No, the point is I am surrounded by plastic. I kept (hoarded?) all those game boxes from back in the day. They are still more useful to me than the anti-theft clam shell plastic wrapping that encases everything you buy today.

To stay on topic, GOG should just have a printable PDF you can print at an office supply store onto a cardboard blank - then you have a real box you can fold up - and it isn't just more plastic waste.

All that savings undone when you buy one cheap usb flash drive encased in a hard plastic clam shell in the store to backup the game's download files. Don't forget the scissors you buy to open that flash drive package also came in a plastic clam shell. But those scissors broke when you tried to cut the plastic. So you drove back out in your gas guzzler to buy a nice sharp knife that also comes in an even thicker bigger plastic clam shell. Oh and those broken scissors? not recyclable so it and those plastic handles to cushion the grip for your soft hands are now in the trash.

Because when it comes to Nuclear, everyone has their hand out wanting a piece of the pie. Many hands are self-inserted middlemen, but many more are hands out asking to be paid to go away.

What this will do is cause less people to publish their preliminary work. Which in turn means less collaboration. The end result is that thanks to blatant corporate slop, science and math and everything else will be hidden behind walls slowing progress of everything.

And the whole article could have stopped there.

It is unethical to cheat and steal, but the internet has become anti-ethical. And it probably always was since it is just a mirror of society. People that don't think they will get caught or punished don't care about ethics. This is why the global social internet is the way it is and you can't change human nature, you can only filter it through a lot of restrictions no longer possible because of the internet.

It's always obvious when the ad blocker isn't working for whatever reason.

You can't spell Krusty (the Clown) either.

Remember the news hoopla all about 'it'? That pretty much all died when we found out it was the Segway.

I want my coffee back, and a new keyboard.

People don't need intelligent assistants, they need wise assistance. Even if it speaks poor grammar, wisdom that isn't wrong would be a far superior product.

Because that would be the sane thing to do, don't give crooks and liars publicity.

How did you get a license?

Then it can remember what you did.

I have an LG TV from before 'connected smart' was a thing. Plenty of connections, still works, a bit small by modern standards. I am usually loyal to a company with a product that works for so long without issues - so much for that.

You asked for a route and they gave you one. You could still edit the route yourself instead of being a sheep. They even offer alternative routes and you just pick one. Use the brain.

It looks like those routes got you there at the same time while helping everyone get there a tiny bit quicker.

If you don't like it don't use their service. Get a paper map and learn to self-plan.

What if they intentionally just gave everyone the same lazy route and now it is a traffic jam on purpose? That is unethical, would not the ethical thing to do be to spread traffic around to avoid traffic delays? Well that is exactly what they did.
