When you fly, which thing do you pick first, Price, or safety?

My point is, we the consumers are almost monolithic in picking the cheapest option first. I call it the Harbor Freight option. There is a reason there is no SnapOn Tool
or MacTool store in every city.

We're flying in Pittsburg quality airplanes, because that is what most people want.

The percentage of people who can rationally form any cohesive thought is astoundingly low.

The problem is that name calling works, so that functions as "intellectual" these days. I've been called a Zionist Jewish shill and a Nazi by the same person within minutes of each other. You can't make this stuff up.

That means you never tried and believe the bullshit your liberal parents told you about violence. The fact is, you punch the biggest kid in the room and people will notice. Bullies are bullies because they are particularly powerless, people that have true power don't need to announce or use it.

Copyright law typically trumps contract law, especially if the copyright isnâ(TM)t yours. The problem is that all copyright holders have to agree to sue, in the case of Linux this makes it effectively public domain, especially since IBM purchased the Unix source code from Novell a long time ago AND would need to be both the plaintiff and the defendant.

If you want to sue someone over Linux, start with any of the many Android vendors, but since Linus himself has refused to defend the kernel, the legal point is pretty much moot. Linux and most GPL code is public domain, exactly as Richard Stallman would have it, get over it.

Interesting, where did you learn such history as England and the US were amongst the first nations to start abolishing slavery. Slavery is still legal in large swathes of Africa and the Middle East (Islam outright requires slavery) as well as China and North Korea. Belgium had slaves in the 1960s (Belgian Congo), the French Revolution reinstated slavery also up to the 20th century, Germany up to the end of WW2 employed slaves and East Germany and the Soviets even longer, Dutch didnâ(TM)t do much better nor did the Spanish.

One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
