Usually after some time I've done enough apt-get upgrades that the install media is severely out of date along with cleaning the cache due to shortage of disk space.
Nope, because usually when you add a new drive you reinstall Linux. It's free.
Only the software is free, getting the ISO often has a cost, especially if for what ever reason you're bandwidth challenged and stuck on dial-up.
Anyone who understands enough to transfer the whole filesystem image from one disk to another disk is going to update/etc/fstab manually.
If they're also maintaining a DOSish dual boot setup then they're careful to maintain the disk/partition order. Also for quite a while, perhaps still,/etc/fstab accepted using/dev/hd?? and then/dev/sd?? fine even though the kernel was looking for a uuid.
On the other hand, when you update to a new hard drive the system breaks as the UUIDs have changed even though / is still on/dev/sda3 or wherever. Personally, while Linux was fun to learn, I've gotten tired of relearning it regularly.
Closed loop steam generators is old and common technology, boil water, drive turbine, condense steam into water, repeat. The trick is the condensing phase, simplest is to use flowing water but it can be done with evaporation coolers which is how it is done in many nuclear plants or it could be done like it is in a vehicle, one big bad ass radiator and perhaps a fan. Done right it would use next to no water besides the initial fill but will take a lot of land area for the radiator.
Sounds like the courts eventually decided it was copyright infringement, at least according to a post up the page and this, https://www.kirkusreviews.com/... though it took quite a while and really the battle was waged in the court of public opinion and the judgement from the court of public opinion forced Ace to not do any more editions, selling what they had, and give some royalties to Tolkien.
Actually the first theories linking the MMR vaccine and autism were that the combination of 3 live viruses over whelmed some immune systems and caused changes in the guts flora which led to autism, the simple idea was that the MMR vaccine should be split into separate vaccines and staggered so as not to overwhelm some immune systems. Then the nutcases moved in with their mercury bullshit (most of us have mercury fillings right in our mouth)
This is Canada, we have a right wing pro-oil government who fires scientists who are climate scientists unless they come up with research showing climate change is non-existent. A lot of scientists are now out of work. Whole libraries of science have been burned and still the scientists stick to their research. Our government has bet the farm on oil exports at high prices, claim they're finally going to re-balance the budget after blowing the surplus 8 years back and running a deficit for the last 8 years (those evil leftists want to pay down the debt) and the best economic plan they can come up with is pretending balancing the budget before every election (oil revenues are down for some reason).

Horizontal gene transfer is the primary reason for bacterial antibiotic resistance
So it looks like it is a good comparison, the Luddites were right about industrialization making things worse for them, their children and their grandchildren and now the same can be said about horizontal gene transfer. Of course the thing with GMO is that it is neutral and can be used for good reasons such as making food more nutritious or bad reasons such as making food keep better even if it means the food is less nutritious or reasons that end up bad like encouraging more pesticide resistance through evolution by horizontal gene transfer.
Seems that combinations of socialism and capitalism has delivered the most goods and best lives. Think of the roads, including highways, the roads themselves are socialist and the trucking industry is capitalist.
You can have things like credit unions and co-ops which are socialist and don't involve the government. At that the end game of some forms of socialism is to not have a government.
Actually what has worked the best is to take the best parts of different systems and combine them. Capitalism with some government oversight and some socialism. Of course the trick is to balance the systems but in the best places to live the system has been a mixture.
No, the copyright law that most of the countries based on common law follow was pushed by the publishers who wanted infinite copyright "for the authors" while even then their business model was paying a tip-pence to the authors and then collecting rent from others creations. It was successfully argued that copyright should be limited for the advancement of learning. America followed suite changing learning to advancing the sciences and arts. Lock everything up and no-one can create anymore.
Actually the US just basically copied the Statute of Anne which limited copyright to 14+14 years for the advancement of learning. Even then the publishers were pushing for infinite copyright "for the authours" even though even then their business model was to pay the authour a small amount for all rights. Democracy was also failing then with the elected House of Commons quite willing to grant the infinite copyright and the unelected House of Lords putting their foot down and saying works need to enter the public domain after a reasonable time for others to benefit.
A story does not come from a person, it comes from a long line of people, the whole standing on the shoulders of others thing. Think of how many stories have been based on Shakespeare, and how no-one has to pay his heirs because of lack of copyright. Most of what made Disney a success were also public domain stories. I did read a book once where a child was totally isolated from birth with a synthesizer so he could write original music, I guess the same could apply but I doubt without any literary background much of a story could be written.
It must vary by jurisdiction. Here you need a special license to drive a taxi etc (with passengers) including a bunch of co-workers in the company van. The license isn't too hard too get, basically the same as a regular license but more stricter on how many errors you can have. Perhaps a pre-trip inspection also, I forget. For an actual bus it is a different license again and even harder testing. It's usually advised to get the taxi license in case you ever do find a job that includes driving co-workers as then you can be the driver with more pay (probably the more pay has gone away at a lot of places though).
Quitting normally means you absolutely don't get unemployment, so there is no motivation for the lazy to quit instead of taking their chances on getting fired.
It's lazy to not want to be abused? I've had fucking abusive jobs before and I quit because it wasn't worth $3.50 an hour to get abused. Luckily back then there were enough jobs that I could be picky but this idea that people should put up with abuse or they're lazy is bullshit.
No citation, just something that crossed my mind along with how the political ads seem targeted. Here (Canada) the political ads seem to be totally targeted at people who have no memory and no understanding of basic economics as well as a really simplified view point on various other topics. They've also changed the rules to make it very hard for young people to even vote
The question is who is not voting. If it is only the stupid or non-informed not voting and all the actual voters are very informed, well great. Unluckily it seems that it is mostly the uninformed Wal-mart types that are voting with the informed people having given up as obviously it doesn't matter if you vote, red team or blue team, we're fucked. This is actually one of the ways to push authoritarianism while pretending to be free, discourage informed people from voting. See sig

Thanks for the link, I was looking for similar recently but my Google-fu failed. Too bad that commercialization is 5-20 years in the future.
