I mean I don't doubt that it happens, but the swimsuit rule probably cuts down on it. And to be fair, that pool is possibly the sexiest place in Berlin.

The EZ is the keyboard I have. I found that almost harder than getting used to the layout, was the extra pressure that's required, going from using the squishy keyboard that came free with my last desktop machine to something with mech

My point is not whether the rationale is valid or invalid: the point is, they're not going to do it. Is that wrong, in the ethical sense? Quite possibly. Do they care? No. Try googling the "Golden Rule" and you'll find

Why _would_ they block themselves? How would that be to their advantage?

They want a free market _for everyone else_. What's the point of being rich and well connected if you can't socialize your losses and keep your profits?
