I would think trade marking Light sword and Light Blade would be hard, even Light saber is difficult.
It's a light saber, as in, a saber that is physically light. Bam, can't trade mark the word and force english to change to protect your trade mark.
Light battle, plasma sword, sword of light, all things used all over the place. Being so Iconic 'Light Saber' and the fact that they appear as such is probably the only thing they can really strike down.
Microsoft tried to do that with the UFEI boot, but as you know you can now launch linux with it as well, and motherboards purchased allow you to completely disable it.
Lot of people have posted a 'theory' to this, including myself. There's just no data or pursuit to follow to prove it. E.G Inside massive black hole / does god exist.
Actually if we were in a large enough super massive black hole (Like known universe size super ultra massive black hole) you wouldn't notice the effects for millions of years. Since everything is reletive, all objects in the universe would be accelerating towards the black hole at roughly the same speed.
Even if 'moving away from the 'center' relative to you, but in in reference to the black hole, falling slower than you. So we could be in the event horizon of a black hole this very moment. Might account for some of the strange 'expansion of the universe' rate issues.
Perhaps super massive ejected black holes? If they're not currently consuming matter, they are only detectable by their gravitational effects and potential lensing.
Yeah I don't like the wording, and it's finally hit a point where I actually flat out refuse to use or purchase certain technology strictly on their terms of use these days. Before it was protection, now it means something, since they have the ability to collect so much data.
If people aren't willing to give you money to view your website, or watch ads to fund your website, your website has a zero dollar value.
You can't get mad and demand that it doesn't. Block ads as you wish. It's also completely fair to block loading of the website to kick off freeloaders if you content is truly desired.
Set it so if you run an ad blocker and block your site, you don't provide content. Then you will get a true valuation of your website. That's what people fear the most. The truth about their value.
If people aren't willing to pay a subscription, or watch ads to view your content, what makes "you" believe your content is worth while?
If there are sites that cannot continue to exist in the format they are now because you refuse to watch advertisements on their site and are not interested in paying for their content, then it obviously needs to die. That's how business works.
Imagine if I opened a brick and mortar store, and offered samples of different types of chip flavors. Similar and different, to other brands.
Now, say when I offer free samples or a free bag of chips, people are interested and or will eat them. Later I change it, and I demand that if they want a free bag of chips, they need to read the advertising on the bag. If people aren't reading the advertisements on the bag and won't visit my shop and purchase chips on their own, do I get to make it illegal that people didn't read the advertising on the bag?
No, it's probably best for me to close shop, as this business model isn't sustainable. It doesn't matter if at one point,people did read the bags.The fact is, they don't care to do it anymore.
Death by vaporization due to a thermal event, dying from the radiation (Almost like instantly dying) or maybe the enemy drops naplm on me and I'm screaming to my death as my skin melts off...well, let's face it, dying is dying.
People don't realize the power density of uranium. The weight of a single tree, in uranium, replaces 5,000,000 trees needing to be burned for fuel. Coal and the rest aren't much better.
Nuclear power, it just generates heat, which is used to make steam, which powers turbines.
Don't be against nuclear power, be against unsafe nuclear power, as in, don't allow shortcuts that compromise safety, and need better redundancy for emergency shutdowns.
One of the issues with autistic people with no learning disabilities is that they tend to be more analytical, which is why they are often represented in the scientific community.
When you can analyze peoples behaviors, know what they do, why they do it, you'll find it's glaring in day to day activities how selfish people are and how their attempts at masking it are pathetic. The most insulting part is they act shocked as if it would be impossible to know their actual intentions when it's pretty clear. Autistic people don't want to form relationships with most people, because most people aren't worth forming relationships with.
It's not clever either, when you get nailed to change your actions going forward and pretending you aren't as transparent as you really are. People are very predictable, except it's like knowing the future.
As soon as you know what you are going to do next, the future has changed, as you have new information that is going to change your actions.
It's the same thing when you prove someones predictability. It is as if that is a persons #1 fear, is that you know what they are doing. So they immediately change behavior to try and remain unpredictable.
