "theft" | Mar 05 12:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but that's just semantics | Mar 05 12:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | I said to their managers something to that effect twice already | Mar 05 12:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | my colleagues don't even get as far as the management | Mar 05 12:45 |
| techrights[sec] | I suspect that there might be a very specific term or phrase which will | Mar 05 12:47 |
| techrights[sec] | launch major action against them if it is raised, but a big question is | Mar 05 12:47 |
| techrights[sec] | what (legally speaking) that actual phrase is. In many cases you have to | Mar 05 12:47 |
| techrights[sec] | use the exact term, I expect, if it is like dealing with banks or airlines. | Mar 05 12:47 |
| techrights[sec] | Of by a bit in the phrasing and they won't lift a finger and they certainly | Mar 05 12:47 |
| techrights[sec] | won't ever volunter information. | Mar 05 12:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | yes, this was brought up in the car this paast weds | Mar 05 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and it's even worse when the person calling is a widow | Mar 05 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | or a child | Mar 05 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and there is even less certainty or hard proof to press with | Mar 05 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so he gave his partner a list of all the pension | Mar 05 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i kept all the paperwork | Mar 05 12:49 |

| techrights[sec] | It would be useful in such posts to remind about the role that monopoly rents | Mar 05 14:34 |
| techrights[sec] | play and that they are now way below the market threshold at which they | Mar 05 14:34 |
| techrights[sec] | are possible. In other words, the balloon is deflating. | Mar 05 14:34 |
| techrights[sec] | Rapidly | Mar 05 14:34 |

| techrights[sec] | How much longer before the nations cannot avoid addressing the EPO? | Mar 05 14:34 |
| techrights[sec] | It is complicated by Germany's conflict of interest in regards to income. | Mar 05 14:34 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | i think TR does show some positive news for us | Mar 05 14:35 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | to keep morale higher | Mar 05 14:35 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as for epo, what makes me hopeful is the dissent | Mar 05 14:35 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | maybe a breaking point soon | Mar 05 14:35 |
| techrights[sec] | It's often ignore and more often not even recognized. | Mar 05 14:36 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | epo staff are, in general, smart people | Mar 05 14:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | most are examiners | Mar 05 14:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | which makes them easy to work 'for | Mar 05 14:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | or 'with' | Mar 05 14:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i'm hopeful that all this union-busting ("Bringing Teams Together") | Mar 05 14:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | will make the whole house of cards collapse | Mar 05 14:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | stakeholders are upset | Mar 05 14:39 |

| techrights[sec] | The staff are mostly good as far as I can tell but not the management | Mar 05 14:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no, a lot of the important staff left years ago | Mar 05 14:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and isn't coming back | Mar 05 14:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | now there are many type Zs | Mar 05 14:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and they are not to blame | Mar 05 14:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they just want to make a living | Mar 05 14:41 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | hilly-billy attracting attention to himself again | Mar 05 14:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | there is a price to be paid | Mar 05 14:42 |
| techrights[sec] | Ah | Mar 05 14:45 |
| techrights[sec] | Then maybe the whole thing needs a starting over, fresh from the beginning. | Mar 05 14:45 |
| techrights[sec] | A strong reason to harp on about monopoly rents is to kill the myth that m$ | Mar 05 15:03 |
| techrights[sec] | makes its money from OEM "sales" of Windows or MSO. The sales drive the | Mar 05 15:03 |
| techrights[sec] | monopoly in the case of Windows and the monopoly in turn provides income | Mar 05 15:03 |
| techrights[sec] | (though not necessarily enough to make a profit) With MSO, it is the monopoly | Mar 05 15:03 |
| techrights[sec] | on the file formats which drive the monopoly rents | Mar 05 15:03 |
| techrights[sec] | (though again not necessarily enough to make a profit there either) | Mar 05 15:03 |
| techrights[sec] | Either way, there is a myth falsely glorifying the company and their products | Mar 05 15:03 |
| techrights[sec] | It goes along with the conflation of common with popular. M$ may be common | Mar 05 15:03 |
| techrights[sec] | but it is certainly not popular and is indeed the reason that most people | Mar 05 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | absolutely hate "computers" since they have no experience with real operating | Mar 05 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | systems or real software. | Mar 05 15:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | can i reuse and edit your words for a later post? | Mar 05 15:12 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | btw, zdnet is next after cnet | Mar 05 15:12 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | layoffs, management canned, spam | Mar 05 15:12 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | zdnet very quiet lately | Mar 05 15:12 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the clock is ticking on them | Mar 05 15:12 |
| techrights[sec] | Paraphrasing or expanding would be best if possible, | Mar 05 15:50 |
| techrights[sec] | I would not be surprised if ZDNet finally went away, they have been deinvesting | Mar 05 15:50 |
| techrights[sec] | for ages. For all practical purposes there is nothing left now. | Mar 05 15:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the genral approach is | Mar 05 15:57 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 1) collect info | Mar 05 15:57 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 2) improve arguments | Mar 05 15:57 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 3) change the public debate | Mar 05 15:57 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 4) media joins our side | Mar 05 15:57 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 5) opponents perish or change behaviour | Mar 05 15:57 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | for EPO we're trying (4) | Mar 05 15:57 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | some media DID cover the latest EPO scandals | Mar 05 15:58 |
