Doesn't really matter though, you can't charge somebody for bandwidth used to move data, only the bandwidth the end user used.

That the (S)NES and Genesis can output RGB via modding doesn't change the fact that game developers did use the artifacts from the composite output and the CRT to do what the GP mentioned.
I was talking about China as was the person I responded to. And just to correct myself, apparently 3 years ago they stopped executing people for it.
And they'll even execute you for non-violent offenses like not paying your taxes.
Way to not address my points. You've simply repeated your assertion. Why would any bank finance a car loan without insurance? That would be monumentally stupid.
If you were financing car loans would you do so without requiring it be insured? That would be an extremely dumb thing not to do.
Why would finance companies and state governments not still require you to carry insurance? No finance company is going to give you a car loan and not require you to insure it. Your post is hilariously naïve.
Oh and the insurance companies are hugely greater in size than car dealerships. Car dealers are chumps in comparison.
Accidents and injuries have been decreasing for more than a decade. And yet you're still required to have insurance both by financing companies and state governments.
There is absolutely zero reason to believe that finance companies and state governments will not still require insurance even when cars are automated.
Do unicorns and flying pigs exist in that fantasy world, too?
And the government requires it to be on the road.
Hahahahahahahahaha. No, they won't. They will keep themselves around through lobbying efforts.
Since when did being a politician or running a corporation ever have a prerequisite of having a moral fiber? Political corruption goes as far back as the first governments. Same with corrupt corporations.
Even the "classical" Western democracies and republics had rampant corruption. It's more "ironic" that you think having a moral fiber was ever regular.
If you stopped standing near the line trying to shoulder surf their PINs you wouldn't see so many.
Hurr hurr.
That's poor design of the hardware, not the software. When you have to figure out where the magstripe is on the card and then where the reader is so you get the right orientation, you're bound to get it wrong.
I was referring to both hardware and software in my comment. I've seen on numerous occasions a checkers having to help the person not only to swipe but which options to push in order to finish all the payment steps. And, yes, it is poor design. That was my entire point. The person I responded to said these were "intuitive" yet I've seen numerous people (not even just elderly people) struggle to use them.
The ATMs I use that have a simple slot to push the card into, I never get wrong. Card comes out of wallet with me holding the end that goes into the machine last. Very simple.
That's great for you. Plenty of people still have problems with them.
That's interesting because I see people on a daily basis fumbling with the debit/credit machines at checkouts. Even with basic things like swiping their cards. A big pain point is also becaue each one for each store chain has to be different in unnecessary and inconvenient ways.
