I kind of view KDE as the window manager that has all the options but it tends to look a little industrial. I'm waiting for a nicer window manager like Cinnamon to have all the options.
I've been using the KDE version of Mint because I found Cinnamon to waste a lot of screen space and be very choppy to use by comparison. Is it time to switch?
When someone goes above the current 'going rate' and still can't get someone. Then there is a skills shortage. When they actually try to use the power of the market to draw people in and there are no people, then there is a skills shortage.
So far I've only seen companies pay market rate or less than market rate. You can't claim there is a skills shortage without even trying to draw people in.
These are three people hired at market value who will prevent Uber from having to share a piece of the pie for thousands of others. Frankly I'm shocked they didn't hold out for 10x what they got.
If I purchase Windows 10 Pro for the system I have now, and then I decide to upgrade the system in a year can I use the same version of Windows 10 Pro on the new system?
I dont see your point. Most people are not self employed. Until our system dumps large corps or at least lets them fail, your situation is insignificant.
Well then Americans are mostly all screwed. Better make plans to move out by next generation, because the 1% boat has sailed. We'll be line China soon. Watch it, it's coming. Already Uber is reminding me of a modern spin on a Rickshaw service.
So you are saying it isn't right that they shut down Silk Road on the Darknet, where you could buy drugs, hits, hacks, you name it. They aren't performing the service, they are only providing the anonymous means to obtain said service. Oh it's a dark world you want us to march into.
Oh and one other thing. At the same time, you are also ignoring a LAW man. If you don't like it, our system allows you to fight the law and have it thrown out. There is something to be said for the decision of the people.
I'm not sure if you are young or not, but I certainly see a lot of ignorance of the right way to change things these days.
This will undermine the hard working people that the capitalist system is *supposed* to be *rewarding*.
I can't use a sevice that isn't there because you let the bottom drop out of the market. That is as simple as I can put it. Sorry if you don't understand it.
So you are saying that, just because there is a law being broken, it is not a 'real' crime. If the law does not benefit you personally it should not exist.
Of course we all know that people don't really know what is better for themselves. We make much better choices as a collection then independently. If left to our own devices we would just kill each other. So this is really a pretend conversation, because you are operating with the assumption that we would have a society or a place to live at all without laws in place.
If you don't like the taxi laws, your choice in our free society is to go fight them.
I should add, I suppose I should be able to set up a website selling anything I want, illicit drugs perhaps. Screw the people if they don't know they shouldn't use them? What kind of society do you think we will end up living in.
So the guy on the street can supply me with pain medication for much cheaper than a pharmacy can. Does that mean you should be able to go to the guy on the street? I'm fascinated that you think regulations don't serve a purpose ever.
You will not get the freedom to choose, because the market can only support one or the other. You are basically saying you want a possibly unsafe driver so everyone else should also have an unsafe driver. That's pretty selfish. The very fact that there is regulation is proof that we can only have one or the other. I do not believe any Taxi company charges much more than the other, therefore I guess by your definition they are not overcharging. You are comparing apples to oranges if you are meaning 'the competition' to mean a company that operates with a complete lack of regulation. That is not competition, that is an illegal entry to the market place. I don't believe the entertainment industry should offer their products for free because there is illegal downloading, do you?
I'm also interested to know how you propose to stop Uber from charging as much as taxi service, or more, once Taxi's are forced out of any given locale.

I've never found a Linux file manager that didn't support SFTP/FTP/SMB
Air is almost certainly prior art, but you might want to have a go at patenting 'method of air delivery to lungs'.
I have bought devices in the past because they have had a physical keyboard, but I don't buy devices because their corners are rounded a certain way.

Now the servers are very advanced. Kids can go on and play contests with no mods at all.
CMU's fault if they are not commercially or economically viable.

Wow line of credit.. that would be the worse negotiation ever.

No, Bangladesh will do that.

And you wish to coerce me into using Uber type services instead of keeping Taxi's viable. Thank you sir.

Wait... who is the third party?
Then why have government at all?
Let people decide whether it is better for them to rob businesses and rape others or not.
