A company I've never heard of to acquire something I've never heard of from a company going out of business. Nice.
In the summer of '77, I was playing around-the-world in the driveway at dusk and my grandma was visiting. My little brother came tearing out of the house, "Look what Gramma brought us! (Spins it around) Star Wars!"
The Founding Fathers you reference were even more fearful of governments wih the power to censor or dictate business. The East India company had sway because it could influence politicians to use their overly-vast power to its advantage.
Solve the problem by reducing the power of government, check.
Why peole run around so scared of companies when human history shows it's government with too much power that's the problem, even when it overlaps companies, I don't know.
BTW, corporate personhood has nothng to do with corporate "rights", which merely derive directly from the rights of the corporate owners
Well, nudging it with sufficient time is the real course of action.
They ran the numbers to do it Hollywood-style, to make a 600-mile wide asteroid blow itself into pieces such that most cleared the Earth's diameter with seconds to go.
It's like estimating the energy needed to blow up a planet, some 200 million tons of matter converted to energy, which would still take hours, and comparing it to idiocy like in Star Wars where the pieces are suddenly traveling at a significant fraction of the speed of light, which is many, many magnitudes more.
Still, you didn't miss much other than urine dribbling out his artificial labia of his dickless crotch causes a short at an inopportune moment on Mars.
Is that really the meme that's developed? This sounds like a variant on Obama's "public bridges" drive the west's economic might, not economic freedom.
Free individuals created this society, dragging your ass along with it. You are the beneficiary of it, not the lord and master, regardless of how much your memes tell you.
Does nobody remember an article on Slashdot a few years back?
1. The top programmers are 4x as productive as the average one. 2. There are some problems the top programmers can do the average ones cannot no matter how much time they were given.
If you don't fall into that category, and you probably know if you do, don't bother.
Actually the fastest guy would probably benefit from a small audience of programmers pointing out he missed a semicolon or that array is wrong-sized somewhere. This would be obvious to you as such a top programmer.
The penalty must be near-zero. There are people with YouTube channels who bash Islam. Islamists issue DCMA takedowns flatly lying they own it. The reason is the real ownee's response is to counter-claim, easy enough, but they must submit their legal name and address, which is why the Islamists want it. The penalty for them is much less than the street justice penalty they want to hand out.

Well, kudos to DC police for not playing slobbering idiot and throwing him into jail just for posessing it.

And way, way, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more diplomatic than calling it Big Brother.
You are probably not gonna use what you learned in Huckleberry Finn or History, either.
There's a reason these are taught, and it's not all about pure facts.
I would appreciate it if I would at least spell my spelling-related snarks properly.
Here, I'll helpa Brit out, "You misspelled the metal. It's not 'alumnum' but 'aluminium."
Sigh. I shall slink away now.
Our space program just rocket skycraned a 6-wheel robot onto Mars.
It had alumnum in it.

"So what?" I had never heard of it.
I assume this is like that.

Robert A. Heinlein. Because no matter how much he's appreciated, he's still underappreciated.
Let's rephrase: We OEMs can't use off-the-shelf stuff produced by the billions to slap together hardware shoveled out the door anymore.
Mars, actually.

Pal, this thread is about science fiction, not fact.

These were depressing or terrible?
Rectangular squares are better for dungeon tunnels and rooms, hexagonal for open areas.
Everyone knows this.

Alternatively, "There's a worls of competitive programming?"
My ego won't be hurt. Have at thee!
Hmmm...gonna need a ready-made framework for I/O so I don't waste precious seconds redoing it each time...
It's fake the same way as your tweets you're nailing a chick who laughs at your humor.
"Nina, I'm behind on my 2007 taxes and don't know what to do. Can you go set up a payment plan?"
Good. 'cause my single-core Droid Charge can take up to 5s to start a button press on a web page. It would do MS Bloatware proud.
Too many Ice Cream Sandwiches, I'm guessin'.
Plastic bags. Look into it. You can even reuse them if you're so anal-retentively inclined.

No, this is what happens when the penalty for fraudulent misuse (even accidental)) is next to nothinsg.
A lot of the boilerplate turns over ownership, or at least lets them search through it at their heart's content.
It's like renting a storage unit with the contract stating they now own your stuff in there and can take it out for a spin whenever they feel like it.
There is an opportunity for good old-fashioned online storage and CPU cycle rental.
Wow, "good old-fashioned CPU cycle rental".
Ya. ePeens.
