All news is by definition, recent history.

That's because it doesn't need filters, it's bloody components, especially the screen, aren't sealed.

Because Ford getting a patent for "parking in the sun with windows slightly open" sounds like an Onion Article.

Who's the black private dick, That's a sex machine to all the chicks? (Schaft) You're damn right. Who is the robot that would risk his neck for his brother, man? (Schaft) Can ya dig it? Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about? (Schaft) Right on. You see this cat Schaft is a bad mother- (Shut your mouth) But I'm talkin' about Schaft. (Then we can dig it) He's a complicated robot but no one understands him but his programmer. (Google Schaft)

The entire system is constructed to funnel middle class and lower class taxes to the rich, because they own, operate and authored the system that they benefit from. Meanwhile, my taxes have not changed a single cent because to the rich we are subhuman and undeserving simply by being weak enough to be their victims. Thus always with sociopaths. Trumpers are merely useful idiots to be used to genocide the poor through climate change and economic rape.

I posit that if you have been arguing for more than a decade on the internet about the definition of neuroticism, you ARE the definition of neuroticism.

HA HA, you thought your homebrew infrastructure was up to snuff.

That's the modus operandi for the wealthy in general. Hell the internet itself, which was a utopian vision of communication, has long since been weaponized as a tool for oppression.

I think anyone who can't figure out that the letter 'n' comes after 'b' or that in version numbers that include letters 'ac' comes after 'n' is also too stupid to know that 6 comes after 5.

This is true but a C&D is the first step to shut it down and not necessary if they weren't planning on it. This is Anaxar all over again.

ally CBS only shuts down fan projects for Star Trek when it's better than whatever they are making. For example, a fan project, Axanar about the first Federation Klingon war, was originally given the blessing of the studio to proceed so the fan production company made Prelude to Axanar and got a Kickstarter going to fund it. After CBS watched Prelude and realized that it had a more engaging story, more recognized actors and more faithful to canon (not to mention had a better-looking ship which is a big deal to ST fans) than their own property in development, the much-maligned abomination that is Star Trek: Discovery, they immediately began a legal war to stop the project for reasons that didn't become clear until ST:D launched. So this tells us two things, one they have a commercial project that uses a recreation of the Enterprise and two they don't want comparisons with whatever they're making with sweatshop pixel monkeys and something made with love by fans. I was going to pass on this whole thing because I figured it would suck but now they are doing this I'm going to find a place I can download it from as soon as I get home.

Doing that with books is hard, but yeah, totes. Right now with Apple, what you are actually doing is a long-term rental or lease, legally speaking, that grants you access as long as Apple has a "copy right" to distribute the file. When Apple no longer has that right, they revoke those rights for everyone that sub-leased the file from Apple. This lease is clearly laid out, buried under a mountain of text in the License agreement with Apple, and deceptively labeled "Buy" in the store. Even though the buy button is clearly there to mislead you into thinking you own the file and is only there to defraud you since if they put "long-term rental" or "Leased for the duration of licensing terms with rights holder" you would just order the Blu-ray from Amazon for less money and rip the fucking yourself. Ultimately this is fraud since your intent is to own a copy of the movie and Apple and the rights holder are misleading you with deceptive language and practices to make you think that you bought, and now own, something that you didn't.

Democrats today are just 1980s and early 90s Republicans, the Clintons lead that transition. If the actual left rose up the Democrats would get the bullet too. Nixon was to the left of Barack Obama on most issues, including his commitment to bringing pointless wars to an end.
