From SOFTWARE ENGINEERS DON’T DESERVE ANTITRUST WINDFALL: I understand in a free market, employers have the right to hire and fire as they please. And I also understand that they would want to collude and try to avoid market rates raising above what's comfortable for them. I agree that the checks plaintiffs will receive is not earned. But, if you think this is ethically OK, isn't it at all dishonest towards the employees? (I am uncertain, and genuinely curious. But...) I don't agree with this. Plaintiffs are acting for their self interests. In a health-care society where private practice is strictly prohibited, are you supposed to refuse treatment and die?

Those interested in automatic translators will probably find this article useful: http://www.independe...ks-2353594.html It is about how Google Translate works, and why it usually outperforms other automatic translators. To verify this claim, I translated a piece from English to Russian. The result was not perfect but it was very good. Here is what to do: 1) Go to http://translategoogle.com 2) Specify languages, for example, English --> Russian 3) Paste (or type) the text to be translated. 4) Click on the “translate” button The translated text will appear at once. You can just read it or cut-and-paste it into another document. Ludwik Kowalski (see Wikipedia) .
