There are approximately 75 million people in the potential market for free speech. Aren't Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, etc. just handing this whole market to the first billionaire that happens along with some time on his hands?

I see from the replies that a basic understanding of history is mostly absent. Because as you know, this is only beginning. It isn't stopping here. The list of banned names grows as we speak. And those cheering now are going to have a very rude awakening when this plays out. By their own hand they will reap what they sow. And they have no idea it is coming.

The reason the forests aren't being properly managed is due to lawsuits from the environmentalists . Every time the Feds or State get a plan together to do the forest management, the environmentalists get a restraining order. This has been going on for years, and has prevented proper management,.

If it plugs into the wall I support it.

One of the oldest truths in IT. Welcome to the fold my son.

If "Larger animals face a greater risk of disappearing than smaller animals" and "In a sense, we're driving evolution toward smaller individuals", then they should be thanking us for preparing them to survive the mass extinction!

Everyone rushes to the explanation of the DAC, skipping right past the analog signal converter found in every sound system. The speakers themselves. Sure the DAC rounds it all out, but then anything left (if any) is then pushed through a magnet and cone that then turns the recording into sound waves. Sound WAVES not sound STEPS.

I think this film was designed to make you want to go dig out your copy of 2001 and watch it. And in that, it succeeded.

Duck around the corner. Then thud thud thud, you are dead anyway. And this is the "fixed" code. This article suggests another fix; don't buy the game. I just hope this new fix works better than the prior ones. LOL.

Yet another answer for "Why is my hard drive going constantly?"
