In the meantime, he won't see a cent of my money, and by the time either of those two conditions are met, it will be at a discount anyway because it will be months / years old.
By that point, they'll be giving out free licenses on Epic, right before Tiny Tina's Telltale Pre-Sequel Bonerfarts 3 comes out.
PRINCE JOHN: You changed your name to latrine?
LATRINE: Yeah, it used to be Zuckerberg!
I bought an unlicensed copy of Black Sabbath's Sabotage for six bucks at a Sam Goody when I stopped at a mall while passing through Mobile AL back in 1997.
It was a steal!
The various ones I've seen all identify themself in the headers. I just made an Outlook rule to auto-forward them to IT without ever bothering me about it.
Jack Chick was just ripping off Tom of Finland.
I shouldn't have to ask it to avoid leaking memory. If I do, it's insufficiently "intelligent" to be trusted with any responsibility.
Whenever I meet a new chatbot, I ask it to "Sort a linked list in C".
If the resulting code leaks memory, I don't trust the bot to write code.
So far, none have earned my trust.
Oh yeah, I remember that scene in "Spaceballs" where they fast-forwarded to 1989 so they could watch "When Harry Met Sally" two years before it actually came out. It was weird.
In about 5-6 billion years our sun will run out of Hydrogen fuel, and will turn into a red giant, which will make Earth barren and without life.
At that point, the surface of the sun will be beyond Earth's current orbit, and this planet will just be a contaminant in the Sun's composition.
When I look at all the new "apps" I've installed on my phone in the last year, there is only one: the Android port of Balatro.
I suppose AI could give me a fake Balatro, complete with animations and whatnot, but that sounds a lot more resource-intensive than just running reasonably well-written software.
Not really. They're making a co-op squad shooter and calling it "Marathon", because it's the newest trademark Bungie still owned when Sony bought 'em up.
Microsoft/Activision owns Destiny.
Microsoft/343Industries owns Halo.
TakeTwo owns Myth and Oni.
A new Marathon game would resemble Marathon. Halo ODST is the closest thing I've seen to a "new Marathon game" since Marathon Infinity, and I doubt Sony/Bungie's new Marathon will be any closer.
It appears that the assets included the existing service contracts with customers, which included these "lifetime" agreements.
The buyer is telling the customers they failed to do due diligence and didn't know what they were buying. At the same time, they're telling investors they *did* do due diligence, and analyzed the business's last few years of financials. These can't both be true.
The social media startups and AI startups of today are eerily similar to the dot-com startups of the late 90s.
The company is the product. The investors are the customers. Users are fuel.
When creating the Torment Nexus, you gotta' start somewhere.
Prohibition to download and install software yourself is typically part of your employment contract.

The IBM purchase of ROLM gives new meaning to the term "twisted pair". -- Howard Anderson, "Yankee Group"
