Hard to argue with results, and most military approaches that survived did because the people using them did.
More to the point, uneven terrain is an obstacle, and digging ditches to build a berm is a logistically cheap and technologically uncomplicated way to produce it.
Unlike Tom, it might actually hit.
The scientists deny any testing.
That's active voice tho
Shouldn't that be exothermic oxidation?
That's the usual case with arms races: Unless you are yourself a major power, odds are you'll never be able to fully stand up to one (at least not on your own, but let's not stretch the metaphor too far). Often, the best you can do is to deterr other, minor powers and hope major ones never have a serious intent to bring you down.
In this specific case, the number of potential minor "attackers" and the hurdle for "attack" mKe it attractive to try to overwhelm the amateurs at least. You'll never get the pros, you just hope they don't bother you too much.
Still illegal. Not immoral, but a lot of our laws aren't built on morality.
I mean, Rome wasn't all Caucasian. The bulk of their earlier acquisitions were around the Mediterranean, including modern-day Italy (duh), Greece, parts of North Africa, western Turkey, southern France and Spain, most of which wouldn't really be the type of white Caucasian we'd imagine today.
Still, sourcing local actors will have been a lot easier and cheaper.
Bish, if you're talking about Constantinus Augustus, your Republic has been dead for about three and a half centuries.
That was my point, actually, expanding on the previous point of the policy being designed to kill small businesses. The big corps can do that, pretending to be ever so regretful about the firings, while small ones face insolvency.
Everything about this seems almost designed to murder small businesses.
Those with enough capital backing, resources and funds can take the hit, maybe cut some expenses, shedding crocodile tears about how terrible the economic impact of this trade war has affected them while dispassionately watching scores of no-longer-employees pack their things and try to figure out how to tell their kids that the promised trip next month they'd been looking forward to all year is cancelled.
Edit: This might have been ambiguous. I was trying to highlight how big corporations can survive by doing what big business does to protect the bottom line. Small businesses, obviously, can't do that.
The point is that the company being sued has to pay those millions in the first place. The law firm does pay itself rather well for that work, but I'd consider class actions to be one of the more defensible legal actions.
They didn't fully hand it to Linux yet. We still have to earn that. Ideological appeal / privacy concern alone isn't enough for many people if the jump seems too scary, particularly if it feels like a one-directional leap of faith. What if they don't like it on the other side? Better the devil you know...
We need to build bridges, in both directions: help and encourage people to switch to Linux, but also promise them help to get back, basically an "out" if they don't like it. I see plenty of guides for migrating to Linux, but how about getting back to Windows?
It's okay not to like Linux, it's okay to be scared or apprehensive, and it's okay to get cold feet and return to the familiar. Maybe some time in the future they'll try again.