Someone already responded but basically what he said. A lot of it has to do with that people aren't aware as to why it has been tasting different and aren't sure.
If they saw it was GMO it would click and they would be 'Ahh..I see. Well, I don't like these' and then they might stop buying them. People aren't always sure that it isn't them that changed their opinon of a food, not the fact that the food itself has changed.
There are strains of fruits that have been GMO'd to "grow larger" by modifying the amount of water it naturally absorbs. So the flavor and nutrition gets diluted ( technically remains the same) but the product is larger and heavier as it stored more water, and you pay more as it's measure by weight.
Sure, and how come your programs are 'missing' now and you can't find all your pictures.
This is why companies want to push cloud everything always on storage, so you just purchase a new PC your pictures / everything is available. Also, you must always have internet, and then also likely will be charged a monthly service fee.
This isn't available for a lot of PC users yet. More realistically home support is around 40-60$ an hour. If you don't want to pay a hundred bucks for your PC repair, you/are/ going to pay 500$ for a new PC. You'll also have to set all your applications backup and sign into everything again.
So either you pay someone for their time, or you spend your time. Currently people don't want to spend their time, but one day it won't be a choice.
It's like self checkout at grocery stores. Now you have to scan and bag your groceries. Same idea will apply to PCs.
It takes a lot of time to be an expert in the IT field. Lot of problems are unique, require research and investigation into the problem. They may come run a script on your PC that takes five minutes but it took hours to identify the cause of the issue and write the script.
You'll get a lot more call center like support, where the buck is passed and no one really knows how to fix it, or cares to put the time in figuring it out for you. You'll get "Oh, have you tried turning it off and on? Oh that didn't work? You need to purchase a whole new PC".
I've considered changing careers myself because the amount of time needed to be put in to stay on top of the latest technology changes and be proficient with all adaptations of windows, android, linux, ios, etc, vs the pay isn't really worth it.
If people weren't interested in it enough to put in hours beyond what they work to keeping up with tech it wouldn't happen.
If you ever feel that IT people act superior its because you're putting in no effort to learn the technology, and you look at us like chumps who waste our time and want us to just magic the problem away for you at minimum wage.
Not owed or entitled? Where the fuck do you get owed and entitled out of this scenario?
You want to talk real world? Let's talk business. It's a business contract you fuck. The only owed and entitled behavior is the concept that companies think they are entitled to cheap labor. E.G Normal business would be - 'I will exchange this amount of money for you to perform this task on me' and if it is too low, people go 'No, your desired amount to pay for this work is not enough, I am not interested'
Then the company would have to go 'Okay, I'm negotiating to pay you more, in exchange to do this work' Then the other party can choose to accept it or not.
Instead what we get it companies who don't want to pay the wages the population of the country and instead of the above happening, they go 'Not enough workers! We need to get people from OTHER countries to come perform this work', and the lobby the government, slip some money here and there, and poof, you have forced cheap labor.
Your bullshit will only have a place to stand once we stop displacing citizens with temporary workers at cheaper wages. You want to do business in this country, to take the peoples money in this country, and the people should dictate what business practices are acceptable in the country.
Not a bunch of stuffy old fucks getting paid way too much in a cushy job deciding for the rest of the country to keep wages suppressed.

Even still.
What I really ment to highlight out of that was the fact that you can UFEI linux.
It's unlikely to work for a long time.
Microsoft tried to do that with the UFEI boot, but as you know you can now launch linux with it as well, and motherboards purchased allow you to completely disable it.
Five dimensional black hole maybe?

Perhaps super massive ejected black holes? If they're not currently consuming matter, they are only detectable by their gravitational effects and potential lensing.

It's simple business economics really.

They want to conceal it because they have genetic modifications they want to make that increase profitability, not things that benefit the consumer.
E.G They make it heavier / larger by having it absorb more water. Nutritional value either remains the same or decreases, but you pay more.
How does this benefit you? It doesn't. You pay more for something that has more water in it. Doesn't have more calories or anything.
