According to Gruber: If it weren't for Apple we'd probably still be using computers with VGA and serial ports.
In my time I've heard some supposedly intelligent people say some screwy shit but that deserves a special award (special as in "my mommie says I'm special").
...because Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney are obviously not already rewarded well enough for just having written a few songs.
I'm happy with artists/publishers being in total control over new songs, just as long as they also agree to laws that make the music revert to public domain after a reasonable time, say 10 years, not the 100 or so years that a few years ago Sony managed to convince the courts was necessary, which is patently ridiculous.
OK so you have managed to build a botnet large enough to give you the potential to apply pressure to change the world in some small way, and the best you can come up with is to ruin the weekend for a few kids by disrupting traffic to some game servers? Pathetic, just Utterly Pathetic. Thats the real trouble with Lizard Squad and all the other DDOS skript kiddies these days. They have zero fucking style or imagination.
I supose you're one of those people that flatly refuse to acknowledge any of the tons of evindence in front of your face that Hilary is the leader of one of the biggest crime families in the US?
>> I don't see that there is problem with liberty and staying in the EU. Have you seen the anti-democratic shit coming down the pipeline? They're blatantly planing a single federal superstate.
>> At least the EU is more democratic than the UK
Wow I'd love to know what you're smoking. You had a chance to vote for Juncker or any of the other presidents of the the EU then did you? No thought not.
So you voted for Jean Claude Juncker to be president of the EU commission, and you voted for Neil Kinnock to be an EU commissioner then? oh wait... Only being able to vote on relatively minor functionaries like MEPs is about as effective in actually changing anything as voting on who will be your Starbucks barista. More to the point, its actually not democratic. With every democratic system you get to directly vote for the party/leader. You have no say in that with the EU.
...and you're conveniently ignoring all the risks and uncertainty of staying in the EU, including federalization into one big superstate already ruled by unelected officials. How very democratic. NOT.
>> So let's see, where does the UK make most of it's trade? Exactly: With other EU countries.
Yes but EU legislation ensures the UK doesn;t get true freedom of choice. Your argument is circular. Given a level playing field the UK would be doing a LOT more trade with other economies.

Your complete cluelessness is funny. I'm actually 53, clean shaven and English.
...since it alone ensures I will never buy an iPhone.
Update: it appears its actually 70 years not 100 years, which IMHO is still fucking ridiculous.

Just look at the way any company that Zuckerberg gets involved in abuses its own customers. Really what did you expect?

In other news, the US invented everything and won WW2 single-handed.
Sorry, my sarcasm detector doesn't work too well before the 1st morning coffee :-)

No one wants to. Including Bill.

Nope, I'd start over and implement a backup policy this time round.
Call me strange but if you get all the work done that your employer expects of you, I dont see that it matters which tools you used to do it.
Actually, by using automation he probably sginificantly reduced the number of human errors that would have been made otherwise.
...and the stupid morons paid up so they will just encourage them more.
How these retards live in denial amazes me.
>> If you do something that is not harming anybody else but you
Iwould agree but in the case of drugs theres a whole industry of death living off your money.
...or better yet just dont use recreational drugs....
