If there where two machines. One gave you a free soda, the other cost you money for a soda, He would take the free only. As would I, and probably you.
Do you pay for a refill even though it's free?
It's stupid to pay for something when it is available fro free.
For this argument, I am talking about legally acquired goods, and equal goods. Years ago, I could get a free copy of DOS. Should I have sent MS a check?
"out how to do without looking at the patent" wrong.
The people not paying attention are people like you who have never read patent law, it's history, why it's in the constitution to begin with or the definition of obvious.
" But in these days " stop romanticizing the pasty. This is haw the vast majority of people have ALWAYS been. If anything, there is less complacency.
It is the same thing in principle. The damage was minimal because it was one person hacking ONE thing. Oh, they did break any laws in a time when the tech was too new to have any laws? I shocked, simply shocked.
BTW your statement implies that the laws are correct and should never be broken.
So, you mean people who defend their own religious beliefs in spite of evidence? no, those aren't scholars. Looking at a text critical based on current knowledge is a real scholar. Anything else is just crap.
And stop trolling, no one said anything about atheist. But since they are such a threat to your poor thinking skills, I suppose you can't help yourself.
A) The rest of the world changed to metric. They went to something different, not the US*
B) the US isn't proposing this, it's just some researchers writing a paper.
C) we are well aware of the rest of the world. HOWEVER du to a geographic location and size, knowledge of GMT for most peopel is really a waste. They would never have a need to use it.
So stop thinking like a racist idiot.
*Yes, we should go metric. You can thank Reagan and Neo Cons for killing that program.
Even if they don't change the calendar, please make xmas on the last Sunday of the month. It makes scheduling easier. Since it isn't that actually birthdate, and only a celebration, then changing the day should not matter. Sorry, I didn't mean to mix logic with a belief system.
Also, make Halloween the last Saturday of October.
Job description are critical in this day in age, more then ever.
Otherwise you get expected to do everything, and you shouldn't. IT's unfair to you and to the company. Implementation doesn't have to be draconian, but that's different.
I've seen to many SA be tasked with programming and too many programmers tasked with SA t think there doesn't need to be a job description.
"Computing technology has grown so vast that somebody telling me he can do anything and everything in the field should be seen with suspicion in my opinion,"
did you even think about that sentence? even for a moment? The more vast a field becomes, the LESS likely you can find someone to do everything competently, and you will NEVER find ANYONE how masters all of it.
Mastery being defines 'implementing anything at will' and by 'at will' mean no searching the internet or opening a book.
"What baffles me is that if you had free time it would have been dead simple to add an extension to your term of employment to do the work you did on company time in terms that were clear to all." no. Some companies will not allow that without extensible HR review. Plus, if he expands his position, then he is expanding it for all L3 SA at his company. Something that could get ugly.

You missed the point.

You have either never had a bad cup of coffee, or a good cup of coffee.
Good coffee is never bitter or oily, and the after taste should generally be nutty. Unless the bean is dried with the flower on, then fruity.
Not different shades of oil and bitter.
Irrelevant because the car already exists.
So it's really who would create the device
Yes, but at Starbucks they just give you more crappy coffee..or a token for more crappy coffee.
And by 'coffee' I mean a coffee desert.
So then, why do you go to restaurants?
Please. Thinking about a purchase is a good thing. It's not a dollar app..its ANOTHER dollar app.
I wish people put that much thought into buying a cup of coffee. Maybe we can curb run away personal debt.
Psst:
You aren't that important.
no SHIT! Did you think know one new that?
Next up, ads on TV are there to sell you things! shocking!
Progressive have been behind every great decade in the US.
You are a damn misogynist, racist, and a moron, but I repeat myself.
"out how to do without looking at the patent"
wrong.

Think about that for a minute.
"If the tower of Babel story equates to a Babylonian tower,"
it doesn't, but every at the peak of 'stupid mountain' thinks it is.
you mean it's ANOTHER thing that proves the bible is wrong.
And what a logical fallacy you use! holy smokes. If A is correct, then B is wrong, and since B is never wrong, clearly A is wrong.
In this context, by wrong I mean Not literal.
You might want to brush up on the Muslim and Jewish holy text version.
According the the Jews, that language was Hebrew, then god took it away at the tower and then delivered it back to Abraham via an angel
Correct, and far before the tower of Babel. However the tower of babel story is older then Babylon... or Babylon 5:)

"Anything's possible."
no, no it's not. Many thing are impossible.
Note what doesn't work and move on.
You couldn't be more wrong.
A)Socialism/Communism
Not comparable, not the same thing, and don't belong link together like that.
B) "In practice it would require that the society in question be bereft of ..."
No, it wouldn't.
You need to learn the difference between social policy and economic policy. You can have a free market and socialism.
You need to read up some more so you get past "Mount stupid":

You think too small.
Just adjust the earths orbit so it's a perfect 12 month year.
absolutely batshit crazy to advocate New York City's work day starting at 2pm
no you don't. In fact, people would get used to it pretty quickly.
Also, you should probably read what they wrote. Frankly, you are embarrassing yourself.
Even if they don't change the calendar, please make xmas on the last Sunday of the month. It makes scheduling easier. Since it isn't that actually birthdate, and only a celebration, then changing the day should not matter. Sorry, I didn't mean to mix logic with a belief system.
Also, make Halloween the last Saturday of October.
Both cases would make everyone's life easier.
You mean besides the one they already use?
"The true reward of writing code is seeing it executed"
hmm..no. The true reward is cold hard cash.
Beside, most SA code I have seen during my career should be execute. Preferable without a blindfold.
