Once they come of age, they can verify their age by whatever means provided, and flip the adult flag.

Thats exactly what I'm saying. Everything electric is a niche but that's not working.

Still if you extrapolate the number of people buying them it will be 50 years before they are mainstream.

Ships and trucks haven't worked yet. They haven't hit sales volume yet. You keep talking like they will.

Bold gouge while assuming GTA6 is going to actually release this fall.

I would normally be measuring the release of GTA6 in Grand Theft units, but since that's too hypo-ironic I'm forced to measure it in Nukem units instead. I'd estimate we still have another 2.7 Nukem Forevers to go until someone can actually commit grand theft at the GameStop register at midnight circa Christmas Eve 2028 when the game finally drops for a mere $1,199**.

** NOTE: It is a felony in all 50 States to sell or purchase GTA6 without a PS6 console.

Good. THEY will be held accountable for every vote they don't get as a result.

Then THEY won't fucking matter, because THEY will instantly become one of US.

Just have to convince the jury that you have reason not to like a law and they can nullify it.

Is sailing the high seas in search of music actually illegal there, rather then a civil offence? Where I am, every time I buy a blank cassette or CDR, the *AA get a cut, supposedly to share with the musicians and writers, therefore the courts have ruled copying music for personal use is legal.
Sharing movies does mean you can sued for the cost of buying it on a DVD.
What the law does come down is counterfeiting others IP and selling it.

While I am not convinced that is the real reason, it would make a lot of sense if it was.

The latter, I think. For instance, Philips was by no means a monopoly, but they had a similar long-term vision. Philips Research generated a similar number of patents, and their researchers were very much encouraged to publish papers and engage with the wider scientific community.

Indeed.

That isn’t analysis, it’s a right wing rant built on stereotypes, paranoia, and zero evidence. Typially, all you right wing fanatics blame entire groups instead of engaging with reality, you ignore how companies actually operate and you replace facts with insults. Phrases like “go woke go broke” might feel satisfying, but they don’t explain anything and they're wrong, meaningless and stupid. If you want to criticize Disney, there are real issues to point to. This just advertises your bias and demonstrates that you're the fascist.

Indeed, your entire staterment is exactly what real fascist comments looks like, an evil person pretending that they and thier greed and hatred are not the problem. Shame on you for selling us out. Meanwhile the corruption and the classism at Disney continues as the rich people who own us continue to cheat, lie and steal and people like you are letting it happen.

It's not. There's nothing about news which requires it to be a surprise. Why do you think anyone finds it surprising? TFS and TFA don't. The only surprise was the cancellation of SORA which very much came out of nowhere.

oracle's critical remote execution vulnerability over unauthenticated http in their 12.2 identity manager and web services manager seems to be about 7 years old so, no. or, not yet. the best is still to come!

Well, yes. I am aware what the GPL means, but I realize my statement may not have been clear enough. Lets me rephrase that: "A distro that is hard to compile/modify for a regular user".

Interesting. Now /. is not important enough for somebody to get paid to push this crap. Hence I think deeply mentally defective person with delusions of superiority. You know, like the a bit more extreme conservatives. I hear some of them even claim these days that the war with Iran is a good thing and that of course the US will win and everything will be fine afterwards. No actual expert has stated something even remotely like that as the best-case scenario.

The depth of sheer human mental incapability and capability for delusion is truly staggering.
