US government fines Intel's Wind River over crypto exports

Re: I cant believe it.

My thought was that Israel and South Korea were on the list. If the US doesn't allow encryption products to be exported there, they will certainly create encryption products superior to what the US offers, making the folks at NSA have to work a lot harder.

'I went from a two-hour commute to a 10-min scooter ride by the sea'

I spent a week in Bermuda. Unfortunately, all but one day was spent in the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital; A sub mandibular protozoic infection 'Mortis Strangularium'. Still, my Dad and Brother had a mostly good time while caring for me. People are incredibly nice. The hospital is top notch, except for the billing. Apparently when you mail them a check from the USA, it has to go to the Bank of England to clear before being sent to Bermuda. The pizza is outstanding, and it can come with Bermuda Onions.

Red Bull does NOT give you wings, $13.5m lawsuit says so

Upon first encountering their ad promo 'gives you wings', I naturally assumed it was a metaphor or idiom suggesting you would feel soaring and full of energy. I did not expect wings, partly because the claim is so ridiculous that no one over the age of 2 or 3 would believe it.

Far greater need for 'truth in advertising', is for all the burger and fast food ads to include the disclaimer:

No, your food will never look like the picture
