Slashdot users pretty much hate anyone who's successful enough to escape the banal world of IT by actually doing something worthwhile that people want.
I don't have a problem with you laughing me. I laugh at myself all the time. What I won't tolerate is the misappropriation of my name and image. Your need to laugh at me doesn't trump my legal rights to protect my name and image.
You're confusing me with Trump. The term you're looking for is "personal branding."
Personal branding is essentially the ongoing process of establishing a prescribed image or impression in the mind of others about an individual, group, or organization.
Apple already phased out 32-bit by making the programming tools 64-bit only on the developer side in 2014. When developers stopped supporting 32-bit apps with updates, I was forced to abandon my legendary black MacBook with a 32-bit processor. Linux Mint went on the MacBook and I switched to an inexpensive Dell laptop. The only 32-bit apps in the Mac store are by developers who are going the extra mile to support the older versions of Mac OS X.
" to keep one's image and likeness from being commercially exploited without permission or contractual compensation"
You're looking at the wrong part. The relevant part is, "the right to privacy, or the right to be left alone and not have one's personality represented publicly without permission."
Opening user accounts in variations of my name to post comments as I would post them and re-posting my pictures on unauthorized image websites is asking for trouble.
THIS is the "revenue stream" you're talking about that's going to let you retire?
Nope. This is extra money for something I'm already doing on Slashdot. This is one of many revenue streams that I have. This revenue stream may have tapered off in recent weeks because I had to use the DMCA takedown notices to scare straight a few asshats.
Yet the US spends some $600 billion on the largest jobs program in the world, the United States Armed Forces. What do we have for a return on our investment on that?
Professionally trained killers who are willing to give up their lives to protect you from the rest of the world.
Are they suggesting that Harvard students should be housed in California prisons?
That wouldn't be a bad idea. A 1978 documentary, Scared Straight!, had a group of juvenile delinquents meet harden convicts who scared the crap out of them to convince that a life of crime doesn't pay. Such an experience for the graduating class of Harvard might convince future Wall Street traders and politicians to be more ethical in their dealings.
As far as I am aware, you cannot use them online anywhere, only at physical locations where the retailer has tied into the EBT system.
Looks like Amazon joined the EBT program as an approved vendor.
Could you survive on $400 per month and be happy?
I shared a five-bedroom Victorian with 12 other guys for $200 per month while in college. Lived on $200 for the rest of the month. I worked full time in the summer to pay for classes and books. This was the early 1990's.
Lucky you. Most ACs can't tell the difference and blame me anyway.
So, ever been tested for ADHD?
Not to my knowledge. If I was diagnosed as ADHD when attending grade school in the early 1980's, I would have been medicated to the gills. Turning children into habitual drug users like their parents was a thing back then.
The people who worked in the system decided that over-the-counter asthma inhalers should be available by prescription. Once or twice a year, I might need a inhaler for my bronchial asthma. I used to walk into the drug store to buy one. My bronchial asthma isn't severe enough to warrant a prescription inhaler.
Microsoft has been an upstanding corporate citizen since settling the US antitrust case and increasing its lobbying budget from zero dollars to millions of dollars each year.

This!
You refuse to recognize our need to laugh at you.

Why don't you stop putting up pictures of yourself if they're so valuable?
I've been proactively restricting the usage of my pictures and issued a dozen DMCA takedown notices since this weekend.

So you got angry, and you retaliated. Got it.
Nope. This is business. I'm exercising my personality rights.

No one stole your pictures, you absurd mockery of a primate. No one was angry, no one was retaliating.
Where's criemer, cremier and creinner?
PS: No one was scared by your DMCA takedowns...

Why? They are not at any measurable risk of going to prison - prison is for the poor or middle class.
Call it sensitivity training then.

Getting tough is easier than getting smart when it comes to getting votes.
I had a Filipino coworker who named his three kids after the letters X, Y and Z. Unless you were a Filipino, those names were unpronounceable.

I doubt you've made a single dollar total since the start...
About $80 over the last three months. It tapered off quite a bit in recent weeks.
I've read a lot of your posts in the last week, and I think there's some attention-span issues there.
My posts or the posts written by the defunct trio of criemer, cremier and creinner?
third paragraph of tfa...
Buried that deep no wonder I didn't see it. ;)
The linked article doesn't mention that Amazon is going after EBT dollars that typically gets spent at Walmart.

Do they have Dick Cheney on the board of directors?
Was tempted.. but nah! You OWN that flab, buddy! XD
And every dollar of ad revenue. Thanks for promoting my link!
