still news worthy, even without flock, police basically store a car, wrecked it, all under the guise that its part of a crime when not and are not rectifying it.

They should be held 110% liable for the car and forcing the person to forgo and go through all the painful hoops to get it back to the point where the price of a new car seams cheap.

Impounding should not happen with such a low amount of evidence, and IMO should come after some kind of court thing that prevents mistakes and they should assume all liability to any damage even if it was used in a crime.

The fact that it was AI that said it was the same car and the cops raised a question but didn't really question it is also noteworthy.

err, while nice, not possible but really, if its no longer being sold/maintained, users should be allowed what ever they want to make it still usable for them.

Still respect the right that can't copy/distribute, but to those who bought it, they can do what ever to keep it functional. (and this right can't be signed away)

If selling becomes economically less viable than leasing or renting or a library-subscription, then selling will no longer be offered by vendors.

Selling has always been less viably than renting. Every company wants a (renting) revenue stream, even car companies and appliance makers have been and are trying to push this.(and make things "unrepairable")

It requires us to vote with our wallets(and spread word to others) But mostly its also consumer protection laws for things to big/monopolies.

But yes, with this being games, tell as many people as you know, get them on board and only buy from good companies.

And thus we create a new wave of good companies that will grow where the old goes out of business thus having a healthy business environment.

yes, gnome went crap, and took the toolkit with it however mate or xfce is much better than even cinnamon.

Only problem I have is really being able to see if I like mate or xfce, but am leaning more to xfce maybe.

I just wish I could change colors and things like I could a decade ago.(in all OS's) and even worse, why is there no longer active vs non active distinctions in title bars?!?!

I know people who work in new york, but "live" in say kentucky and that's how it exactly works. And they are not even rich to get special teams of lawyers. Granted newyork and cali who's been chasing away people have tried to create more laws to still rape people leave pelenty of loop holes for the rich to not get caught.

Even when I traveled a lot, I spent greater than 70% of my time in another state, my state of residence didn't change.

actually what many companies do is the products (say TV) being sold at different stores at almost the exact same thing. Almost., just different enough to not be the exact same thing.

Can't price match different items(even if they are really the same thing)

all the common questions get asked, and so anyone asking a question that already has an answer gets their question shot down

Right, flagging things as dupes is also worry some, as the right answer to the same question changes over time.

And that's assuming that the original had the correct one listed, and is relevant to whats being asked, and the answer is complete and local not just a link to a now dead source.

They need to assume
1. It may not be easy to find correct relevant dupe
2. The dupe may not be seen as relevant
3. The old answer may not be correct anymore.

IMO the answer should be pulling in a dupe and allowed to be voted if correct or not, not a shutdown.
