Comment Re:Was it a Russian drone? (Score 0) 51

Russia has more reason to attack it because in doing so, people like you will contemplate it being Ukraine blaming Russia to garner sympathy. Of course, Ukraine has more reason to attack is so people like me will think it's Russia hoping to blame Ukraine for it being Russia false-flagging Ukraine's implication of Russia being to blame while falsely accusing Ukraine.

Given this level of subterfuge, all I can say is, "Sloppy job, Mossad."

Most of the opponents are unions.

Good point. So here's a solution to make everyone happy: A precondition for the acquisition of Warner Brothers (by anybody) should be to place WBs current library in the public domain. Then the unions and everyone else will have plenty of work to do creating new content.

After all, isn't this what copyright is supposed to encourage? The creation of new works?

Comment Re:But can Anish Kapoor use it? (Score 1) 52

I think that's a bit of a joke. Isn't Kapoor the guy who thinks he has the exclusive right to develop artwork in stainless steel as well?

Sure, the patent holder of VANTA Black may have accepted money from Kapoor for the right. But that makes Kapoor the idiot. How can one restrict the use of something if it is sold it in rattle-cans?

There's far more information available now than there ever was.

You didn't have gopher?

The Internet was, and still is, more than http/https. But that's only for people who know their way around it. The rest of you are like the fat kid on a boy scout camp-out when the bear (Google) arrives. As long as you keep it fed, we'll be safe.

Git gud.

I back one car into the garage, around another that is sitting in that driveway "lane". Because the doors are wide, there's a workbench against the wall and keeping the driver's door in the center is the only way to get in/out. And I only have 6" clearance from either side mirror.

I'm one of the few people in my neighborhood that makes use of my garage for ... automobiles.
