>Big announcements were made for sub-10kg laptops (22lbs).

I had a backlit Macintosh Portable (actually, I still have it, but it needs recapping). In its carrying case, and with power supply and spare battery, it came to 26 pounds.

Which was the same weight as the desktop Macs of the time.

I actually hurt my shoulder lugging it through an airport once.

I think it was the powerbook 180 that replaced it on which I had a problem with airport security--they wanted to see a C: prompt. I think it was finally a manager that told him to let me through.

better yet, set an activation time at which a few weeks worth of drones will simultaneously activate and attack a range of Russian sites . . .

uhm . . .. let's see . . . "In soviet Russia, the data backs *you* up!" ?

There is no right to privacy.

There is no right to your image.

Government can TRY to make those rights, but the freedom of expression is superior to the idea that you can stop me from hand drawing your image when you're at the beach.

This is statism, writ large.

You get paid for work you PERFORM, but not work you RECORD. Copyright is anti-individual rights and liberties.

I'll be glad when Ai truly replaces all of these artists.

rat and roach, I see. what are the others?

yeah, don't do that.

I find most food too disgusting eat even a second time, let alone every day. At best, it would be wilted. Probably at least soggy, and, well . . .

cats & dogs have a different notion of how many times to eat the same food, though.

It *does* explain why he needs so much of your money for expenses . . .

>It's not clear this is a stepping stone to anything else.

perhaps to one-way trips for celebrities? I could get behind that!

(In space, noone has to hear Katy Perry sing)

>I didn't watch Independence Day that close. Did the aliens win or the people?

It starts as a win for the people, as the aliens destroy DC.

Unfortunately, they later turned out to be hostile.

Oh come on.

We've been saying "Thanks, Biden!" for years as a joke, and you blue haired legbeards always got riled up with your "source????" and "citation needed???" cries.

(FWIW I don't support Trump and have never voted Republican).

This all sounded great until the word "catheter"!

!!!

then I crossed my legs, and knocked my computer on the floor.

This is such cry-baby nonsense.

NONSENSE.

Since 2008, I have personally mentored dozens of young dudes (at no cost whatsoever, just because that's what successful people do).

I have helped poor dudes in bad neighborhoods buck up, get some side hustles, stack cash, and buy property.

You fucked yourself because you refuse to actually do someone to buy property. I don't know ANYONE, starting with even zero money, who couldn't find a nice home in just 2-3 years of saving money properly -- except the lepers in California, and fuck them anyway.

If they're concerned with that, they should *avoid* Microsoft, unless they are going to keep an old machine with each version forever.

Historically, staroffice/libreoffice/openoffice has done a *better* job than ms of reading prior versions of ms documents.

but you're not removing that interest--you'er just changing who pays for it.

"public finance" isn't free, nor does it mean that the money doesn't get borrowed. Rather, the net increase in public debt is the amount paid out by the government.
