There was a kid in my middle school, he had a pet goat. Every essay he wrote was about that damn goat. Finally, the teacher had enough and told him to write an essay about a tree. So his essay was started off "There was a big tall tree, and under that tree my goat played. That goat was an awesome goat who .. " etc. and thus he made his essay about his God damn goat.

Was that kid you? Did your stupid goat get run over by a capitalist? Because every fucking comment you write twists everything into we should become communists.

Where would anyone be if we couldn't learn from and utilize the work of others. How would it be possible to calculate the hypotenuse of a right-triangle if nobody was allowed to infringe on Pythagorus' patent? I should be allowed to encode my knowledge into a computer. If not, then no CAD program is legal because the CAD programmer used ideas from various textbooks.

Comment Pearl Harbor .. never forget. (Score 1) 33

The ships and lives at Pearl Harbor were irreplaceable treasures too. AI is too important for the world, Japan can't expect to make money off manga/anime forever. Americans made the first transistor, but the world makes them. We didn't even try to block that. At some point an invention, after the inventor has squeezed a reasonable benefit, becomes public domain (and that means Japanese too benefit from it). The reason is all inventions are based on prior inventions of others worldwide in some way.

4 years is a lot of time to hold on to an ancient PC (most likely you have a 10+ year old computer if it doesn't meet windows 11 spec.) Ok, let's say you can't upgrade because you fell on hard times-- it happens to everyone .. then switch to Linux for fuck's sake. I don't see why Microsoft has to keep supporting 4 year old shit especially if it still works. I wouldn't hook it up a Windows 10 PC internet though that's irresponsible/negligent like walking into a public place without a COVID mask.
