"It says EU laws -- which have sought to make it easier for smaller firms to compete with big tech -- have resulted in some Apple features and enhancements being delayed for European users"
Restrictions are not features for users, despite many hostages' Stockholm syndromes to the contrary.
"So unless your sport involve ZERO upper and lower body strength, it makes sense to separate sports by sex"
Per your own logic this is based on the importance of strength only. Therefore this assertion only makes sense if it's a sport where dexterity cannot make up for strength.
You don't know what Ad Hominem is.
It is NOT insulting people.
It is where you say an idea is wrong because someone said it. It may also be accompanied by an insult to attempt to support the argument.
When someone says only an idiot would believe something and then explains why, that is not Ad Hominem. It's just an argument with an insult next to it.
Feel free to object to the insult, but don't make shit up.
It's generally understood that copyright law protects the form of an expression. Turning code into an academic paper that is not a "line by line transposition into English" or something similar would be "transformative" (and also pass the other tests, like non-competitive, etc.) and therefore fair use.
Remember, private copyright lawsuits are allowed only because Congress says they are. Congress cannot pass a law that infringes on freedom of speech (well, they can, but the courts will usually strike those laws down). Copyright law enforcement has been upheld within limits. When free speech is exercised in the way I described it, "freedom of speech" is the order of the day.
... and always have been completely bedazzled on why MS Word even has a business case. How this piece of software could gain the market let alone survive to this very day is a mystery to me.
Because Corel doesn't aggressively market the fact that WordPerfect 1.) still exists, 2.) is less expensive, 3.) is much faster and more stable, because 4.) it's not sold as SaaS, and 5.) it can open and save Word documents natively.
Unfortunately, even if they did, there are too few people who perceive WordPerfect as a "big name" anymore; nobody wants to be the first to shift away from Office or Google Docs and be the office that everyone hates sharing documents with, so it's a classic case of "everyone uses it because everyone uses it"
If this was an obviously expensive process then would there be so much excitement about it?...I find it strange to conclude that there's an obvious flaw that escaped mention
Look at facts, look at what was mentioned. Look at what wasn't mentioned. The article says it has real world potential, it doesn't say it's inexpensive (or even ready for the real world). There's no analysis at all of the drawbacks.
Right now, the CCP is in the process of formulating its next five year plan. Groups are hyping up their accomplishments in order to justify the funding they've been given and ensure continued funding in the future.
You never got the chance to drink a real Belgian gueuze or lambic then?
I've had lambic, no clue on whether it was authentic or not, I didn't enjoy it though. But I still don't think it's bad, it's just not for me.
Saving my biggest point for last... This is a clear "violation" of the claims I have thrown at me that there could never be an economically viable means to synthesize hydrocarbon fuels.
This is a strange conclusion to make, since you don't know how much the process costs. (Note: literally begging the question).
Why do managers have to "defend" their reports? If the team is performing, then everyone on the team should get better ratings.
It's really common in medium-to-large companies for all the managers to get together every year, and discuss who will get a raise/promotion and who will not. The number of raises available is limited, so if the manager wants to get a raise for someone on his team, he/she has to know how to fight for it.
The number of raises/promotions is limited in order to keep payroll as small as possible.
They can break your purchased equipment but YOU are the criminal if you fix it? Next you'll tell me it would be wrong to hunt down the execs and coders who implemented the break and breaking them... illegal, sure, but not wrong.
The evidence was deleted
It is and always has been insane that all these governments run mostly on Windows.
A lot of them use to use a lot of IBM mainframe stuff behind the scenes, and there's still a fair bit of it around underpinning things, but pretty much all of the new projects are Windows-based.
It's also naive to think that Israel is only facing murderous terrorists in Gaza, the entire arab world has wanted them destroyed for decades.
They've wanted to conquer the whole Arab world since forever, and they are now attacking pieces of it outside of Gaza. They wrote themselves a book that said it was all theirs, and now they're trying to make it come true. The evangelicals are helping them try because they believe it will bring about the end times. As it happens, there's several of the foretold signs around right now, so they naturally think it's working and are doubling down. In the bargain, we have the tools and equipment to make it happen, and long since furnished the technology to Israel to try to make it happen sooner. But they kicked out Netanyahu and things were looking relatively sane for a while (though the Israeli settlers never stopped stealing more land or murdering more Palestinians) and we're all supposed to believe that none of it is their fault. This would be funny if it weren't actually terrifying that people can believe that.
Freedom of speech.
If the roles were switched, there wouldn't be a single Jew left alive in Israel right now
Soon there won't be any Palestinians alive in Gaza.
Netanyahu is just as bad as Hamas, both of them need to go. Hamas is going, and Netanyahu won't be in power forever
It won't take him forever to finish his genocide.
I'm putting my bets on 2 or 3. 4 is also a possiblity, with or without 2 or 3.
1 won't happen merely because of a lawsuit, but it might happen if Trump decides to put eleventy-billion-percent tarrifs on the UK in response.
Type louder, please.
