What are these "benefits", and who are these countries?
If it's just robots fighting robots so humans don't die, just do it in virtual cyberspace instead of building and destroying expensive hardware. Of course, either requires that everyone play by a common set of rules, and there are none in war.
Either you're being malicious in the comment or dense. The goal is my robots vs your troops.

Solution is that India will ban WhatApp, and adopt something similar to WeChat..
Comment WeChat (Score 2) 229
This is going to lead to the Indian government banning WhatApps, etc and prompting a solution it can control. Such as Tencent's WeChat which is being promoted in India. This is super good for me, I own shares of Tencent.

In this case you're logic sucks. Lets take apart the statements an assume both are true
1. more than 90 percent of GoFundMe campaigns never meet their goal.
2. For every crowdfunding success story, there are hundreds of failures.
for
1. the statement requires the percentage of campaigns that doesn't meet their goals to be > 90%
2. assume hundreds => 200, then percentage of compaign that doesn't meet their goal to be >= 99.5%
So both can be valid.. just you're logic sucks

Interesting... if the contract was signed to by Robert Jordan Inc. And then Robert Jordan, Inc. became Bandersnatch Group. Since she's the CEO of the Bandersnatch Group and she spoke in that capacity, she's kind out of luck.

Sorry, I made a mistake. What if the contract was between Red Eagle and Bandersnatch Group?

The contact was probably between Universal Studios and Bandersnatch Group and it included a non-disparagement agreement. From the article here (http://www.tor.com/blogs/2015/02/wheel-of-time-pilot-harriet-statement) it looks like she was speaking in her capacity as the CEO of Bandersnatch Group.

I'm confused here, so according to Slashdot:
downloading music from say piratebay without approval of copy right holder is not theft
BUT
getting someone's browser history is theft?
