Imaginary property does not deserve this level of protection. I dont care what kind of infringement is going on, or how much money is lost. 10 years for 'stealing' essentially THOUGHTS is insane. The point of Copyright is to encourage works and it think its quite clear by now that works do not need this kind of protection, humans will produce them no matter what. Throwing people in jail over it is absolutely repugnant. I dont think we can truly call it an Information Age until we seriously hamstring copyright, not make it stronger.
Optical is slow, requires physical burning, its all around shit compared to where we are with solid state. A single optical burner is the size of two intel NUCs. The only true strength optical has left is that its read-only so it cant be corrupted/infected other than that, its as dead as 8 tracks. Btw, all VOIP installs by an ISP require having a UPS so your 'POTS is da best' argument is a bit moot. I agree on some of your points, but hating on optical has very valid reasons.
I would argue that all documents should be prepared for public consumption upon creation, unless deemed to be kept secret. The cost should be baked into the budgets, not forcing a requester to pay for something that should readily available for free as part of the legal processing of government documents.
You are using outliers to claim all of humanity is bound by those rules. There are plenty or rich people that just live and dont worry about increasing their wealth. Trump is a greedy fuck, nothing more. Dont use greedy fucks as an example for all of us.
I didnt buy the keyboard, its too expensive and i dont type a lot, you dont need it. Its nice that its integrated, but not $130 of nice. The Pen and touch is fine for me. I just take a Logitech K400 when i need to do a lot of typing.
I have a Surface 3 (not pro) built on intel 14nm. No fan, no overheats.The Surface 3 Pro overheats because it was designed for 14nm but Intel was late with the tech and Microsoft had to use 22nm parts.
"Virtually no AAA titles run on Linux, so you neeed Steam and Windows to play them."
There are enough AAA titles to run on Steam Machine now to consider its library comparable to a 'launch window console'. It doesnt have to run everything windows does, just like PS4 doesnt play everything on PC. Steam Machine is the 4th platform, with a limited library, just like the major consoles.
That was my thought too. Its like when the police start pontificating, its like 'Dont you work for us, arent we supposed to be telling you what the deal is?'
WRONG. I installed 10130 last night on two machines and after signing into Microsoft account and Onedrive asked me what to sync, with everything being off by default.
The problem is, following this logic they should have used Nvidia GPU parts as well. This showcases AMD's weaknesses more than anything else. Its confirmation of what everyone already knows, AMD cant make low heat parts.
I dont expect my government to operate on business principals, Supply and Demand do not apply. Every citizen should have the right to drive a taxi if they are qualified and pay a very small processing fee. NO more government propped monopolies of this nature.
IM fine with NOMINAL fees for tax regulation, but what we have right now NEEDS to be destroyed. $300,000 for a license to taxi people around is insanity. Taxi medallions should be unlimited and available to anyone that wants one and is qualified.
"Right, and those regulations were put in place through proper legal process"
This is no way means its right or moral, only that a group of people decided it. Taxi regulation is corrupt to the core, so saying it was enacted by legal due process is technically correct, its also a meaningless point.
No, taxi licensing and regulation need to be DRAMATICALLY changed before that. The entire system is corrupt and needs to be purged BEFORE any real progress is made.

The difference between an app and application is who controls the executable. You or MS?

Why use optical? MS has all the tools to make bootable USB win 10 installs. https://www.microsoft.com/en-u...

"Nice. Government can't complain as it does this all the time."
A government is not a business. The two are not analogs and your comparison is crap.
The replicator had hard limits, there were lots of things it couldnt make, latinum being one of them

Ah yes, Ayn Rand the person that uttered 'Consensus is reality'......

I will say that the build quality of the Surface line is very good. MS has learned to make decent hardware. Its pricey, but you get what you pay for.

I doubt it would have been as good as you think. HE wanted to change some major plot devices like the role of *Melange*.

There is a reason Sony dropped pressure sensitive buttons on the DualShock 4, no one used it.

Exactly. I want to see baseline 1 GB/s symmetrical for >$50/month or the war isnt over. There should be no tiers at all for home connections.
Under 'money = speech' doctrine, there is no difference.

I consider Uber to be engaged in civil disobedience.
