What the fuck do you think shareware was in the first place? A free trial of a program with limited functionality made with the hopes of getting you to pay for the full un-limited product.
No, seriously. The Federal government has had effectively zero capability to tell other companies how to design their products or how to build them, unless they were actively hurting people.
Well, too busy whining to write PROPER code. Still one hell of an attack surface in glibc that can lead to arbitrary execution of code, yet he's too busy being offended at the removal of some little in-joke which came from out of the cruft of his fucking navel that he won't fix what's been pointed out to him for over 12 months.
No, because even children have a better time remembering than old people. That's why it's called senility, for OLD people that now forget such basic shit.
No, those were extremely horrible. I inherited one of those from someone. No, just no. Even the shitty digital pitch shifter in the SBLive sound card sounds 3,000x better.
"None of them have their own credit cards and their parents sure as hell aren't going to let them run up massive charges on theirs or even let them use it."
Do you have your head in the sand? Plenty of soccer moms exist which think their little snowflake can do no wrong, and they get credit card access ALL THE TIME.
"I don't believe you've actually tried this in a blind test"
Blind test isn't needed - any fucking analysis tool can show this without needing to hear a thing. The waveforms themselves are DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT thus THE SOUNDS ARE DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT.
I guess you never spent any time making NES music - which uses raw waveforms. The difference is clearly audible no matter what.
You very obviously know JACK SHIT about re-feralized pigs.
So keep on with your idiocy. Meanwhile, those of us that lived on farms and have dealt with this problem for decades can just look at you, laugh, and pretty much take you for a complete fucking moron.
And I was raised by a USMC grandfather. I played with more guns and explosives than you've ever laid eyes upon, child.
"why do you need semi-automatic weapons that fire high-powered rounds"
Because a shotgun does exactly jack shit against a re-feralized 600 pound pig with massive fucking tusks charging your ass or harassing your animals or crops. You need PENETRATING POWER and you quite often need more than one bullet to stop it, AND you need to stop it rapidly, so sticking around fucking with a bolt-action is liable to get your ass gored by aforementioned tusks in a close-range shooting situation, thus the need for semi-automatic capability.
"Condoleezza Rice talked about black people in Birmingham needing to defend themselves from the KKK because the police would not protect them. I'm not sure that exact reason is valid today because times have changed and that situation is unlikely to occur in the present."
Well, the USSC ruled in this century that the police have no constitutional duty to protect you, period, barring a special pre-existing relationship. Guess what that means? Your ass is, by court ruling, on your own for defense.
"So, can you tell me why civilians in the present day need weapons like the AR-15?"
Come live here near the Mexican border. Or be forced to live in any gang-ridden area in any semi-major metro area. You get to see the reasons for yourself instead of reading about it.
And in the case of invasion of country, at least civilians with AR-15 experience can pick up the M-16 or M-4 of a fallen homeland soldier and continue the fight with minimal instruction, since they're familiar with the majority of the weapon design and functionality off the bat.
Everyone has failed so hard at the first three levels of OSI through shitty programming that they rely upon several more layers of OSI to cover up for even shittier programming now.
Security comes through good programming practices, thorough testing, and sticking to KISS ideas.
Thus this state law is not legal, and the power for authorizing this sort of behavior falls to the Federal Government.
Unless the bill explicitly states that it works only within the state's borders and where all entities involved are within said jurisdiction, this will get struck down on any reasonable challenge.
I can and I am tested. Sorry boss, you're just genetically deficient and lost your ability to maintain hearing range over a shorter timespan than myself due to those genetic deficiencies, though in all fairness my hearing is finally degrading at the high end, right around 36 years of age.
But I still hear bats all night long, and quite the variety of pitches, some matching dog whistles or better.
I guess you've never played with any actual band, or even seen any of the 60s and 70s-style big-band groups. Most trumpets are mic'd with a pre-amp unless you're doing orchestral work or high school marching band. Your lungs also work as an amplifier along with your diaphragm, making the note almost as quiet or as loud as you want.

"Maybe you should look into "dependency hell", a new special hell for application written in last year or two"
You must be fucking new, because Dependency hell was a thing in the 90s.
This doesn't violate various robocall laws?
"A free trial *is not* "the return of shareware""
What the fuck do you think shareware was in the first place? A free trial of a program with limited functionality made with the hopes of getting you to pay for the full un-limited product.
Except it's the app store sharing it instead of a forum or BBS.
Apple never liked demo/shareware software much because it could be buggy and make their hardware look bad.
"Except nobody that actually bought one is complaining."
Hard to complain online when the fucking keyboard doesn't work.
Then you are obviously not even old enough to vote and should probably not even be here, child.
The A in AI does stand for 'artificial' and not 'accurate.'
No, seriously. The Federal government has had effectively zero capability to tell other companies how to design their products or how to build them, unless they were actively hurting people.
The CPSC even has rules regarding this.

I can hear bat calls and dog whistles. My ears are WAY better than yours.
No, those were extremely horrible. I inherited one of those from someone. No, just no. Even the shitty digital pitch shifter in the SBLive sound card sounds 3,000x better.

See: My upstairs neighbor. Kids get EVERYTHING.
"Why a developer, developing for AMD-64 on top of AMD Hardware (think Athlon, Buldozer, Ryzen/Epyc et al) would be using an "INTEL's" Docs?"
You don't fucking belong here. AMD and Intel cross-license all kinds of shit to each other for the x86-64 uArch.
Nursing home time for you.

"We know how to do anything digitally and with analogue technology."
Uh, yea, about that; go find me an analog pitch shifter. Good luck with that!
You very obviously know JACK SHIT about re-feralized pigs.

Which is actually a good thing, because that means fewer thermal cycles to cause damage to the card.
"Trumpets don't have a pre-amp/power amp."
I guess you've never played with any actual band, or even seen any of the 60s and 70s-style big-band groups. Most trumpets are mic'd with a pre-amp unless you're doing orchestral work or high school marching band. Your lungs also work as an amplifier along with your diaphragm, making the note almost as quiet or as loud as you want.
"Actually the harmonic does follow an attenuation curve of 6db/oct exactly as I claimed."
You sure as fuck did not read the posted study link, did ya you disingenuous fuck?
"Wrong, harmonics do not exist in analogue world."
Did you even take a music class in school or are we still doing like Jethro Bodine and still sitting in 5th grade?
*plays a natural harmonic on a guitar*
I mean, it's not like the term hasn't been in use for several fucking centuries before digital anything came into existence.
