np, sorry I was too lazy to post any links but I think I gave enough info to find it on the internet.

What a disgusting post. "Pay your dues just like I did". Just because you chose to be exploited with the hope that you'll some day get compensated for it doesn't mean the model is …

Actually people in Europe do care and I would expect something to happen as a result. I don't expect MS to go out of business, but it wouldn't surprise me if they lost certain key …

The problem is that Hollande is very left wing, yet France already had one of the best income equality ratios in the western world. It might have been better if France got someone …
