Whilst it does have a humorous slant on the news, buried in Private Eye are often serious reports of corruption, nepotism, government mismanagement. etc.
Private Eye is a serious journal which dresses up its allegations in humor. The Onion, so far as I'm aware, just goes for the laughs.
Why not argue about 8K streaming? 16K streaming? There will always be a higher resolution and there will always be people that will spend a ton of money to get it aso that they can brag about having more than you.
720p is a very fine resolution for pretty much everything.....
Yes, you're correct. But legislation today should address tomorrows needs. not yesterdays.
...a country reputed to be in the Internet Stone Age produces some of the worlds most successful virus manufacturers?
I'm having great difficulty swallowing the story that North Korea was responsible. Normally I accept the mainstream view, but in this case if someone put up a credible Conspiracy Theory I'd be quite likely to go for it.
...as some have indicated, he should have been successful before the internet took off. What probably happened is, that like many artists he spent most of his money as fast as it came in and didn't invest any for a pension. There have been many argument for a reduction in the duration of copyright and maybe reducing the length of time artists have a lock on their music would incentivise them to invest in their retirement.
The internet is in any event a blessing and a curse for artists. On the one hand, it has lowered the value they can get for individual plays of their product, but on the other it has enabled them to reach the entire worlds population as a potential market.
Google and Facebook have secured their dominance through offering a product that most people like. Yes we do have concerns about what they do with their data, but both companies have done well by not being Evil as Googles unofficial slogan once put it. They didn't always succeed in not being evil, but by and large they haven't performed any actions which make you wonder whether their respective CEOs are the AntiChrist.
Also cited was the breakup/limitations imposed on Bell and IBM respectively due to their stranglehold on the technological market through patents. I would suggest this maybe highlights a problem with patents themselves, which have problem with their length in a market where innovation needs to be fast.
In summary, changing the system may be more effective than attacking individual companies that have got successful by playing the system. Reducing copyright to 25 years and patents to say 5-10 years would perhaps be one way of ensuring that innovation happens faster.
(In short, they decay faster than Trump's attention span.)
Nope, Scientific tests have proven that nothing decays faster than Trump's attention span. However, it seems like a Twitter containment field can prevent such decay
What is being complained about is that people would rather have daylight after work has finished. In winter, moving the clocks back removes an hour of daylight from the evening.
As it doesn't gain any altitude one also questions as to whether it truly flies or just simply can get to a ground effect height of about 10 feet or so.
They are taking huge risks on IP, not hard assets like factories and they appear to be doing it unwisely.
Well due to the current copyright legislation, IP can pay back over a period of up to an hundred years, whereas a factory often only has a relatively short payback time during which you need to continously retool it.
But its not a matter of blind acceptance. Websites are increasingly "apps" for mobile devices, using a lot of JavaScript to load content on demand and to minimise the actual content loaded. Unless HTML6 introduces some new ideas for loading partial pages and components, with perhaps similar security risks, everyone is going to have to accept that noscript is not going to fly on most sites.
As far as I know, this is UK legislation and a UK authority. For another thing, the proposed "Great Reform Bill" incorporates all EU law into UK legislation up to the point we leave the EU; Parliament is then free to change such law as it sees fit.
I bought my son a Skull Canyon NUC which is a full i7 6820HQ which I equipped with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. Not a cheap solution but great performance in something the size of a DVD case. There are similar and cheaper solutions with anything from a Celeron upwards.
I'm not going to make the argument that Linux is invulnerable to viruses, because it isn't.
However, with Linux, you generally tend to upgrade regularly and continuously. You stay up to date. I doubt many people are still running Linux '95, or more accurately any version of Linux that came out in 1995. They'll be running a fairly recent version, and they'll be doing that because the upgrade costs are fairly minimal or are integrated into ongoing support costs.
An emissions test does not have to emulate real world driving conditions; it only has to have a relationship to real world driving conditions and provided a standard baseline to check whether a vehicle is in good repair.

What they're suggesting is actually remaining on "Summer" time all year round.
I think Marc Remillard 'arranged' for them to be there

When I was his age I often had to use. CALL -151 and I know what the A9 opcode means on a 6502
A9 opcode needs a following byte as it is LDA #immediatevalue.
Your explanation leads to the conclusion that Hans Kimmel secretly obtained a copy of his algorithm and was implicated in his demise

Indeedy, but words that carry certain expectations are not permitted in advertising.
