uhhh.. it's actually very hard to find a modern motherboard which still has an LPT port..
Most printers these days don't even have an LPT port anymore, and there are excellent LPT-USB cables.. My Dell Precision here at work which is about 3 years old, doesn't have an LPT port..

haha, I agree completely with you.. Why should I move because the other is in 'my lane' but isn't paying attention to where he/she is walking..
And I agree especially with your remark on movie theatre texters...... haha...

It was filed in 2008, but there were already others publicly using smartphones the 'google cardboard' way, so there is prior art, and therefore I already find it very weird Apple was awarded the patent.. Seems like they (again) give the patent officer one hell of a bribe....

and that's exactly how this is set up, it's earnings will come through the reality show.. And that's why IMHO it should be stopped immediatly.
Also there is no large space-agency (or large commercial company) behind this, so it's even a project by people who have absolutely no experience in space-fare at all..
Also I'm pretty sure, the people who applied really have no idea what they are in for, and a lot of them I'm pretty sure will have regrets after a few months and with no way to return it's just a load of bullocks..

It's not necessary for people to know how to code, we don't learn everybody how to build a car or a home, or learn how to cook or full electronics..
If one has an interest in coding, then yes, you might learn him/her how to code..
There are already way to much 'fun'-classes which aren't necessary.. Let the children just learn the basics well, like read/write/math, and let the rest be stuff they really want to persue, just like we did in our past..
Why would you need to learn how to code? there are more than enough people around who actually like to code stuff, and there are more than enough applications which fulfill the needs of the people who can't code..
And IMHO these days it really isn't real coding anymore, just putting together some objects and that's it, but most coders these days have no clue how it actually works (which IMHO, as a real developer, is much more important as it also will let you fix/create stuff if there isn't already a fully fledged framework around)..

It's the 'artist' that signed a contract with the company, so he/she knows what he/she gets or doesn't get..
An artist working for a record company is nothing more than a regular employee..

What right has FAA to say anything about the moon.. NONE... If I go to the moon and claim a piece of property, it's mine and there's nothing FAA can do about it.. But then again, getting to the moon is the culprit now...

what could go wrong with doing something like that.......................

All it means is that you pay WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much for their products.......

Add a function to track the google employee's and see how fast the feature will be removed.. ofcourse it's ridiculous to add police positions to such a tool.. Developers really should start thinking before adding stuff like that, you think developers would be smarter than that........

If you got paid to drive your daughter's friends home, then YES you should have a commercial driver's license... There is a difference ofcourse between just driving someone home (you know and maybe get a bit of gasmoney), or being a regular taxi (because that's actually what those services are)..
Why should a regular taxidriver need a commercial drivers insurance/plate while someone who is driving for UberPop or Lyft wouldn't (even though they are exactly the same)..

There are excellent video/audiosuits for linux which you can buy, so not being able to go linux only is BS..... And 3D and 2D are still best on Windows..

It's not legal to fly a drone over property without permission, it's not legal to film a property without permission. Also, it's your drone, so you are responsible to whatever happens if it crashes.. You can try to sue the person who damaged your drone while it was over his/her property, but I'm pretty sure you'll loose...

It's just the closeminded thinking of an apple fanboy of thinking 'why run linux on a mac', why do people want to run linux on a PC, or a PS3 or whatever device?
So many people so many whishes... Some people like MacOS, some people like Windows, and some people like Linux..

Well, but if the terms and conditions aren't according to the law then those are not valid. Also in a number of countries investigators have priviliges so they don't have to obey some laws if that inhibits their investigation (just like a cop can run through a red light if they have their sirene on)..
