English isn't patented, but books are, articles are, any form of published writing can be copyrighted. If we're using similar logic for computing, then you may not be able to patent programming languages, but you can patent a result of a comprised set of written code.
That's the point. They had to be subpoenaed in order to be authorized to invade someone's privacy. They can't flippantly decide to view peoples emails or texts. They'd either get fired from their job, or get sued.
Enough with the cussing please? Being belligerent is not helping your case. Like I said before, professionals aren't watching kids and whether or not they use gun emoji's. Thus they aren't obligated to report threats, and parents cannot sue Apple/Microsoft, or whomever for any damages whatsoever.
I'm sorry, a kid doesn't need emoji's to make a threat, nor does it cause kids to make said threats. Furthermore, Apple doesn't snoop into peoples texts and emails to scan for that, nor are they required by law to do so. In fact if they did, they'd probably get sued for invasion of privacy.
From someone who knows climate change exists, and doesn't believe in Evolution, your entire argument in this post is a big ad hominem. In fact, in your attempt to refute the comment above you, you did EXACTLY what he claimed.
Most 'Climate Change deniers' that I know of aren't denying climate change itself, but the conclusions drawn from them, that the world and all of humanity will be doomed as a result of us humans not conserving, that the results of global warming are as catastrophic as some propose, and whether or not humans are to blame.
Just because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't make them an idiot.
Electric cars are not by themselves lessening carbon emissions. In fact, in some countries, they increase carbon emissions. While the car itself may no longer be a direct contributor, the coal factories that supply the power to run these cars increase their emissions, making such environmental benefits moot. We have to tackle both the energy plants and the vehicles, otherwise, we only make the matter worse.
I love how Microsoft started by giving Office applications away for free, regardless of whether or not you wanted them on your PC back in the 90's. And now you have to pay for it.

Wow, time flies. I didn't realize it had already been a year and a half.
4.0 just came out a couple of months ago and now we're on 4.8. That's fast. Did Linus choose a different numbering scheme for the Linux kernel?
Let's just hope they don't buy Slack out and then 'integrate' it into their preexisting software like they do with everything else.
Apple employees are not mental health professionals, nor do they work at schools.

EBWOP 'in a text'.
A gun emoji in a is a threat that Apple has to report under law? This has to be the dumbest thing I've heard today.
There needs to be more emoji control! If you possess an emoji, you better have a permit.
Wait, don't I need Linux Genuine Advantage to take advantage of aptitude in Mint?
I mean, how does Torvalds & Clement Lefebvre know that I purchased a copy and that it wasn't pirated?

As a Linux user, I applaud you. Good jab. LOL
This is an extremely limited and inaccurate view of the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act.
First, this details what a FULL warranty is, and does not supersede state laws or the FTC's addressing of antitrusts.
Furthermore, the following law clearly states that they CAN detail the limitations of the warranty. https://www.law.cornell.edu/us...
I like how we want bigger and better, but we don't want bigger and better.

It was expensive, but Lotus and quadro were more expensive than Excel.

I may have been misinformed, but they did make the suite excessively cheap and had lawsuits for monopolization for a while because of it.

'Game Changer' considered a 'Toy'.
So this is how the IRS is really targeting specific groups of people for auditing!
If you read my reply, I corrected that comment.
OK so I missed the fact that it specified a third. Still, it seems to be natural if they can target what people are interested in.
