Accusing someone of molesting children is political speech now? Sure...
Isn't it right that people are careful what they say about other people?
I am a firm believer in free speech. The cure for bad speech (as the accusation apparently was) is not less bad speech but more good speech. If I were accused, anonymously, of pedophilia, I would not try to use the courts to find my accuser. Instead I would ignore the accusation unless it was repeated by an identifiable person, such as a reporter asking if it were true. I would answer the reporter by saying it was not, and offering to cooperate with the reporter's investigation into whether or not I was a podophile if he felt the accusation was credible enough to be worth the effort.
Free speech does not imply freedom from the consequences of your speech. If you make untrue accusations about someone you can be held accountable for your actions. The government is not stopping you from speaking, which would infringe your free speech rights. if you do it anonymously then it is not ureasonable for someone to want to pierce the veil of anonymity.
I can't even get close to understanding my girlfriend
You could have stopped there; that describes the entire population of boyfriends and later husbands once girlfriend becomes wife...
and switching to some other tool whether is proprietary or open source, is not the solution. You need to learn how the tool contributes to the end goal, and not just how to use its features. For example, if you learn the tenants of good design you are to limited to a single tool. You may use that tool and be most comfortable because it is and industry standard, but you could go back to pencil and paper and still turn out great designs. Similarly in business, you need to understand how to do financial analysis and may use Excel because that's what's installed on your computer but you could still do it the old fashioned way with a pencil, paper, and 11c. Knowledge outlasts tools. As my mechanic dad said "I started out tuning cars with a quarter and a wrench, later went to timing lights and now computers; but in the end it's still air spark and fuel..."
In the end, don't confuse with learning how to do something and how to use a tool.
Any three Greek letters, or just those combinations that are already established? Do you believe that the name IBM (three English ketters in succession) should not be trademarkable?
This is
These people are currently doing it to apparel businesses. You can't put a greek symbol on a shirt without lollygagging into their crosshairs, and with the internets, it's pretty convenient for them to troll around for potential offenders.
And some wonder why lawyers have a bad name.
No, you can't put copyrighted greek symbols on a product. You can still put any greek symbols on you want, but toucan't use the crest of ZTA or Farmhouse or whomever without licensing it.

I wish there were more people like him. I hope they spend tons of money trying to get him to pay up, and fail.
Nah, they'll just a lean on his restaurant.

Yes, we have moved far afield and I agree the changes I think are coming will not be easy, quick, nor may they all come to pass. My thought on the computer replacing the specialist as being harder is that the specialist is often looking for the cause of a problem and how to treat it beyond just looking a test results. The computer may be very good at pointing out anomalies and suggesting courses of action but not that good and drawing inferences and conclusions from them and other information that may not be readily quantified by a test result. they're real good at the routine and predictable but not very good when unfamiliar or complicating factors occur. As for an easier job, given most problems seen by GPs respond to treating the symptoms without determining the underlying cause; i.e. you have an infection, infections generally respond to X so i will prescribe X and the problem will go away even if I do not know what the case is you will be cured, so a computer could easily be designed to provide common treatment based on symptoms, IMHO.
I see your points but I guess we will just have to disagree on which areas of medicine may be most impacted by computers in terms of replacing a doctor.
