And if Sony would continue to manufacture PS2 I would still buy one, if only to replace my broken one and play the substantial number of PS2 and PS1 games I have in the attic. It was a good system with a great game library.
Yes, when I see garbage I mod it down. Posts about Trump, jokes about luddite appers, and inflammatory flames are going to get negative mods. You can expect down mods for this like you can expect that rain is wet.
Feel free to post off topic about fake censorship. Also expect down modding of such off topic posts. Have a nice day.

Are you sure they were serious? Do you have any examples? Just because one thick headed nitwit on-line debated some stupid position doesn't really follow that/. is filled with such people.
FireWire/IEEE1394 was better than USB for many technical reasons, especially 800 and S1600. And I believe that dominance lasted for about 10 years. But technical reasons alone don't guarantee adoption. And every year 1394 stagnates we'll see USB moving beyond it.
The versatility of USB Type-C to carry USB 3, active power (USB-PD), DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3 and now HDMI is a huge advantage. But USB-C far from simple and in some ways it was designed for chip companies to sell more chips, and that should not be surprising given the USB-IF's membership list.
You can use the USB connector freely. You can't put the trademark logo on a device that hasn't paid for the logo license and passed USB-IF compliance testing. It's a nice loophole for hobbyists that want something totally free and off-the-shelf.
If you're manufacturing devices, it's a single fee without a per device charge. This is different from something like FireWire which was open spec, but the trademarked names and logos cost a $1 per device. (or $1 per port?). FireWire is an open standard (IEEE 1394-1995) but an official copy of the standard is $335.00 for IEEE members (membership is $35/year).
Really proprietary stuff means you can't even buy the components to build a connector or cable without an agreement from the manufacturer or custom manufacturer.
But perhaps you have a different definition of proprietary than the rest of us have. If so, please explain it.
In rural areas where power distribution is more complex and transmission losses are higher, it doesn't always make sense to use electric vehicles. In an urban center where millions of people share the same air in close proximity, it helps to have a very clean burning gasoline engine, it helps more to run electric vehicles.
50 years from now, I can imagine regularly seeing vehicles still burning hydrocarbons in a piston engine. Such as off-road vehicles, farm equipment, etc. But I seriously doubt we'll see a lot of that in a big city. If the price ever comes down on electric motorcycles I think we'll barely recognize places like Hanoi.
But does anyone who uses emojis consult an emoji-dictionary before they use one? So what is their intent? What would a reader infer from the emoji in context?
Defamation cases are already nebulous, I think the whole emoji thing is an excuse for what was already a typical problem before emojis existed.
So my ideas are not unique? No matter! If one isn't creative in the User Experience industry they can always form a religion around their chosen design philosophy.
your first mistake is quoting the post instead of RTFA.

I recommend you make certain you've got the facts right before trying to be a smart ass.
Sounds great. assuming there are no stairs in my company's building. Certainly we'll work out all these kinks one day. But I can't but a general solution today. I probably can't get one in the next 3-5 years even.
I know in California the plate goes with car, so if you sell your car and buy a new one, you will have a new plate number that is not in the database. I don't know if that works for other states, but probably most of them are like this. So if you can afford it, buy a new car every year. If you buy a used car you at least reset the tracking done on you buy perhaps inherit some stale data of the previous owner. Which might be good if you find the idea of SWAT and ICE busting into your home to be thrilling.
Another thought is rent a car or only use ride sharing apps. Also bicycles aren't plated in the US, at least not with ids that can be easily spotted by these camera systems. Electric-assist bicycle today can go 30mph+ without pedalling if you illegally unlock their simple limiters.
Most complete solution would be not to elect fuckwits who think spying on every American citizen is acceptable. Our legislature controls the purse strings of these departments, as well as the general rules that regulate businesses collecting and selling this information. They have the power to fix this, but choose a pay off instead. I guess because businesses are people too, and every dollar you contribute is worth a vote.
Apple has always looked down on geeks and nerds, at least their marketing department. You can get a sense of this toxic Apple culture from Tim Cook himself.
The whole anti-nerd thing reeks of anti-intellectualism. We should probably be embracing people that can operate the machines that our modern civilization depends on.
What's sad for Apple is they often want to embrace artists, but artists are geeks in their own way. Maybe geeks about paint and canvas instead of geeks about compilers and debuggers, but I really don't see a appreciable difference between people with healthy obsessions.
I remember when people used to tell me that PDAs and Palm Pilots and electronic organizers wouldn't catch on. And I probably looked stupid carrying one around back in the day. But smart phones aren't really all that different from PDAs in terms of use. Maybe I had to HotSync once a day instead of being connected to "the cloud".
Adoption of technology that is convenient is inevitable. I totally understand if you think self driving cars are some kind of fad. But if you think that people aren't willing to give up control or sacrifice safety in favor of convenience, then you haven't been paying attention for the entire 20th and 21st centuries.
MS's software quality is not really relevant. For starters people put that crap operating system in ATMs now. Nobody but you fucking cares anymore. Convenience over safety, reliability, security, etc. If we had 10 self driving cars a week driving into brick walls it would be data that is lost in the noise of the 750 traffic fatalities a week we have with human drivers today in the US. And I don't think most consumers are going to care enough not to move forward with buying one of these vehicles. They might care enough to write their congressperson and demand better regulation, but we know that the legislature is only going to go through the motions long enough to get their constituency of their back.
Seriously, we can track the data that Microsoft collects, using Microsoft's own software, and maybe there are some things we don't get to track? Who knows!
I for one, won't be giving up my car with physical connections between both brake pedal and master cylinder, steering wheel and rack and gas pedal and throttle body.
Then 10-15 years from now you might not be able to drive in certain city centers. I predict some cities, perhaps London, will require autonomous cars on certain days to reduce traffic congestion downtown. These corporations can manipulate city governments quite easily with incentive programs or just outright bribes.
I'm amazed at the number of/.ers that are buying into vapor being an inevitable success.
Oh it's inevitable. I think a lot of people are going to make a ton of money. And a lot of consumers are going to be buying expensive autonomous cars to replace their old fashioned one. Even if the reality is that the autonomous cars don't live up to their promises. We'll see government agencies looking the other way in traffic fatalities from this new technology, especially from the driver assist (level 1) to high automation (level 4?) because the human driver will be the one taking responsibility even in cases where the software is faulty. This is because once a standards organization rubber stamps the autopilot software after passing a few irrelevant tests, the company is nearly off the hook on liability. For full automation (level 5), we'll see government organizations stepping in to protect car manufactures on the excuse that important new technology needs help to mature.
And where do the machines come from to make these wafers?
Given Intel's research budget and patent portfolio and number of US locations I'm inclined to suspect that much of the main components of their new wafer fabs are designed in the US. If you have information contrary to this, I would be interested in hearing it.

"good reputation" is a FEELING
I had hoped a good reputation is from something objective, like consistent behavior with consistent outcomes.
It's like you can't even hear yourself.

Who is going to unload your drone or truck and carry things 20 feet to the freight elevator?

You put the original plate back on it and keep your vanity plate, since you paid extra for it.
