You can't even run Firefox versions newer than 115 since they dropped support for Windows 7 ages ago...

No, pretty sure the original was correct

Not to hear them whinge about it. Each used sale takes money away from them in their own whines and words. Because if they could keep you from buying the used copy, they could sell you the new one (If I'm disinterested in spending the money, no, you wouldn't- but they don't see things that way...)...

Here's an example of the thinking there...and a study that shows how dangerous the thinking actually might be...

Bingo! Not sharing that you found nothing means you're trying to hide things...

It is a requirement, though not often followed in any endeavor these days, to show your "homework" for a given conclusion or set thereof.

Doesn't matter if you're talking a Law, or a bit of Physics research.

Hiding things or discounting them because they don't provide you conclusive answers is not science, law, or the like- it's merely religion in other clothing.

Ah, this is so cute.

Copyright is an artificial, government backed monopoly on the publication and distribution of a "protected" work .

You are not assured of any money whatsoever. Ever. The LGP edition of Ballistics from Grin, SE proved that out to me. Even if there wasn't the 5-10k units of pirated versions on The Pirate Bay out there, the thing probably wouldn't have been much more sold for Linux.

Not because of the Linux market's "small". I know better. You appear to not.
Not because of the piracy, though that didn't help. I know better. You appear to not.

It was because we couldn't price the thing to what the market, at that time, could willingly bear. People would point to the bargain-bin priced Windows version and ask why they should spend $40 when it's available for $5, with the understanding that it only ran so-so under WINE. Seriously.

People will pay you what they believe it is worth. I know this because I saw some small, but real amounts of money from my participation with the Humble Indie Bundle #2. No DRM. No BS. Pay me what you thought this was worth or donate it all to charity- or somewhere in-between. It's my right and desire to control how it's shipped, copied, etc. within the limits allowed me by law for things, relative to work for hire, etc. that I agree to. But, to say what you said? X-D

Do you have IP, which is to say, creative works protected by Copyright or Patent? I. Do. As a rights holder, I can tell you that the rights are only worth the amount you are legally able to pursue enforcement of the same. Unless you're a big, big corporation, there's some hard limits on your rights there- because you don't have the finances and all to defend the same. Legally speaking, your only position (hint: Morality doesn't even factor into this...) is to not use the works in question. Morally? You should abide by the law so long as it's not wrong/evil. DMCA? Probably wrong/evil. Copyright? You have fair use exemptions, which in many cases people "stealing" it all fall under. And, it's not theft. It's infringing on your right to control publication and distribution. Again...no assurances of money. No assurances of people doing the legally right thing...ever.

Morality? This varies between persons and what faiths and beliefs they hold. I don't hold yours...why should I let you dictate to me that? (Oh, WAIT... I don't ,)

Heh... Since many know they did this...I question the "quality" of anything that they provide. I don't even bother contemplating paying for their shit. I see if I can find comparable or the actual article published by the school, etc. that did the work. Oftentimes, there's as good or better than at Elsevier.

Notgear.

Which makes them quite the Tool.

This doesn't even get into the reality that 70% of all the "computers" are embedded beasties...all those "IoT" processors and the bulk of them are programmed in C or C++. A Node.JS or Python option is available, but neither of those are what you'd call "secure". You might be able to get Go to "go" onto those platforms or Swift- but they're a bit largish and don't really target the small stuff.

The remark about .Net or Java means they're a real Headupassian. No clue whatsoever what they're managing- and it sadly shows.

Ah, but must will stupidly agree to it.

I'm unsure I even like this "feature" with it being controllable.

Explain Union Shops. If you aren't a member of the union and pay your dues, you don't get to work there.

Bingo. People keep presuming things that they shouldn't. LiFi's a consume only thing in the large. It's not as useful as people believe it to be. As I said earlier on this discussion for TFA- this is a solution looking for problems to solve.

Hint: It's largely one-way. It doesn't bring office space magic unless it's two way- and while there's two-way LiFi, it's got it's own set of issues.

They already have this. It's called HomePlug. For most situations in most homes you can get gigabit links over your house wiring.
