Being able to win the Republican primary and being able to beat the Democrats in the general election are two very different things. Ironically, being better at the first these days means you're worse at the second.

I thought that only worked with a single window, though? Or do you have to leave all your windows open and just shutdown so it gets TERMed or something?
You must've missed the part where the most popular extension in the entire Mozilla "store" was the one that undoes the Australis interface around when it came out.
Fair enough. Although I thought that even some of them were anti-slave but kept quiet because politics. (After all we fought a whole civil war when the topic came to a head.)
Maybe it's just more blatant these days. Politicians who aren't as good at lying?
Most of the founding fathers were already wealthy, and that turned out fairly well for some reason.
Maybe we just don't have enough idealistic people like that anymore? I get the impression a disturbing proportion of politicians don't actually believe in the founding principles of the nation they govern anymore.
a citizen legislature where state house representatives have not raised their $100 per year salary since 1889
Holy shit, they actually still do that somewhere?
This crazy idea that going into politics for the money and power shouldn't be the reason behind it--rather, that you actually want to serve the people--desperately needs to be spread.
Presumably the reasoning is that without protection and being given directly the ability to profit off their inventions,* inventors wouldn't bother inventing?
* in theory. cf. large corp "patenting around you" for all possible applications, waiting for it to expire, then doing it themselves, while being protected by team of expensive lawyers
You seem quite dense. The "objective" is the purpose. The "means" is not the objective.
Yes, I'm aware of what all those words mean, and that's how I was using them.
I think my point was that it's ("we do <means> to achieve <objective>"), not the other way around. The objective of the system is to promote science and arts, not make people rich.
And the problem isn't that we're not doing the means, it's that we're doing it too much--too much protection such that it never *stops* being protected, which kills the whole objective to which lip service is being paid.
I've read this over so many times I'm not sure whether we're arguing anymore.
We seem to have had widely different readings of the GP's post.
Copyright != Trademark. Understanding the difference is crucial to understanding the issue.
Then someone better tell YouTube because they're already issuing DMCA take downs on videos using the word React. What's that stand for again? Digital Millennium Copyright Act? Huh, wonder where people get the phrase "Copyright takedown"? No idea.
I'm interpreting the latter to mean
Maybe copyright and trademark are indeed different things, but YouTube seems to be acting as if they aren't.
The unclear antecedent doesn't help matters...maybe it would work better if we replaced "issuing" with "acting on"?

Just wow. You really don't understand the issues involved. YouTube doesn't issue takedown notices - quite the opposite, they receive them from those claiming rights to content.
I believe the "they" in "they're issuing takedowns" referred to The Fine Bros.
The answer is that he can format his partition if he wants to because the proper way to do it is not to use the rm command at all.
Exactly! So to restate,
At what time would I ever use 'rm -rf/'
You just keep reiterating the question as if it's somehow the answer. Or by
"rm -rf/" doesn't reformat anythings. I only deletes files, from all mounted partitions, including any mounted network share. It's not the same as mkfs.ext4
did you mean
rm and format are two different things. You'd want to format in a situation where you didn't want to rm.
? Which isn't really helpful at all, but just a tautology.
The design of systemd has ignited controversy within the free software community. Critics argue that systemd is overly complex and suffers continued feature creep, and that its architecture violates the design principles of Unix-like operating systems. There is also concern that it forms a system of interlocked dependencies, thereby giving distribution maintainers little choice but to adopt systemd as more user-space software come to depend on its components.[64]
*pay some fucking attention when you see more packages marked as remove than you bargained for and use ctrl+c to kill the apt-get command before it completes
I tried that once and it was pretty much the equivalent of shooting my package manager in the head. I ended up with a number of packages with conflicting versions that it couldn't figure out how to resolve, and I didn't know how to fix.
Don't do that unless your beard is sufficiently long.

There are no rules anywhere. The Goddess prevails
Interstitial webpage, a web page that is displayed before an expected content page
"Inter" and "before" are fundamentally incompatible. Either what they really mean is "pre-stitial", or they're abusing the English language.

Anyone who likes Australis may as well just switch to Chrome.
But Mozilla is planning to jettison their extension system--literally the last reason to keep using Firefox--so the whole thing is kind of moot.
You must've missed the part where the most popular extension in the entire Mozilla "store" was the one that undoes the Australis interface around when it came out.
So sure, "a tiny minority."
On the contrary, a good imagination loosed on the world is a good thing.

Libertarians are at best "redneck republicans" and at worst "facists"
It's a pretty good rule of thumb to ignore political opinions from anybody who can't spell fascism correctly.

Of anyone around here, coldfjord is probably the least likely to commit the legal definition of treason.
If by "treason" you mean "betraying some notion of the people of this country, rather than the country itself," you're using a nonstandard definition.

is the means by which they hope to achieve it.
No, it's not a trade-off.
What's the common factor in this guy having trouble with BMW and Tesla?
Maybe it's him.
Or maybe car companies in general are just jerks.

Obviously you can type. Go look it up on Wikipedia.
